GET FLESH.
Got Strength, Vigor, Clear Complex
ion and Good Digestion, Not by
Patent Medicine, But in Nature's
Own Way,
Any honest physician will tell you
that there Is but one way to get In
creased flesh; all tho patent medicines
and cod liver oils to the contrury not
withstanding. Nature has but one way to Increase
flesh, strength and vigor, mind nnd
body, nnd that Is through tho stomach,
by wholesome food, well digested.
There Is no reason or common sense In
other methods whatever. ,
People ore thin, run down, nervous,
pale, and shaky In their nerves simply
because their stomachs are weak.
They may not think they havo dys
pepsia, but the fact remains that they
do not cat enough food, or what they
eat Is not quickly and properly digest
ed, as It should be.
Dr. Harlandson says the reason Is
because tho stomach lacks certain di
gestive acids nnd peptones, nnd defic
ient secretion of gastric Juice.
Nature's remedy In such cases is to
supply what the weak stomach lacks.
There are several good preparations
which will do this, hut none so readily
ns Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which
are designed especially for all stomach
troubles, and which cure all digestive
weakness on the common sense plan
of furnishing the digestive principles
which tho stomach lacks.
Stunrfs Dyspepsia Tablets give per
fect digestion. First effect Is to In
crease the appetite and increased vigor,
ndded flesh, pure blood and strength of
nerve and muscle Is tho perfectly nat
ural result.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is the
safest tonic known and will cure any
form of stomach trouble except cancer
of the stomach. May be found nt drug
gists ot fiO cents for full sized packages
or direct by mall from Stuart Co., Mar

WHAT TO EAT AT MANILA.
Living Is Cheap But Not Very
Tempting in Our Eastern Islands.
From tha Medical Nevs.
Cattle don't thrive In the Philippines
"heep arc not found there. Potatoes
don't grow in tho Archipelago. Veg
tablcs arc everywhere scarce, so It
seems, and the peas and asparagus
one gets come mostly from Franco or
Germany. In peaceful times, gone by,
to be sure, tho industrious Chinaman
In his little garden raised delicacies
for the tables of foreigners, but now
that most of these almond-eyed Celes
tials have retired with their dollars to
China, tomatoes, lettuce, beans and
corn are probably scarcer. Chickens
and eggs are two great Philippine
standbys, nnd always seem to form a
groundwork for every meal. Beef from
poor worn out bullocks, shipped up
from Australia, likewise has Its usual
bright place to fill, but mutton and
potatoes have to come over from China.
Fruits, Manila has Its plenty, and what
with mangoes, mangosteens, oranges,
bananas, pineapples, grape fruits and
melons selling for a song, the market
Is well supplied.
All meats In Manila and other parts
of the Islands Is olten eaten fresh-killed,
since Ice falls to preserve fish,
flesh or fowl, and game and fowl
are always sold at the markets alive.
It Is not to be denied that the tough,
stringy taste to this porlon of tho
menu is far from desirable, but neces
sity seems to know no law, and one
must accustom himself almost to see
ing the chickens of his four'h course
wandering around In the kitchen half
plucked ns he begins his feast.
Living was very cheap In Manila
during my stay, and our cook got but
40 cents with which to provide dinner
for four people. And wo would have
such dishes as soup, fish, chops and
pens, roast chicken with potatoes,
beans nnd corn, salad, dessert and
tr:'t quite a rep&st for so small a
sum.
Tho milk available In the Philippines
rarely comes from the Jersey cow, but
Is a product ot the "carabao," or water
buffalo, and tastes somewhat oily.
Oatmeal and cream aro things un
known, and the former Is now said to
be too heating for a hot climate diet.
Chocolate seems to come under the
same category, and even mangoes tho
fruit with tho smooth, turpentine tasto
have to be eschewed by him who suf
fers from prickly heat. Bread, too, is
not eaten so much us toast, and the
foreigner almost always Insists on get
ting his "pan tostada" In order that
any lurking microbes which the bread
may havo absorbed during the process
of manufacture In the lltllo Chinese
bakery may be destroyed.
