A VACANT CHAIR.

Tha lady whose portrait heads this article is Mrs. Mary F. Covell, of Scotland, Bon Homme Co., S. Dak. She writes to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Chief Consulting Physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., as follows: “ I was sick two years with ‘ falling of the womb ’ and leucorrhcea previous to taking your medicines. I took six bottles of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, and was entirely cured of both in six months; it is four years this month, since I was entirely well of both those diseases and have never had any signs of their appearance since and I am satisfied the ‘ Favorite Prescription’saved mv life, for I could hardly walk around when I commenced taking that medicine and 1 think it is a God’s blessing to me that I took it. I was pronounced incurable by the best doctors here in the West. I gave up all hopes and made up my mind that I was to be taken away from my husband and baby of two years old. I was sick all of the time —could not eat anything at aIL In one week, after beginning the use of the ‘ Favorite Proscription’ my stomach was so much better that I could eat anything : I could see that I was gaining all over, and my husband then went and got mo six bottles ; I took three of them and my stomach did not bother me any more. We sent to you and got the People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser, and found mv case described just as I was: wo did what the book told us, in every way ; in one month’s time I could see I was much better than I had been ; we still kept on just as the book told us, and in three months I stopped taking medicine, and to-day, I can proudly say I am a well women, yes, am well, strong and healthy. When I began to take your medicine my face was poor and eyes looked dead. I could not enjoy myself anywhere,.[ was tired and sick all the time. I could hardly do my house-work, but now I do that and tend a big garden, help my husband and tako in sewing.” The following will prove interesting to feeble women generally, and especially so to those about to become mothers. Mrs. Dora

A. Guthrie, of Oakley, Overton Co., Tenn., wjites : “ I never can thank you enough for what your treatment has done for me ; I am stronger now than I have been for six years. When I began your treatment I was not able to do anything. I could not stand on my feet long enough to wash my dishes without suffering almost death ; now I do all my housework, washing, cooking, sewing and everything for my family of eight. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the best medicine to take before confinement that can be found ; or at least it proved so with me. I never suffered so little with any of my children as I did with my last and she is the healthiest we have. I recommend your medicines to all of my neighbors and especially ‘Favorite Prescription’ to all women who are suffering. Have induced several to try it, and it has proved good for them.” Yours truly, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is a positive cure for the most complicated and obstinate leucorrhea, excessive flowing, painful menstruation, unnatural suppressions and irregularities, prolapsus, or falling of the womb, weak back, “female weakness, anteversion, retroversion, bearing-down sensations, chronic congestion, inflammation and ulceration of the womb, inflammation, pain and tenderness of the ovaries, accompanied with “internal heat.” Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is a scientific medicine, carefully compounded by an experienced and skillful physician, and adapted to woman’s delicate organization. It is purely vegetable in its composition and perfectly harmless in its effects in any condition of the system. For morning sickness or nausea, due to pregnancy, weak stomach, indigestion, dyspepsia ana kindred symptoms, its use will prove very beneficial. Dr. Pierce’s Book, “ Woman and Her Diseases,” (168 pages, illustrated), giving successful means of home treatment, can be had (sealed in plain envelope ) by enclosing 10 cts., in ono cent stamps, to pay postage, to the Doctor, at his address, as given at tha beginning of this article.

Washington, March 28. Benator Colquitt, of Georgia, who was stricken with paralysis for the second time about a week ago, died at his residence here at 7:10 a. m. Monday.

Mrs. Colquitt and the children, three unmarried daughters and a married daughter, Mrs. Marshall, of Chi-

cago, were around the bedside when the end Yjame. There were also in attendance his nephew, Mr. Bunn, and his private secretary. Unconsciousness 6et in some hours before death and the senators end was apparently painless. The remains will be taken to Macon, Ga., for interment and will be accompanied by committees of the two houses of congress and the family of the deceased and that of his colleague, Senator Gordon. [Senator Alfred Holt Colquitt, of Atlanta, was born In Walton county, Ga., the son of the Rev. Walter T. Colquitt, April 20, 1824.

He was a member of the Georgia legislature In 1859, and was elected to the house of representatives In the XXXIIId congress. He was a member of the secession convention of the state of Georgia and later entered .the confederate service as captain and was soon promoted to be colonel of the Sixth Georgia Infantry.

His term of service would have expired March 3, 1895. Senator Colquitt was stricken with paralysis In July, 1892, and since that time had been unable to walk without assistance. He had been able, however, to continue In a large degree his attendance on his senate duties. He had been wheeled in and out of the senate chamber In an Invalid chair; had attended the meetings of committees of which he was a member, but bad not made a speech or been able to take any active part In debate on the senate floor. He was even wheeled in;o the chamber several times to help keep a quorum during the nights when the senate sat in continuous session. His seat In the senate was the one on the democratic side nearest the vice president's 'chair, where he could easily secure recognition without rising. A few weeks ago his strength had so greatly imcreased that he was able to dispense with the invalid chair and walk into the senate on the arm of a doorkeeper. He had announced to the state legislature that he would be a candidate for reelection for a third term. Senator Colquitt leaves a wifo, one son, Walter T. Colquitt, and four daughters.
