l'Avonte Prcscrip
tiou are willing: to
offer &500 reward
for women who can
not be cured. Such
a remarkable offer
is founded on the
lonff record of cures
of the diseases and
weaknesses pecu
liar to women. If
there 1a an lnvnlM
woman, suffer Hi fr from female weakness,
prolapsus, or falling of womb, or from leu
corrlica who has used Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription without complete success, the
Itroprtetors of that medicine would like to
tear from such person and it will be to
her ad vantage to write them as they offer,
in perfect Rood faith, a reward of $500
for any case of the above maladies which
they cannot cure. No other medicine for
woman's ills is possessed of the unparal
leled curative properties that would war
rant its makers in making such an offer.
The Sinters of the C.ood Shepherd, at their
convent, "Otir I,nly of the Woods," CarthitRe,
Ohio, use n Rreat deal of Dr. I'tercc's medicines;
they say, In a recent letter to I)r. Tierce: "We

uflktcutly recommend their exeellepce,"
When the druggist saya he has some
thing that is as sood as Dr. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription, just tell him, "There's
nothing just as good." He snvs so because
lie hopes to nmke a better profit but his
own mixtures have not stood the test of
loug experience and success that Doctor
Pierce's medicines hnve. Then, too, many
patent medicines advertised as tonics, con
tain large quantities of alcohol. Dr. Pierce
Runratitees tlmt his "Prescription " does

of the Methodist Episcopal church.
Subjects ranging from the broad
question of right and sympathy in he
.uisiio-jHpnnesa war. io ine personal
question of whother the lowly mem
Dors, of the denomination should at
Lend the theaters and play games of
cards, will be discussed and passed

NVhat can the church do on the

The proposal to consolidate the

The subject of the American Univer
sity, In course of construction at
Washington, D. C, Is one of the big
questions thai tho educational section
will have to decide. The Institution,
as originally projected, was to have
an endowment of $5,000,000 and an
agreement was . reached at a former
general conference that the university
should not be opened until this sum
should be In hand.
