' 11.-, 11 'S love: BY .A. WELL - KNOWN ARTICLE. WHAT IS MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN A MOTHER'S LOVE? ' MOTHER " A SO much has been fcritten by the standard medical au- thorities, of all the several schools of practice, in praise of the native, or American,, medicinal plants wliich enter into the composition of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, that in attempting to quote from the various works on Materia Medico, one hardly knows"wbere to commence, since they are so voluminous that only the briefest and most imperfect reference can be presented in a short article like this. Briefly then let us say that the "Golden Medical Dis covery" was named from the sturdy little plant Golden Seal, the root of which enters largely into its composition. Besides this most valuable ingredient, it contains glyceric extracts of Stone root, Queen's root, Black Cherrybark, Bloodroot and Mandrake root. Finley Ellingwood, M. D., an eminent practitioner of Chicago and Professor of Materia Medico, in the Bennett Medical College of that city, in his recently published work on Therapeutics, says of Golden Seal root : "It is the most natural of stimulants to the normal functions of digestion. Its influence upon the mucous surfaces renders it most im portant in catarrhal gastritis (inflammation of stomach) and gastric (stomach) ulceration." Many other authorities as well as Dr. Ellingwood extol the Hydrastis (Golden Seal), as a remedy -for catarrhal dis eases of the nasal passages, stomach, bronchia, gall ducts, kidneys, intestines and bladder. Among these, we may mention Prof. John King, M. D., author of the American Dispensatory; Prof. J. M. Scudder, M. D.f in his "Specific Medication" ; Dr. Hale of the Hahnemann Med. College of Chicago; Grover Coe, M. D., of New York, in his "Organic Medicines," Dr. Bartholow of Jefferson Med. College, Phila., and scores of other leading medical writers and teachers. All the foregoing eminent authorities extol the curative virtuesof Golden Seal in cases of stomach, liver and in testinal weakness, torpor and ulceration of bowels. Dr. Ellingwood recommends it most highly, "In those cases of atonic dyspepsia when the entire apparatus, including the liver, is stagnant and inoperative." He also extols it most highly in the many weaknesses and derangements peculiar to women and says, "It is a most important remedy in many disorders of the womb." Golden Seal root (Hydrastis), is an important ingredient of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion for weak, nervous, "run-down" women. But to return to the "Golden Medical Discovery" it may be said that its curative properties are not wholly de pendent upon Golden Seal, valuable as it is, as other equally potant ingredients add greatly to its value and in fact are not less important than the Hydrastis, or Golden Seal. In all bronchial, throat, lung and kindred ailments, Stone root, Black Cherrybark, Queen's root and Bloodroot, each plays as important a part in effecting the phenominal cures of "Golden Medical Discovery" as does Golden Seal. All these ingredients have the endorsement of prominent practitioners of' all schools of medicine for the cure of dis eases of the bronchia, throat a&d lungs. Of Queen's root, Prof. King says: "An alterative ( blood - purifier) unsurpassed by few if ah other" of the known alteratives. Most successful in skm and scrofulous affections ; beneficial in broochial affections ; penaaaently cures bronchitis; relieves irritations ; an important cocgh remedy; coughs of years' standing being cured ; aids' in blood-making and nutrition and nay be taken without harm for long periods." Queen's root, Golden Seal root, Stone root, Black Cherrybark and Bloodroot, all articles extolled by leading practitioners of all the -schools, as the very best of cough medicines, are made especially valuable when combined with chemically pure glycerine which greatly enhances the cura tive action of all these ingredients in all bronchial, throat and lung affections, severe coughs and kindred ailments. Who can doubt the efficacy of such a compound, when scientifically made up, as in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery? Who can doubt that it is a most effective rem edy for the several diseases for which its ingredients are so highly recommended by the formost writers on Materia Medico f It is in the cure of the more chronic or lingering, per sistent, and obstinate cases of bronchial, laryngial and lung affections, attended by hoarseness and severe cough, which if neglected or badly treated would generally have run into consumption, that "Golden Medical Discovery " has woh the highest praise from all who have observed its marvelous control over these and kindred affections. It is no cheap compound made-up of trashy ingredients for free distribu tion, that curious people may experiment upon themselves as with the many fake nostrums so commonly sent out as "trial bottles." It has a forty 3ear record, embracing many thousands of cures behind it, is sold at a reasonable price and may be found in all drug and medicine stores in this and many foreign countries. It will be seen from the above brief extracts how .well "Golden Medical Discovery" is adapted for the cure of all blood diseases, as, scrofulous and skin affections, eruptions, blotches, pimples and kindred ailments; also that it is equally good in all Catarrhal affections"no matter where seated, and for all cases of indigestion, or dyspepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness and as a tonic and invigorator in all manner of weaknesses, and in nervous debility and prostra tion the above extracts amply show. Much further information as to the properties and uses of "Golden Medical Discovery" and Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for weak women, will be found in a little book let of extracts 'from standard medical books which will be mailed free td any address on request, .by letter or postal ' card, sent to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. . All the several ingredients of Dr. Pierce's medicines will be found, from the reading of this little booklet, to have the strongest possible professional endorsements and recommendations for the cure of all the diseases for which these medicines are recommended. No other medicines for like purposes have any such endorsements. They are non alcoholic, non-secret, safe and reliable.

