Cumberland Valley News NINETEEN CASES ' TYPHOID FEVER Recent Outbreak Causes State Health Department to In vestigate Water Supply Mcchanicsbyrg, Pa., March 26. Typhoid fever, which has become prevalent here during the past week, and threatens to become epidemic, has become a condition of much concern. Yesterday engineers of the State Heajth Department visited the source of the water supply and the results of their investigation will soon be known. In the meantime esidents were advised to boil all water for drinking and cooking pur poses. The situation appears to have de veloped suddenly, as people in gen eral scarcely knew there were cases of typhoid in town until the two deaths occurred on Monday night, those of Miss Delia H. Myers and Miss Elizabeth Coft'man. It is said • at there are at present nineteen i .iscs in this place. Daily Health Talks The Troubles Women Have BY L. MAC LEAN, M. D. Probably no man in America was ever better qualified to successfully treat tlie diseases peculiar to women than Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo. Y. The cases that come to him run into many thousands, giving him an experience that rarely comes to any one man. Dr. Pierce found that in nearly every case there were certain vegetable growths which rarely tailed to give prompt relief in those feminine disorders from which so many women suffer. He combined these roots and herbs into a tem perance medicine that he called Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, for that is precisely what it was. This medicine is sold in both liquid and tablet form by druggists everywhere. Favorite Preseriptibn is a distinct remedy for women and acts directly upon the organs that characterize the sex. It is not necessary to take a long course of treatment with this standard medicine. A weakly, sick ly, baokachy, headachy, nervous, de spondent woman, with regular or ir regular pains—with feminine disor ders that come in youth or middle ge—is pretty sure to find in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription the exact remedy that her condition i alls for. and to find it after a very few doses are taken. Why women should allow themselves to stay sick when a very little money spent for this remedy will probably make tl-.em well, is something no one can explain. All women who suffer from femi nine disorders are invited to write the Faculty of the Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, X. Y., for free confidential consultation and advice, no charge being made for this high profes > uitl service. This will enable rive woman to benefit by the ad • of tlie distinguished corps of physicians which Dr. Pierce has gathered about him in his celebrated Buffalo institution. U'lien constipation is present with feminine disorders. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets should be taken along with Favorite Prescription. Try them now! AVOID COUGHLT and COUGHERif!
