A MAN OF FORESIGHT.
William Williams, of This City, Has
Proven Himself Such.
At a meeting of the stockholders of
the Delaware and Hudson railroad,
held some years ago in New Yoik city,
Mr. Williams, who has tumie stock In
the road, addressed the meeting at
some length.
His words created a sensation and
the dav after he received much atten
tion nt the hands ol the Journals in
the Metropolis. Mr. Williams. In his
remarks, declared that the Delaware
and Hudson road was not in as good
n financial condition as It apparently
seemed to be, and that if the method
of managing In vogue at that time was
Insisted upon the road would come to
tin untimely end.
Shortly after his return from the city
he wrote n letter In which he said:
"The dividends paid to stockholders
were seven per cent., while the profits
were only a fraction over G?i. Thus It
can be seen to pay the 7 per cent, on
thirty-Jive million capital stork must
have made a big hole In the surplus,
which cannot last long." That Mr.
Williams Is n financier of some note Is
evidenced by his prophetic letter or
1S9C.

WHAT HAPPENED TO JONESP
How the Story Goes from Start to
Finish.
"What Happened to Jones" in the
attraction at the Grand for tonight.
It is a catchy title and one calculated
to arouse curiosltv. Jones Is a drum
mer. While attending a prize fight the
place is raided by the police and Jones
makes his escape with n musty pro
fessor of anatomy, Kbcnezer Goodly,
who has been Induced to attend the
light by his prospective son-in-law.
who has decidedly sporty proclivities;
Jones bobs up serenely in the homo
of Goodly and refuses to leave for
fear of the police. Jones passes him
self off as the bishop of Uallarat, a
brother of the professor's, who is ex
pected to arrive from Australia, al
most at any moment, much to the
discomfiture of the professor, who,
however, Is afraid to expose Jones for
fear of the prize fight episode.

THE NEW WOMAN.
The Secret of Strength
nnd Beauty.
The athletic woman Is everywhere In
evidence. You can see her on the wheel,
swinging a golf club, rowing, riding,
running, her every nnnenient so grace
ful that you Instinctively pausu to look
nt her. The day of tlght-lnced, wasp
wulsted women Is ci'uy and gone. The
ori' has given us n new women who
thinks more of her Iiiiirs thnn she does
of her wnlst, and who Is proud of her
muscle Hut have you noticed that
these girl goddesses are almost without
exception unmarried? As soon as n
woman muriies she begins to lose the
swinging stride, the easy carriage, the
steady hnnd, the quick eye. Her back
hurts and she can't row.or swing a golf
club. Shu Is nervous and the old sports
nnd recreation are Impossible to her.
The renfonfor this condition Is obvious.
Few women are prepared for marriage
either Intellectually or physically.
They have no Intelligent understanding
of their own physiology, and no appre
ciation of the rndlcnl,,pbyslcal changes
which marriage Inaugurates. The re
sult Is that debilitating drains are set
up, and allowed to continue unchecked.
The delicate female organs become ul
cerated and Inllumed, and probably
there Is female weakness, or displace
ment of Internal organs, with bearing
down pp.lni, The consequence Is ner-
vnuwiess, physical languor, weak back,
headache, and a score of other Ills.
Kven then it probably doesn't dawn on
the nllllctcd woman's mind that the
pain In her head. In her back or at her
heart Is In any way connected with the
diseased conditions of the delicate wo
manly organs. Yet that Is the exact
condition of affairs. Thousands of wo
men have proven this, who have used
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription to
cure debilitating catarrhal drains, and
an ulcerated nnd Inflamed condition of
the Internal organs, and have found to
their glad surprlie that when the local
health of the womanly organs was es
tablished, strength came back to the
whole body.
REMOVE THH CAl'SK.
It's of no use to treat the head or the
back or the heart. The center of the
diseased condition lies In those delicate
womanly organs, and through them the
whole body becomes sympathetically
affected. But, one practical example !s
worth a volume of theory. Here Is the
actual experience of one woman.
"After a silence of a few months I
ngaln write you In regard to my health
which has been very much improved by
the una of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 'Favorite Prescription' and
'Pleasant Pellets," " writes: Mrs. Mollle
E. Carpenter, of LInariu, Cumberland
Co., Tenn, "I have used thirty bot
tles of 'Favorite Prescription' and
'Golden Medical Discovery' and many
vials of the 'Pellets.' When I first
wrote to Dr. Pierce concerning my
health I was so weak J could only write
a few words until I would have to rest.
I was so weak I could hardly walk.
Words cannot express my sufferings.
Dimness of sight, palpitation, short
ness of breath, black spots or else
shining lights before my eye. terrible
headache, numbness In my arms and
hands and tongue, also my Jaws would
get numb; constipation, fulling of the
womb, leucorrhea, swenes- through
my bowels; In fact T was diseased from
head to foot. Now I can h my own
washing and cooking. 1 can take a ten
quart pall In one hand and a six quart
pall In the other (full of water) and
carry both one-fourth of a milt nnd
never stop to rest. I nm ns heavy as I
was ut ID years OL'j pound) I also had
dimness of sight and Impaired mem
ory, I had spells that when I would
try to speak I couldn't think of the
wordsi I wanted to say, but would say
something else. I have Improved, oh,
so much, and Dr. Pierce's medicines
have done the good work. It has been
about a year since 1 commenced the
use of the medicines. My health has
beep imp! oving slowly 'jut surely. We
cannot expect a disease that has been
coming on for years to be cured In a
few dujf. If any lad suffering as I
have been will write in Dr. Pierce and
get his ndvicf and in his .medicines
accotding to dliections, u cure will
surely result."
"DISEASED FROM HEAD TO FOOT."
That experience Is worth thinking
over. Look nt the giuvity ot the case.
"1 whs dlseused from head to foot."
Contrast the former weakness when
she wrote her llrst letter to Dr. Pierce,
und "could only write n fuw words un
til I would huvo to rest," with the pres
ent strength, which enables her to
"tnke a ten quurt pall In one hand and
u six quart pall in the othet, both full
of water ,and currj them u quarter of
a mile without stopping to lest." That's
only tho cafe of ode woman In thou
sands who have been similarly cured
by "Favorite Prescription." But P's un
extraordinary case. It proves that the
most hopeless cviidltloiiH yield to the
persistent ue of "Favorite Prescrip
tion," In ordinary cases the cure Is