As the Manila water supply was good
1 had no hesitation In drinking plenty
of Adam's nlc, and never found It dis
agreed with me. In fact, somo of the
old stagers sny a long glass of water
Just after one gets up In the morning
doeth gotd ilku a medicine, and suf
fice It to gay It seemed to work like a
charm In my case.
In conclusion, as to food, It must be
said that, In peaceful times. Manila
fare Is not bad, though It Ibcks variety,
and such nrtlcles as ono gets In the
ordinary menu at the club or In the
restaurants seem amply to supply tho
demands made on tho new nrrlval by
tho climate. Heavy or heating foods,
such as oatmeal, and the like uro best
left nlone, Hnd In my mind, tho less
alcohol one takes tho better. Claret
and seltzer make one of the cleanest
drinks to be Imagined, and on better
than a brandy and soda, or something
of the same strong make-up.
Awkward.

"What Makes Mfama So
Cross,
tf
A Child's Question Answered by a
Famous Specialist.
The mother hnd one of her "nervous
spells" and tho little boy had been
warned to be very quiet. Tho restless
little fellow moved on tiptoe about tho
room trying to nmuso himself, but nl
most every movo he made was fol
lowed by tho querulous cry of tho
mother, "Willie, don't make so much
noise." At last In his over anxiety to
ho quiet, the boy dropped n book on
tho iloor, and his mother's nngry
scream of protest drove him to the
shelter of his father's arms. The fath
er laid down his paper, and caressed
the tearful boy who whispered between
his sobs: "Papa, what makes mamma
so cross?" Papa made no nnswer. He
"WHAT MAKES M
did not know how to answer. He could
only wonder that In a few years the
gay and sprightly girl he had married
had lost all her spirits, had faded In
face and fallen off in form, and had
developed an impatience of temper and
an Irritability of disposition which was
generally ascribed to "nerves."
But there was something else that
papa did not know. He did not know
that every such nervous outhreak
caused his wife Intense mental suffer
ing because of her own weakness. He
did not know that even now behind
closed fingers that hid her face tho
mother was weeping because of her
own passionate impatience with the
child she loved.
"AVhat makes mamma so cross?" It
is a pitiful question. In It the little
child puts his finger right on tho most
salient feature In the failure of mar
riage. It Is not tho case of one wo
man hut the case of thousands. Tho
result Is a home unattractive to tho
husband, and the children's love for
the mother adulterated with fear. The
husband, tired of tears and scolding,
drifts to the village stor- or the city
club to spend his evenings. Tho poor
wife sits and looks up nt the motto,
which she hung on the wall with a
wifely pride In her heart and a woman
ly prayer on her lips "God bless our
home." She feels that tho homo Is
cursed Instead of blessed.
Poor woman! She Is not to blame
for her nervousness and her tears. It Is
tho natural and necessary result of her
condition. The finest musician In the
world could get nothing but discord
out of a harp whoso every string was
strained to breaking. That's the way
It Is with the woman. She Is literally
"all unstrung." Her nervous system
Is shattered. All the harmony of the
sweet girl nature Is turned to discord.
