" OUT OF HIS CLASS. 1
Didn't Occur to the Elephant That
the Tortoise Curled No Trunk.
An elephant that bad read the fable
of the tortoise that by strict attention
to business had won a race from a
hare that indulged In sleep, gentle
sleep, during the progress of the race,
decided to profit by the hint given by
Mr. sop, so he challenged a rabbit
to a contest of speed and offered to bet
genuine money on the result.
"Tou are on," said the rabbit, and
the course was measured, judges were
selected and press agents secured.
"It Is a cinch," said the elephant. "I
weigh between fonr and five tons. That
hnre In racing form weighs twenty-two
ounces. I will win by three long city
blocks."
"If that pachyderm Is figuring on my
being dopy," said the rabbit, "he will
Siscover that he has been smoking the
wrong brand himself, for I am troubled
with insomnia, and I never sleep. What
resting I do Is after the running haB
ended and the shouting has commenc
ed." The race was run, and those who had
placed their money on the elephant
never saw It again. The rabbit covered
the distance before the elephant had
moved his ponderous legs three times.
Moral. The elephant was out of his
class. Judge.

which have their beginning in the stom

IS
And other working women know what it is to have work that must be
done at once and yet cannot be done without great physical suffering.
There are times when a woman's condition is such that every pressure of
the foot on the treadle of the sewing machine means sharp suffering.
The typewriter, too, must keep at her post even when the keys of the
machine blur into a confused blotch of black and white before her aching
eyes, and every touch of her fingertips jars her nerves almost beyond
endurance. It's the same with every kind of woman's work. There are
times when it can only be done at the expense of great suffering. In
such cases there is a strong temptation to spur the flagging energies by
the use of a little stimulaut, or to take some nerve-numbing drug to dull
the present pain. Either practice is dangerous and may prove deadly.
The need of the woman is not stimulation but strength, not to numb the
nerves but to nourish them.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription perfectly satisfies the need. It
works wonders for weak, run-down, worn-out, over -worked women,
whether they work at home or abroad, in factory or in
office, school-room or store ; whether they sit all day at
the sewing machine or at the typewriter. It contains no
alcohol and is entirely free from opium, cocaine and all
other narcotics. It is purely vegetable and a powerful
invigorating tonic. It makes weak women strong and
sick women well. It cures nervousness, backache, head
ache, sleeplessness, mental anxiety, despondency and
other maladies which are but the consequences of disease
of the delicate womanly organism.
"Please accept my thanks for the benefit received from your
medicine," writes Mrs. Nancy C. Dodd, of Red Top, Dallas Co.,
Mo. " I was not able to sit up all day and had been sick about
three months when I first wrote to you for advice. Had tried
two different doctors but they failed to cure me. One said that I had in
herited heart and stomach trouble from my mother. I had smothering
spells, two and three every twenty-four hours. Had pain in back of
head and my stomach would pain me after eating. I could eat nothing
but crackers and these would hurt me. Had pain in right side; could
not be moved without suffering excruciating pain. Life was fast be
coming a burden to me, as I had given up all hope of ever being better
until death would end my sufferings. What I suffered, both in mind
and body, cannot be imagined. But for my unbounded faith in God's
goodness and mercy I doubt not I would have given up and died. I
was so weak, nervous, and down-hearted, I thought I would have to
leave my husband and little ones. Never a night was I free from
worry. Had female weakness, cold hands and feet. After spending
almost everything for doctor bills, and having read so much about Dr.
Pierce's medicines, I concluded to try his 'Favorite Prescription.'
Took two bottles and then wrote to Dr. Pierce for his advice. Got a
prompt repiy, advising me to take his ' Golden Medical Discovery ' and
Tleasant Pellets,' and to use Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy locally for
inflammation of the uterus. I followed the directions given, and took nine ottles of the
'Favorite Prescription,' five of the 'Golden Medical Discovery,' six vials of the 'Pleasant
Pellets,' and used also one bottle of the 'Catarrh Remedy,' as directed. I improved fast
while taking his medicine. I can now do my own work for my family and take in sewing
and any kind of work. My sister came to see me; she said two years back she did not think
I would ever be straight any more, that I was drawn over in my shoulders; but my shoulders
are not drawn over now."
"I take pleasure in writing to let you know the great good I received from your 'Favorite
Prescription ' and 'Pleasant Pellets,' " says Mrs. Nora Gaddie, of Rio, Hart County, Ky. BI
took seven or eight bottles ot avorite Prescription ' and one or two vials of the ' Pellets.'
Think I would have been in tn., grave had it not been for your medicines. Now I thank you
a thousand times for your advice. It has been about four months since I took the medicine.
I was all run-down, had loss of appetite, could not sleep at night, was nervous, had backache,
black spots on my limbs, and sick headache all the time. I have not had sick headache since
I took your medicine."
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription establishes regularity, dries weakening drains,
heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. It encourages the
appetite, tranquilizes the nerves and induces refreshing sleep.
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets should always be used with " Favorite Prescrip
tion " whenever a laxative is required, as they assist the action of that remedy.
They are small in size and easy and pleasant to take.
Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Tierce by letter, free. All letters are held
as strictly private, and the written confidences of women are guarded by the same
strict professional privacy observed by Dr. Pierce and his staff in personal consul
tations with weak and sick women, at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,

Sometimes a dealer, tempted by the little more
profit paid on the sale of less meritorious prepara
tions, will offer a substitute for " Favorite Prescrip
tion" as "just as good." Judged by its record of
curee of womanly ills, there is no other medicine just
as -ood as " Favorite Prescription."
