RECORD-BREAKING CARGO
IXDRAFURA HAS FREIGHT VALUED
AT OVER $375,000.
Carries Xcarly Eight Thousand Tons
of Flour, Gotton, Sheeting and
Miscellaneous Freight.
The Portland & Asiatic liner Indrapura
cleared at the Custotn-House yesterday
with the largest and most valuable car
go that has ever left Portland. It con
sisted of nearly 8000 tons of flour, cot
ton, sheeting, potatoes, apples, beer and
miscellaneous merchandise, and the total
value was $575,822 90. The steamer carried
the largest consignment of cotton and the
largest consignment of sheeting that have
ever left the port, and a consignment of
49.541 barrels of flour was not far behind
the record for single shipments of that
commodity. The port of Kobe has quite
a prominent place on the manifest, there
being 3000 bales of cotton, 4400 barrels of
flour, and a lot of apples for that port
Hong Kong as usual secures the greater
part of the flour space, there being for
that port 34.401 barrels, valued at $103,203.
For the same port there are 145 cases of
beer, seven boxes of apples and two pack
ages of butter.
For Yokohama there were 9990 barrels of
flour, 370 bales of cotton and six boxes
of apples. The big shipment of sheeting
was for Shanghai, and the contents of
the 1365 bales amounted to considerably
over 1.000,000 yards. In addition to this
prominent item on the manifest, Shanghi
was represented by a lot of machinery,
drugs and apples. A prominent leature
of the shipment on board for Manila
was 500 crates of potatoes. For Macan
there was apples, dried prunes, soda crack
ers and confectionery, and Amoy will re
ceive cereals, preserves, cakes, cotton
goods and apples. Six hundred bales of
the cotton Is for Moji, and that port
receives 250 barrels of flour. Nagasaki
has 500 barrels of flour.
The Indrapura finished loading late last
evening, and will go down the river at
daylight this morning, drawing nearly
24 feet of water, and will not lighter a
pound of cargo. In spite of her slight
mishap in getting out of the channel
a few days ago, the Indrapura Is only
one day behind her schedule, and has
been in port but ten days. In that time
she discharged an inward cargo of nearly
5000 tons and loaded full outward, a total
amount of over 12,000 tons of cargo being
handled on her In ,the ten" days in which
she was in port. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer,
under date of November 28, printed
the following as a "special' from Port
land: "The O. R. & N. liner Indrapura is hard
aground in the channel opposite the flour
ing mills, a short distance below the steel
bridge. She lies across the channel, and
although two river steamers have been
trying all day to float her, she still re
mains in the same position as when she
struck. A high tide and lightering will
be necessary to get her out of the soft
mud.
"The Indrapura is headed for Hong Kong.
She is loaded with flour and general mer
chandise. She was ready to start on her
voyage some time ago, but the low water
prevented hor. The recent heavy rains
caused the river to rise somewhat, and
this morning a river steamer attempted
to take her to Astoria. In swinging
around she grounded, and despite all ef
forts could not be moved. The major part
of the cargo has already been lightered
to Astoria,"
It would be a difficult matter to crowd
more falsehood into an Item than appears
in the above. The Indrapura was not
aground "in the channel." The Indrapura
was not loaded when the accident hap
pened, was not ready to start on her
vnyage, and was not prevented by low ra
ter. No attempt was made by a river
steamer to take her to Astoria, and not a
pound of her cargo was lightered to As
toria. As a monumental liar, the manu
facturer of the Post-Intelligencer's spe
cials from. Portland Is a grand success.
LIABILITY OF STOWAWAYS.
Ships Arc Not Responsible for Debts
Incurred ly Them.
Judge Hanford, of the United States
Court, has handed down a. decision to the
effect that a ship is not responsible for
Its stowaways. Two doctors of Aberdeen
libeled the schooner Laura Madsen to
enforce the payment of an amount they
claimed to be due them for medical at
tendance upon a stowaway who was hurt
on board the schooner. The stowaway
had been compelled to sign the ship's
articles, but was not required to work.
However, he made himself handy and
while hauling on the braces he fell on
the deck and received severe injuries.
When the schooner arrived at Aberdeen
Drs. Scammel and Obermeyer treated the
stowaway. The court decides that It is
Immaterial whether the captain induced
the doctors to care for the Injured man
or not. Just what the ship is liable for
is expressed in the following extract from
Judge Hanford's decision:
"It is a principle of maritime law that
a chip is liable f$r necessary medical
treatment and expenses incident to the
cure of seamen who become ill or suffer
injuries in its service, but in this case
the man who was injured imposed him
self upon the vessel, and neither the ves
sel, her owners nor master owed him any
duty, except to give him humane treat
ment while he necessarily remained on
board. He came to Aberdeen as a waif
from the sea, helpless and destitute, and
having no claim upon any particular in
dividual, and was necessarily a public
charge or an object of private charity.
