that she certainly woulj not .have to give the Columbia any time allowance, and was correspondingly cheerful when he came to take leave of his two skippers. The weather indications, according to the special forecast sent out from Washington, are that the wind will be fresh from the northeast. If so the yachts will start from Sandy Hook lightship and run almost dead before the wind down the Jersey coast to a point Just beyond Long Branch- According to a dispatch received from the Monmouth Keach life-saving station at 10 o'clock tonight, there will be quite a heavy sea off Sandy Hook to-morrow unless the wind moderates or shifts to another quarter. The cup defender Columbia was the first boat of the two to be measured. When the tell-tale -on the caisson showed that here was about twenty-one feet of water in the ' dock the Columbia floated, but in order to be sure that the ship was off the blocks' the water continued to flow In until there was about four inches short of twentyeight feet. John Uyslop, the official measurer of the New York Yacht Club, and who has put the tape on many a cup challenger and defender In past years, performed the task again to-day. He arrived at the navy yard shortly before 8 o'clock and at once commenced work getting the length of the boom, gaff, mast and spinnaker pole. The crew rendered all the assistance they could and a man was hoisted In a boatswain's chair to the top to carry the tape to the head of the topmast. " THREE INCHES TOO LONG. In measuring the length of the spinnaker boom it was found that the pole was about three Inches longer than the restrictions allowed that Is, from the center of the bowsprit between the Jib and the jib topsail stay 3 to the mast was one-quarter of a foot too long. Capt- Charley Barr called Into requisition a fine-toothed saw and cut two inches from one end and one inch from the other of the pplnnaker pole. Then plans were made to measure the water line and over-all lengths of the boat. The crew and C. Oliver Iselin, Capt. Woodbury Kane, Albert Leeds, Butler Duncan, Jr., of the Defender; Harry F. Llppltt, of the America's cup committee; Hugh C. .Kelly, secretary of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club, who will sail on Columbia as Sir Thomas Llpton's representative in the cup series; J. Connell. also of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club; Capt. Nat HerreshofE and Mrs. C. Oliver Iselin were aboard the American boat when the hull was measured. Mrs. 'Jselln, Mr. Duncan and Secretary Kelly were In the cabin engaged In conversation while all the others on board, with the exception of Nat Herreshoff, Capt. Barr and Mr. Connell, were placed amidships in order to bring the boat down evenly to the water line. Mr. Herreshoff. Capt. Barr and Mr. Con- ' rtell assisted Measurer Hyslop In getting the figures'. The forward overhang was first measured. A plumb line was suspended from the very tip of the bow, and, getting Into a boat, Mr. Hyslop, by means of long measuring rod, got the length from the plumb line to the water line on the . bow. The after overhang was obtained In a similar manner, and after these dimension? had been obtained the measurer applied the tape from the taffrail to the bow to get the length over all. After making a Jew calculations Mr. Hyslop announced to Messrs. Iselin and HerresnoffC the result of his measurements. MORE LEAD TAKEN ABOARD. Evidently the figure was somewhat less than the managing owner desired to sail the Columbia on, for a dozen men were sent ashore In the tender, and, going to the steam tender riymouth, carried over to the Columbia twenty pigs of lead, aggregating about 1,700 pounds In weight. Previous to takl'ij the measurements a lot of dunnage ' was brought up from the Columbia's cabin , and put in several large rowboats, as it was the intention of the captain to clean out from the hull all movable articles. Mr. Leeds stated that the pigs of lead were placed In the Columbia to make up for the loss in weight occasioned by the removal of the dunnage, but it was noticeable that when the ballast had been added the Columbia sat lower in the water than she did before. Then Mr. Hyslop measured her water line again, and the length S3 feet 6 61-100 Inches proving satisfactory to the owners and Designer Herreshoff. a V-shaped mark In red paint was placed at the water line on each side of the hull about amidships?. As soon as Mr. Iselin announced that the measurements operation had been finished the crew I took aboard their dunnage and several spare sails, the caisson at the end of the dry dock was warped one side and the Columbia was taken in tow for her moorings Inside of Sandy Hook. The American cup defender left the navy yard shortly after 3 o'clock and on the trip down the East river and in fact all the way down to the Hook she received a continuous ovation from steam and sailing craft, whose salutes were acknowledged by the dipping of her flags. At Just 5 o'clock the craft lay all taut at her moorings on the big can buoy in the Horseshoe and a fresh northeast wind swung her around so that her bow pointed right by the end of the Hook. The tender St. Michael's came down shortly after and anchored near the Columbia. Mr. C. Oliver Iselin. managing owner of the Columbia, said that he was perfectly satisfied with his boat. He said he knew he had a very speedy boat in all kinds of weather and that he was confident she would render a good account of herself In the ccming races. Sir Thomas Lipton, owner of the Shamrock, was present while the Columbia was being measured. He said that without any

