CHATTER XIX
CAPTURED.
An old man stood drinking at the Bil?ei
Mine bar. Wo have aeon him before—in
Pickle*' Pnmdiee ft woek earlier. During
the week, under various disguises, the out
law lies been working the city.
"Your treat, eh? Wal, 1 don't care ef I
da”
The sound of n voice at hi* elbow caused
Honlip to start and turn to looh into a fact
that wa* not now to him it was the face
of Jerry Swayne!
“Yaas, it t* my treat," uttered the seem
ing old man. At the sarao moment his
hand fell to a concealed weapon No won
der the outlaw was pertatbed, since he had
shot and killed thi* man once, and now he
had risen to confront him like an avenging
Nemesis.
Burdon Brono believed that he had not
recognised, and so bis feelings be
ciffiie quickly calm. Ho ordered the liquor
on once more, and together tho two drunk.
"That ar k what I call tip-top blear-eyed
remorse, ut ered Honlip, smacking his lips.
"It’s the wust liquor I over tasted," re
torted .lorry Swaytie, who wore a bondage
about his temples under h* hut, the edge
tinged with blood, just visible.
"Eh, y>u mean ”
But Honlip did not get the complete sen
tence before the gamblers and toughs of
that and n.
A hand went up and fastened itself in
his beard. A quick, sharp jerk, and the
hirsute appendage was in the hand of Jerry
Swayne, revealing, in the place of an old
countenance, the smoothly shaved visage
of the outlaw, Burden Brono.
This by-play had been witnessed by
many, and some there were who recogin/.ed
the countenance of the now familiar out
law from the numeroA descriptions that
had been circuited throughout Silversand.
One of those who happened to stand
nearest t > Burden Brono when he was un
masked was Bragg Clamper, the Sheriff.
This individual had come in for a drink
and to cast his eagle eye over the faces of
those os>embled. He was anxious to win
the reward offered for the arrest of Burden
Brono, an l had been looking most indus
triously for that individual during the past
week.
And now the game had been thrust, ai
it were, into his hand, through no effort of
his own.
“Burden Brono, the outlaw!” yelled Jer
ry Swayne, at the same time thrusting for
ward a cocked revolver.
But with all his cutoness Jerry Swayne
was not quick enough to avoid the bunch
of bones th it Burden Brono hurled from
his shoulder, and with that outcry on his
lips the innkeeper's son went to the floor
like a log.
Yells and cries now filled the room.
As Brono turned to fleo, the butt end of
a revolver came down upon his head, send
ing ten thousand stars to (lance before his
eye*. It was Bragg Clamper who wielded
the weapon, and not only once but twice,
thrice did he strike Brono over the head
with all the strength that he could throw
inte Ins good right arm. It had the effeot
desired.
The outlaw sank senseless to the floor,
and by the time Jerry Swayne regained his
feet the Sheriff had the shackles on the
limbs and wrists of Burden Brono.
“You've got the devil fast; I’m glad of
it, for a more merciiess scoundrel doesn't
live," breathed Jerry through his thick lips.
Scowling faces gathered übout the pris
oner and his oaptor, and more than one bit
of steel gleamed in the light.
“Stand back and give the fellow air,”
commanded Bragg Clamper, as he rose to
his feet and waved the crowd back. "He
will come to in a minute.”
“You have killed him.”
“It’s murder.”
At this moment Eagle Gray and hit
young friend Wager, alarmed by the noise,
appeared upon the scene and pushed to the
side of the fallen outlaw.
“Dead?”
“No, only stunned.” said the Sheriff.
“Lend a hand, Mr. Wager, and we’ll get
the fellow outside. Stand back; stand
back all of you,” the last words in a loud
voice.
Like all crowds they hugged the closer
after that, but Eagle Gray soon cleared a
road by displaying a cocked revolver in
either hand, and Wager, with the Sheriff,
lifted and bore the captured outlaw to the
walk without. Here a dray was summoned,
and the prisoner laid upon it
“To the castle’ at once," ordered Bragg
Clamper.
The dray rolled away, and with the Sheriff
went Wallis Wager and the detective.
During the ride they learned how the
capture had been made, Mr. Clamper tak
ing the principal share of credit to himself,
“It loquired presence of mind and light
ning movement,” continued Clamper, “and
I used both satisfactorily."
“It seems so.” admitted Wager.
Eagle Gray was silent during the journey
to the jail, lie had seen the face of Jerry
Swayne with the crowd at the Silver Mine,
and he wondered what he could be doing
in Silversand, if his cousin had been found
and returned to her home. The detective
began to suspect that all was not as well us
he had surmised. Iva might be in a dan
gerous situation: she might be dead. In
Bpito of himself Eagle Gray bad become
deeply interested in the young girl w ho had
saved his life when Burden Brono had so
cunningly planned his destruction.
Burden Brono had not fully recovered
when the jail, a substantial wood structure,
was reached, and so Wager and his detective
friend did not utt rapt to interview him at
that time. They saw him locked in an iron
cell, aid with eiated feelings returned to
the hotel.
As they entered, a pair of sullen red eyes
glared savaeelv at them from beneath the
rim of a slouched hat—the eyes of Jerry
Swavue. ”
“I’ll get even with them chaps,” muttered
the evil young rascal. "I think that Brono
ch ip will soon be disposed of; but I must
see him, and see to it that he makes no
confession of the past to any one but me.
Dad was alius mighty careful not to tell me
the true story of Iva. which I think this
Brono knows something about. To-mor
row will be time enough to visit the jail."
Alter that the young man made it a point
to watch and listen when he oould to the
conversation of Eagle Gray and his com
panion.
Jt did not please Jerry to note that these
men w ro on such friendly terms. He had
in his hi ait n plan, however, that would
Boon him dor the two as widely e; art as the
poles, he believed.
Oil the fo lowing day, through the influ
( ' .f Bragg C amper, who real /.ed tlmt
it was through Jerry Swayne that he se
■ the out! iw, the young man from Bog
Tavern wok admitted to the cell of Burden
Brono.
As limy bo supposed, th - outlaw was not
in a p <• i-unt mood; with his head swelled
wnd so-e from its recent beating. Jerry re
in tided him of the fact that it was to the
1 avern-keeper's son that he owed his cap
ture.
“How are you feeling this morning. Bur
den? que iel Jerrv, as the cell-door
clang, and to uponhis stalwart person.
“Lovely!" exclaimed the outlaw, rattling
his chairs, for he was secured to the floor,
and hundeu s manacled his wrists.

