THE DOCTOR’S MISTAKE.
The doctor made a mistake in the num-
her and called at the wrong house. No
woman calls a doctor after she is once
acquainted with
the remedial value
of Dr. Pierce’s Fa
vorite Prescription
in all diseases and
drains common to
the sex. Without
humiliating ques
tions or local ex
aminations the
cure is accom
plished by the
use of the
" Favorite
Prescrip
tion” sup-
ilement-
by free
medical advice if needed. This medi
cine is harmless in any condition of the
system and can be taken without the
slightest fear of bod consequences. It con
tains no whisky or alcohoj. There is not
an iota of anything narcotic in it. The
relief it gives is permanent. In this It
differs from many preparations which
give temporary relief only by deadening
the sense of reeling with narcotics, and
the dangerous stimulants they contain
create an appetite for strong drink.
When a dealer offers a substitute for
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, re
member these facts.
When their diseases are deep^eated
and of long standing, women will find
it to their interest to write to Dr. R. V.
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., who has had won
derful success in curing diseases of wom
en. He fives advice free, and invites all
to write him. Prompt,‘careful and per
sonal attention is paid to each letter, and
the fullest advice is always given. •
••After fire months of great tufiMog I writ*
this lor the benefit of other sufferers from the
same affliction," says Mrs. H. A. Alabrook, ot
Austin, Lonoke Co., Ark. " I doctored with our
fiunilr physician without any good results, so
my husband urged me to try Dr. Pierce’* medi
cine*—which I did. with wonderful result*. I
am completely cured. I took four bottle* of
Dr. Pierce’* Favorite Prescription, four of his

Question tbo Most Important Fea
tures, Whits tbo Peace Conference,
Samoa and Cblna Are Mentioned.
Washington, Not. 29. — President
McKinley’s third annual message to
congresa le now practically complete.
Only such changes and additions as de
velopments in the PhiUppinet and else
where during the next few days neces
sitates will be made. It was read at
yesterday’* cabinet meeting. It is the
longest message ever sent to oongresa
by President McKinley, comprising
more than 20,000 words.
The moat important features of the
message relate to tbe new dependencies
and to the flnanoial question. The es
sential feature! on these topio* were
thui outlined today by a member ot the
cabinet:

throughout the Philippines and to be
permanently maintained. Civil gov
ernment is to be extended thronghont
the island! as rapidly as possible on
lines somewhat similar to the arrange
ments effected for the government of
the island of Negros.
Attention ie Invited to the report of
the Philippine commission as to why it
is Impossible for the United States to
part with the islands and as to the great
commercial advantages in holding them.
Civil government in Cuba tinder mill-
tsry control is reoommended until some
•ubstantlal progress has been made
through the medlnm of suffrage toward
the establishment ot an independent
form of government
Attention is oalled to the faot that the
nsus will not be completed nntil Deo.
1, and at the Spaniards have, under the
treaty, nntil April next to' decide
whether they will beoome citizens of
the island, it Will not be possible nntil
that time to hold general eleotlooe to
determine uj>ot» the fotnre government
of the island. The question of annex
ation is, therefore, lett open.
Great stress is laid upon tbe improve
meat in the island during tbe year, not
only commercially and agrionltnrally,
bnt also in tho sanitary condition of the
citiei and towns.
President McKinley recommend! that
civil government Immediately replace
the military in Porto Rico— a civil gov
ernor to bo appointed and a council or
legislators to be eleoted by the pebple,
property and ednoational qualifications
to be prescribed for voter*.
As to Hawaii, the ’president suggest*
immediate legislation, to pnt into effeut
a territorial, form of government, and
tha modification of thu pending bill! to
end more nearly with the pro*-
•nt government of the islands.
The Hague conference is pointed to
with satisfaction and a statement made
that tbe treaty agreed to at this confer,
sues will be submitted at once to the
senate.
Gratification is expressed over tbe
final settlement of the Venezuelan
boundary controversy.
Samoa oom** in for e large share of
attention, the exoiting events of th*
year an reviewed and the statement
made that a treaty will soon be sent to
the senate for tbe partition of the islands.
Tbe president refers to the trade sit-
nation in China and the verbal as
■nrancee received by this government
from powers having spheres of inflnsnoe
in that empire that American trade
right* will be respected. He also an*
nonuoes that he has requested that
these verbal assuranaes be plaoed in
j, but beyond elating that favor-
able anewers are expeoted, he is unable
to inform oougres* that he has received
tbe formal communication* desired.