The captain of the ship, however, was not
authorized to pledge the ship for the ex
penses of his cure or maintenance as an
act of charity. The authority of the cap
tain of a ship to pledge the credit of the
ship is limited by necessity.
"In procuring things that are necessary
to preserve the ship and enable her to
proceed upon her voyage his authority Is
ample, but he has no authority to enter
into any contract which can be enforced
by suit in rem. not required to make his
ship seaworthy, or to meet his obligations
as a carrier or to her crew. The act of
signing a ship's articles at sea under com
pulsion did not attach the stowaway to
the vessel, nor create any obligation dif
ferent from what necessarily arose from
the fact of his being on board ' "by his
own voluntary and wrongful act."
THE KEIIANI AFLOAT.
Snnken Steamer Brought to the Sur
face With But Little Difficulty.
Captain O. W. Hosford succeeded in
raising his sunken steamer Kehanl with
but little difficulty, and the craft Is now
on the ways near Ross Island" In this
city undergoing repairs. A couple of
scows were run alongside of the sunken
craft, and after chains were drawn under
her hull, she was jacked up to where the
centrifugal pumps could get to work, and
the rest was easy. She came up to Port
land under her own steam, and after a
brief spell on the drydock will be as
good as new. The barge which was dam
aged at the same time was also brought
up to Portland for repairs. The accident
is said to have been caused by piles cut
off beneath the surface of the water,
there being no fender piles or other safe
guard to prevent a steamer drifting on
top of them.
THE LINE THAT FAILED.
Why the Opposition Steamer to As
toria Never Turned a Wheel.
The Astoria papers announce that the
subsidy seeking steamer Astorian has re
tired to the peeluston of Young'-s River
anchorage. The movement recently inaug
urated for the establishment of an inde
pendent steamer to Portland suddenly
stopped, and the reason thereof is thus
explained by a ,man in close touch with
the Astoria transportation business. When
the matter of putting on the new boat
had reached a stage where pledges were
being made, guaranteeing a certain
amount of freight, a representative of the
lines now running on the river went down
and interviewed the prime movers in the
enterprise. After they had informed him
that the new line would be a "go,' he
said:
"Gentlemen, you have a perfect right
to run as many lines of steamboats as
you see fit, but I wish to inform you that
as soon as your boat starts on the route
to Portland the fare will be reduced o
10 cents, a.nd freight to 25 cent3 per ton.
You have had some experience in re
duced rates, and if you want more of it,
start up your opposition steamer."
The recollections of the last rate-war
were too fresh in the minds of the As
torlans, and the project for a new line
vanished.

CONDENSED MILK TRUST.
Movement Under "Way to Combine
Companies,
NEW YORK, Nov. 29. According to the
Journal of Commerce, the Borden Con
densed Milk Company, whose capital stock
heretofore has been $20,000,000, all com
mon, of which 517,500,000 has, it is under
stood, been issued, Intends to Issue $3,750,
000 preferred stock. This new Issue of
preferred stock is being made for the pur
pose of absorbing several concerns which
are now competitors of the Borden Com
pany. It Is understood that the Borden
concern is anxious to advance the price
of the product, Inasmuch as the cost of,
the raw material and tin cans has In
creased. Considerable reticence Is observed by
all interested in the new deal. Rumors,
however, connected the names of several
concerns with the proposed combination.
The Cory Condensed Milk Company and
the Wisconsin Condensed Milk Company
were prominently mentioned as among
the concerns likely to enter. Others also
mentioned were the Mohawk Company,
and the Walker Gorden Laboratory Com
pany, but a denial came from the for
mer and nothing could be learned from
the latter. The New York Condensed
Milk Company was still another corpo
ration rumored as going into the combine,
but It is believed that practically all the
stock of this concern Is already owned
by the Borden Condensed Milk Com
pany. The combine may possibly assume an
mternatlonal character, as condensed milk
is exported and there are some important
companies on the other side. It is learned
that the Borden Condensed Milk Company
some time ago was seeking control of a
London plant that turns out a large
amount of the product. The proposed? in
crease in capital of $3,750,000 In the shape
of preferred stock Is believed In con
densed milk circles to be only the prelude
to a still larger Increase In the future.

