Cures Woman's Weaknesses.
We refer to that boon to weak, nervons,
suffering women known as Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.
Dr. John Fyfe one of the Editorial Staff
of Tue EcLEctic MEDICAL REVIEW says
of Unicorn root (Helonias Dicica) which
iz one of the chief ingredients of the "Fa-
vorite Prescription”:
“A remedy which invariably acts as a uter-
ine iavigorator * * * makes for normal ac-
tivity of the entire reproductive system.”
He continues "in Helonias we have a medica-
ment which more fully answers the above
purposes than any other drug with which I am
aeguainted. In the treatment of diseases pe-
cualiar to women it is seldom that a case is
soem which does not present some indication
for this remedial agent.” Dr. Fyfe further
says: "The following are among the jeading

Woman Elects Engineering.
Miss Nora Stanton Blatch, grand-
daughter of Elizabeth Cady Stanton,
has been appointed a member of the
city’s staff of civil engineers in charge
of the $161,000,000 Catskill water
system.
Miss Blatch’s appointment was not
due to any pull, but was made on
merit.
Miss Blatch is an unusually pretty
Young woman, athletic, active and
fond of outdoor life. She distin-
guished herself two vears ago, while
4 senlor at Cornell, by swimming
Cayuga lake, a distance of 2 16 miles.
The feat was an easy one for her,
and her friends declared at the time
she could have swum the entire dis-
tance back.
She decided to follow engineering
on entering college, and applied for
membership in the American Society
of Civil Engineers. She was admitted
recently, being the first woman ever
received into that organization,
8he is the daughter of Mrs. Harriet
Stanton Blatch, a noted New York
club-woman and lecturer, and a
daughter of Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
Mrs. Blatch lived in England for 14
years,
From her mother she received
training in keeping with the ideals
advocated by Mrs. Stanton, and she
believed that woman was intended to
play a more important and useful
part in the scheme of civilization than
she does at present.
Miss Blatch, when seen recently,
sald: “I believe sincerely in the in-
tellectual equality of men and wom-
en, and, since 1 personally have not
been so fortunate as to do anything
that would have been remarked had
I been a man, I strongly object to
any notice being taken of what 1 have
done. It is exceptional for a woman
to undertake civil engineering, but
further than that extremely common-
place.”-—Boston Advertiser.

There are two classes of remedies: those of known qual.
ity and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting
gently, in harmony with nature, when nature needs assist-
ance; and another class, composed of preparations of
unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting temno-
rarily, but injurionsly, as a result of forcing the natural
funetions unnecessarily, One of the most exe ptional of
the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever
pleasant Syrup of Figs, mannfactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of
) plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup,
in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to econ-
tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy
of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system
gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming eonsti-
pation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active princi-
ples and quality are known to physicians generally, and the
remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with
the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know
of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience
that it is a most excellent laxative remedy. We do not elaim that
it will cure all manner of ills, but recommend it for whet it really
represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence,
containing nothing of an objectionable or injurions character.
There are two classes of purchasers: those who are informed
as to the quality of what they buy and the reasous for the excellence
of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack cour: ze to g
elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known
artitle; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know
and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They eaunot expect
its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy.

KEW YEAR'S CALLS
A New Drink to Replace the Old
Time “Apple-Jack."
Twenty-five years ago the custom
of making New Year's calls was a de-
lightful one for all concerned, until
cessfully carry.
Then the ladies tried to be charita-
ble and the gentlemen tried to be as
chivalrous as ever and stand up at
the same time.
If anyone thinks there has not been
considerable improvement made in
use of alcoholic beverages, let him
stop to consider, among other things,
the fact that the old custom of New
Year's calls and the genteel tippling
is nearly obsolete.
The custom of calling on one's
friends, however, at the beginning of
the new year, Is a good habit, and
another good habit to start at that
time is the use of well-made Postam
instead of coffee or spirits.
A Staten Island doctor has a sensi-
ble daughter who has set Postum be-
fore her guests as a good thing to
drink at Yule Tide, and a good way
to begin the New Year. Her father
writes:
“My daughter and I have used
Postum for some time past and we
feel sure it contains wholesome food
material,
“I shall not only recommend it to
my patients, but my daughter will be
most pleased to give a derso
of Postum to our Christmas and
Year's callers.” Read “The Road to
Weilville," in pgks. “There's a fea-
