& FACE TO FACE. A New Problem for Women. In the looking-elans a woman often sees wrinkles, hollow circles under the eyes, crow's feet—*ll because she did not turn to the right remedy when worn down with those troubles which are distinctly feminine. Backache, lassitude, nervousness and the pains and drains of womanhood bring such untold suffering that the face Is sure to show ft Every woman, young or old. Is well protected from the blues, nerviiusmw.

Weak women are made strong and sick I women are made well by this splendid prescription which was used by Doctor I Pierce in his large private practice In the | specialty of women's diseases. Every woman troubled in this way should write him about her case, care of Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo. N. Y. Many times women call on their family physicians, suffering as they Imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart dls- ' ease, another from liver or kidney dis-1 ease, another from nervous exhaustion or pr> stration, another with pain here and i tine, and in thia way they all present

A CLEAN SHOW Ringling Bros, and Bailey Never Were It Some Facts of Interest About the Forepaußh A Sells Circus Which Shows Mere August Twelveth That the Forepaugh and bells Bros ’ circus is to be here soon is an assured fact, and one that the small boy will not likely forget. It is interesting to note, however, that it was but chance tbat made it possible for the show to com* here, indeed but chance tbat put it on the road at all this season. At the close of the show season last fall, Lewis bells, the last of the original Sells brothers, decided to retire from the circus business, and resolved to sell off bis entire show at public auction. The announcement of this intended move brought circus men, zoo keepers, and petty investors from all over the world, for Forepaugh and Sells had a manegerial collection and circus outfit which was the envy of many an ambitious show man. and wide awake zoo managers. When the d*y fiially arrive 1 f >r ths auction about two hundred men gath ered at the circus headquarters at Columbus, Ohio, anxiously awaiting the appearance of the auctioneer. Some were there to buy an elephant, perhaps a whole drove of them, others a hippopotamus or perhaps a royal Bengal. Some were present only to get a chance at the two hundred horses or a boa constrictor. Everythin g was to go from a train of care to a sacred cow, and the many there were anxiously awaiting for the sale to begin. Imaginj the disappointment when it was announced that the sale had been declared off Their disappointment was manifested by deep frowns, a volley of curses and cat calls hurled at the mail who made the announcement, that man being no other than James B. Bailey of Barnum and Bailey fame. Mr. Bailey, a showman of much fame and more wealth had some several. thousand in the Selle shows, being the heaviest stockholder, and when he saw that he could not buy it in at his Eownprice.be abandoned the idea of an auetkn sale. Otto Ringling, of the Ringling Bros ’ shows, was Mr Bailey s most formidable cp ponent, and it was due to his activity th«t the sale never occurred M Bailey and the Ringling Bros, took the show in together and it is now operated under their management. About >200,000 was expended in repairing the equipment and adding new features and the show is now

i alike to themselves and their easy-going I and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases. for which he, a-sumlng them to t>e such, prescribes his pills and potions. In reality they areonlv m/mptiinu caused by some womb disease. The physician ignorant of the cause of suffering, encourages this practice until large bills are made. The suffering patient gets no ts'tter. but probably worse, I by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications. A proper medicine like Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, dlrccnd to the cause, would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dispelling all those distressing symptoms, and instituting comfort instead of pr<e longed misery. It has been well said that "a disease- known Is half cured." In cases almost Innumerable, after all other medicines had failed to help and doctor* had said there was no cure possible, the I use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, supplemented, when necessary, by the medical advice and counsel of Dr. Pierce, ■ has resulted in a perfect and permanent I cure. The genuineness of these cun* is attested not only by the entire dlsapjiearance of pain, but by a gain in flesh, a dear complexion and a cheerful disposition. THE BECKET OUT. To refute the many false and malicious attacks, bogus formula and other untruthful statements published concerning Dr. Pierce’s Family Medicines, the I Doctor has decided to publish all the ingredients entering Into his " Favorite Prescription” for women, as follows; Blue Cohosh root. Lady’s Clipper root. Unicorn root, Golden Seal root and Rattleweed root, these Ingredients being macerated for a long time In a non-alcoholic menstruum. The exact working formula for ’ making these medicines cost Dr. Pierce and his collaborating Chemist and Pharmacist many years of study and experimental but as perfected they produce ' almost perfect pharmaceutical compounds emtxdying all the active, medl- ' cfnal principles residing in the ingredients employed. — Remember, these are the Wjjurre** ORIGINAL Little Liver Pills, Kwwiva **”’ put Ut) O,d |,r K- V. pierce, over 40 years ago. and altbo much Imitated, bare never tiein 'equaled. .Made of concentrated and refined | medicinal principles, extracted from native I American plants and roots, therefore purely vegetable and perfectly harmless.