LANDS OF THE INDIANS
ALLOTMENT PRIVILEGES . FRE
QUENTLY UNSATISFACTORY.
Better Supervision of. Netv Leases on
Sorthwestern Reservations
Idaho and Washington.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 28. In his annual
report Secretary Hitchcock, of the De
partment of the Interior, refers to certain
Indian affairs that are of special Interest
In the Northwest. Thege are the fol
lowing: Allotments of Lands.
By an act of Congress approved Febru
ary 28, 1891, provision was made for leas
ing allotments for farming or grazing
for a term not exceeding three years, or
ten years for mining purposes, when It
ahould "be made to appear to the Sec
retary of the Interior that, by 'reason of
age or other disability, any allottee of
Indian lands under the provisions of the
said act or treaty cannot personally and
with benefit to himself occupy or Im-
o

-$"-----
prove his allotment or any part thereof,"
upon such terms, regulations and condi
tions' as shall bo prescribed by the Sec
retary. This provision was modified, by the act
of August 15, 1S94, the term being ex
tended to five years for farming or
grazing, leasing for business purposes
for a term of ten years being also author
ized as well as for mining, and the word
"inability" was Inserted, and the law
made to read "by reason of age, disabil
ity, or inability."
Further modification was made by the
act of June 7, 1S37, by omitting the word
"inability" and changing the periods to
three and five years, respectively.
By the act of March 1, 1899, the Indians
of the Yakima Reservation were author
ized to lease their allotted lands for agri
cultural purposes for not exceeding live
years, and by the act of May 31, 1900,
these Indians were authorized to lease
"unimproved" allotted lands, for agri
cultural purposes, for any term not ex
ceeding ten years, upon terms and condi
tions to be prescribed by the Secretary of
the Interior.
Also by the same act, the word "In
ability" was restored, and the term for
farming leases extended to five years.
"The leasing of allotments is therefore
limited to three years for grazing and
five for farming, mining, or business pur
poses, except as to the Yaklmas, who
may lease their "unimproved allotted"
lands for agricultural purposes for "any
term not exceeding ten years."
With the view of Increasing the bene
fits to be derived by Indian allottees from
the leasing of their lands, the depart
ment, on July 16, 1900, determined that
future leases should provide for some
specific Improvement, such as clearing
and brealting of new land, erection of
fences, barns, and other necessary
permanent improvements, the character
and value of which should be specifically
stated in the lease; such substantial
benefits being regarded as much more
essential to the interests of the allottee
than all money payment for rent would
be.
Under date of January 4, 1901, the at
tention of the Indian Bureau was called
to the fact that the majority of the leases
executed under the above-mentioned pro
visions of law did not sufficiently show
the disability of the Indian allottee .or
his inability to occupy or improve his
allotment, and directions were given that
all leases thereafter submitted for de
partment action should show clearly the
nature and extent of the disability or in
ability of Ihe Indian owner of the land;
If from old age, the exact or approxi
mate age and physical condition should
be given, etc.
Changes in Leasing System.
In view of the changes in the system
of leasing, as indicated, the rules and
regulations governing the same, approved
September 22, 1894, were found to have
become practically obsolete, and instruc
tions were given the Indian Office, under
date of June 7, 1901, to formulate a set
of new rules and regulations to conform
generally to the lines followed by the
department In Its action ofT leases during
the eight or ten months Immediately pre
ceding that date.
Although the act of May 31, 1900, above
referred to, permitted the leasing of the
Yakima (unimproved) lands for the period
of ten years, the department has not
heretofore deemed It advisable to ap
prove such leases for more than five
years; but In. view of numerous appli
cations for the ten-year leases the appli
cants claiming that the long term was
necessary because of great expense for
clearing, fencing, irrigating, etc. an In
spector was directed to investigate the
conditions on the Yakima Reservation
and report as to the wisdom or neces
sity of long-term leases in these cases.
His report (received since the end of tho
fiscal year) shows that leases of these
lands for the maximum term provided by
the act would not be advisable or bene
ficial to the Ipdlans except In a few spe
cial cases. He recommended, however,
that the Yakima lands be classified for
leasing purposes, and this is now being
done under authority of the department.