question the Columbia was a fast boat, and he admired her very much, but he was also of the opinion that hi boat was fast, and that all which remained to settle the question of which boat was the faster was the coming series of races. Among those who watched the operation cf taking the measurements were: Rear Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, Sir Rear Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, Sir Henry Burdett and Chevalier Martlno. Lord Charles Beresford looked the Columbia over with a critical eye and said. In comparing the cup defender with the cup challenger, that the American boat wan much more symmetrical and graceful In appearance. He believed, however, that this was due to the white paint with which her top sides are covered and went on to say that, in his opinion, the green paint on the Shamrock made her look bulkier than she really was and that if she was painted white she would look fully as graceful as the Columbia. Chevalier Martlno said that according to his estimation the Columbia was the better boat of the two from an artistic standpoint, but did not think he would change his prediction that the English boat was the faster of the two. Sir Thomas Lipton was Introduced to Lieutenant Tobln, the inventor of the metal known as "Tobln bronze," with which the Columbia is plated. They mutually complimented each other on the looks of the bronzo on each boat. Lieutenant Tobln stated to the Associated Press reporter that he presumed the bronze on the Shamrock was composed of practically the same material as used In his invention or else the metal workers would not have been able to shape the metal for the frame. Captain Hank Haff was also at the navy yard. He said he expected to see the Columbia win. When asked about the story that he had discovered the hull of the Shamrock to be out of "plumb, he said he was still willing to back up his statement. Little Betting; on the Race. NEW YORK, Oct. 2. There was very little betting on the yacht races to-night around the hotels. In fact the element which usually has money ready for the big yacht races was of opinion that the betting Interest this year is below the average. It is thought, however, that It will pick up after to-morrow's race, when the men with money to put up can get "a line on the boats." At present they are rather unknown quantities, so far as the sporting class of men is concerned. The little money in sight to-night was all Columbia money. Hardly could a man be found to champion the visitor. It was said that a few bets were placed this afternoon on the Stock Exchange, but the names of the bettors and tho amounts wagered could not be learned to-night. At tho Calumet Club, the Knickerbocker and the New York Yacht Clubs there waj some slight betting in small amounts with visiting Englishmen. The odds generally quoted were $o0 to 1300 on Columbia.