much quicker, and a much smaller
quantity of medicine Is needed to
effect It.
Thut woman blesses the day when
she wrote her first letter to Dr. Pierce.
This free consultation by correspond
ence which Dr. Pierce offers Is a privi
lege! women eagerly avail themselves of
when they once understand that there
Is really no charge, and that every let
ter Is read In private, answered In pri
vate, and the untwer mnlled In a per
fectly plain envelope without nny ad
vertising upon It.
Muny women let tlieBo discuses fasten
on them because their modesty shrinks
from the questionings. Indelicate ex
aminations and local treatments their
frlendn have had to submit to, These
offensive features are entirely done
away with In Dr. Pierce's method of
treatment. Write a plain letter. You
are not writing to a woman for sym
pathy but to a man for help. And It's
in the very luw of our belngo that man
should feel
A HF.LPFUL SYMPATHY.
for woman, such as Is rarely extended
by one woman to another. It's nlngukir
but It Is true that women In general
make light of the sufferings of other
members of their own sex, nnd are apt
to be crltlcnl und cynlrul over their
pains. And perhnps for that reason
women prefer to confide In a physician
who like Dr. Pierce can give the prac
tical sympathy of help. In a practice
of over thirty years as chief consulting
physician of the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute at Buffulo, N. Y., Dr.
Pierce has treated more than half a
million women, nnd cured perfectly and
permanently ninety-eight out of every
hundred. This vast experience which
covered every form and variation of
feminine disease, puts Dr. Pierce ut the
head of specialists In the treatment of
diseases of women.
Don't you want to get back that nth-
letlo girlhood ngaln? Write to Doctor
Pierce and take the llrst step to health.
Remember there Is no charge for this
consultation by letter, and that every
letter Is held us rtrlctly private and sa
credly confidential. This offer will bear
thorough investigation. Investigation
Is something that cannot be borne by
those oilers of free advice which
comes from people who have no medical
knowledge, and are not qiiulllled to
practice. Such offers are deliberately
misleading. There Is no claim made to
giving a physician's advice, they keep
Inside the law, yet the wording U de
signed to create the Impression that If
you write you will receive advice of a
physician. The most Insidious of these
offers of udvice are artfully framed to
appeal to woman's sympathy. Some
man playa the part of
"THE BEARDED LADY"
and Invites "women to write to women
and get a woman's sympathy, etc."
I Even If these letters are genuinely ans
wered by a woman and sympathy is
expressed, this Is not what Invalid
women want; they want medical ad
vice. No woman can give this who is
not a trained physician, and so far a'
known there Is no qunllfled woman phy
sician associated with any proprietary
medicine. It is certain that there Is no
one connected with any Institution
who has, like Dr. Pierce, a record ot
success extending over thirty years,
and covering the treatment of more
than half a million women.
There Is no alcohol, whisky, or other
Intoxicant in "Favorite Prescription,"
neither does it contnln opium or any
other narcoetlc drug. It does not create
a craving for Htlmulnnts and narcotics.
Of no other medicine especially de
signed for women can this be truthfully
said. Here and there Is found a dealer
who Eeeks to make n little extra profit
at a customer's expense by trying to
sell one of these "Just as good" sub
stitutes when "Favorite 'Prescription"
Is called for. That's1 hardly fair for
you. When you buy a "jUBt as good"
baking powder, which of course pay
the dealers a bigger profit, you get
something for yourself, a spoon or a
pitcher or something as a premium,
But In this case the dealer gets all the
extra profit nnd you get a bottle of
medicine that you didn't ask for, and
don't know anything about, except one
thing which you may know for certain,
that It won't cure as does "Favorite
Prescription." It isn't the right remedy
and It hasn't tho right record. Don't
let the dealer do It. Go for Dr. Pierce's
and get Dr. Pierce's.
DICTIONARY OF HEALTH.
You don't want to use a dictionary
very often but when you do want It,
nothing will take Its place. That fact
Is equally true of Dr. Pierce's diction
ary of health Tho People'3 Common

want to consult It every day, but when
