and only got in a few unimportant
blows before he was knocked out. The
sports who expected a big fight, got in

Congestion and in
flammation of the
internal organs are
generally induced
by exposure to
wet or cold, excite
ment of the emo
tions, or a morbid
condition of the
blood. For the
radical cure of
these derange
tnents Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
is a safe and certain remedy, permanently
coi-reeting all abnormal conditions, so that
these trying ordeals are passed with ease
and comfort. Ulcerations and displace

vorite Prescription," and the cure is last

regularities of function and displacements
of the womanly organs. The "Favorite

recting these functions and organic
changes.
For all irregularities, suppressions and
obstructions, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre

over a quarter of a century 0 cures.