fo 1 sole and c oss over that little uup eis
nntness of last night. My head ain’t got
over your tender taps. Burden. I hope it
won’t be loug before we can cry quits.”
'I he outlaw was silent.
He chafed in bonds, and his defective
left eye showed its white with savage per
tinacity. This was a sign that Brono was
> mad beneath the surface, no matter what
ktho out aid ■ might reveal.
A come for the purpose of asking you
bi f* w questions, Brono.

fortune!”
! ve o e of tho tenderest heart-
,iu the world. Areu't you ashamed of try

“1 ain sorry I didn’t,” grated Burden.

"Plsfsd possum Your bullsl oulp

since you left tbo mountain*. Would you
like to hear about it? I’ll tell you some

“Not a word."
"You wont? Then hoar me, scoundrel!

and you will hang or be torn limb from

He then turned ou hi* heel as it to de
; part.
CHAPTER XX
OOXSULTINO THE PRISON LU.
Jerry Swayne did not depart, however,
And he had no thought of doing so. Turn
ing once around, he faced the prisoner
with:
"I want the truth from you, Burden
Brono, or I swear to you that I’ll send you
to death before noon do yon mind?"
“How can yon do that?”
Easy enough. There's a bad feeling
among the citizens of Silversand to’ards the
horse thie\6* and robbers, who've lately
made thing* hum on the trail between this
place and Denver City. It wouldn’t take a
heap of persuadin' to set the whole town
igiiya the} l hung j u like a dog, llm
murder of old Fredon's still fresh ’’
"I had no hand iu that,” interrupted the
chained outlaw.
“No? Well. I'm not so sure of that,"
grunted Jerrv, with n queer cipressiou of
the eyes. it lay* betwixt you'u another
fol'er that I would liko to soo dance on
nothin', but let that drop. Twouldn't take
much to make the crowd think you did
that murder, and ”
“And, so you would willingly lend them to
murder me when I am innooent? I must
nay you are the lowest, most heartless
scoundrel I ever set eyes on,’’ uttered Bur
den Brono, in a voice evincing just a little
of the concentrated wrath that was boiling
within.”
“Well, you didn’t hesitate to shoot me
like a dog when vou imagined 1 stood in
your path, Burdeu Brono. It's dog eat
ilog, aud this dog's on top just at the pres
ent time.” sneered the innkeeper's son
surlily. “I’m perfectly willing to see you
bung to a lamp-post, or to the limb of a
tree; but if you serve me, as you easily can,
I will see that you are free before the dawn
of another day."
“Big wi.-rds from a weak stomach," sneer
ed Burden Brono.
“As you please.”
There was an angry flame in the young
fellow’s eye when he turned to go out.
The outlaw refused to call him back, for he
held no love for the *ou of Lucius Swayne,
aud he did not credit him with the power
he professed to have.
“1 wouldn’t give information free for any
man's benefit," mutter* and Burdeu Brono, as
the door clanged to after his visitor.
Some time later, the captive outlaw had
two other visitors, Eagle Gray and Wallace
Wager.
“Confound you,” ejaculated Burden
Brono, the moment his eyes rested on the
detective. "It seem* my elegant trap did
not work after all. How in the name of
goodness did you escape, Eagle Gray'?”
‘‘Easy enough. I will explain it to you
at another time.” returned the detective,
with a emile. “We’re here seeking infor
mation that you can give if you choose."
“Undoubtedly. When a man’s down,
the whole neighborhood is ready to give
him a kick. I suppose you want me to
confess that I am guilty of all the evil that
has been committed from New York to the
Rockies, since 1 was old enough to lift a
revolver or wield a knife. Heave ahead,
gentlemen; 1 will try and withstand the
tire. ”
“Your sarcasm is lost ou me," said Wal
lis Wager at this moment. “I have some
thing heie and am exceedingly anxious to
find the mate. ”
The young man suddenly held a single
cuff-button before the eyes of the prisoner,
whose hands had been set free since we
saw him before, but who was chained to
the wall by one ankle.
“Let me look at it?”
Burden Brono held out his baud.
“It doesn't matter,” and Wager drew it
a way. “You can tell me if you have the
mate to it?”
