The least derangement or disorder of the
delicate special organism of their sex over
whelms the whole physical and mental be
ing with weakness and wretchedness.
Hut it is a mistake to suffer these troubles
in silence. They may be cured in the per
fect privacy of home, without the repugnant
ordeal of examinations and “local treat
ment,” which the family doctor is sure to
insist upon.
No physician in the world has had a wider
or more successful experience in the treat
ment of woman’s diseases than Dr. R. V.
Pierce, chief consulting physician to the
Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, of
Buffalo. N. Y. His “ Favorite Prescription ”
is a positive cure for the most obstinate and
complicated feminine difficulties.
It is the only medicine of its kind pre

Mr. J. F Sneed, of Omen, Texas, writes : " My

Weylei's entrance into Madrid
on his return from Cuba was not
in any sense triumphal. His re

The Macon Telegraph will please

I want to put Mr. Shaver, the
funny man of the Dalton Argus,
and his republican comrade in
slander, the Macon Telegraph,
also the other four of his boasted
“half-dozen” newspapers with I
■‘back-bone” and etc., on notice
that I now demand that they prove
that the Byrd repert is false in
any particular.
*
* *
I have remained quiet under
the fife of the boasted “half-doz
en” papers. These brave defenders
of the people’s rights, led by the
people’s champion, the Macon
Telegraph, these half dozen im
maculates who, while not capable
of eenng, have successfully work
ed a cosner on the b .ck bone crop
in the Georgia field of journalism,
have been howling themselves
hoarse on this“ Special Report.”
* *
I have remained quiet, holding
myself subject to the commanfi of
GoVernor Atkinson, and have
waited untilhis heroic fight for re
form in th? misdemeanor convict
camps of Ge >rgia has been whipp
ed, and the law bo changed by the
legislature that now inhuman and
brutal treatment of helpless pris
oners is forever relogat-’d.
* *
*
It was the G >vernor’s fig'i . I
was only an humble instrument.
How well he camp igned in the
interest of humanity and for the
removal of a foul blot from Geor
gia’s name is tes'ified to by the
reform feature of the convict
measure just enacted into law by
the legislature.
*
* *
My part of the fight was in be
half of misdemeanor convicts. My
report shows only the facte as I
gathered them—and not all of the
horrors were incorporated, I rec
ommended that the misdemeanor
camps, wherein I found such in.
human abuses existed, be put un
der the supei vision of the peniten
tiary depar ment. As Mr Shaver
does not seem to know that this
has been done, I respectfully sug
gest that he secure a copy of said
bill and rend it over before he re
peats anything on the line of hie
editorial attempt of last week.
*
* *
This is a live wire, Mr, Shaver,
but you have'a right to truch it if
you want to. Stai ding under col
ors mj leader has carried to vic
tory I cherish no resentment for
scratches inflicted, while I was
following those colors —but at the
sam) „ime, I feel like letting you
know that my side is not in a stat •
of si ge.
