Bloomsburg Team Did Not Appear to Piny Final Game of Series with the Defenders, Several hundred enthuslusts who hud gathered In St. John's hall, on Stone avenue, last evening, to witness the de ciding game between the homo Defend ers and tho Bloomsburg champions, were sadly disappointed when, Instead of the players appearing In the arena, at the moment set to "play ball," Mr, Mcarnth, manager of the Defenders, stepped forward with n telegram In ills band and announced its contents, It was to the effect that tho Blooms burg team could not bo present, nnd there was a good deal of annoyance and disgust manifested at their failure to keep the agreement. Tho abovo teams have phul'd two games, nnd ench tenm won on their own ground. Last night's match was to decide tho championship of this sec tion.

TUB CROWN of womanhood in motherhood. But uncnay lien tho head that wears tho crown or nnticipatcn this coronation, when thoro is a tack of womanly strength to hear tho burdens of maternal dignity and duty. And how few women cbmo to this critical timo with adequato strength. Tho reason why so many women sink under tho strain of' motherhood in becauso thoy aro unprepared. Is preparation then required for motherhood? asks tho young woman. " And overy experienced moiher answers 'Yes." "I unhesitatingly ad vise expectant mothers to uso Dr. Pierce's Favor ito Prescription," writes Mrs. Stephens. Tho reason for this advico is that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best preparative for tho mater nal function. No matter how healthy and strong a woman may be, sho cannot uso " Favorite Pro scription " as a preparativo for maternity without gain of health and comfort. But it is the women who aro not strong who best appreciate tho great benefits received from tho use of " Favorito Pre scription." For one thing its use makes the baby's advent practically painless. It has in many cases reduced days of suffering to a fow brief hours. It has "changed tho period of anxiety and strugglo into a time of easo and comfort. "I take pleasure in informing you of the birth of a boy in perfect health, on May i8th, 1899," writes Mrs. I,. K. Corti, of Waltonvillc, Penna., Box 25. "I cannot find words suffi ciently strong to express to you tny thanks, for baby's com ing was almost without pain, and when my husband arrived with the doctor the child was already born. The neighbors who were with me and my husband and the doctor could not believe their eyes. Having suffered so much before I never believed myself able to bear a living child. I tell every body this happy event was due by the help of God to your medicines. I shall never be without your medicines hence forth, and shall never fail in recommending your ' Favorite Prescription.' I have used the medicines which you pre scribed with the best results. Our hearts are full of grati tude to you for your medicines, which have given us the happiness of having a living child of our own, after so much suffering and disappointment. "I recommend Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription to all young women who are in the same condition that I was in as one of the best remedies in existence. I have used. eight .bottles and find myself in perfect health. Accept my best wishes for your welfare to the end of your days." "I gladly recommend Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription," writes Mrs. J. W. G. Stephens, of Mila, Northumberland Co., Va. "Before my third little boy was born I took six bottles. He is the finest child and has been from birth, and I suffered very much less than I ever did before at mater nity. I unhesitatingly advise expectant mothers to use the ' Favorite Prescription.' " The benefits of Dr. Pierce's Favorito Prescription do not begin with the baby's coming, nor do they end there. It cures or prevents tho nausea from which so many expectant mothers suffer. It nourishes the nerves and strengthens them, so curing nervousness and the sleeplessness almost inseparable from a nerv ous condition. It promotes a healthy appetite, and keeps the mother physically strong and mentally cheerful. After the baby's coming the use of " Fa vorite Prescription" will contribute to a quick convalescence. It' is tho best of tonics and nervines, giving real strength which no mere stimulant can give. Tho mistake of using alcoholic beverages to build up the mother's strength and to increase the baby's nutrition is constantly being pointed out by physicians. Dr. Pierce's Favorito Prescription contains no alcohol and is free from all narcotics. It gives strength to the mother and increases the flow of "tho nutritive secretions on which the baby is fed, and on the healthfulness of which his growth depends. t "Having used your 'Favorite Prescription,' I thought I would let you know the result," writes Mrs. Katie Auliker, of 754 Pat Street, Alliance, Ohio. "Two years ago I used two bottles of it and in April the baby was born before the doctor came, I was not very sick. Baby is now fourteen months old and weighs thirty pounds. Several neighbors are using Dr. Pierce's medicine through my telling them about it. One lady says, ' Before commenc ing Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription I had to vomit every day, but after I got the medi cine from the first spoonful that I took I stopped vomiting.' It has done the same thing for me. It is a God-send for women." Remember, that tho claims made for "Favorito Prescription" are all based upon the words of tho women who have tried the medicine and proved its value. Thousands of women join with Mrs. Stephens in saying, "I unhesitatingly advise expectant mothers to use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription," or like Mrs. Corti, " recommend it to all young women as one of the best remedies in existence."
