Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
Is tbe best of all medicines for the cure of diseases,

only preparation of its kind devised by a regularly gradu

- the diseases of women.
It is a safe medicine in any condition of tbe system.
THE ONE REMEDY which contains no alcohol
nd no injurious habit-forming drugs and which
creates no craving for such stimulants.
THE ONE REMEDY so jjood that its makers
re not afraid to print its every ingredient on
each outside bottle wrapper and attest to the
truthfulness of the same under oath.
It is sold by medicine dealers everywhere, and any dealer who hasn't it can
get it. Pon't take a substitute of unknown composition for this medicine of
inotn composition. No counterfeit is as good as the genuine and the druggist
who says something else is "just as good os Dr. Tierce's" is cither mistaken
or is trying to deceive you for his own selfish benefit. Such a man is not to be

The Third Assistant Postmaster-General,
in ills annual report, shows tlint

tlie Government over $42.."44.0i0. At

mous, particularly when compared with
the stirtemcnt of total receipts and ex
penditures of the Postoffice Depart
ment. The1 f ranking prlvileRO 1ms heen crit
icised freely ever since it came into
use. It Is often the case that nnes-tionj-bie
use of it by members of Con
gress has aroused fresh opposition.
Jt is startling-, at letist. to find an out
lay for free transmission through tlie
United States mails ngsrreBatitijr an
amount equal to more than one-fifth
of the- total expenditures of the Post
office Department. It mifiht be a good
thins: if some Inquiry were mnde to
discover what abuses, If any, exist.
Tlie report on franked mall Is ac
companied by a statement of outliy of
J57.O00..IO0 for uncompensated service
In tlie handliiiK and transporting; of
second-class matter of publishers of
newspapers and periodicals. The rata
on such matter is low. because it is
counted of distinct value to the people.
The same thin"; Is true of tons of mall
sent out from Washington, -phe dis
tribution thronch tlie liepartment of
Agriculture, for example, must be
heavv Rut the educational value to
the country at large of the reports and
documents given wklo circulation Is
undoubted.
The probability is that the Investi
gation of abuses would yield little.
There may be some Congressmen who
use the frank too freely. But tlie
larger part of the outlays, considered
from the standpoint of tlie diffusion of

be regarded as desirable. Chicago
