( t |f Ready ]\ # 'f For 1 \ Baby, The young mother thinks, when she has completed tbe baby garments mat are to clothe the little form. But she is not all ready for baby's coming, unless she has done something more for the baby than merely to prepare his clothes. Many a young mother who goes through hours of pain and suffering wonders why it was not possible to prepare in some way for the baby's advent, and to avoid the agony that seemed almost unendurable. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the one medicine for women which prepares them perfectly, both for the burdens and pleasures of maternity. It prevents the morning sickness from which so many women suffer. It strengthens the whole body, so that there is no nervousness nor anxiety. It promotes a healthy appetite and causes refreshing sleep. It gives the mother strength for her trial and makes the baby's advent practically painless. Healthy mothers have healthy children, and it is the general testimony of those who have used Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription as a preparative for motherhood, that the children were healthier and happier than those born after months of mental misery and physical anguish on the part of the prospective mother. Sick and ailing women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter absolutely without fee or charge. As chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., Dr. R. V. Pierce, assisted by his staff of nearly a score of physicians, has in the past thirty years and over treated and cured more than half a million sick and suffering women. The testimonials of these cured women are on record. A large number of them were cured when doctors had pronounced a cure impossible and after enduring years of useless suffering. Let no sick women hesitate to take advantage of Dr. Pierce's offer, but write at once and so secure the professional counsel of a specialist in the diseases of women, entirely free. All correspondence strictly private and sacredly confidential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. Hoped for Death, "For the sake of poor suffering women, I feel ft my duty to inform you of the great benefit your medicine has given me," writes Mrs. Callic - -? ? f?T ?... ;n ? 2JOW1CS, OL W UU, 1ICUCU V.U., il. N-. -i ill a. most miserable condition when I wrote to you. I had uterine disease so bad I could scarcely walk and suffered such dreadful misery I hoped to be relieved by death. You wrote "to me to take your 4 Favorite Prescription' and I have taken eleven bottles of it, and two of your * Pleasant Pellets.' I am entirely well aud" feel like a new woman. I feel thankful to God and to Dr. Pierce for the blessings I now enjoy. I have a fine big boy, two months old and never got along as well in my life. I can't praise your medicines enough." Very Thankful* ?I will be very glad to say a few words for Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription." writes Mrs. P. S. Douglas, of Mausonville, Brome Co., Quebec. ? During the first four months when I looked ft cward to becoming a mother I suffered very much from nausea and vomiting and I felt so terrible sick I could scarcely eat or drink anything. I hated all kinds of food. At this time" I wrote to Dr. Pierce and he told me to get his Vavr*ritr Prescription' and a bottle of'Golden Medical Discovery.' I got a tattle of each and when I had taken them a few days, I felt much better, and when I had taken hardly three parts ' of each bottle I felt well and could eat as well as any one, and could do my work without any trouble, (I could not do any thing before). I feel very thankful to Dr. Pierce for his medicine and I tell all who tell me thev are sick to get these medicines or write to Dr. Pierce."

A STALLION FIGHT. Battle Royal Between a Thoroagbbred and a Wild Buckskin. A contest between two stallions, one the leader of a wild band, the other a Kentucky thoroughbred that had run wild, is thus described by Sewell Ford In "Horses Nine:" Again the buckskin stallion charged, ears back, eyes gleaming wickedly and snorting defiantly. This tine the black stood his ground until the buckskin's teeth snapped savagely within a few inches of his throat. Just in time did he rear and swerve. Twice more?for the paddock raised black was slow to understand such behavior?the buckskin charged. Then the black was roused into aggressiveness. There ensued such a buttle as would have brought delight to the brute soul of a Nero. With fore feet and teeth the two stallions engaged, circling madly about on their hind legs, tearing up great clods of turf, biting and striking as opportunity offered. At last, by a quick, desperate rush, the buckskin caught the thoroughbred fairly by the throat. Here the affair would have ended had not the black stallion, rearing suddenly on his muscle ridged haunches and lifting his opponent's fore quarters clear of the ground, showered on his enemy such a rain of blows from his iron shod feet that the wild buckskin dropped to the ground, dazed and vanquished. Standing over him. with all the fierce pride of a victorious gladiator showing in every curve of his glistening body, the black thoroughbred trumpeted out a stentorian call of defiance and com mana. me nana ixiai uau wuivucvi struggle from a discreet distance now rame galloping in. whinnying in friendly fashion. Black Eagle had won his first fight. He had won the leadership. By right of might he was now chief of this free company of plains rangers. It was for him to lead whither he chose, to pick the place and hour of crazing, the time ??^? 11 ?BB?? for watering "and" his to guard bis companions from all dangers. As for the buckskin stallion, there remained for him the choice of humbly following the new leader or of limping off alone to try to raise a new band. Being a worthy descendant of the chargers which the men of Cortes ode so fearlessly into the wilds of the new world, he chose the latter course and. having regained his senses, galloped stiffly toward the north, his bruised j head lowered in defeat. A Sure Thing. Ic is said that nothing is sure except death and taxes, but that is not altogether true. Dr. Kiog'o New Discovery for consumption is a sure cure for all lung and throat troubles. Thousands can testify tc that. Mrs C. B Van Metre of Shepberdtown, W. Va, says: "I had a severe case of Bronchitis and for a year tried everything I heard of, but got no relief. One bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery then cured me absolutely." It's infallible for Croup, Whooping Cough Grip, Pneumonia and Consumption. Try it. It's guaranteed by The Kaufmann Drug Company, Druggist. Trial bottles free. Reg. sizes 50c $100. / Length of Life I* Increasing. The average length of human life is constantly and steadily increasing, having. according to a professor of hygiene, doubled within the past three A T? /-lonfurr if centuries. iu me sxakxuiu vcuiui,) was between eighteen and twenty years, while today it is forty. The principal agencies in this prolongation of life, the scientist believes, are more attention to the air we breathe and more care as to the water we drink. This opinion is sustained by the statistics of large cities, which show that, owing to improved sanitation, the introduction of servers and of public water supplies, their rates of mortality within the past forty years have been reduced to about one-half. Do you want to prolong your life and increase your pGwers? Then breathe deeply and drink plenty of pure water between, not at meals?not iced water or boiled water, but distilled water.?Success. The Tall Hat In France. The tall hat. variously called "chimney pot," "stovepipe," "cylinder" and what not. became fashionable in Paris in 1790, soon after the death of Frank lin, in whose honor it was Known as "chapeau Franklin." In spite of numberless changes of style, it has maintained its ground ever since, unexpected as such a result would have seemed at its first introduction. For a time this style of hat was considered revolutionary in Germany and Russia. Any one wearing a "cylinder" was liable to punishment, but the evil reputation soon passed away, and the tall, stiff hat. the ugliest head covering that was ever worn and the most ridiculed, outlives all other styles. A Startling Test. To sive a life, Dr. T. G. Merritt of No Mehoopany, Pa, made a start ling test resulting in a wonderful cur *. He writes, "a patient was attacked with violent hemorrhage?, caused by ulceration of the stomach.
