ACHE
Is only one form ef the suffering result
ing from a diseased condition of the
sensitive womanly organism. The only
way to cure the headache is to cure the
diseases which cause it.
The use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription has been the means of curing
thousands of women of headache, back
ache, female weakness and other forms
of disease peculiar to women. It estab
lishes regularity, dries weakening drains,
heals inflammation and ulceration and
cures bearing-down pains.

could not do my house work. I had to ait down
to wash the dishes, even. Iu the year iS7lvva

times that Cod would take me. One day 1
thought I would write to Dr. rierce. In a few

medicine, and to-day lama well woman. I have
no headache, no pain at all, I used alwayi to
have headaches previous to the monthly period,
and audi pain that I would roll on the floor in
agony. This aometlmca would occur every two
week, and I wot-'.d be very weak afterward. I
was iu pain, all over. My feet would Blip from

THE PEANUT'S FOOD VALUE.
It Is Not Yet Properly Appreciated
hi the United States.
I'rom the New V01U Sun.
The peanut U bo difi'iunt in appellant e fi- m
the lic.111 criil pci nnd it i put lu mli widi'ly
different uo that it ii not u-ually ll.ousht of at
bi'lontrliift to the Mine family, but .1 Mmlv of
the growins plant at onfc, Miovrs the Mmldp.
Of thu ut of thij pc. mm, Mrs Abel, a food
lApirc of the United Mails agrlcullunl depart
ment, fuys:
"Of the 4,00O,CKi0 imhcli of nuts r.'hrd in this
country 2,000,000 bjsheli aie used .is icaaled
pcautiU. The remainder of the crop ami the
peanut of an inferior grade go to the coufec
tloncr and jppcar in -"nut randy nnd other
confection. Therefore, at present, the peanut, as
wed amontr w, is lurJly to be comidcird a
food, but, a already nld, only as a food accc-i-fory
or luxury. It K quite puiJole, lionet ir,
that this highly nutritious nnd cheap piodtirl of
our Southern fields may come to bo u-ul in more
wajs than It is ut present, and especially in
combination with other food mateilaU
"The roasted nut, around into ar oily mejl and
generally mixed with watrr to the (ouusttiuy of
butter, has been put on the market and Is ud
to spread on bread. Them ate those who like Its,
flaor when it i fresh. There fUTins to be but
little known n to its digtstihlilty in thU form.
"At present tho Ameilcan peanut crop is not
larne enough to more than supply the roaster
and the confectioner, hence the cxpi cslng of oil
from the peanut lias never become etablUlitd
here, but in Kuropc largo quantities of the African-raised
nut are um for this purpose. 'Jlie
shelled nuts contain from SO to M per cent, of
oil. The oil is Bald to be of falily good flavor,
but inferior to olive oil. In 1S08 some 60,000
tons of the nuts were utcd in Marseilles alone
for oil raaMnir. The unhmked nuts aie passed
between n julr of rapidly revolving grooved 10U.
cis and thu shells and led inner sVlus aie then
removed by a winnowing process with the use
ot air cuirents and ovulating sieves. The clean
ed kernels arc ground nnd then enveloped In
fibrous mats and pressed to extract the oil.
"Accoidir.g to Ilranut, 'the first cold pre.bure
jltlds 10 to IS per cent, of very fire table oil.
Tho residue is then biokcn up, nioUlemd with
water and attain cold picssed, yielding 7 to 8
per cent, of more or less valuable oil, ned for
tabic purposes and binning. The lefUlue from
this is healed and then pressed, giving 7 to S
per cent, more oil, unfit for table uic, but need
for soap and lubricating.' Tho finer grades of
oil arc sold as salad oil alone or mixed with
ollvo oil."
When the oil has been pressed fiom the ground
peanut, the mass remaining, called oil cake, is
used for fattening cattle. Some experiments have
also been nude as to Its food nature fur human
"Wings. Containing ns it docs, 47 per cent, of
piotein and 0 per cent, of fat nnd ttanh, and
costing about Ave cents a pound, this food at
tracted tho attention ot German scientists, The
oil cako was broken up and cooked a long time
in water. Mo-,t ot those who tried it ale it with
apparent relish, not only once, but again and
again. The use of the cake, however, never
passed brjond the experimental stage. '
The troublo with vegetables of the peianl
bean families, which are the met nutritious of
any, is that while, they lontain large quantities
of food comtltueiU thee constituents arc nut
so readily digested as aie tho same nutriments
when coutaltnd in 01 her food, hence their value
is corre.pondlngly less. While iroplt Itv and
thrive on a purely vegetable diet the condmlim
arrived at by Mrs, Abel, us llio uvilt of t.r
observations and reading. It that a mixed diet
of both flesh and vegitables Is by far the most
advantageous in tin long 11111 to the majority of
people.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications as they cannot teach the
diseased poitlon of tho ear, Theic I) only one
way to cuio deafness, and that is by conntltu
tlonal remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tubo it inflamed
oti havo a rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the re
sult, and unless the IntUmmutlnn can be taken
out and this tubo restoied to its normal condi
tion, hearing will bo riestroyiil forever! nine
raicH out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case
of DeatucM (caused by cuUuh) that cannot be

