Veiy nc. T F Coffey, lector of St.
Rose church, who has been conllned to
his room for oer a week by extieme
weakness tollowing an attack of bron
chial tiouhle. shows no signs of Im

ness thit s causing some concern.
With hlr broxchial ttouble theie Is as
roclated an element of tphold and It
l the f"-ar of complications that gives
rise to the apprehension that 1r felt.
Father Coffey suffers no pain, nor is
there any dlsti easing cough, but he Is
greatly depiessed. the indication found
In a sstem that has been Subjected to
the strain and woiry as is true of tho
'active and lahorJous life of the patient.
; Dr A F. Olllls rather Coffe's medl

Iterdav to call in consultation Dr.
'Wheeler, of this city, and Dr. Wehlau.
of Sci anion Both physicians confirm
ed the diagnosis of Dr. Olllls which
'.s given above While Father Coffey's
:ondltion cannot be said to be grave, it
s dangerous to the extent that com

would be exceedingly bad in the face
of his depleted condition
The news of Father Coffey's Illness

A Meritorious Foem by Commnnder
John McComb, of William H.
JDnvies Post No. 187, Hep,irtnicnt
Pennsylvania, O. A. R., Which
Should Do Preserved In Enduring
Form Tho Poem.
Tho Tilbune Is pleased to present to
Its leaders today a Stirling nnd beau
tiful poem bv John McComb, com
mander of William II. Davis post, No.
1ST. (J. A. It., of thlfl city.
The poem, which Is said to conjure
up before the eyes of tho old
soldlets scenes of the llelds which
their valor won nnd which. In paving
tribute to the heroic dead and living,
also touches on tho lesons of bleed
pen(e, was Inspired by the cannon
which are mounted In pietly Memorial
ptik, and which figured In tho awful
tragedv of war among the peoples of
a nation. Tho merits of the effort will
b" readily revealed In the rending of
tho Mitring lines nnd It Is sine to bo
conceded that In them Mr. McComb has
best shown his poetic spirit.
The worthiness of tho poem suppoits
the thought that it should be preserved
In enduring form, such as In tablets of
bionze, one of which to be placed
beside the cannon. Nothing would bo
more pleasing to the (Jiaud Army men
than to see these lines of tbelt com
rade preserved In a form that would be
an ov ei lasting lememlnance of the
sacrifices of the heroic soldiers of the
e.iily sixties, and at the .nine time
would convey truths and lessons tint
would not fall of tesiilts among the
youth to whom they would be brought.
Tho poem Is ns follows.

Jubilee Year. r
The rip nnd roar of shells that tore
Kiom rilled thlity-poundei.
Of Pariott iinkc, with four-Inch bore,
Were frightful peace expounders'
Tha men who heard them shriek and
crash,
And saw them huist and fly,
And felt the blood of comiades splosh
Vheio many fell to die,
Con phtuie now the absent ones
Modo vivid by the scene
Where two old-fashioned Pariott guns
Rest harmless on the green.
Through evolution men discard
What onie engendered pride.
But out old poldlers et icgatd
The things thev stood beIdo,
The muzzle-loading annon then
Were styllh In their da.
And o were Springfield musets, when
, l.ce's nimy matched this wa!
For In the year of 'Sixty-three
The diitn maiked on each gun
From Octt,vsburg the hosts of Leo
AVere southward forced to run.
As relies of the darkest dajo
This eoiintr.v ever saw,
Those guns will call to mind the wajs
Our troops maintained the law.
And though thev're mute, they yet de
clare. In their diverting form.
The valor of the men who bear
The Impress of the storm
Of four years' war, In which they
fought
To mako tills Nation fiee!
And bj their blood and pi owes', bought
The piestlge which we 6ce.
For since the das when loyal men,
Who wear the daik blue blouse,
Came home with tatteied banners,
w hen
Dif tress was In each house.
Our I'nlon's fame has been discussed
Its glories have been told
And children have outlined the trust
Bequeathed from dajs of old,
And we hove seen the sons of sires
Who woio the Blue, and Gray,
Stand side by side In battles' fires
And foreign Hoops dismay.
For friendship now unites the men
Who. forty yenis ago,
With heated blood, weie ready then
Our (lag to overthiovv,
And they who stormed with shot and
shell
The bos who wore the blue,
Would now charge to the mouth of hell
To show they're lojal too.
For Time a mightv change has wrought,
Since these old guns weie made'
And men who then against them
fought
Would w leld a Union blade.
Those foes of old now fraternize
Wherever they may meet;
And nevei fall to recognize
The worth In each complete;
They know the war In which they
fought
Revealed courageous traits
On either side; and they were taught
That our I'nlted States
Must he Intact, If we would hold
The world at loige at hay;
So now they do their best to mould
Their children In that way.

