The concert of the “powers”

Any woman may insure the health of her
children who will take proper care of her
health in a womanly way. The health of
her children depends almost entirely upon
her general health, and particularly upon
the health and strength of the delicate and
important organs that bear the burdens of
maternity. A woman has no right to dis
regard her own health, comfort, case and
happiness, she certainly has less right to
condemn her children to a life of suffering
or an early death. That is what she does
if she neglects the health of her special
womanly organism. Dr. Pierce s Favorite
Prescription is an unfailing remedy for all
disorders of this description. It strength
ens and invigorates the sensitive organs
concerned, and is the best preparation fur
the trials and dangers of maternity. It in
sures the well being of the mother and the
health of the child. Its use is a guarantee
of a bountiful supply of nourishment for
the little new-comer. Many women who
once bore children only to speedily lose
them, are now mothers of healthy, robust
children as the result of the use of this
medicine.
Barbra A. Mudd.of Indian Creek. Mo . writes:
“I am very thankful for what Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription did for me. I wa- all broken
down from nervous prostration, but since taking
your medicine I have had more relief than
from all the doctors Your ‘ Favorite Prescrip
tion ’ did me a world of good."
Many women have told their experiences,
and given their names, addr sses and pho
tographs in Dr. Pierce's Common Sens.:
Medical Adviser. This book is free. A
copy will be sent to any address upon re
ceipt of 21 one-cent stamps to cover cost of
mailing only. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce,
Buffalo, N. V. The “Favorite Prescrip

«st man will urge a substitute.

North Carolina, which pays a
pension to Configurate army
veterans that are in need, finds
that but one in fifteen of the
I known survivors in the state is
on the pension list. Applicants
t for aid an» fewer each year in
stead 01 increasing constantly,
as is the case with federal pen
sion ts. In Georgia the Federal
epich mic seems to have gained
a footing. The Georgia tax pay
ers contribute to Georgia Con
federate veterans about as much
as all the other Southern states
' pay to their veterans. The Geor
gia rolls should be payed and
every veteran and widow of a
Confederate soldier who does
not absolutely need the pensian
should be cut off of the rolls.
If all the property in Georgia
that is hidden out from tax ition
could be reached and made to
pay its honest dues, the problem
of state income and expendi
tures w’ould be solved. To ac
complish this result should be
the earnest and persistent effort
of the legislature, and it should
be accomplished at the present
session.—Atlanta Journal.
A French doctor has invented
an electric helm t, inside of
which is a small motor that vi
brates strips of steel, the motor
making 600 nuns per minute.
This whizzing is supposed to
cure nervous headache and put
the sufferer to sleep. But the aver--
a< f e man with wheelsin bis head,
does not need such a motor.
Count Esterhazy is now re
ported as being in the black
mailing business. It is charged
that lie has written to several
French Generals, demanding
money, under threats of expo
sure. Tins same alleged noble
man is lavashly decorated with
several crosses of the legion of
honcr.
It is reported that Spain
bought a cargo of 135,000 bush
els of wheat in New York the
other day—her first commercial
transaction with Uncle Sain for
some time. The only doubt
about the alleged transaction is
the fact that it takes cash to buy
wheat.
