When he reached home, the mother
"Jf the little girls had returned the car

feed chutes of n considerable quantity
of oats, and as a result both animals
were quite sick. They were compelled
to tap one horse. The feed boxes are
situated on the second floor, the feed
passing down two chutes In the rear
of the stable. The horses pulled this
slides out, allowing the contents of
both boxes to flow freely on the floor,
where they secured all they could cat.

Is always a woman's dread though often a doctor's
delight. There is no question but that enthusiasm
for surgery leads to the advice of an operation
many times, when the operation is not only need
less but will prove absolutely unbenefidal. This
proposition is supported by medical testimony and
emphasized by the experience of the women whose
statements are given below. The first of these
statements is the more remarkable in that it conies
from x woman physician. She suffered for three
years, was long under treatment, and then submit
ted to the surgeon's knife, absolutely without bene
fit. Then a friend advised a trial of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, and of it the grateful writer
says: " have full knowledge of Us properties and
its power to draw one from the brink of the grave.
Never in my profession have I seen such a mirade
worker in the form of medicine."
"I QWE EVSY friT 'TO THAT VJOE3-
DERFiSL ' FRESGRIPTSSIN.' "
"It istrith extreme pleasure that I make known to you
my rapid recovery; from a lontj illness as a result of a com
plication of organic diseases, the principal one being ovarian
and uterine inllauiination," writes Grace M. Di Marzo, M. D.,
of Ardwick, Prince George Co., Md. "It is a pleasure to
recommend Dr. Tierce's Favorite Prescription as the best
medicine I have ever taken for the diseases in question . I
have full knowledge of its properties and its powers to draw
one from the brink of the grave. Such has been my case.
I'or three years I did not experience one well day. i was
first under treatment, then the surgeon's knife, and through
complete disgust I gave up both, and, acting under advice of
a friend, I took Dr. Pierce's medicine with patience. Now,
I owe my life to that wonderful ' Prescription ' of his, and I
cannot recommend it too highly. Never in my profession
have I seen such a ' miracle-worker ' in the form of medicine.
"The poor Invalids who are throwing nway dollars in pain
relief medicines, morphine, laudanum, etc., had better turn
to Dr. Pierce's remedies, as, while he can remove the pain
without the admi"i'-ition of anodynes, he can more easily
remove the cause.
Even if there were but one such testimonial to the
remarkable cure of women's diseases by "Favorite
Prescription," it would be an encouragement to give
it a trial. But the cures effected by this remarkable
medicine for women are legion in number and their
scope covers every form of womanly disease which
is curable by the use of medicine. Of "Favorite
Prescription" it can be truthfully affirmed that it
always helps and almost always cures. Iet any
suffering woman who reads these statements, ask
herself : Is not such a remedy worth a trial ?
These three cures are representative. Behind
them are half a million other cures. The record
shows that ninety-eight in every hundred women
who have used Dr. Pierce's medicines have been
perfectly and permanently cured. Only two women
in each hundred fail of complete cure. But even
these report great benefit and improved health.
Are you one of the ninety-eight who can be com
pletely cured, or one of the two who can be greatly
helped but not entirely healed? A fair trial of
" Favorite Prescription " will put the question for
ever at rest.

HAS THE JUDGMENT OPENED.
Trouble Over the Contract to Build a
Barn.
On motion of Attorney M. A. Me
Glnley, attorney for the defendant, In
the case of Smith & Hartwick against
Anna M. O'Donnell, Judge Arrhbald
yesterday granted a rule to open Judg
ment and let the defendant into a de
fense. Mrs. O'Donnell's livery stable In
Providence was destroyed by lire In
January, 1899. In the following March
she contracted with the plaintiffs to
build her a new barn for J920, with the
understanding, It Is alleged, that they
would do the work at once. June
came along and the contractors had
not yet undertaken the work. She
urged them to begin, and after they
secured an additional allowance of J.'iO
to meet the Increased cost In building
material, so the defendant states,
they promised to start operations at
onco. Another month went by and no
sign of the commencement of work
appearing, Mrs. O'Donnell engaged
another party to take tho contract.
The contract with Smith & Hartwick
contained a confession of Judgment
and this was entered In the prothono
tary's olllc'e. Mrs. O'Donnell now seeks
to have the Judgment set aside and at
argument court proposes to establish
the above contentions.
QPEHMTiON
TWO OPERATIONS WITHOUT RELIEF.
"I was troubled with female weakness for eight years, and
suffered more than I can tell," writes Mrs. Gust. Moser, of
Ovando, Deerlodge County, Mont. "My disposition was
affected to such an extent, that to say a pleasant word to
anyone wns almost an impossibility. I had tro operations
performed by one of the most skilled surgeons of the West,
but did not get relief. Then, against my doctor's strict
orders, I commenced takiag Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion and ' Golden Medical Discovery, nnd also followed the
advice given in the 'Common Serine Medical Adviser. I
continued this treatment for three months, ssd to-day am
as healtlry and well ns a woman can be. I cannot thank
Dr. Pierce enough for his kind letters to me."
Such testimony cannot be read withoat the
thought, "How much suffering might have Tjeen
saved had Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription been
tried first instead of last." But "would ther timely
use of " Favorite Prescription " have effected a cure ?
That question is best answered by the testimonial
which follows. Here is a case in which the woman
physical wreck" and " suffered most;
excruciating pain." The attending ,physidan ad- 1
vised an operation. But the husband dreaded the:
knife and prevailed on his wife to try "Favorite
Prescription." The result was the usual one a
perfect and permanent cure.
OPERATION ADVISED BUT AVOIDED.
"October 12th, 1898, I wrote you for the first time," says
Mrs. Alice E. Shipley, of West Pcdot, Hardin County, Ky.
"Was very ill, confined to my bed most of the time; had.ao
appetite, pains in left ovary; could not rest ontron one side,
without sttlTering most excruciating pains. Was a perfect
wreck, physically. I underwent an examination by one of
the most prominent physicians of Louisville, Ky, He pro-
nounced my case tumor of the stomach, and advised me to
return in two veeks and have an operation perfomid. My
husband had such a dread of the ' knife ' that he prevailed
upon me to try Dr. Pierce's medicines. I took seven bot
tles of 'Fnvonte Prescription,' and two vials of 'Pellets.'
which enreel me of constipation. Have not taken anymedi
cine since the last of February. I now attend to all my
housework, cook, wash, iron and sew for a family of six.
Many have been advised by me to try your treatment, and
great are the benefits derived. My earnest prayer is that all
may write you for advice, and may God bless yott'for'the
go)d your medicines have done for me."
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a medicine
especially designed and perfectly adapted to. the
cure of diseases of women. It is purely vegetable
and cannot disagree with the weakest constitution.
It is a perfect regulator ; it dries the drains which
weaken women, heals inflammation and ulceration
and cures female weakness.

Dr. Pierce's "kind letters," and in Mrs. Shipley's
letter to her correspondence with Dr. Pierce. Every
sick and ailing woman is invited to consult Dr. Pierce
