Modern Women.

It Is a sad commentary upon our boasted civilization that the women of our times have degenerated in health and physique until they are literally a race of invalids—pale, nervous, feeble and back-aehy, with only here and there a few noble exceptions in the persons of the robu-t, buxom ladies characteristic of the’sex in days gone by. By a very large experience, covering a period of years, and embracing the treatment of many thousands of eases of those ailments peculiar to Women, Dr. Pierce, of the World’s Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y., has perfected, by the combination of certain vegetable extracts, a natural specific, which he does not extol as a cure-all, but one Which admirably fulfills a singleness of purpose, being a<most positive and reliable remedy for those weaknesses and complaints that afflict the women of the present days This natural specific compound is called Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. The following are among those diseases in which this wonderful medicine has worked cures as if by magic and with a certainty never before attained by any medicines: Weak back, nervous and general debility, failing and other displacements of internal organs resulting from debility and lack of strength in natural supports, internal fever, congestion, inflammation and ulceration and very many other chronic diseases incident to women not proper to mention here, in which, as well as in the cases that have been enumerated, the Favorite Prescription effects cures—the marvel of the world. It will not do harm in any state or condition of the system, and by adopting its use the invalid lady may avoid that severest of ordeals—the consulting of a family physician. Favorite Prescription is sold by dealers in medicines generally^ Opinions op 'The Press— The Texas New Yorker says: “An old Scotch physician once said to one of his patients: ‘ Keep your feet warm, your head cool, and your bowels open, an’ there’s little “ ilse” can harm ve.’ This aphorism is full pf wisdom, and expresses exactly what Dr. Walker’s California Vinegar Bitters will do for you. We speak of what we know from nearly two years’ practical experience in the use of thi9 indispensable family medicine. Its office is to attack a lazy, torpid liver and impart new life to this vital organ—a proper flow of bjle and a prompt discharge of effete matter. A good .digestion and appetite are restored to the sufferer. Pure blood, the ‘ liffe of the flesh,’ is secured, aDd the patient soon feels himself a walking electrical battery. Good health is more precious than fine gold — Vinegar Bitters restores it, and therefore, above price.

W* were pleased to see, not long since, in ope of our exchanges, some pretty severe remarks addressed to several persons w,ho, during an interesting 1 lecture by Rev. Jho. 8. C. Abbott, kept a continuous coughing, which prevented many from hearing. People who cannot refrain from coughing had better stay away from such places, or else take a bottle of Johnson ’* Anodyne Liniment with them. Th* importance of giving Sheridan's Cavalry Condition Powders to horses that have been out in the rain, stood in cold wind, or drank too much cold water cannot be overestimated; no man should, be Without them who owns a good horse. Wii.hoft’s Fevee and Agee Tonic. —This medicine is used by construction companies for the benefit of their employes, when engaged in malarial districts. The highest testimonials have been given by contractors and by the Presidents of some of the leading railroads in the South and West.
