There is not a thread of anything but wool in any fabric ever used in Clothcraft. Clothcraft styles are the very best product of the most expert designers. These designers are more ■Kilful and up-to-date than any local tailors can possibly be, for they are constantly in touch with the styles of B London and New York. We positively assert that we can give you a better fitting, more stylish suit, in Clothcraft Clothes, than you can possibly get elsewhere for the same money. The styles illustrated are the London and Paddock raincoats, in gun-metal greys, oxfords, tans and blacks H —the very height of fashion—priced from sl2 to S3O. Holthouse, Schulte 5, Company

Girlhood, Womanhood, Motherhood.

The first lesson that the young girl has of womanhood is usually a painful one. She learns to know what headache means, and backache, and sometimes is sadly borne down by this new experience of life. All the pain and misery which young girls commonly experience at such a time may, in almost every instance, be entirely prevented or cured by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It establishes regularity. It tones upthe general health, and cures headache, backache, nervousness, chorea, or St, Vitus’s dance, and other consequences of womanly weakness or disease. MOTHER OF THE FAMILY. The anxious mother of the family oftentimes carries the whole burden of responsibility so far as the home medication of common ailments of the girls ! or boys are concerned. The cost of the ; doctor’s visits are very often much too great. At such times the mother is invited to write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., for medical advice, which is given free. Correspondence is held sacredly confidential. IT STANDS ALONE. "Favorite Prescription” is the only medicine for women the makers of which are not afraid to print just what it is made of on every bottle wrapper, | It is the only medicine for women every ingredient of which has the unanimous endorsement of all the leading medical writers of this country, I recommending it for the cure of the ; very same diseases for which this " Pre-1 scription” is advised. A mother’s love. A mother’s love is so divine that the j roughest man cannot help but appreciate it as the crown of womanhood. ; However, motherhood is often looked I, forward to with feelings of great dread by most women. At such times a Woman is nervous, dyspeptic, irritable, and she is in need of a uterine tonic ' 1 and nervine, a strength builder to fit* : her for the ordeal. No matter how ' healthy or strong a woman may be she i 1 cannot but be benefited by taking Dr. j Pierce’s Favorite Prescription to prepare ; for the event. It makes childbirth easy j' and often almost painless. j 1 DR. PIERGE’S FAVORITE PRESCRIPTION ! | is a powerful, invigorating tonic. It.' imparts strength to the whole system ] and to the womb and its appendages 1 in particular.

e I a scientific medicine, carefullv devised I by an experienced and skillful physician, ana adapted to woman’s delicate organism. It is purely vegetable in its composition and perfectly harmless in its effects in any condition of the system. For morning sickness or nausea, weak stomach, indigestion, dyspepsia and kindred symptoms, its use will prove very beneficial. CURES OBSTINATE CASES. "Favorite Prescription” is a positive cure for the most complicated and obstinate cases of leucorrhea, excessive flowing, painful menstruation, unj natural suppressions and irregularities, I prolapsus or falling of the womb, weak back, "female weakness,” anteversion, retroversion, bearing-down sensations, I chronic congestion, inflammation and ulceration of the womb, inflammation, pain and tenderness of the ovaries, accompanied with "internal heat.” HOW TO LOOK BEAUTIFUL. Young women or matrons should not allow themselves to look sallow and wrinkled because of those pains and weaknesses which become chronic and are the result of colds, tight lacing, and the imprudent care of the womanly systern. Many a woman would look beautiful, have healthy color and bright eves if it were not for those drains on her strength and those weaknesses which come all too frequently and make her life miserable. There is a ready-to-use Prescription, used a great many years by Dr. R. V. Pierce in his large practice aa a Specialist in women’s diseases, which is not like the many "patent medicines” on the market, as it contains neither alcohol nor any narcotic, or other harmful drug. It is purely vegetable. It ia known as Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre* scription and is sold by druggists. DR. PIERCE’S PLEASANT PELLETS cure biliousness, sick and bilious headache, dizziness, costiveness, or constipation of the bowels, loss of appetite, coated tongue, sour stomach, windy belchings, " heartburn,” pain and distress after eating, and kindred derangements of the liver, stomach and bowels. Persons subjected to any of these troubles should never be without a vial of the "Pleasant Pellets” at hand. In proof of their superior excellence it can truthfully be said that they are always adopted as a household remedy after the first trial. One little "Pellet” is a laxative, two are cathartic. They regulate, invigorate and cleanse the liver, stomach and bowels. As a "dinner pill,” to promote digestion, take one each day. To relieve the distress arising from overeating, nothing equals one of these little "Pellets.” They’re tiny, sugarcoated, anti-biliov; granules, scarcely larger than mustaid seeds. HEALTH AND HAPPINESS. How to five in health and happiness, is the general theme of Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Adviser.
