SWEPT BY A CYCLONE
Of approbation to the plnnicle of popu
larity, Hotuetter's Stornach Bitters
has acquired a commanding position,
which has occasionally made a bright
and shining mark for knaves, who seek
to foist upon the community spurious
compounds in the guise akin to that of
the real article. These are mostly lo
cal bitters or tonics of great impurity,
and, of course, devoid of medicinal
elllcacy. Beware of them and get the
genuine Bitters, a real remedy for malaria-
rhpumaitism. kidney trouble, dys
pepsia, nervousness, constipation and
biliousness. Physicians of eminence
everywhere commend the groat invig
orant, for both Its remedial properties
and its Durity. A wineglassful thrice a
day will soon bring vigor and regular
ity to a disordered ana enteeDiea sye
tern.
"But evil Is wrough toy want of
thought.
As well as want of thought."
By want of -thought mothers allow
daughters to (become rrau ana puny.
Over-study in jrirls Induces uterine dis
orders and weaknesses, and Ib'.lghta
their future happiness as wives and
mothers. Joined to proper hygienic
care, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
is a priceless remedy In such ailments,
its value be-omintf even more apparent
every vear. Using it, the wan. deblli
tated school girl gains color, flesh and
ppirits, lnsina; those deathly heada-hes
tormentlntr baikafhea. lanruor, dejec-
Hon, and other symptoms of functional
Irregularities and nervous debility. It
never harms the most delicate girl.

The Farallone is their only competitor,

The reduction was met by the Pacific