Until the last year, as previously in
dicated. It was almost Impossible to ob
tain full facts upon which to determine
the actual status of allottees whose lands
were-being leased, and many leases werp
made which doubtless should have been
wholly rejected or the terms for which
the leases were to run curtailed, many
leases having been made for two and
three-year periods, and in some instances
for five years. Under the present sys
tem, inaugurated more than a. year ago,
end the rules and regulations recently
adopted for the government of the leas
ing of allotments the department is more
fully Informed of the facts in each case
presented. and -cdnsequently Is better able I
to supervise and control where- before i
action was necessarily taken with some
doubt as to its propriety. But notwith
standing the limitations upon leasing al
lotments, it is felt that manyallettees
whose cases technically come within the
provisions of the law as to "disability
and "inability" are permitted to lease
who, being able, should, by strict con-
structlon of the law, be required to re- j
main upon and work their allotments, as
was evidently intended by Congress when
it enacted the "general allotment act,"
under the terms of which most allot-
ments have been made. By special leg- i
Islatlon, however, the provisions of that
act have been modified and the present
system has grown up, in a measure put
ting a premium upon idleness, and in a
good many Instances an end to all In
dustrial progress.
ainst First Cultivate.
Many protests against the system have
been received and more stringent rules
recommended, to the end that able-bodied
allottees shall be required to at least
cultivate or make usesfor grazing of a
portion of their allotments before being
permitted to lease any part thereof.
The matter is now under consideration
and further rules will be formulated, In
future confining- full leasing privileges to
those whose "disability" or "inability,"
--C- oo
to be clearly and conclusively shown, ac
tually disqualifies them from working
any part of their allotments, and in a
lesser degree to those whoso "disability"
or "inability," also to be fully and con
clusively shown, may be such as to pre
vent them from working more than a
small portion of their allotments, such
part to be regulated and determined by
the aqtual conditions; all others to be
required to work at least 40 acres of their
allotments. -
In the last two Instances the allottees
will be permitted to receive a portion of
percentage of the income from the rental
of their allotments, to enable them to
make a start either in .stack raising or
agriculture and for-general improvements,
the remainder to be retained until the ex
piration of the lease period, when they
will be better qualified to make proper
use of the same.
The Northvrest Indians.
The appraisement of the improvements
of Indians on the ceded lands of the Fort
Hall (Idaho) reservation, who elected to
remove therefrom to the diminished re
serve, provjded by the act of June b
1900 (31 Stat., G72), was completed
during the year, and allotments were
made to Indians who had located and de
cided to remain on the ceded lands. The
total appraised value of the Improvements
Is .$5551 50, belonging to 23 Indian heads
of families, and 717.17 acres were allotted
to 90 allottees.
The removal of the Wenatcble Indians,
Washington, to the Colvllle reservation
failed because the undertaking proved
to be greater than anticipated, and con
sequently a more expensive one. The
matter will be brought to the attention
of the next Congress. ..
INDIANS AND ANIMALS.
Should Be Made Important "Exhibits
at 1U05 Fair. ,
SALEM, Nov. 29. (To the Editor.)
Leave the selection of th'e site for holding
the Lewis and Clark Fair to the local
committee, In regard ttf the make-up ot
which the suggestion Is ventured that the
City of Vancouver ough't to have a repre
sentation thereon.
It seems to the writer that those Inter
ested in making it attractive' and instruc
tive or those who are or can be interested
In the further development of this "Oregon
of ours" (and by that I mean the Oregon
of President Jefferson's day) should begin
now to consider in. what we .can excel,
and to take measures to prepare for the
best possible exhibits in the iines of in
dustry that past comparisons with the
world's products of the same kinds gives
us reason to believe we can yet excel.
A world's want from ua is our forest
products; and It seems to me that in rrtak-
mg the best exhibit possible in that, a 4
double purppse of economy in building for
the fair and proof of the excellence of the
natural supply of our woods will be one
of our best exhibits.
At the interstate fair held, at Omaha
the one piece of limber 60 feet in length
attracted moro attention than any other
item of our show there, and brought In
creased commerce In timber to Oregon
Immediately.
At our National Centennial we received
awards on our wheat, wool and fiax fibers.
At the recently jclostd Pan-American Fair
We seem to have received so many medals
as to suggest the question to our stay-at-
homes as to what the rest of the world Is
doing, especially In horticulture. Four
vears turn otip fnrmwr nf Morinn rv,,.T,tv
years ago one farmer of Marlon County
mado such an exhibit from his own farm
and home as to cause an observant farm-
er's wife from Iowa to doubt whether
any single farm could produce such a
range and excellence of products, and she
visited the farm the next season to satisfy
herself that the show had been honest and
could be added to from the same land.