Any person takes Bcrlous cljunce.i In
neglecting nn attack of plUs, because
of the tendency to becomochronlo and
further the danger of ulceration and
forming of fistula, both very difficult
to cure.
Most pile cures are simple ointments
or salves, which relieve temporarily
but nre useless ns far as making' r.
euro Is concerned.
The safest remedy for any form of
piles whethor itching or protruding" Is
the Pyrnmld Pile Cure becauso freo
from cocaine nnd optntes. It is In sup
pository form to bo used at night and
pnlnless'nnd caues no detention from
dally occupation, and the many cures
mado by It have mndo It famous In
every corner of the United States nnd
Canada and nny druggist will tell you
It enjoys a greater demand and popu
larity than nny pile remedy ever
placed on the market.
Mr. James Kenton, of Memphis,
Tcnn., says: "I suffered from Itching
piles for two years and found nothing
that would relievo me permanently:
not even mercurial ointment Beemod
to reach mv ensc. Hut a fifty-con:
box of tho Pyramid Pile Cure, which
I bought at my druggist's cured 1110
entirely and for months past 1 have
hid no return of the disease."
Mrs. Wllllnm Kenmore, ot fouth
Omnha, writes: "I suffered torturo
fiom protruding piles for a large part
of my life und had long since given
up tiny hope of cine, ns T dared nbt
risk an operation und could not afford
the expense anyway. I had often road
advertisements about the Pyramid
Pile Cure, but never placed confidence
In patent medicines, but I tried the
Pyramid in sheer desperation, and was
delighted and surprised to receive
marked relict and benefit from the
first few applications. It took five
fifty-cent boxes to euro me complete
ly, and no one can appreciate my feel
ing of gratitude who' has not suffered
as I have."
For nny case ot Itching, piotmdlng

Wall Street Review.
Nivv Yoik, Dec. 31. The year closed on Ihe
stock cubango with the buying po.vcr of the
market well maintained, ns is evident fiom the
vi-liune of the day's business and from survey ot
the changes for the day. In n number ol im
portant tdcks these impiove. The full utiength
of tho inailet was not maintained to the cloc
and prices showed a tendency to slip back dui
li.g the latter part of the iliy. in spite of tha
sustaining force of the extraordinary strength in
a few stocks, but the i losing day ot thu year
and ot the century was ueveitheltss signalized
by the highest prices for the year or for all
past time in nut a lew stocks. The most
conspicuous of these was Penna., which opened
with an upward rush under a congestion oC b'.ij
lug orders which called tor mi less than lO.UJu
fbuies to be immediately purchased at the open
lug. This carried tho pi he up to $1.4Dl. Ill
price gut back to the hlth point iigaiu after
the opening lush, but did rot hold and closed
nearly a point luvver, it. 1'aul crept up peril
ously near to l'eiuisylvani.Vlc-vel, oclllng nt one
lime only below tho great trunk Hue stock.
The .-llisorptlon of Northern I'acitle was very
heavy, tl.e price rising at the opening 3 over
Saturday under a comix ting rush of orders; to
buy at the maiket. l.nur in the day there was
n lecrudescnee of strength in the Krie Mccks tin.
der the inthience of the semi-official announce,
mint ot the terms of the bond issue for financing
the punha of the I'eimsylvaniii dial company.
The tlmt picfcrrfd stock was rushed uji to CHI.
which was SU ovr Saturdiy. The prices of all
three stocks mentioned were high above all pre.
vie us lecorils. The same was true ot ollur
stocks iu the lallioad list, but the geneial
movement otherwise was In a large extent in
svmpathy with tlin movement in this group.
Total sales, ,J!,,UoO.
There Was some diminution In the buying of
bonds and prices declined n some poitlon ot
the list while advancing at others. Total sales,
par value, $1,23,000. The notable relapse In the
prices of government bonds is a significant n
minder that the price premium commanded by
the prices of refunding into tho new 2s is no
longer payable by tie government, the refund
