Are Your Eyes Puffy? We are the Solo Agents for the Only Thing Known That Cures the Kidney Diseases that Cause - Dropsy, viz: Fulton's Compound. It Is now well known that-dropsy Is not In Itself a disease but is commonly a symptom of Bright's Disease or Diabetes. Hence, up to the discovery of the Fulton Compounds, dropsy was incurable. It is now, however, curable In nearly nine tenths of all cases. Here is an interesting recovery, to which we refer by permission. Mrs. Peter Goyheneix of 928 Fillmore street, San Francisco, became alarmingly dropsical. Her physician had finally to tap her every few days. She was tapped nearty forty times and grew worse from day to day. The physician finally told her husband that she had Bright's Disease of the Kidneys, that it was In an ad vanced chronic state and beyond medical aid. Her heart also gave her the usual trouble and she was in such a serious condition the relatives were sent for. They put her on Fulton's Com pound. It stayed on her stomach, the first thing that had done so for a week. The second week the dropsy declined a little and the im provement was then gradual until her recovery was complete. This case was examined into by representatives of the San Francisco Star and the Overland Monthly, and the genuineness ol the case and the recovery were fully attested in their columns. Mrs. Thomas Christol of 42 Twenty-seventh street, San Francisco, was also swollen with dropsy, as a result of chronio Bright's Disease, to more than seventy-five pounds beyond her normal we'ght, and had to be moved in sheets and was close to death's door although she had four physicians. She was put on the Fulton Compounds. Three weeks showed improvement and in six months she waa weU, and permits this reference. There is only ene thing known that will cure the chronic kidney disease that is behind dropsy and that is Fulton's Compound.

Plechaty, Plaintiff, .. vs. , Emma Plechaty, Defendant. ; To Emma Plechaty, Defendant: - ... .: In the name of the State of Oregon you are hereby required -to appear in the above entitled Court and answer the complaint filed -against you there in oft or before the 19th day of May, 1906, said date being six weeks after the first publication hereof, which first publication is on the. 6th day of April, 1906. If you fail to appear and Dr. Pierce's FaYorite Prescription Is a powerful, invigorating tonic, impart ing health and strength in particular to the organs distinctly feminine. The local, womanly health Is so Intimately related to the general health that when diseases of the delicate womanly organs are cured the whole body gains in health and strength. For weak and sickly women who are "worn-out," "run-down" or debilitated, especially for women who work in store, office or schoolroom, who sit at the typewriter or sewing machine, or bear heavy household burdens, and for nursing mothers, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has proven a priceless benefit because of its health-restoring and strength-giving powers. As a soothing and strengthening nerv ine. "Favorite Prescription" is un equalcd and is invaluable in allaying and subduing nervous excitability, irritabil ity, nervous exhaustion, nervous prostra tion, neuralgia, hysteria, spasms, chorea, or bt. Vitus's dance, and other distressing nervous symptoms commonly attendant upon functional and organic disease of tne womanly organs. It induces refresh ing sleep and relieves mental anxiety and despondency. Cures obstinate cases. "Favorite Pre scription " is a positive cure for the most complicated and obstinate cases of "fe male weakness," painful periods, irregu larities, prolapsus or falling of the pelvic organs, weak back, bearing-down sensa tions, chronic congestion, inflammation and ulceration. Dr. Pierce's medicines are made from harmless . but eflicient medical roots found growing in our American forests. The Indians know of the marvelous cura tive value of some of these roots and im- F parted that knowledge to some of the riendlier whites, and gradually some of the more progressive physicians came to test and use them, and ever since they have grown in favor by reason of their superior cuiative virtues and their safe and harmlivs qualities. Your druc-gists sell the "Favomh Pbj bcription " and also that famous altera tive, blood purifier and stomach tonic, the "Golden Medical Discoveby." Write to Dr. Pierce about your case. He is an experienced physician and will treat your case as confidential and without charge for correspondence. Address kim at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., of which Ea is chief con sulting physician. answer the plaintiff will take a decree against you for the relief demanded in the complaint, which is for a decree dissolving the bonds of matrimony now existing between yourself and the plaintiff. .

The Right Honorable High Muck-a-Muck Brownell spoke to a large audi ence at the John Elliott Hall Wednes day evening, March 28. For fear the audience might get tired of his sweet dulcet voice, he "brought along three accomplished singers, to fill in the interludes. Of course most of the audience being Brownell men, sat like a nest full of young birds with heir mouths open, waiting to swallow any thing the old mother bird was a mind to drop in, grasshoppers, or shingle nails, it didn't matter which, and of course Brownell dropped in lots of what I would call indigestible food, but the swallowed it down and no doubt wanted more. I really felt sor ry for the other five candidates that wanted to speak, but Brownell occu pied the floor so long, telling how he loved theh people, and what he would do for them, if they would elect him again, and referring so often to that little Patent Medicine advertising sheet, the Enterprise, that the other candidates had no time to tell what they would do if elected. Perhaps it is a good thing. Wool is so plentiful in Clackamas county, if we are so amind, we can all have some, but as long as the voters will be gulled by such men as Brownell, they will never . accomplish anything for their benefit by their ballot. . Well, every body is busy around here putting in .crops. Bill Dallis is seeding down to clover the widow Hiser"s place. - Edd Boring is busy on five acres of new ground he has cleared this win ter. - The O. W. P. surveyors are still at work ,in this neighborhood. ' There was a party at Mr. Molen hoop's last night in honor of Mrs. Molenhoop's mother, who leaves soon for Hamburg, Germany. . , MOUNTAIN VIEW." Mrs. McGeehan attended the con vention at Portland last . Wednesday and Thursday of the Woman Suffrage. This is a question that is becoming quite a topic, and we find many in favor if it There-are a few who think it will prove, demoralizing ' to the home and that its influence will promote a restless and Unhappy state of affairs in the family relations. Such may happen with the few who rebel against it, but the wives and mothers an daughters will take a greater in terest in the paramount issues for the betterment of existing conditions. No one will doubt this in the least, and where; is there a woman today born and raised in . America but has the mental ability to vote right in preference to the foreigner who comes here.; illiterate and crude, takes out the naturalization papers and goes to . the polls and -.votes, many times a man will go to jthe ballot box and put ' in a vote - that, somebody has- given him a: drink of whisky to vote as he was asked to ; do. It -4s said woman would allow herself to drop out the effect of "her individuality. To say woman would .take no interest in nolk. tics is untrue. . All .-women " have an ' interest in that which effects for good or evil the country in which she lives. Woman has a power over her home and the .Success, or?, failure of'' the business interest on which is founded the material welfare of that home. It is a question of broadened: intelligence and influence of patriot-' ' ism.- it spartan -mothers and. Roman '' matjpons are to be held as Models be fore (its. Then the cultivation of an intelligent patriotism is a logical re suit. It is not claimed 1 that . woman" ' sha ll take up the intricacies of ward -politics, but there' are, broad under- " lying principles of party differences which they can understand and should. To announce herself as belonging to either ' party without an idea of the -policy, of that party is absurd.- : No woman of intelligence will assert par tisanship without defining her faith. But ishe will stand forth for principles and it is to be hoped a better class of -men will seek the offices of state and 4 nation than some we know ihave 'won their way by bribery and are a bane to.
