Special to Tho Scranton Tribune.
Susquehanna, Nov. 21. Seme years
ago a. humane Jackson farmer named
Tewksbury took pity on a small dopf
of uncertain breed, one of whose legs
had been crushed by a wagon. Heine
something of a surgeon, air. Tewkes
bury carefully amputated the crushed
leg, and, when the wound was healed,
provided the dog with a light and
etrong" wooden leg.
In the course of time the dog, which
was a very Intelligent little animal,
became awue that he could rest his
weight ur -a this wooden leg, and use
it for all ordinary purposes, and that,
while It was not as good as the other
three legs, It was much better than
no leg. In walking or trotting the dog
always used his wooden leg. If, how
ever, he had any occasion to do leap
ing or fast running, or to show In
any way especial nimblenoKS, with
which the stiffness of his artificial
limb would have Interfered, he held up
the wooden leg gracefully and leaped
or ran on the other three. The. dog
lived to a good old age, respected and
admired by all who knew him. His
grateful affection for mankind in gen
eral, and for Mr. TewkeFbury In par
ticular, was the most marked feature
of his character.

slructed in Wayne county, every farm

his door.
MILS. M'GRATirS TIGER CAT.
The tlgtr kitten of Sirs. McGrath,
of Red Rock, was born with three legs.
To repair this natural deficiency, the
widow hired a carpenter to make a
wooden leg for the animal, Instead of
drowning it forthwith, as most people
would have done. The widow carefully
nourished the kitten. Little by little
the wooden limb adjusted Itself to the
cat's, parts, and the cat, in turn, be
came accustomed to the leg. Today
the animal uses it artificial limb with
the same ease and dexterity with
which It uses the other three. When
the cat catches a mouse it does not
tear it with its claws and teeth, as
most cats do, but strikes It a sharp
blow with its wooden lea;, killing its
prey on the spot.

Ctm motherhood be a crime under any circum
stances? Nature says, "Yes." By the sight of
the thousand mothers living in daily suffering; by
the cries of the thousand children wailing in daily
misery, motherhood can be a crime against Nature.
Nature never permits ignorance of her laws to
excuse guilt or mitigate punishment. The father
cats sour grapes and "the children's teeth are set on
edge." The mother enters on maternal duties she is
unfit to discharge and is punished in her own suffer
ing and the weakness of her child. The greatest
endowment any mother can give her child is a sound
healthy body. Every mother owes her child that
body. It is a bitter thing for the tender mother
heart to feel responsibility for the shipwreck of a
child's life, too weak to do battle with the gales
which sweep across life's sea. The mother cattnot
give the child what she herself does not possess.
The first step toward happy motherhood is health.
But how can, a
woman be healthy
at will? Let a
woman answer.
A HAPPY
EVENT.
"I take pleasure in in.
forming you of the birth
of a boy in perfect health,
on May I8tll. 1899, "writes
Mrs. L, E. Corti, of Wal
tonville, Pa., Bor ij, "I
cannot Cud words suffi
ciently strong to express
to you my thanks, for
my delivery was almost
without pain, and when
my husband arrived with
the doctor the child was
already born. The
neighbors who were
with me, nnd my hus
band and the doctor
could not believe their
eyes. Having suffered
so much before I never
believed myself able to
be delivered of a living
child. I tell everybody
this happy event was
due to the help of God
and of your medicines.
Our hearts are full of
gratitude to you for your
medicines, which have
given us the happiness
of having a living? child
of our own, after so
much suffering and dis
appointment. I recommend Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription to all young
women who arc in the
same condition that I
was in as one of the
best remedies in exist
ence. I have used eight
bottles and Cud myself
in perfect health. Ac
cept my best wishes for
your welfare to the end
ot your dys."
In its substance Mrs. Cor
ti's testimony to the value
and virtue of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is iden
tical with that of thousands of
viliSVAtmrSTw'd'Mi
women who have been made well and
happy by this truly wonderful medicine. No two
cases are exactly alike the details vary but the
general fact of suffering is always the same, fol
lowed by the general result of a complete cure by
the use of "Favorite Prescription."
" WAS JUST WONDERFUL."
"During my two years of married life I have not had good
health," writes Mrs. Daisy Studdard, of 6o3 South Esplanade
Avenue. Leavenworth, Kansas, "I was all run down, and my
husband got me to write to Dr. Pierce and explain my case to
him and see if he could do me any good. So I wrote, and, thank
the Lord, I got an early reply tellitij me what the trouble was.
I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and also
the 'I'leasaut Pellets, and now can say that I feel like a new
In the past year it has cost Dr. Pierce $25,000, exclusive of postage,

Nothing else could speak so emphatically in
praise of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, as
do these testimonials of weak women made
strong and sick women made well. It seems
to some women well nigh miraculous, that after
years of suffering, and the failure of all medi
cines and doctors to give relief, they find a per
fect and permanent cure in "Favorite Prescrip
tion." But from the medical standpoint the
wonder would be if "Favorite Prescription"
failed to cure. It is made to cure as a sewing
machine is made to sew, and, it docs perfectly
what it was made to do. It is not a "cure-,
all." It is a medicine specially prepared to cure the
ailments peculiar to woman. It regulates the peri
ods, dries unhealthy drains, heals inflam
mation and ulceration and cures female
weakness. It invigorates the womanly
organs, increases womanly vigor and
strengthens the nerves. Thus with those
who use "Favorite Prescription," the pre
natal period is passed in peace and comfort,
the birth -hour passes with scarcely any
pain, and the mother is made happy by
having a bright, healthy baby,
and being abundantly able to
nourish it herself.

Do not confound
Dr. Pierce's offer
of free consulta
tion by letter with
the offer of "free
medical advice,"
made by those in
capable of giving
medical advice, be-
i cause they are not
medically educated.
Whenever an offer
of "medical advice"
is made by man or
woman, see first if
the offer is made
by a qualified and
competent physi
cian, before you
risk your health
&fW
and waste your
money. In any case there is no other offer
of free consultation which has behind it a
specialist in diseases of women, such as is Dr.
R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo,
N. Y., who, assisted by his staff of nearly a score
of competent physicians, has, in the past thirty
years and over, treated and cured more than,
half a million women. Write to the doctor.
There is no alcohol in "Favorite Prescrip
tion" and it contains no opium, cocaine or other
narcotic. It is a temperance medicine.