(reat Interest in London. LONDON, Oct. 3. In anticipation of today's race between the Columbia and Shamrock the Evening News has erected an immense canvas facing the Thames embankment, upon which there will be flashed every ten minutes pictures of the course of the race. The Daily Mail will announce the result by colored signals thrown by a search light from the tower of the Harmsworth building. These signals will be visible at a great distance. CONTESTS FOR THE CUP. Brief nevlerr of the Various Races for the Coveted Prise. The story of the America's cup goes back to the year 185L The British people were holding a world's fair in London that year, and when the invitations to participate were received in this country, it occurred to a number of New York gentlemen who were interested in ships, that an able Yankee schooner, built chiefly for speed, would make an exhibit that would open the eyes of our cousins over the sea a wee bit wider than anything likely to appear at the fair. The men among whom this idea wa discussed were Messrs. J. C. Stevens, Edwin A. Stevens, Hamilton Wilkes, J. Beekman Flnlay and George L. Schuyler. They were all members of the New York Yacht Club, then a young as well as ambitious organization of sallormen. Accordingly, they went to George Steers, who. with his brother James R., was building ships In Williamsburg, and ordered a schooner that should be able to outsail anything with two masts. So Steers went to work. He had already made a name by building pilot boats able to weather anything on the Atlantic coast, and he reckoned that he could do better with the new order than he had yet done. How thLs vessel was named the America, how ehe crossed the ocean to France and then appeared at the chief yachting harbor of England Cowes need not be told here. It was a sporting outfit on board, and they were looking for races for cups, but unfortunately, when approaching the harbor they met the cutter Laverock, a British crack, and could not resist the temptation to show her what she could do. In fact, their showing was so remarkable that the entire yacht squadron was frightened like a flock of doves when a falcon swoops down among them. The Yankees wanted to race for lO.CW guineas a side they only got a race with 'iltania for 100 a side. Nevertheless, although "scared stiff" by the stranger from the west, the British yachtsmen of Cowes were of the Viking blood. For an unrecorded number of years the Royal Yacht Squadron had given a cup each year, weighing 100 ounces, for which all the world was invited to compete, without any restrictions on the size of the yacht or the time allowance. Falling to get any better chance to show her speed, the owners entered the America for this cup. It was on Aug. 22. The race was made from their anchors, with all sails down. The preparatory gun was fired at 9:55, and at 10 a second gun set the capstan pawls a-cllnklng. It was a race around the island of Cowes, an inland water course, where the local pilots had every advantage, but America won in a - fashion ever since famous among yachtsmen. Having brought this silver cup to America, the owners kept it as joint property until July 8, 1S57. when it was given to the New York Yacht Club as a perpetual challenge cup, "and while men race sailing ships for sport and the good fame of the donors shall not be allowed to pass from memory." However, it was a long time before any yacht came hunting the trophy. In 1S6S James Ashbury. owner of the schooner yacht Cambria and a member of the Ryat Thames Yacht Club, began a correspondence that ended In a race or Aug. 8. 1810. As America had won the cup in competition with the entire Cowes fleet. Camb.-ia had to compete for it against the entire New York Yacht Club squadron. The cup had been won over an inland course, and this race was sailed over the club's regular course from Owl's Head. Just above Fort Hamilton, out around the Sandy Hook lightship and back. In all fourteen yacht9 made the race, the America among them, and nine beat her. Cambria lost her foretopmast on the way out. when off the point of the Hook, but she was already hopelessly behind. The centerboard schooner Magic led at the finish, and she was Xm. 13s. corrected time, the yacht club having agreed that certain time allowances should be made for small-sized ships. Mr. Ashbury at once went home and ordered a schooner expressly to win the cup. She was named the Livonia. In challenging Mr. Ashbury wanted to have twelve races, each In behalf of a separate yacht club, any one race to give him the cup if he won th race. The New York Yacht Club offered him seven races, each with a single boat Instead of the fleet, and a majority of the races to decide the fate of the cup. To this Mr. Ashbury eventually agreed, and the first races, boat p.ralnst boat, were sailed for the cup: but it must be said that wc changed our boat during the scries. The first race was sailed on Oct. 16, 1S71, and the Columbia, a crack schooner, was ramed to meet the challenger. The race was started at 10:t0 o'clock, and Columbia finished at 4h. 57m. 42c. Her corrected time was th. 19m. 41s.. ami Livonia's 6h. 46m. 45c. The next race was sailed Oct. 18, and in a ma'hing good breeze Columbia covered the route first, her corrected time being Sh. 7m. 41s.. and Livonia's 3h. lm. 15s. In the third race, Oct. 19. Columbia went to pieces and lost. First her flying Jib stay broke. Next she lost her steering gear. After that was repaired the malntopmast staysail sheet broke. The official time as corrected was: Livonia. 4h. 2m. 25s.; Columbia. 4h. 17m. 25s. For the next race the racing committee named Sappho, and on Oct. 21 an oUtslde eours (the flrt for the cup), twenty miles to winward and tacit from Candy IIoolx

lightship, was sailed with this result: Sappho (corrected time), 5h. 33m. 21s.; Livonia, fch. 3m. 45a. The final race was also with Sappho. It was blowing so that Livonia housed her foretopmast anl carried a working topsail aft. Sappho carried both working topsails, and her corrected time was 4h. 46m. 173., that of Livonia being 5h. 11m. 44s. M. Ashbury claimed the second race on the ground that Columbia had turned the stake-boat contrary to the usual way. As no instructions had been issued to the racers In this matter, the committee refused to entertain the protest. In 1S7S we held the centennial exposition at Philadelphia, and our Canada neighbors thought to help us celebrate it by making a race for the cup. The challenge came from Charles Gifford, of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club, and his ship was the schooner Countess of Dufferin. She had a trial race off Newport for the Brentoi.'s Cup and lost It. but her owner thought she lest for lack of balloon saila of the requisite size, and so entered the series for the cup with better canvas and renewed confidence. Two races out of three were to decide. The schooner Madeline was1 named to sail all three, and on Aug. 11 ehe won, hv corrected time being 5h. 23m. 54s.. that of the Countess of Dufferin 3h. 34m. 53s. Next day Madeline won by 27m. and 4s., the corrected time being 7h. ISm. 46s. Since then, in recent years, there have been some thrilling races for this same cup, at a cost of millions of dollars, but the coming contest will be the most remarkable of them all.