She sometimes, for gets her oki bodily discomforts because f. her over poweriHg love for the child. She becomes broken down, sleepless, nervoss, irritable and feels tired from morning -until night. Many Mothers of experience cart, tell you that at such a time they have been relieved, benefited and strengthened and put into proper health by taking a prescription which their mothers had told them was the best woman's tonic and nervine to be taken at such times. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has enjo3-ed an enviable reputation for oyer a third of a century. "la all that time it has sold wore largely in the United. States than any other tonic for woman's needs. Dr. Pierce made up this pre scriptioa from native medicinal roots without the use of a particle of alcohol and for the single purpose-of cunng those diseases peculiar to women and when there is a lack of womanly strength to bear the burdens of maternal duty. How few women-come to this critical time with adequate strength. The reason why so many women sink under the strain of motherhood is because they are unprepared. Is preparation then required for motherhood? asks the young woitt. And every experienced mother answers "Yes." "I unhesitatingly advise expectant mothers to' use Dr. Pierces Favorite Prescription," writes Mrs. J. W. G. Stephens, of Mila, Va. The reason for this advice is that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best prepara tive for the maternal function. No matter how healthy and strong a woman may be, she cannot use Favorite. Prescription " as a preparative for maternity without gain of health and comfort. But it is the women: who are not strong who best appreciate the great benefits received from the use- of "Favorite Prescription. J' For one thing its use makes the baby's advent comparatively painless. " It has in .many cases 'reduced days' of- altering to a, brief few hours. It has changed the period of anxiety and: Struggle into a time of ease and comfort. A DUTY WOMEN OWE THEMSELVES". "Good actions speak, louder than words," so, too does the testimony of many thousands of women during a third of century speak, louder than mere claims not backed by 4 any such record of cures. v Miss Emma Pett-, 1x26 S.- Olive Street, Indianapolis, Ind., Past Vice-President, Daughters of Pocahontas, Min .neola Council, also Organist, South Baptist Church, In dianapolis, writes: "For several years I suffered from female weakness, which was a serious drain on my vitality, sap ping my strength and causing severe headaches, bearing down pains and a'general worn-out feeling, until I really had no desire to live. I had many medicines recommended to me and tried many, but did not get permanent relief until I took Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. ' In tw months I was much better and stronger, and in four months I was well. Have had no more disagreeable discharge, no more pain; so J have every reason to praise Favorite Pre scription.' I consider it without an equal for ills of women." All the ingredients entering into Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription are printed in plain English on each bottle wrapper.. Dr. Pierce thereby shows that he is not afraid to ' tell his patients just what this medicine is made of. This is not- true of-any other medicine especially designed for the cure of woman's peculiar ailments. The "Prescription" is also the only woman's medicine sold through druggists that does not contain a large percentage of alcohol; it con tains not a drop. As an indication of the high esteem in which the medi cal profession are coming to regard the several ingredients of which Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, for weak, and ailing women is composed, we have room here to insert only the following: Dr. John Fyfe, of Saugatuck, Conn., Editor of the Department r of Therapeutics in The Eclectic Review says of Unicorn root Helonias Dioica) one of the chief in gredients of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription: "A remedy which invariably acts as a uterine invigorator and always favors a condition which makes for normal activity of the "entire reproductive system, cannot fail to be of great use fulness and of the utmost importance to the general practi tioner of medicine." "In Helonias we have a medicament which more fully" answers the above purposes than any other drug with which I ant acquainted. In the treatment of diseases peculiar to women it is seldom that a case is seen which does not present some indication for this remedial agent." "The following are among the leading indications for Helonias: Pain or aching in the back, with leucorrhcea; atonic (weak) conditions of the reproductive organs o! women, mental depression and irritability, associated with chronic diseases of the reproductive organs of women, constant sensation of heat in the region of the kidneyst menorrhagia ("flooding"), due to a weakened condition of the reproductive system; amenorrhcea, arising from or ac companying'an abnormal condition of the digestive organs and an anaemic (thin blood) habit; dragging sensations ia the extreme lower part of the abdomen." If more or less of the above symptoms are present, no invalid woman can do better than take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, one of the leading ingredients of which" it Unicorn root, or Helonias.

Mr. Duniway und other mem bers of the state ticket. Before the committee held Its nrst meeting yesterday morning it appeared that George A. Steel would bo the choice for the chairmanship. His name had been agreed upon by many of the can didates, as well as a portion of the com mittee members. Then objections began to be heard, mpst of them based upon the fact that Mr. Stecf Is the Republican nominee for State Treasurer, and that a nominee should not till the chairmanship. It was also rumored that opposition to Steel had come irom the Bourne ramp, where It was understood that the day before there was only acquiescence. Selection of Wcstgate.

"I not only hope that we shall have perfect har mony throughout the campaign, but I know that we shall." he said. ' The committee on platform reported that it had not had sufficient time to complete its work, but that It would probably be ready to report early in the week. The matter of holding rati fication conventions was also consid ered, and the general sense of the com mittee seemed to be that mass meet ings in the various counties would be preferable to a state convention.

Miss Laugblln de scribed the conditions In the stricken city and the efficient work Dr. Mac kenzie and his corps are doing.

"Before leaving Tuesday night we walked to the ferry umld the ruin?, conveyances being hard to get. Through all that district the fire was still raging- among the debris. In places there were regular furnaces of fire. We kept to the middle of the street, so as to avoid the falling walls and half burnt telegraph and telephone poles. We tried to walk on the side walk in one place, but found that so hot that we had to take to the road way again. This was after the rains we had during parts of Sunday and Monday nights. It was dark when we reached the ferry. The only lights In the city of San Francisco were the tires still burning-, but they were still brilliant enough to light up a large section of the waterfront district. It was a gruesome scene, with the mass of people in the totally dark ferry house. The lights of the approaching ferryboat looked very good to us. "Any description of the rufnR of San Francisco Is beyond words. It was hard for us to get over the sense of unreality of feellnK that we were not walking among the ruins of some an .clent city that had been dead for n thousand years.