“You aie afraid fc> trust me with a bit of
brass jewelry. I mistrust that you have
the stingy traits of your uncle, young man, ”
“Ha! then you ”
“Know you, Robert Hanger. Your face
would give you away, I reckon, anywhere.
You’ve got your uncle’s eyes and hair to
perfection. I’m not blind if I be a fool,"
retorted Burden Brono. grimly.
“I will not admit that you have guessed
the truth. But here, take the button and
tell me where you lost it,” said the young
man.
Brono took the jewel and turned it over
carefully in his hand.
“I never did lo*e it."
“Isn’t it youas?"
“No. I never saw it before to-day. ”
Instantly Eagle Gray stepped to the
front and said, in a stern vo ce:
“You utter a falsehood, Burden Brono.
You stole that cuff-button and its mate
from me in Yonkers a year ago.”
The keen eyes of the detective pene
trated like steel darts. Burden Brono failed
to flinch, however.
“Go West, young man!" sneered the out
law. “Now that I am safely chimed you
can come here and insult me. As if I
would steal such a paltry gem as that. Bah!”
Then the prisoner tluug the ruff-button
to the floor and ground it beneath his heel
before Wallis Wager could prevent the fell
work.
“You scoundrel!" ejaculated Wager, at
he bent and gathered the crushed objoct
from the floor. “You have ruined this#
jut it will stand as a witness against yo..
a hen you least expect it. There will be no
leed to take him to New York, Bagle; w*
will lung him here for the cruel murder of
Samuel Fredon."
J he young man spoke with considerable
feeling
The cool demeanor of Burden Brono did
not change.
“You will hang an innocent man if you
do that,” he said, quickly.
* Dare you deny that you were at Bog
Tavern on the night of August 2‘Jth, and
there plunged a knife into the heart of my
0 and friend Fredon?” cried Wallis Wager,
ivgar'-.ling the prisoner memwiugly.
“Don t scowl at me, young man. I was
not wi.hin a score of miles of Bog Tavern
311 the night in question. I shall be üble
to prove that easily enough. I don’t think,
however, that you fellows will ever be
foo’ish enough to bring me to trial.”
“What do you mean by that?" demanded
Engle Gray.
“I mean that 1 was not fool enough to
run my head into a trap when I came to
Silvcrsand. Vo i dare not bring me te
trial, asserted Burden Brono, with a cool
confidence that was surprising.
"Wo will show you."
“If we cannot convict you of the crime
it Bog Tavern, then I shall obtain a requi
sition on the Governor and take you to New
York," said the detective.
“Better go slow.
“Threats are idle at this time,” said Wal
tis Wager. “Wo understand our duty, and
mean to perform it. ”
“I am glad that you ore so virtuous,”
sneered the outlaw. “I believe, however,
that you will not endanger the success of
the million that brings you to the silver
country, even to punish me. ”
“What do you mean/’’
“1 mean that you will not blast all hope
of finding the heiress to Grnnt Thornrift’s
millions simply to punish a good-looking
fellow like me," said Brono, with a low,
meaning laugh.
Wallis Wager caught at the man’s words
with avidity.
“Do you know where she is, Brono? The
tavern girl and Thornrift’s lost heiress are
identical, but ’’
“How do you know so much?" interjected
the outlaw, sharply.
“From Foster Wondel, who made the dis
covery on thit fatal night, the 29th of
August, and communicated his discovery
to me. He recognized Swayne and his
guilty wife, and but for the assassin's knife
the guilty twain would now be behind
prison bars. ”
“Foster Wondel? Then the name of
Fredon was assumed for the occasion?”
“It was.
Egad! I thought so.”
“But of this girl. Iva, or Edua. what do
you know of her?" questioned the eager
young man.
“I know where she is at the present mo
moat. ”
“You do?"
“1 have said it."
"At Bog Tavern, perhaps?"
"Not much I run across the girl in the
hills and made sure of her. Wiih un* it is
entirely a matter of money. I recognized
the gin fife# is II D erf Ml picture of b*T
mother aud ho mads sure of her by seizing
snd taking her to a secret spot iu the
mountain*, where she is well guarded and
cannot escape."

