An attack of Fever at

It means ten days of

ten days of hard work

who love you.
This is putting it in its
very happiest aspect. It
might mean your death,

WHY?
Why do women continue to endure
suffering caused by womanly diseases?
There are many answers to that ques
tion. Sometimes because they have ex
hausted the skill
of local physicians
and remain un
cured. At other
times it is because
they shrink from
submitting to ob
noxious examina
tions which local
physicians deem
necessary. And to
sum it all up, they
endure suffering
because they do
not know that Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription
makes weak wom
en strong and sick
women well.
n Favorite Pre
scription "establishes regularity,dries dis
agreeable drains, heals inflammation and
ulceration and cure* female weakness.
"I enjoy good facatth; thanks to Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription and * Golden Medical Dis
covery,' "writes Mrs. J. J. Bchnetyer, of Pontiac,
Livingston Co., III. "I was taken sick and
the doctors here called it' Grip.' I lay for four
weeks in bed, then when I got up I found I had
'displacement.' Had such aches and pains In
my back and limbs could not stand any length
os time. I knew that our home doctor would in
rift the first thing on an examination, and that
I would not submit to, unless I was dangerously
sick. My son had your book. 'Common Sense
Medical Adviser.' and I thought from reading
it that Dr. Pierce's medicine would do me
more good than all the home doctors—and so it
has. X can truly say I waa surprised at the
benefit I received. I can do all my washing and
also tend my Cower garden. In fact I am on my
feet most all the time An old friend of mine
said to me. * Why what is the matter with you?
Vou are getting young again.' I told her I had
taken six bottles of Dr. Pierce's medicines, and
that if she would do likewite the would feel ten
years younger, loo."

DIED ON HIS WEDDING DAY.
Peculiar Error In Ceceaied's Will May
. invalidate Instrument
G and Rapids. .Mich..'May 21.—E. L.
Mcronnell, of Muskegon, who died In
this,city on the date he was to have
married Miss Vfyrlnla Platt, of Cin
cinnati. In his will left $00,000 to estab
lish a home for Indigent old .women at
Fairmont, fnA. • ‘ ' J " * * *
An examination of the will shows
that Instead of "Indigent" <’. women,
he wrote "Indignant" old women, and
this error In spelling may Invalidate
the Instrument.
According to the will aa originally
drafted he left $6,000 to Flora Newton,
of Syracuse, to whom he was formerly
engaged. He scratched her name out
and substituted that of Miss Platt
when the change came over his affec
tions, and only one of the witnesses to
the will was apprised of the change,
which was equivalent to making a new
will. It Is said the Instrument will be
attacked by Miss Newton and Mr. Mc
Donnell's relatives.
