The Giant Despair. One of the most hor- i , I '1 : rible things about the I J' nervous diseases to which F ' F rv( women are peculiarly overwhelmine despair which they bring upon the mind. A woman's mental conamon is AimMyn ntid rinwerfullv affected bv fc'l' .:!.., tin. Hf'lipnfp Bnprial wiy awm-ov v v. .-, nrrans of her sex. Such a difficulty not only racks her body with pain and suf fering but burdens her with mental anguish which words can hardly describe. Thousands of women have had a similar experience to that of Mrs. Eurath A. Williams, of Wcstport, Oldham Co., Ky., in which the use of Dr. Pierce's wonderful "Favorite Prescription," by imparting health and strength to the feminine organ ism, has not only restored complete vigor and capacity lo the bodily powers but has also given renewed brightness and buoy ancy of spirit. " I suffered for over a year," says Mrs. Williams, "with indigestion and nervous prostration. I was unable to eat or sleep. I tried several phys icians, but they only helped me for a short time. friend advised me to take Dr. Pierce's Favorite cription, Dr. 'Pierce's Golden Medical Dis and ' Pellets,' I commenced taking the ie last May. Took three bottles of the te Prescription,' three of the ' Golden Discovery,' and three vials of the ' Pel am now feeling better than I have for Have a good appetite, sleep well, uffer from kidigeatlon or nervous gained seven and a half pounds these medicines.

The North lJaoiflu ltural Spirit of March 2 says: Extremely prosperous conditions exist in the wool market, and optimists in the trade are positive that higher prices and an increased demand will continue this year. There has been a steady rise in the prices of all grades of the finer wools and in many of the wools whioh are known as "medium" during the last 12 months, says the New York Evening Post. At the olose of August, 1809, wool was cheaper than it had been for nearly 20 years in the markets of Amerioa. On the lt of January, 1899, Australian combing, wbioh is, all things oonsidered, the finest commercial wool grown, bad advanced from 42 to 65 oents, a gam of more ibua 50 per ceut. At the beginning of lust December, aooording to thoroughly authentio figures, the siime wool quoted at 75 oents, a gain of over 100 per cent. This in Httainst a price of 70 cents pound wbioh existed at the beginning of 18;)!1, wbioh time was oonsidered the "bonanza" period by wool men. On the prices of "Kentuoky quarter blood, oleuti," which Is the staple among what are known as the "medium" wools of Amurioan origin, prices were as follows: Juuimry, 1893, 40 cents; Anguat, 181)0, 25 oents; January, 1899, 88 ceDts; Dec. 1, 1899, 11 cents, a gain of CO per oent. It will be noted iu this case thut the wool bus not yet reached the figures which it coiniimuJuJ iu 1893, a fact whioh serves as a text for the bulls of the wool market. The mtuntion shown by those com parisons is due to a curious combination of oirouuiHliiuces which, acoording to a local wool dealer who has seen 25 years of wool trading and is therefore qualified to speak underBtaudingly of the past, is practically unique. The obief govern ing fotor is the situation abroad. The gain iu the price of wools in the last London auction was about 20 per oent on the average over preyious quotations. Fine wools, snob as are - produced in Australia, South Afrioa and South America, showed the heaviest gain, on acoouut of the extreme soarcity of the supply. The shortage iu production in Australia last year was estimated at 143,000,000 pounds, due principally to droughts. Inoldoutally it is as serted by the National Association of t " -I 1 V ;: 1 UN EQUALLED AS A yt fH M HHHHHlllillUi llllllll UNEQUALLED AS if Awusmjm f Mm I Ji II VvY) Jvu If ill! m&mmmrnsmam JwxliSik If TU Is, f .... 1!

Wool maonfacturea that there will be further shortage this year at over 100, 000,000 pounds. In South America there wag a shortage of about 107,000,000 pounds last year. The Amerloon olip last year was 272, 000,000 pouods, or 53,000,000 pounds less than it was iu 1891, and the best esti mates made for this spring show a prob able inorease of only 10,000,000 pouods, so that there will be very little gain here to offset the foreign shortage. The second important oondition and the one wbioh makes the situation a peouiwr one is the heavy demand for goods whioh is beginning to be appar ent and which will undoubtedly be the leading feature of the spring baying. A successful manafacturer of woolen goods reoently in the city said that after a thorough canvass of the jobbing and manufacturing markets he was convincd that the country is practically bare of heavyweight woolen goods. This is the class of goods wbioh the mills are about to begin work upon nod of whioh the heaviest orders are registered about this time. It is extremely improbable that American mills will be able to manu facture more than 65 to 75 per oent of Ibe woolens which will be oalled for. A manafacturer of olothing, when questioned about possible advanoes in priop, said that there might be a saving effeoted by the use of shoddies and other substitutes for wool, but be thought this would not be feasible, be cause it was becoming harder every year to sell anything but all wool goods to the average American. In time shoddy olotbicg and shoddy pieoe goods would become important articles of export, but the tendency from now on would be to do away with tbem as articles of mer chandise for domestic consumption.

All doctors told Reniok Hamilton, of WeBt Jefferson, O., after suffering 18 months from rectal fistula, he would die unless a costly opeurtion was performed; but he cured himself with five boxes of Bucklen's Arnioa Salve, the surest pile oure on earth, and the best salve in the world. 25 oents a box.