SETTLING A QUARREL.
Bro. Gardner Talks to the Idme-Kllfc
Club.
For some weeks past Shinbone Small
man and Hadluck Johnson have engag
ed in an enmity which bade fair to end
in bloodshed. It came about through
a dispute on the Biblical question. Shin
bone said that he didn’t believe any
bears came out and ate up the children
who shouted after Elisha. Hardluck
replied that any man who disputed the
statement was either a fool or an atheist,
and thus the gulf opened. Several mu
tual friends have sought to arbitrate,but
Shinbone was firm and Hardluck was
determined. They ignored each other’s
existence, and their wives and children
made faces at each other over the fence.
It had been whispered around all the
week that Brother Gardner would bring
about a reconciliation at the Saturday
night session, and every face in the hall
was turned towards him as lie arose and
said:
“How much we know nat we doan’
know ’tall an’ kin nebber find out I De
aiverage man will bet mo* money on his
ignorance dan on his true knowledge,
an’ he will fight for a lie as soon as de
troof. I see Brudders Smallman an’
Johnson back dar by the fluted column.
Boaf of ’em will please retrograde to de
front.”
The two gentlemen named indulged in
two magnificent starts of surprise, grit
ted their teeth at each other, and ad
vanced to the president’s desk in single
file.
“Shinbone,” said Brother Gardner,
when they stood before him, “do you
believe de b’ars ate up de chill’en dat
followed ’LislnG”
“No, sah.”
“Why doan’ you ?”
“Rase I doan.”
“Hardluck, do you believe de b’ars
ate de chill’en up?”
“Yes, sah.”
“Why do you believe it?”
“Kase I do.”
“I expectant dis was de case. Fools

on deir side, but simply bekase dey have

Didn't Want the Pills in Shells.

know what’s good for a swellin’ in the
ear.”
“Oh, that’s an everyday occurrence
here,” said the drug clerk, sadly, as the
girl went out. “Last week that child’s
mother came here with a prescription
for forty quinine pills, one main each.
1 put ’em up in capsules, and it isn’t a
nice job for a busy man, either. Two
days ago she came back here with the
capsules in a little bojc and wanted me
to renew the prescription.
“ ‘Don’t put the pills in these little
shells,’she said, ‘’cause it’s an awful
bother to get’em out when I want to

off five oeuts for returning the capsules,”

mitted. Among the different substances
which were tested in this manner, it was
found that the very smallest amount re
cognizable was .01 of a milligram of mer

the room sufficed to make its distinctive
character appreciable in the small volume
of air coming in contact with the nerves
of the nose, from which it was estimated
that the I,4oo,ooo,ooopartof a milligram