It Is a condition peculiar to her sex
and common to wifehood. Perhnps
this condition began long ago In girl
hood with Irregularity In one of tho
Important femnlo functions followed
maybe with a disagreeable and deblll
tatlng drain on the system. Perhaps
It Is tho Immediate consequence of the
great changes which take place with
marriage. Behind such a nervous con
dition will bo found Inflammation
burning like a fire into the tender tis
sues, ulceration eating like poison Into
the organs of generation. There will
be Irregular periods, and the bearlng
down pains, associated with prolapsus,
a disagreeable, unnatural and deblll
tatlng pain, sapping the life and
strength of the system. Some or nil
theso are behind that nervous condi
tion so painful for the mother, so piti
ful for tho family. AVe know that this
Is so because tho treatment of thous
ands of women similarly afflicted has
proven It to be so. AA'e know Just ns
surely that this condition Is curable,,
berauso In all tho thousands of cases
treated, only two out of every hun
dred have failed of complete and per
fect cure; and even these two have
generally been benefited. This Is not
a matter of mere statement. It Is a
matter of evidence. A half a million
of women could be put Into the wit
ness box to testify that they have been
cured of Irregularities, ulcerations, In
flammations, and disagreeable drains
on the system, by the use of Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Tho
larger part of this vast nrmy of wo
men nre In evidence over their own
signatures reporting their former suf
ferings and their permanent cure by
the "Favorite Prescription." AA'e can
only offer here a few such letters,
Mrs. Cordelia Henson, of Colton,
Boyd Co., Ky writes: "In October,
18S9, I gavo birth to a baby and tho
.treatment 1 received at the hands of
tho midwife left me with falling of
the uterus. I had no heulth to speak
of for three years. I had another baby
which was the third child. My health
began to fall and I had three mis
carrluges so I found myself completely
worn out. I had so muny pains and
aches my life was a burden to mo nnd
also to all the family, for I was ner
vous nnd cross und could not sleep.
Just ufter my last miscarriage (In 1896)
I was taken with a severe pain In left
side. Had four doctors cdmo to boo
mo but at last I found I was slowly
dying. The doctors said I had liver,
lung and uterine trouble. I wns In
bed for months und when I did get up
.V, -sgg 4jij iiJl!LL,:
I wan a sight to behold. I looked like
a corpse walking about. I commenced
to take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, 'Favorlto Prescription' nnd
'Pclletr,' and I was soon a well wo
man. I havo suffered nil a woman
could Buffer at my monthly period un
til slnco I began the use ot Dr. Plerco's
medicines, but now I enn say I havo
no pain. The dark circles nround my
eyes are going away nnd I feel better
In every way. My cheeks aro red and
my face Is white, but before It was as
yellow as saffron."
"Your medicines have done wonders
for me," writes Mrs. James AA'. Black
er, of (129 Catherlno Btrcot, Syracuse,
N. Y, "For yenrs my health wns very
poor; I hnd four mlscnrrlnges, but
since taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery and 'Favorlto Prescrip
tion' have much better health, and
now I have a flno healthy baby."

many grateful mothers that thus tes
tify to the efficacy of Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription. She says: "I can
highly recommend Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and also his "Fa
vorite Prescription' having taken the
latter for nine months previous to con
finement, I suffered scarcely any com
pnred with what I hnd at other times."
Many grateful letters come from hus
bands who are made glad by the
wife's new health nnd happiness. "For
five years my wife was In an almost
helpless condition, suffering from fe
male weakness," writes J. S. Everltt,
esq., of Hagerman, AA'ashlngton Co.,
Fla. "Last September I decided to
have her try Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription. Sho took several bottles of
tho medicine and gave birth to a ten
pound son on Jan. 31, 1898. She Is now
sound and well and doing her house
work." "My wife was sick for over eight
years." writes Albert II. Fulto, Esq.,
of Altamount, Grundy Co., Tenn. "She
had uterine disease and was treated
by two physicians and got no relief.
At last, I read in one of your Memor
andum Books, which you sent me,
about Dr. Pierce's medicines and wo
decided to try his 'Favorite Prescrip
tion I sent to the drug store and got
ono bottle and tho first dose gavo ease
and sleep. She had not slept any for
three nights. Being sure that It would
cure her I sent for five more bottles
and when she had taken the sixth bot
tle she was sound and well. AVo now
have a fine boy at our house."
Inflammation Is promptly allayed, ul
certlons healed, and tho nerve centers
strengthened by Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. It stops unnatural and
disagreeable drains on the system, reg
ulates the periods, and In fact ad
Justs tho organs peculiarly feminine
to harmonious operations in all their
functions. The real pleasure In life
then returns. The form rounds out,
the eye brightens, the dragging step
of disease gives place to the springing
step of health. A smllo, instead of a
tear, goes Into every stitch going into
the tiny garments being made ready
for tho coming guest a guest who
will receive a glad welcome from a
heart rich In maternal love, and a body
strong In maternal power, to cherish
and nourish its Infant life.