In a great many cases, because they are in a condition of womanly weakness which is
aggravated by exercise. Exercise promotes the physical health. But for the woman
there can be no sound physical health unless the womanly health is sound : so inti-
mato is the relation between local and general health and so absolute is the depend-
ence or the woman s general nealtn upon tne womanly local health. When there is
irregularity, or displacement, or femalb weakness, these conditions must first be re
moved before the general health can be established.
The claim that weak women are made strong and sick women are made well by
the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a claim supported by the testimony of
more than half a million womon. Women to whom each month brought a week of
misery, women who had suffered for years witnout relief ; women whose vigor had
been sapped by weakening drains ; womon frail of form, hollow of cheek and dull of
eye; these are 'the women who stand up to testify "I have been made well and strong
by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription." And this is but the barest statement
of the truth. Tho grateful letters received from the women cured by the " Prescrip
tion " disclose miseries which make the heart ache. They tell of years of suffering,
of inefficient medical treatment, often treating tho wrong disease. They show the
modest women shrinking from the horror of questionings, examinations and local
treatments, and enduring a growing agony rather than submit to an ordeal offensive
to her sense of decency and revolting co her modesty. Then some chance pamphlet
or the word of a friend has directed attention to dio cures of womanly diseases by
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. The treatment is begun and health is soon restored.
Many sick and ailing women take advantage of the offer of free consultation by
letter with Dr. R V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the -Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. This offer, open to all ailing women, puts at
their service the leading specialist in tho treatment and euro of female diseases, to
gether with the associate advice of his staff of nearly a score of physicians, and this
absolutely without chargo or fee. All correspondence strictly private and confidential.

Dr. R. V. PIERCE, Buffalo, N. Y.
WHAT A LUOKY WQMAN
PICKED UP.
"I had inflammation of tho internal
organs and hemorrhago for thrco months
so that I could not turn over in bed with
out help; and soreness of tho abdomen,
and also bladder trouble," writes Mrs.
Jennie Lee, of Lothridge, Alborta Dist,
N. W. T Canada. "In fact I was a com
plete wreck and tho local doctor's modicino I
would not stay on my stomach, so I had to
stop taking it, and ho told my husband I
had to ho kept quiet and he had but littlo
hopo for me. I happened to pick up a
paper with your advertisement in it, and I
thought that I would try your medicines.
I havo taken seven bottles of 'Favorito
Prescription,' six of ' Golden Medical Dis
covery' and thieo vials of 'Pleasant Pel
lots,' and from tho first day I commenced
with thum I began to get better, and soon
frot as well as ever. I havo told several
adius about your medicines and iccoru
mended thein highly. I think that if I
had not Liken your medicines I would not
have recovered. I cannot praise your med
icines too highly."
There i.i no alcohol in "Favorite Pre
scription," and it is absolutely free from
opium, cocaine and ever; other Jiarcotic,
It it in the strictest sense a temperance mod
.'. , purely vegetable in its composition
id cannot diaayreo with the weakest con-stitution.
"I KNOW THAT THEY SAVED
MY LIFE."
" I was so weak I did not have breath to
walk across my room," writes Miss Isabell
Miller, of New Provideucc, Calloway Co.,
Ky. " My periods occurred too often and
the hemorrhago would be prolonged and
tho loss of blood very excessive. I also
had fainting fits. I (lid not gain strength
from ono monthly period to another ; was
weak and nervous all tho time. Was con
fined to my bed for three months. Tho
doctor thought at first I had consumption,
after this ho said it was liver disease, and
then ho told mo he did not know what was
tho causo of my trouble, and told mo I
would nover be any better. I lived in
this way from sixteen years old to twenty
three. Thou I was advised by a kind
friend to try Dr. Pierce's Favorito Pre
scription, which I did, and beforo I had
taken two bottles of it I could woik nil
day. I took in all six bottles of the ' Fa
vorito Prescription ' and about fivo vials of
Dr. Pferco's Pellets. I used no other medi
cine. I havo never had a return of this
troublo since, and" never can praiso Doctor

stomacli, and all 6orts of aches and pains.
I was advised by fiiends to try Dr. Picreo's
medicine. In October, 1898, I began tak
ing it and felt better after taking a few
dos.es. Havo taken seven bottles of ' Fa
vorito Prescription,' two bottles of 'Golden
Medical Discovery,' three vials of Doctor
Pierce's Pellets, and two of his' Compound
Extract of Smart-Weed.' In August, 1800,
I gavo birth to a strong babv boy. Was

better in every way than I havo felt for
years. I hhall always feel that I owe my

Pellets, 1 xooula not be without them, as
they have benefited me more than any pill

' Antiseptic and Healing Suppositories.' I
havo only used' two, and that was two
months ago. Havo not' had to ueo any

I wouldyodviso e.vcry( woman who suffers,
from ulceration of tho uterus and piles to
uso Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
It is tho best medicine in tho world. Also
writo to Dr. Pierca for his advice. I havo
