‘My Head! My Head! dden Blindness and Dizzi ness. What Causes It? HE ATHENS BANNER. FRIDAY MORNIN if The first step to the finding of a cure for any disease is to find its cause. And it’s a notable fact that the cause of a disease may be quite remote from its manifestations. Headache, spots before the eyes and dizziness are only symptoms of disease. When the experienced phy sician is confronted with these symptoms in a woman he enquires at once as to tbe condition of the womanly health. He Vuowi that the general health is intimately related to the local womanly health, and from the very symptoms he argues derangement or disease of the delicate womanly organism. So far he is right. But when he begins to treat 4 he disease he has located how often he his 'Pleasant special directions (which he advised), __ wonderful.

"You can publish this., for I am willing to let others know how much I suffered and what cured me when others failed.” "Favorite Prescription” makes weak women strong and sick women well. It establishes regularity, and dries the of fensive drains which undermine the strength. It heals inflammation and ul ceration and cures female weaknses. It positively cures the nervousness, sleep lessness, backache and similar ailments which are caused by disease of the womanly organs. It is the best prepara tive for maternity. It cures morning sickness, gives great physi cal vitality ana vigor and makes the baby’s advent practically painless. It non- tains no alcohol and it absolutely free from opium, cocaine and all other nar cotics. It cannot disagree with the most delicr.te.

I thought I would try your ‘ Favorite Pre scription.’ I took five bottles and three of the ' Golden Medical Discov ery’ and one vial of Dr. Pierce’s Pellets, and I can safely say that I never felt better in my life.” No sick woman should accept her condition as in curable or beyond help until she has given Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip tion a ft.ir and faithful trail.

In the letter of Mrs. Douglass given below, she says that in ten years of suffering she tried seven doctors with out permanent benefit. Her family phy sician said she could not get well. Yet what seven doctors failed to do was perfectly and permanently accomplished by Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. There is no experiment in the use of this medicine. It has cured thousands of women of the most distressing forms of womanly disease. tvhaT cured me wjien others failed. "For ten years I suffered with female trouble, also catarrh of the stomach, liver and kidney troubles, and catarrh of the bladder,” writes Mrs. Lottie M. Douglass, of Glenmore, Oneida Co., N. Y. * I would have very hard headaches and blind spells; stomach and bowels used to bloat a great deal, and I was troubled with beanng-down pains all the time. Tongue cannot tell how much I suffered from nervousness. / used to think I should lose my mind, my head would feel so bad. My heart was so bad that the least excitement, and even to turn over in bed, would cause palpitation. Had female weakness so bad for three years that I was in bed most of the time, In fact could scarcely be on my feet at all. I tried seven different . octors, but received no lasting Itenefit. 1 was en tirely discouraged when I wrote to Dr. Pierce, stating my case. He advised me to try his remedies, and I did so. The first bottle I took helped me, and the bloat began to *** out of my stomach. I diseases which had failed to yield to the treatment of local physicians, and which in many cases, as in that of Mrs. Doug- glass, had been pronounced incurable. Many women write r.o Dr. Pierce for his medicalj advice and the wise and fatherly counsel which are the outcome of more than thirty years of practice and success. Dr. Pierce gives to every sick woman the privilege of free consultation with him by letter. This offer is not to l>e confounded with those offers of free medical advice made by men ot women who are not physicians and are not qua! fied legally or medically to give the advice they offer. All correspondence is held as sacred, and the written confidences of women are guarded by the same strict profes sional privacy observed by Dr. Pierce in his daily personal consultation with siclc women.

Atlanta, June 18.—R. C. O’Rorke, an Atlanta man, expects soon to come in to possession of a fortune of no small proportions. O’Rorke is proprietor of the Maine hotel at 10 Walton street. The news of his good fortune was brought him yesterday by his first cousin, Frank O’Rorke,- who also shares in the excel lent good luck. The fortune in question, It is claim ed, is In Ireland and amounts to 92.- 600,000, part of it actual cash In bank and the remainder in valuable real estate. In telling the story yesterday of his good fostune Frank O’Rorke said: “A number of years ago my grand father, William O’Rorke, of Drumna- han Castle, county of Letrim, Ireland, died, leaving no will and supposedly no heirs to his estate, valued at $2,500,000. ’According to the laws of Ireland, the estate became the property of the government until the rightful heirs could be found. After due advertising a man named Peter O’Rorke, of Cork, Ireland, claimed the estate and came very near establishing his claim before we knew of the death of our kinsman. When we learned of the true state of affairs I was commissioned as the le gal representative to go to Ireland and establish the claim of my cousin and myself to the fortune.” On December 23 last Mr. O’Rorke says he left for Ireland and without any delay established their claim to half the fortune and within a few months showed beyond a doubt that he and his cousin, R. C. O’Rorke, and a third kinsman, Q. W. O’Rorke,. of Pittsburg, Tex., were the rightful own ers of the entire estate. ton, of Chicago. Superintendent of public Instruction, Anson L.