All this transformation can be
wrought In your own house, If you
aro a sufferer, without expensive con
sultations, without Indelicate ques
tioning or disagreeable examinations,
and offensive local treatments.
You can consult Dr. Pierce by letter
without cost. This Is one of the moBt
generous professional offers ever made.
Tho specialist as a rule multiplies his
fees for advice by the years of his ex
perlence. Dr. Pierce as chief consult
ing physician to tho Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, New
York, has given thirty years to the
special study of diseases of women.
His vast exeperlence nnd success
muke hhn as a sovereign among spec
ialists. He places all this at your ser
vice without charge. You can write
without fear and without fee. Every
letter is held strictly private and
strictly confidential. AA'e want to Im
press on you that this free con
sultation by letter gives everything
that It promises, and Is what It pur
ports to be, the offer of an honest
medical opinion on your case and con
dition given by a specialist on woman's
diseases, who has in thirty years
treated many thousands ot women.
Designing men, through nllurlng and
cunningly worded advertisements, con
stantly endeavor to work upon tho
feelings of sick and ailing women by
inviting them to "write to a woman
(I) and secure a woman's sympathy."
It Is well to remember that tho best
sympathy Is to be had at homo and
not from strangers, perhaps hundreds
of miles distant. The object of the
sick Is to get well, and however prec

ious sympathy may be. It neror yek

AVhllo tho sympathy ot your milliner
or dressmaker might bo appreciated,
and be Just as beneficial, if not moro
so than sympathy from a stranger,
yet it cannot effect your euro if you
aro an ailing woman.
It Is loudly proclaimed through tha
press that "a woman can best under
stand a woman's aliments," and on
this ground sick women arc Invited to
"wrlto to a woman" and get tho benefit
of a woman's ndvlec, The sort of "un
derstanding of her ailments" wanted
by a sick woman is a trained medical
understanding. If a woman hns this
trained medical knowledge sho under
stands woman's ailments not as a wo
man but as a physician. If sho Is not
a doctor she cannot understand tho
ailments not as a woman but as a phy
sician. If she Is not a doctor she can
not understand the ailments at all, and
cannot treat them successfully, be
cause she lacks tho necessary training.
As far as known there is no regu
larly qualified woman physician con
nected with any proprietary medicine
especially designed for women no ono
therefore, qualified by learning and
experience, to advlso on questions of
disease and Its cure.
It Is certain that there is no one,
man or woman, connected with any
"put up" medicine for womon except
ing only Dr. Pierce's Favorlto Pro
scription, who, like Dr. Pierce, Is a
regular graduated and qualified physl
clan.nnd who has, like him,, devoted
more than thirty years to the special
study and treatment ot diseases ot
women.
In the strictest sense "Favorlto Pre
scription Is a temperance medicine. It
contains no alcohol, whisky or other
Intoxicants, and is free from opium,
narcotics, syrup or sugar. Without
any of these it preserves its healing
virtues In nny climate.
All denlers In medicine sell Dr.
Plerco's Favorlto Prescription. There
Ib no other medicine to compare with it
in Its remarkable cures. Do not there
fore accept any other medicine In its
place as "Just as good." Nothing Is
Just as good for you which cannot
show a "Just as good" record of cure
of female diseases. No other mcdlclnr
can show such a record. No othep
medicine therefore can bo as good.
The "wonder book" of family medi
cine, Is Dr. Plerco's Common Senso
Medical Adviser. It focuses on tho
leading facts of physiology and hy
giene the concentrated light of nges of
scientific research. It deals with na
ture nnd disease In tho light of com
mon sense. In simple language It
traces tho story of human life from
Its source. It speaks perternally to tho
young man and young woman on thosa
grave questions that concern each sex.
It speaks with scientific authority to
those who contemplate marriage. And
with all this there are hints and helps
for all the accidents and contingen
cies that can touch tho health of tho
family. This great book contains 1003
pages, and Is sent entirely free, on re