Wo cannot vie with communities that
are 200 years older In opportunities and
C
i
Wealth than we are. Our buildings should
illustrate, not their cost,, but the wealth'
of our structural timber. I most heartllyi
agree with Professor F. G. Young ,that
the ethnology of the Northwest Paclric
should receive great attention. We shoflla
have a full show of all the wild animals,
man Included, with samples of foods or at
least chief food plants the latter used,
and his clothing materials. To this might
be added specimens of the domesticated
animals and of the men and women who
have superseded the native race and
ameliorated the condition of its remnants
perhaps too much.
Every man and woman having their
homes west of the Rocky Mountains owe
to civilization their contributions toward
Illustrating the changes wrought since the
Lewis and Clark party found the way to
the Pacific by running a gauntlet of star
vation, and owed the incident of their dis
covery of the Willamette or Multnomah"
River to an enforced delay to hunt for or
purchase food for a 10 days' subsistence,
to enable them to reach their horses,
with the upper Ncz Perces, as they had
learned that the natives In the country
they had to pass were In distress for food,
It being the season between the exhaustion
of the previous season's salmon harvest
and arrival of a new run.
Just having laid. down The Daily- Ore
gonian of late date after reading the State
Fish Warden's report, the question arises,
Cannot the white man beat the native or
Lewis and Clark's day, not only In pre
serving the salmon food supply for mar
ket, but show to visitors we hope to have
that we can Increase the quantity and Im
prove the quality of fish from, our grand
river, as we have the meats from the
land?
Further, It goe3 without saying that
breeding of domestic animal, which have
superseded the buffalo, elk, antelope,
mountain sheep and the various kinds ot
deer, will not only make an exhibit to as
tonish the natives, were any left astonlsn
able, but Interest our visiting friends from
Canada and Britain as well.
In addition to the economy to us In us
lng our superb forest product In build
ing structures not designed to remain af
ter the Fair, could we not establish a sal
mon hatchery near by say at Oregon
City using one' or two largo barges,
moored to a point under the falls, whence
a flow of water could be had In constant
streams, In Humes, breeding-boxes, eye
ing cteterns and feeding ponc3 even, so
that visitors from a distance, as well as
our own people, could visit and be In
structed as well as Interested In pro
cesses as easily learned as silk produc
tion, how to make an acre of water pro
duce more food than live acres ot land.
1 do not forget the ethnological lesson
which may be taught at the same time and
place. Native men and women who can
manage a oanoe below the falls of the
Willamette and strike salmon with a llsh
spear or take a heavy salmon In a dip-net
from the foaming Hood are no longer res
idents at the falls; but they can yet be,
and ought to be obtained. Real native
and live Illustrations of the conditions ot
human life, much, as It was 100 years ago,
should be present If possible. I think
there are yet men and women at the
Warm Springs reservation who could il
lustrate both spear and dip-net fishing, as
well as horseback hunting on the barren
ground, on Mule Deer, and while It is past
time for seeing the spirited picture of the
native woman renowlng the glorious free
dom of her girlhood as Thomas N. Strong
describes Mrs. James Burnie, of Cathel
amct, If the managers of our. great Fair
cannot get a Chinook canoe on all the
Northwest Coast, there are still large
cedar trees and white men who have rid
den the waves with the Burnio family,
and a good copy could now be got out in
not many more days than it took years in
the days of Chenamus.
In concluding the foregoing suggestions
I wish to thank Mr. Kuykendal for his
spirited lecture recently In Tho Oregonian,
and say apropos of the erection of pavil
ions of trees rather than ot drcpsed lum
ber, our friends on the north advertised

FOREST GROVE. Nov., 27. To the
Editor.) In The Oregonian mention was
made of a cluster of ripe raspberries
brought to The Oregonian office as being
something remarkable for this season of
the year.
Allow me to state that our table has
been well supplied with luscious raspber
ries, nicer even than the first crop In
Summer, ever since the last of October up
to tho present time, and yet they come
well-formed, green and ripe ones. Our
family consists of six persons, so you
may know that we have consumed a good
many quarts of berries. We have also sent
berries to our sick friends.
The bushes did not grow against the
fence, either, but out in the open. Tally
one for Forest Grove.