COST OF THE YACHTS. $150,000 Spent on Colombia and 125,OOO on Shamrock. New York World. An International yacht race Is the costliest sport In the world to the parties Immediately Interested. The mere cost-valuo of one of these challengers, though great, Is but a small part of the actual expense of competing In one of the great races. It has been estimated that It will cost a million to prepare the great spectacle which so many thousands are now gathering to witness. It is at first difficult to realize how such a fortune can be expended upon craft which appear to be so simply constructed. The Shamrock cost about $125,000 and the Columbia $150,000. The steel mast of the Columbia alone cost $1,000, the boom $1,300, the gaff $1,100, the bowsprit $600 a total of $4,000. The rigging cost $3,000 and the Joiner work alone $3,000. The bronze, nickel and steel used cost $13,000, the castings, bolts and screws $3,000. The entire country was searched to provide flawless pieces of timber and the best machine shops were put in competition with each other to supply metal fittings as perfect In their way as pieces of Jewelry. Several men were brought from a distance merely to do the riveting men who were artists in their specialty. The sails of these racing yachts are worth in themselves as much as an ordinary sailing yacht. The sail9 of the Columbia cost $3,000. In the case of the Shamrock the cost has been even greater, for the sails were woven to order from Egyptian and Sea Island cotton mixed with silk, and in consequence her bix expanse of canvas cost $1 a square yard. In addition to this the yachts carry a spinnaker and other light sails of pure silk which cost from $2 to $4 a yard. It is because of this great mass of canvas that-so large a crew is required. An ordinary commercial vessel three times as large as the Columbia would require less than half the crew carried on the cup defender. The expense of maintaining this crew is surprisingly high. The skipper of the Columbia Is reported to receive $2,000 a year for his services and In the event of his beating the Shamrock he will doubtless receive a present In addition. The salary of the mate is $100 a month, the second mate gets $40 a month, and the fcur quartermasters $35 each. Every man of the crew, which consists of thirty-two able-bodied sailors, receives $30 a month. The food consumed costs about $600 a month additional. Besides, each of the yachts Is accompanied by a tender, and this costs about $4,000 extra for the season. It is estimated that dockage, repairs, alterations, towage and similar expenses cost about $8,000. But in the case of the Shamrock the expenses are even greater. The Shamrock had to be specially fitted up for the voyage across the Atlantic, and many additional expenses were thus Incurred. Mr. Lipton. in order to be comfortably housed on his own premises throughout his stay In America, has brought with him his palatial yacht the Erin, which cost him $375,000. The actual racing of the Shamrock, apart from all preparations, will cost him. it is said. In the neighborhood of $35,000. but the expense of entertaining his friends and other Incidentals will considerably swell the amount.. The regatta committee of the New York Yacht Club has appropriated some $16,000 for defraying expenses on the days of the race, but undoubtedly the millionaires who are Interested In the great contest will greatly exceed this figure. CONGRESSMEN AT PLAY. Good Sport for the Tourists on the Upper Mississippi. CASS LAKE, Minn., Oct. 2. A perfect day has rewarded the National Park tourists, who did not become discouraged and re treat after their breezy experience at Leech Lake yesterday. The high wind went down about midnight and the morning dawned bright and clear. An early fishing party was made up, including Congressmen Allen, of Mississippi; Clark, of New Hampshire Graham and Gaston, of Pennsylvania; Cochran, of Missouri, and Tawney, of Mln nesota, with some other enthusiastic sportsmen. Later in the day a party composed ot Congressmen Stevens and Otjen. of Colorado; Cooper and others visited the Island In the lake and named it Cooper island, while Helen was chosen as the name fo the little lake on the island. Then the en tire party was taken on the Columbia up the Mississippi river to Wold lake, a charm Ing trip of eight or ten miles. The fishing party came in about 8 o'clock, and the start was made for home shortly after. FIGHT WITH BANDITS. Sheriff Forced to Retire After an Exchange of Shots. OURAY, Col., Oct. 2. Two masked men stopped the Sneffel stage one mile this side of the Camp Bird mills and eight miles from Ouray this afternoon. They were after the daily shipment of gold bullion from the .Camp Bird mine and unloaded the mail and baggage looking for it. "However, they overlooked the box containing $12,000 worth of gold and representing two days production of the mine. The mails were left untouched and the passengers were not molested. Sheriff Edgar was notified and with a posse overtook the robbers near Yankee Boy basin. After a brisk exchange of shots the officers retired to secure reinforcements. Several other parties are In pursuit. BIG REPUBLICAN GAINS. New England 3IunI?lpal Elections Full of Good Cheer. NEW HAVEN. Conn., Oct. 2.One hundred and sixty-two of the 168 towns in the State to-day elected officials. Returns up to midnight have been received from 133 towns of 162 voting, and the table shows Republican victories In 101 towns, and Democratic success in 32. Full returns from all towns in election In 1803 showed 92 towns to be Republican, 27 Democratic, and 43. divided. Comparing the full returns of last year with the returns received thus far from to-day's election, the Republicans have gained nine towns and the Democrats five, these gains coming from the towns classified last year as divided.

