That old copybook maxim finds Its most forceful application in the waste of vitality, which is called "burning the candle at both ends." A woman is often tempted beyond her strength by domestic cr social demands. Some day she awakens from this waste of strength to the woeful want of it. She has be come weak, nervous and miserable. For weak, nervous, run-down women, there is no better tonic and nervine than Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It restores the appetite, quiets the nerves and gives refreshing sleep. It cures local diseases peculiarly womanly which undermine the general health. It makes weak women strong, sick women well. "No doubt you have forgotten me, but after (roil read uiv letter yon will remember me," writes Mrs. Annie K. MoriiiR, of 238 7th Avenue, B w., Roanoke. Va. "In the year 1897, I wrote to vou for advice, which you gave me free of cha'rge. When I wrote to you I was a wreck : I could not walk straight for pains in my abdo men ; could not sit down, lie down, or get any ease at all. I had what was called the best doc tor here, but did not get any better until I went through a course of your medicine. I took eight bottles each of ' Favorite Prescription and 'Golden Medical Discovery.' and ten bottles of the ' Pleasant Pellets.' I tell you the mediciue made a curt of me." Weak and sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All correspondence is held as strictly private. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. Dr. Pietce's Pellets cure biliousness.

Ninety-nine of every one hundred people who have heart troubli can remember when it was simple Indiges tion. It Is a scientific fact that all cases ol heart disease, not organic, are not only traceable to, but re the direct result of indi gestion. All food taken into the stomach Which fails of perfect digestion ferments and swells the stomach, putting It up against the heart. This interferes with the action ol the heart, and in the course of time that delicate but vital organ becomes diseased. Mr. D.