"Gentlemen: When iftrst entered my
proiessionai career I had trouble with
tny throat and voice. I could not find
anything to cure me until my doctor
recommended 'DR. BULL'S COUGIT
UiUJ.v Since that time I have used
it exclusively, and am hnppy to -say that
am perfectly free from all couchs and
colds, and J am never troubled with.;
hoarseness, notwithstanding the fact,
that 1 have to play itt two performanc?s ,

Summer at the Shore and Sum
mer in tho Store,
It is sometimes remarked that the re
quirements of society entail as much
hard work upon a woman as she would
perform in office or in store. That mtry
be true. The woman who dances the
night through may travel more miles
than are walked by the woman behind
the counter. Her social obligations mav
be-as exacting as business duties. But if
the society woman dances all night, she
can sleep all day. If her calls must be
duly paid, she has her carriage in which
o drive. She is not at the mercy of an
alarm clock in the morning, or of store
routine during the day. And, above all,
after the round of winter gayeties, there's
the sea shore for the summer, with its
freedom and its health giving ocean
bree2es. The chances of health are all
in favor of the girl that goes to the shore
and all against the girl that stays in the
store.
SUMMER. IN THE GITV
is unendurable, says society with it3
luxurious surroundings. What must
summer in a city store be? At the best
it is trying to nerves and temper. The
long, languid days, the oppressive atmo
sphere, the monotonous round of duties
are all trying. And when to this is ad
ded womanly weakness, the condition is
well-nigh unbearable. And yet it must
be borne for money must be earned if
life is to be sustained.
Every working woman owes it to her
self to bring her physical health to the
highest standard of excellence not only
because it increases her happiness, but
also because it increases her earning ca
pacity. It is a cruel fact that the floor
walker has, as a rule, no sympathy with
the backache and weakness which impel
a woman to seek an occasional moment's
rest for her aching back, if only by lean
ing rigidly against the shelves behind
her.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
makes weak women strong and sick
women well. Hundreds of thousands of
women have testified to this fact.
w I write a few lines to thank you for
your advice and grand remedies, to which
I owe my health, and perhaps my life,"
says Miss Flora I. Greer, of 107 Howe
Street, Akron, Ohio. wMy troubles
started during my childhood but did not
prove serious until 1S93, when I met with
an accident caused by a horse running
away. From that time I did not see a
well day. I suffered at every monthly
period with terrible headache, irritation
of the spine and pains in my heels so I
could not bear them resting on the soft
est pillow. What I suffered pen could
never describe. I had soreness through
my hips and ovaries all the time and con
stantbackache. Was afraid to be alone,
imagined that everyone hated me, and
everything looked like a mountain. One
doctor would tell me one thing ailed me,
another would say something altogether
different, but they only relieved me.

ihe advice of a neighbor, and followed
yor advice irora April to- July. I took
five bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription and four of 'Golden Medical
Discovery' and five vials of 'Pellets.'
Have not had a single symptom of my
old trouble so far. Can sleep good
nights, work hard, and can eat solid and
substantial food without jlistress. There
are several of my friends taking your
medicines with the best results since
they have seen: how they helped me."
WORK IS PLEASURE
when you are well and strong ; you then
go to work with the joy of doing. Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription will mak"e
you strong and well if your ailments are
within the compass of medicine to cure.
It establishes regularity, dries the drains
that weaken women, heals inflammation
and ulceration, and cures female weak
ness. It cures headache, backache, dizzi
ness and other conse
quences of womanly
f ills. It promotes the
- appetite, soothes the
nerves and induces re
freshing -sleep.
"I feel it a duty to
inform you that I had
been a sufferer for
manj j-ears from nerv
ousness with all its
symptoms and compli
cations," writes Mrs.
O. N. Fisher, of 1S61
Lexington Ave., New
York, N. Y. I was
constantly going to see
a physician or purchas
ing medicine for this
or that complaint as
my troubles became un
bearable. In the spring
of 1S97 my husband
induced me to try Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription. After taking one bottle and
following your advice I was so encour
aged that I took five moTe bottles of
Favorite Prescription ' and then I did
not take any more for several weeks as I
felt so much better, but still I was not
completely aired. I commenced taking
it again and felt that I was improving
faster than at first. I am not now cross
and irritable, and I have a good color in
my face j have also gained about ten
pounds in weight and one thousand
pounds of comfort, for I am a new
woman once more and your advice and
your Favorite Prescription ' are the
cause .of it, coupled with the 'Pleasant
Pellets,' which are not to be dispensed
with. I took eight bottles of the ' Pre
scription ' the last time, making fourteen
in' all, and will not take any more unless
you so advise, for I do not see as I
need it.
UI have told my friends how I was
cured, and have been no little surprised
to learn how many of them used Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription with great
benefit. I have induced several to try
and have .heard that they were much
pleased with results."