FRIENDS OF .THE BOERS

3IE3IDERS OF XEW YORK'S HOLLAND SOCIETY WAM FEACE. They Adopt a Resolution of Sympathy and Appeal to McKlnley to Vse Ilia Good Oulces. NEW YORK. Oct. 2. A special meeting of the Holland Society of New .Yoik was held to-night at Delmonico's for the purpose of discussing the Transvaal question. In a speech President Bergen said: "There is now a general quarrel between two of our friends. One is a powerful empire, the other a little republic. Men who are kin in blood and religion are about to face each other in the field of battle. What shall this society do? Shall we take eldes or be silent?" Former Judge Van Hoesen then read resolutions expressing sympathy with the Transvaal, and calling on the United States government to take some action in the matter A debate followed. Robert B. Roosevelt said: "It is quite certain that our government will take no action in any way. In my opinion it ought not. At present, too, we are under certain obligations to the British government." "How's that? How so? What do you mean?" and several similar Interruptions came from all over the room. "These two nation,? he continued, "united can, police the world." Mr. Van Wyck was sitting next to Mr. Roosevelt and he started up with a demand for "facts" end facts only. "Well," said Mr. Roosevelt, "last year every nation In Europe but one was unfriendly to us and I think it only fair to deduce that that one was frtendlj'." Mr. Roosevelt proposed an amendment to the resolution expressing hope that a peace might be maintained honorably to both countries. Former Justice Augustus Van Wyck spoke in favor of the passing of strong resolutions. Several amendments had been suggested to the proposed resolutions, but all included some reference to the ancestry of members of the society. Ex-Judge Van Wyck objected to this feature, and said that, as far as he could see, the only point In which the various resolutions agreed was in a bold announcement to the world that they were descended from burghers who came here prior to 1675. "Cowards never won liberty nor preserved it." declared ex-Judge Van Wyck. "I have never been able, for my part, to understand what the grievances of tho English were In the Transvaal anyhow, except, perhaps, that they wanted the gold mines. If the richest gold mines in the world had not been discovered there I don't imagine that England would be anxious to get the country." Ex-Judge Van Wyck did not believe in being too timid in calling upon our government to do the proper and humane thing and he favored resolutions calling on the President to exercise hla friendly offices to prevent war. - . , The various conciliatory amendments proposed were voted down and finally, by a standing vote of 60 to 48, the original resolutions offered by Judge Van Hoesen were passed. The principal resolution follows: "Resolved, That the Holland Society of New York, composed exclusively of descendants of Dutch burghers resident in the colony of New Netherland before 1765. sympathizing with the Boers of the South African republic in their struggle for the maintenance of their 'independence and'autonomy. earnestly appeal to the government of the United States to use its good offices with the government of Great Britain for the preservation of peace between England and the Transvaal and for the settlement of the points in dispute between these two nations in a manner that will save to the South African republic the rights guaranteed to it by the convention of 18S4." It was decided that the society shall take part in a public meeting to be held in Cooper Union on Oct. 9. Bo trke Cockran and other prominent orators vrlll speak at this meeting. LOOTERS ARRESTED. , More of the Scotsman's Creir In Custody and Booty Recovered. MONTREAL, Oct. 2.

