WEAK The graceful Grecian women admired the strength combined with skill, which wiw displayed to Its highest perfection In the athletes of their rare. Among the greatest of thesv? athletes was Mllo. tho man who carried an ox on his shoulder!. It was an ago of athletic Ism. "There wore giants In those days." Doubtless many an athlete could have showed thews as great as Mllo's. Hut for all that Mllo was the only man who could MhouUler the ox. How was It done? The athlete told the story hlni selr. He begun with the ox when It was a little calf, lifting It daily, until It became the full grown bulky beast which he carried in the arena. .Mllo was an athletic specialist. He Is typical or all specialists In that he succeeded by doing the same thing over und over duy after day for years. One or the greatest specialists of tho day. Is Dr. It. V. Pierce, chief consult ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y. Thirty yeats of Dr. Pierce's life have been given to the treatment of all the vixrying forms of female disease. Every day the diseases that affect the delicate organs, or woiiK n have been his study. Half a mllliiu of women have been so successfully treated by him that ninety eight per cent, have been perfectly and permanently cured. Why should such success attend Dr .Pierce's efforts when reputable physicians have tald there was no help? Why should Dr. Pierce cure with his special medicines when other physicians have, said there must be an "operation?" Are not these other physleiuns us learned und as clever as Dr. Pierce? Those are fair questions and should be fairly an swered. Doubtless similar questions wore asked about Mllo. "What si the mat ter with the other athletes? They look Jusl as big and as strong as Mllo. Why can't they cjo what he does?" Anil then appealing to the successful ath lete, they ask. "How do you manage It, Mllo'.'" And Mllo answers. "I've been dolnjf it for years, .My skill has grown with its dally exercise." That, in substance, Is the plain answer of Dr. Pierce to all questions as to the secret of hiy Huneilorlty and o. his success. "Haven't these other physicians the education to treat dis ease'."' "Then why do you succeed where others fall'." it Is asked. "Simply because I've been treating these dis eases fin over thirty years and my skill has grown every day with Its exercise." Is the reply. There's no secret, no mys tery a bunt this succesf It's acquired h the same methods by which the suc cess of any specialist Is acquired: de votion to one thing, und dally practice. The same things- made Paderewskl a fpeciallsl on the piano and Dr. Carver a specialist with the rifle. It was the knowledge sained in this dallj practice and wide experience which guided Dr. Pierce in the selection and combination of the several Ingredi ents which make up that lemarkable compound. "Favoilte Prescription." Thousands have welcomed it as the best, friend of woman: "the friend Indeed" because It is "the friend lu need." it exerciHcs a complete control over the entire female organism. H regulates the periods, stops debilitating and dis gusting drains, allays Inflammation, heals ulceration, cures female weak ness alio I he accompanying bearing clown pains. It If the chief of all tonics for the prospective mother. it dues not brace up. but builds tip tin- entire sjstem, glvlnj, the maternal organs strength and elasticity which make the bit Hi hour brief and practically pain less, it removes the depression of mind tki often accompauvlng this con- ', ifltlop, noes away witn morning slck nesi and gives tho mind a cheerful and confident tone so thot theiu s no dicad and no unxlety It prepares tho mother for tile pleasant duty of nurslnc, es tablishing u normal und healthful How of the nutritlvu secretions, tli-.- How of which doe not have to be stimulated by intoxicants which av debllltatlnc: to the mother and danserous t.i the child. These lesults am truly wonderful. J Evcuy woman admits thut ho never supposed It was potslhlo tn escape the I pain of motherhood and to be cured of those diseases ot the deilcuto female orguii!;- which make life a m!ser. And the gratitude of the cured Is connueti surate with the wonder of their cure. There Is no other medicine that has done so iiiui b, Is doing so much, or can do so much for women, us Di. Pierce's Fuv oiite Prescription. Every rick and ailing woman who wants to know whut can bo done An her Is invited to consult 'Dr. Pleiee b letter. He will consider her case and advise with her In a frank and fatherly manner, giving her the full benefit of his years of practice and experience In the diseases pecllllui to Women.

Tho sympathies of women are sometimes played upon by Invitations to "write to a woman who can sympathize with women," etc. A sick woman does not need to go abroad for sympathy. What she needs Is the skilled, Intelligent help of an educated, experienced physician. As far as Is known thero Is no woman connected with any proprietary medicine who Is a graduated physician, who has Indeed any qualification to treat the common est hurts or Ills. There certainly is no one mint or woman who can offer us docs Dr. Pierce the specialism of thirty years' practice nnd experience Iri treat ing female diseases, wli' a record of ninety-eight cures lu every hundred eases.

But I do not think so today. After the lii-pl week's treatment Just as you pre scribed.

PITTSTON. t'p until live o'clock yesterday mark ed tho quietest election ever held In this city nnd vicinity nnd during thosa bourn there was nothing notlcoabtu from the usual order of tilings, out side of small groups of watchers and others who business required their pre sence! nboiit the usual voting booths. During the forenoon the basinets matt, his elcrks nnd the man of leisure de posited their ballots und they per formed that Important duly In such a business like manner that he was rarely uccosted on that mission by those who for a pittance hold up tl." doubtful voters und use their persuslto arguments, thut are a portion of the election duy programme. During the last two hours of voting the contest ot ballots grew more spirited and at several of the places there were sonm Interesting arguments, growing out of tho determination upon tho part of some disgruntled Democrats, who, without any obvious reason, would challenge each voter whom tlitv were certain nut to vot" in their way of thinning. At this writing n large vote has been polled and the general smoothness in which everything is moving surely Indicates Hint the gen eral voter went to the booth with his mind fully made up us to which way he would cast his ballot. On the West Side of the river tho order of things were about the same nnd today they will show that they can utlll fur nish the usual Republican majority. Ernest Smalt, an honest old yeo man, residing In the suburbs of Pitts ton township, lost tt valuable hunting dog several vears ago and last week when golr.g down South Main street be spied the lost canine and, following It up, found that the dog made his home on the premises of George Thom as, of Welsh Hill. He demanded pos session of the animal from Thomas and being refused he hud a warrant sworn out before Alderman Evans and last night a motley crowd, which must have included the population of Welsh Hill und Oregon were squeezed into the alderman's court like rardlnes in c. box and some verv lively testimony pro and eon went down on Jacob's blotter. About twenty witnesses wore hoard and the testimony caused tic alderman to believe that Smaltz was entitled to the lonp lost dog decided accordingly. This did not meet the approval of Thomas, however, and he furnished ball in the amount or Jinn for court and thus the case stunds, Since the disappearance of the clog the evidence showed that he bad been In the possession of all the witnesses and had bet-n on hunting trips over the best portion of the state.
