A button cut from the eoat
worn by Gen Shafter during the
Santiago campaign was recently
rattled off at a charity bazaar
held at Wichita, Kan., and 250
chances were sold at five cents
each. By a curious coincidence
the button was won by Mias
Marjorie Knorr, the girl who
had solicited Gen. Shafter to
tend it to the bazaar. After the
shaking of the bones the baton
naturally returned to its Knorr
mal condition.

hat must be the
itural conclusion

Philosophy of this k .id is based upon
gross ignorance. The fi..-' is. that there is
no necessity for the st vet e pangs under
gone by the average W' man. If a woman
is strong and healthy in a womanly way,
motherhood means to her but little suffer
ing. The trouble lies in the fact that the
majority of women suffer from weakness
and disease of the distinctly feminine or
ganism and are unfitted for motherhood.
This can always be remedied. Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription is a sure, speedy and
Sermanent cure for all disorders qf this
escription. It acts directly on the delicate
and important organs concerned, making
them healthy, strong, vigorous, virile and
elastic. It banishes the indispositions of
the period of expectancy and makes baby’s
advent easy and almost painless. It quick
ens and vitalizes the feminine organs, and
insures a healthy and robust baby. Thou
sands of women have testified to its mar
velous merits. Honest druggists do not
offer substitutes, and urge them upon you
as “just as good.”
"I suffered fourteen years," writes Mrs.
Mary J. Stewart, of Box 46, Saratoga, Santa
Clara Co., pal., with female weakness, nervous
ness and general debility. I tried everything to
no avail. Dr. Tierce's Favorite Prescription
and 'Golden Medical Discovery’ cured me."

DR. WURTH,S OPINION-'

A Remarkably Successful Remedy
For Dyspepsia, Indigestion and

ludigealion ib the starting point
of ceiusemption. heart disease,
Bright’*4ißeasb, diale es, uuivou*
prostration, liver troubles, why ia
uhi* so? Simnly because every
nerve, muacle and ti*sue in our
bodies is created and nourished
from the food we eat. If that
'food is, by reason of a weak stom
sch, compelled io lie for hours, a
«our, fermenting mass of half di
gested food, it poisons the blood
and nervous system, creates ga»
which <j*tend* the stomach and
’Dowels, caußing pressure on th*
heart, langs and other organa, and
seriously impeding their action,
He says further, the point to
direct attention ie m t the nerves,
uor heart, nor lungs, nor kiduey*,
but tl>* stomach, th* first cau-e of
all the mischief.
The remedy to use for indigna
tion and weak stomach* is not
l*i>nie cathartic, but a remedy
which will digest the food, in<
crease the flow of gastric juice,
absorb the gases, and S'uart* Dy*
