WHO G TIN NOT BE GURED.
Backed tip by over a third of a century of remarkable and uniform cures, a record such as no
other remedy for the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women ever attained, the proprietors and
makers of Dr. Pjerce's Favorite Prescription now feel fully warranted in offering- to pay 500
in legal money of the United States for any case of Xeucorrhea, Female AVeakness, Prolapsus, or
Falling of Womb, which they cannot cure, : All they ask s a fair and reasonable trial of their
means'of crire. ';-t -r ri:l..''v' '-'l , y. ' . ,;'-.;'ri- . . .' '
Their financial responsibility is well known to every newspaper publisher and druggist in the
1 United States, with 'most of whom they have done business for over a third of a ccnturj-. From
this fact it will readily be seen how utterly foolish it would be for them to make the aboe un
precedented and remarkable offer if they were not basing their offer on curative means having an
j unparalleled record. No other medicine than Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription could possibly "win
' out w as the saying goes, on such a proposition. But they know whereof they speak. They have the
' most remarkable record of cures made by this world-famed remedy .everplaced to the credit of any
preparation especially designed for the cure of woman's peculiar ailments. This wonderful remedy.
therefore, stands absolutely alone as the only one possessed of such . unrivaled curative properties as
tutiy warrant its makers, m publishing the remarkable oner above made in the utmost good faith.

doctors in the East and also in the " West but found only
temporary relief The next time of my sickness I found
myself no better, and in that way it kept going on from time
to time until I became discouraged. I finally resolved to
write you for advice. I purchased two bottles of Dr.' Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, two vials of his Pleasant TeHet, and
by using only that small quantity I have found wonderfiil
relief. I say to all who' arc suffering from troubles similar
to mine that it is unnecessary to be sick when one can ue

THE ASTORIAN AND THE ASTOR
' i : IANS. ' '
The Statesman is not surprised at
the editorial from the Astorian' re
printed In j the Oregonian of yesterday,
and copied In the Statesman of this
: Mr. Brownell also says he might go
into the fight if the Congressional
committee would permit a primary
j election on the candidates for Congress
and would then -permit" the one hav
ing the largest vote after stumping the
district to control the delegation.
But what right has the 'congression
al committee to either permit or pre
vent all these things? And. again.
morning, jit warned the Legislature I ,,Upp0ee 8ome candidate might refuse
to stump the district. What of him?
Ana, again, suppose the convention
should decide that the DODuIar vnto
was only "advisory," after alt? And
then, suppose that, though Mr. Brown
ell should be the ''highest candidate,"
the convention should decide to not
have his theory ' crammed down its
throat!! You know there are prece
dents for such action, and that "ad
visory" votes do not always count.

on many occasions, but If he adheres
to it in actual service in the Senate
he will disappoint every citizen of As
toria, man, woman and child.

as a seaport. Its people universally