Heirs to a Great Inheritance.
There is a family living in the interior
of Pennsylvania who, for generations,
have been set apart from the rest of the
community. There is a popular idea that
they arc destined to good fortune. Their
neighbors talk of the unfailing luck of
the P——s; it is susiKtcted that they were
all “Mascottes:”
The women are invariably the centre of
the social circle to which they belong;
as children or old women they are sur
rounded with friends; the men arc sought
as business partners, as counsel, as physi
cians, or pastors. Whatever may be his
trade or occupation, the world always has
a place ready for one of the P s.
Vet they do not, as a race, possess ex
ceptional intellectual strength, or great
fortune. The one quality which distin
guishes them from others is a capacity for
seeing the best of every incident of life
and of making the best of that. This
gives them a fine high courage in little or
great ills, and an imperturbably sweet,
sunny temper. It was one of this family
who, upon losing both legs at the battle
of Chancellorsville, exclaimed: “What
luck that it wasn’t my arms!”
Another member of the family accom
panied one of the expeditions in search
of Sir John Franklin. When the crew
was reduced to starvation diet, “P
declared, ” says the record, “that the pem
mican was the finest flavored pemmican
he had ever known. Only his jokes and
hopefulness kept us from despair.”
The P s arc heirs to a great inheri
tance. Many other legacies come to men
from their ancestors—money, honorable
position, keen wit, refined tastes, a gen
ius for authorship, tor executive work,
for music, art, or oratory. Some of these
things no effort or labor will give to us if
we are born without them. But the res
olute persistence in looking nt the bright
side of life, the sunny, kindly temper,are
within the reach of the most morose and

A Profltable Voyage.
Tlie old-time sea captains of Boston
were a remarkable race, and many of
them were eminent for business as well as
nautical qualities. Captain I)e Wolf,
who died in Dorchester a few years since
at the age of 92, was a member of the
noted De Wolf family of Bristol, R. 1.,
and made in 1804 a very remarkable voy
age to the Northwest coast in the ship
Juno, a craft of 220 tons burden. Here,
after a profitable barter trade with the
Indians, he shipped his furs to his owners
and sold his vessel to an agent of the
Russian Government. Then in a craft of
twenty-five tons he made a perilous voy
age of 2,500 miles to the Chinese coast,
and thence overland to St. Petersburg, a
journey through ('hinaand Siberia of 5,500
miles. He was the first American that
ever passed through the latter territory,
and his history of the whole trip reads
like an exciting romance. After a three
years’ absence he arrived at home, and
was gratified to find that tlje handsome
sum of SIOO,OOO was placed to the crecit
of that wonderful voyage. —Bouton Budget.
The Staked Plain of Texas.
The staked plain of Texas —Liana Es
tacado—forms part of the Western
plateau of the State. The name is given
from the great number of bare yucca
stems seen there resembling stakes. This
plain extends from the head-waters of
the Colorado, Brazos, and Red rivers on
the cast, to the Red Pecos in New Mexico
on the west, and from the valley of the
Canadian on the north to the Pecos on
the south, its surface is gently undu
lating, but owing to lack of water there
is almost a total absence of vegetation.
The yucca is the only plant tliat grows
there, and this but scantily; there are no
trees, and in the summer the feeble crop
of grass dries up. It is said that the
traveler can track his way across the
-t iked plain by the skeletons lying there
of those who have perished of thirst in
ihe journey across. The genera! level of
the plain is from 3,000 to 4,000 feet
above the sea. lnte- Ocean.
The silver maple is a rapid growing
tree, often attaining a diameter of ten
inches in ten years. It thrives well on
sandy soils, requires but little care, and
has few insect enemies.

