Gen. Merritt come.s four
most welcome bits of informa

says that tin re is no truth in
the reported breakdown of Ad
miral Dewey s health ; that the
Germans acted a “little queer”
without doing any harm; that
the climate of the Philippine! is
delightful and that the volun

Thousands fail of this because they have
neglected to look after their health in a
womanly way. The health of a woman’s
babies is dependent upon her own health
during the period of prospective maternity
The prospective mother cannot be too par
ticular about her physical condition. If
she suffers from local weakness, nervous
ness or loss of vigor and virility, her chib
dren will be weak, puny and sickly. Dr.
Pieroe’s Favorite Prescription is tne only
unfailing cure for all weakness and disease
of the delicate and important organs that
bear the brunt of maternity. It makes these
organs •Ifong. healthy, vigorous, virile and
elastic, fl makes the prospective mother
strong nnd cheerful, ft robs maternity of
its perils. It insures a baby constitution
ally strong. It is tbe invention of an emi
nent and skillful specialist, who has had
thirty years’ training in this particulai
branch, during which time he ana his staff
of physicians have prescribed for many
thousands of women Medicines dealers
sell it and an hune.t dealer will not urge
upon you an inferior substitute merely for
the little added profit he may make thereon.
“I am the mother of a nice baby four aud a

have any odor; and of these
nearly fifty have an odor, which
