The testimony and the re port of the referee are sealed, under a precision of law."^ arranged to sail for Europe tomorrow for a long visit. She will be accompa nied by her three children. The story of the trouble in the Van derbilt family first came to the knowl edge of .the public last August when a cable dispatch from Paris stated that formal negotiations were then In pro gress for a Judicial separation between william K. Vanderbilt and his wife. The name of Nellie Neustretter, a very well-know woman living In Paris, was men tloned in connection with these proceedings. She had recently estab lished herself in expensive npairtmemits in Paris and at Deuville, with an elab orate entourage of servants. The do mestic relations between Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt reached almost a climax last spring when the party on the splen did yacht Valiant broke up In the Med iterranean upder clr6um«tances which ait once separated nil its members. Mrs. Vanderbilt went to England where S v«t Murray's beautiful estate, Danesfleld, near Ilcnley-on-the-Tharraa had 'been rented for her. In June last, Cornelius Vanderbilt wont to Uondon to interpose his strenuous offices to Stop further public proceedings, but was unsuccessful in restoring peace and re- turned home. Mm Vanderbilt committed her In terests to Col. William Jay of this city. A formal proposition had. It was said, been unde to'Mrs. Vanderbilt for a sep aration on terms of allowance of 33,* 000,000, the custody ot her children and the possession of the three houses at Newport, Isllp and In New York. In the spring months, Mr. vanaenbiii was conspicuous In Paris. He epent money without stint and is reported to have had a very good time ondosi. but M r. Vanderbilt ‘Has defendens among hla friends here who declare unworthy of ' It is within the power of every woman to have a whole some face, if not a beautiful complexion. A pretty face is generally largely the result of s healthy physical condition. Health and beauty go hand in hand. A healthy atate of a woman's system come* with the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. Wrinkles and hollow cheeks follow the derangements and weaknesses which make life miserable for so many women. The " run-down,” tired-out woman who complaina of backache, headache, loss of appetite, extreme lassitude, a sense of weight and dragging down in the abdomen, and that "don't care" feeling, is suffering from displacement of some of the womanly organs or some irregularity of the special functions of womanhood. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is a vegetable compound which has a peculiar tonic or invigorating effect upon the womanly organs, and cures permanently irregularities, ulcer ation, inflammation, and that common and most debilitating drain from the lining roemh/unes caused thereby. Many times women call on their family physicians suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease, another from liver or kidney dis ease, another from nervous exhaustion, or prostration, another with pain here and ' there, and in this way they all present alike, to their easy-going and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases, for which he prescribes ^hia pills and potions, assuming them to be such, when, in reality, they are all only symptoms caused hy some womb disorder. The physician, ignorant of the cause of suffering, encourages his practice until large bills are made. The suffering patient gets no better, but probably worse by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications. A proper medicine, like Dr. Fierce’s Favorite Prescription, directed to the cause would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dispelling all those distressing symptoms and instituting comfort instead of prolonged misery. It has been well said that “a disease known is half enred." “ Woman’s ills." Mr- \V. R. Batfs, of “ A few years ago I took Doctor Pierce’* Favorite Prescription, which has been a great benefit to me.