"He used to hung around the State Re
publican headquarters from morning
until night throughout the campaign,
and campaigns lasted in those davs
nearly five months. It was during tho
anti slavery dm h, when everybody was
at the highest pitch of excitement, I
rememlsT one day in particular, when a
mind Hu- of prominent [lolitieians were
assembled nt headquarters, among them
i Hiai i- 8 unn an I Henry Wilson.
Sumner was in the rear room, Wilson
in the front. In walked ltolicrts. He
talked in a loud voice aud disturbed the
ahola assembly. Stepping into tho
rear l-isim, he spied Sumner ill earnest
conversation with a friend. Giving him
n tremendous slap on the shoulder, ho
shouted: "D you, Sumner, how lire
you? Why don’t you lie as hearty and
genial ss rour friend A\ itson t
“The effect of this rough handling of
Sumner can readily be imagined by
those who remember or have read of the
dignified and scholarly mas. It was
not only a shock but an insult. Suin
ner turned us whit.' as a sheet, but said
nothing. He realized Hobart's condi
tion and wisely kept his peace. Roberts
was severely reprimanded aud turned
out of tho room.
“It was not long after this that Rob
erts came to want and grief. He was
actually destitute. He looked hungry
and was poorly clad. In despair he
came to me one day for work or advice.
The big tears rolled down his cheeks as
he told me how destitute and degraded
he was, and how he longed to reform.
I told him I hud ne work, and advised
him to go to Sumner.
“ ‘Go to Sumner,' lie said. ‘Oh, no,
I insulted Sumner a short time ago. I
can’t go.’
“ 'Yes, you can,’ " I said. ‘Go to him
just as you have come to me. Tell him
frankly the whole story and he will help
you. ’
“Roberts did as I advised. About 10
o'clock tho next morning ha buttoned
his shabby coat around his neck, to hide
liia flannel shirt, and made his way to
the man lie had grossly insulted but a
short time before. Sumner, it is well
known, was a late riser, and seldom
breakfasted before 11 o’clock. He re
ceived the unfortunate man kindly, and,
inviting him to breakfast, listened
patiently to his story. Roberts told me
afterward that it was the tirst square
meal lie had eaten for a long time. In
less than two days Roberts was given a
position in the navy yard, and hence
forth lie was a different man. When he
told me later his experience with Sum
ner that morning his eyes filled with
tears and his voice trembled with emo
tion. 11 was a magnanimous act on the
part of Sumner, and an outward ex
pression of his true character.
“It was the turning point in Robert’s
career. Only a few months ago ho de
livered one' of the best temperance
s[>ceclioß I ever heard in my life. Up
to the day of his death, which occurred
quite recently, he had a great venera
tion for the 'memory of Sumner, the
man who was so generous and kind to
him in trouble.”
A New Vocal Chord.
“ What is the matter, dear?” asked Mr.
Sbrinkem of his wife, who was tackifig
down a carpet in the next room. “Are
you hurt? I thought I heard you cry
out as if in pain.”
“I was practicing anew vocal chord;
that was all,” she replied, as she took
her thumb out of her mouth and ex
amined a bloodblistcr beneath tlie nail,
aud spitefully kicked a poor inanimate
tack-hammer across tho room.

H. M. Cole Is a renpocted newspaper
nmii of Detroit, Mich., and old enough
to have nerved iu the civil war. He
was in a Southern priaou several months,
and them contracted a chronic disease
that suheequcutl; secured him a govern
ment pension of $lO a month. Three
years ago ho voluntarily relinquished
iliis pc union, because, so he then said,
he had so fat recovered as to feel con
fident he could make a living without
aid from Washington. The voluntary
relinquishment of fHi per month has
been so incomprehensible to the pension
ollii ials that Mr. Col# has ever since
hern in almost monthly correspondence
with them in an attempt to explain it
In this he was unsuccessful, and re
cently, after in vain trying to realize
Mr. Colo's conscientiousness, tho de
paitment sent Special Agent Berry to
personally investigate this remarkable
case.
1 his action cn the part of the govern
ment brought out a still more ilngulnt
feature of the nlTair. Mr. Berry's iu
quirics were at first directed towards
ascertaining if Mr. Cole was sane, as the
department was otherwise unable to ex
plain his action. Inquiries proved that
lie was sane, but they also brought out
the fact that Mr. Cole was a faith cure
believer and had applied his belief in
the surrender of his pension. He told
Mr. Berry that he believed the disease
would ccrtaiuly return should lie allow
the pension to resume, “for," he added,
“the Lord would not allow me to enjoy
good health and at the same time a
pension for being sick.”

In pregnancy, “ Favorite Prescription
is a “mother's cordial," relieving nausea,
weakness of stomach and other distressing
symptoms common to that condition. If
its use is kept lip in the latter months of
• r (-station, it so prepares the system for de
livcry as to greatly lessen, and many times
almost entirely do away with the sufferings
ot that trying ordeal.
“Favorite Prescription,” when taken
in connection with the use of Dr. Pierce’s
Holden Medical Disc*very, and small laxa
tive dos< s of Dr. Pi*Tee’s Purgative Pellets
(l ittle Liver Pills), cures Liver, Kidney and
Bladder diseases. Their combined use also
removes blood taints, and abolishes can
cel ims and scrofulous humors from the
system.
“Favorite Prescription n is the only
medicine lor weinen si id, by druggists,
under a positive guarantee, from the
manufacturers, thut it will give satisfac
tion in every case, or money will be re
funded. This guarantee has been printed
<mi tlie bottle-wrapper, and faithfully car
ried out for many years. Large bottles
