David Krill, who lived with his
eister, Mrs. Jtnoie Abramowitz,

Florida of several week?. When
be left tbia city for' the turpentine
camps he was in good health. When

bark viai black and blue, and btill
marked with deep red scars where
he taid he had been whipped. He
had been taken to Jacksonville, he
said; and from there to Mateo. He
was then tarried to a camp in tbe
woods, where there were huts ard
negro guards. ' At the end of- two
week?, be paid, he found that . he
owed the company $24 above hie
promised $12 a wetk. He wa? still
strong, and decided to escape. Hs
ran away one night, and in tbe
mcroing found ibat be was lost.
Later in the day he was recaptured
and beaten. .
The next morning while he w88
at work in the swamp, ooe of those
with whom be had shared the com
pany's dotes dipped $30 to Limt

Woman's Trials. ;
The bitter trail In a woman's life is to
he childless. Who can tell how hard the
struggle may have been ere she learnt So
resign herself to her lonely lot? The ab
sence of this link to bind marital life
together, the absence of this one Died ire
to mutual affection is a common disap-
ointment. -Many unfortunate couples
ecome estranged thereby. Even if tney
do not drift apart, one may read the whole
extent of their disappointment in the eyes
of such a childless couple when they rest
on the children of others. To them the
largest family does not seem too numerous.
In many cases of barrenness or child
lessness the obstacle to child-bearing is
easily removed by the cure of weakness on
the part of the woman. Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite PrescriDtion has been the means of
restoring Health, and iruiuniness to many
a uarren woman, vo me great joy 01 tne
household. In other, bnt rare cases, the
obstruction to the bearing of children has
rieen ionna to ue 01 a surgical cnaractcr,
but easily removable by painless operative
treatment at the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., over which
Dr. Pierce of the "Favorite Prescription"
iame presides, m an cases. wnere cnii
dren are desired and are absent, an effort
snouid be made to hnd out the real cause,
since it is generally so easily removed by
proper treatment.
In all the various weaknesses, disrilace-
ments, prolapsus, inflammation and de-
OUitatmg, catarrnal drains and In all
cases of nervousness and debility, Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the most
efficient remedy that can possibly be used.
It has to its credit hundreds of thousands
of cures more in fact than any other
remedy put up for sale through druggists,
especially for woman's u;. The1 ingredi
ents 01 wnicn tne " avorite Prescription "
is composed have received the most
TinRitive endnrspmpnt .frnm t.lio l.nrHnf
medical writers on Materia Medica ot all
me' several scnoois 01 practice. All tne
ingredients are printed in plain English
on the wrapper enclosing the bottle, so
thaw any woman making use of this
famous medicine may know exactly what
she. Is taking. Dr Pierce takes his pa
tients into his full confidence, which ho
can afford to do as the formula after
which the "Favorite Prescription" is
made will bear the most' careful exam
ination, vt
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the
best and safest laxative for women.
If your stomach troubles you, do not con
clude that there is no cure; for a great many
have been permanenuy cured by Unamber-
lains btomach. and .Liver 1 ablets. lry
them; they are certain tt prove beneficial.