Eight Seamen Injured. ST. JOHNS. N. F., Oct. 2. The British steamer Prodlano, Captain Scroggle, twelve days from Baltimore, for Leith, with a general cargo, went ashore, last night, at Peters river, St. Mary's bay, during a dense fog, and is a total wreck. The ship struck in an inlet called Wild Cove, striking the rocks bew on. Eight men were injured, one seaman having his leg broken and two others being seriously hurt. The fore part of the ship's bottom was torn out by the rocks but the cargo on her upper decks, which is above water, will probably be saved. The crew, after two boats had been smashed In an endeavor to launch them, stuck by the wreck until daylight, when they were taken off by fishermen. Tko injured men were hoisted up over the cliffs in a hammock. All escaped. Movements of Steamers. NEW YORK. Oct. 2. Arrived: Karamania, from Naples: Numldian. from Glasgow; Amsterdam, from Rotterdam.

This will be done three times and at the third time the resignation is to be accepted, as showing that the Emperor 13 really anxious to resign. The troops of Prince Ching and Jung Lu will be under arms on the occasion of the dethronement in case something untoward should happen. Duke Tsai Lan is a close friend of Prince Ching and there are doubts whether the Jung Lu party will be satisfied at this further strengthening of the Ching faction by the appointment of thd new Emperor.

There was quite a delay before the men entered the ring, Qulgley Insisting that the purse be split because of the size of tho house. The "Spike" would not agree to this, and, as usual, had his way. In the opening round Qulgley made a fair showing, getting right and left swings to "Spike's" head. He rushed repeatedly, but "Spike" soon had him figured out and after the third round had all the better of the argument. He Jabbed his left frequently to the Phlladelphlan's wind and brought down his guard. They fought tamely in the fifth, but in the sixth "Spike" forced Qulgley to the ropes and with a right swing on the jaw sent him reeling. Once getting the advantage, "Spike" never let up, but with heavy swings drove Qulgley to the floo:twice. Each time he got to his feet, but he was so far gone that his seconds, realizing that he had no show, threw up the sponge after two minutes and fifty-four seconds of fighting in the sixth rouna.

If Smith's wrist was really brokenyhe did good work later, for In the third round he Moored McClelland twice with hard punches cn the Jaw. The second time down Jack took the full time limit before getting to his feet. The contest was about an even thing up to the third round, which was decidedly Smith's.

The result every way was a disappointment to the crowd. Got a Decision on Points. CLINTON, la., Oct. 2.

BEARDED WOMEN. Designing ment through alluring and cunningly worded advertisements, constantly endeavor to work upon the feelings of sick and ailing women by inviting them "to write to a woman (!l and secure a woman's sympathy." It is well to remember that the best sympathy is to be bad at home and not from strangers, perhaps hundreds of miles distant The c bject of the sick is to gti well, and however precious sympathy may be, it never yet cured a seriously afflicted woman. While the sympathy of your milliner or dressmaker might be appreciated and bo just as beneficial, if not more so, than sympathy from a stranger, yet it can not effect your cure if you are an ailing woman. It is loudly proclaimed through the press that "a woman can best understand a woman's ailments," and on this ground sick women are invited to 44 write to a woman and get the benefit of a woman's advice. The sort of "understanding of her ailments' wanted by a sick woman is a trained medical understanding. If a woman has this trained medical knowledge she understands woman's ailments not as a zt cman, but as physician. If she is not a doctor she cannot understand the ailments at all, and cannot treat them successfully, because she lacks the necessary training:. As far as known, there is no regularly qualified woman physician connected with any proprietary medicine especially designed for women no one. therefore qualified by learning and experience, to advise on question of disease and its cure. It is certain tlat there is no one, man or woman, connected with any 44 put-up" medicine for women, excepting only Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, . who, like Dr. Pierce, is a regular graduated and qualified physician, and who has, like-him, devoted more than thirty years to the special study and treatment of diseases of women. For more than thirty years Dr. R. V. Pierce, a regularly graduated doctor, has been chief consulting physician of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo. N. Y. On bis staff arc nearly a score of regularly graduated," experienced, skilled physicians, each of whom is a specialist in his chosen class of diseases. Every letter addressed to Dr. Pierce as above, has prompt, conscientious attention, is regarded as sacredly confidential and is answered in a plain envelope so your private affairs are kept safe from prying eyes.
