DISEASES OF WORSEN.
What the Most Eminent Medical Au
thorities Say of the Ingredients
Contained in
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
WHICH AK.33J:
LADY'S SLIPPER Cjpripedium Pubescens)
BLACK COHOSH (Cimirifuga Racemosa)
UNICORN ROOT Chamalirium Ltiteum)
BLUE COHOSH Caulophyllum Thaliclroides)
GOLDEN SEAL Hydrastis Canadensis)
Lady's Slipper cures cramps, spasms
n and convulsions, and has a specific action
in painful periods, nervous twitchings,
chorea and epilepsy. It quiets irritabil
ity of the nervous system, and causes
the mind to become calm and cheerful.
Its effects are most happy in hysteria,
melancholia, sleeplessness, nervous head
aches, excitability and sensitiveness. It
is also a tonic of great power.
Black Cohosh is efficient in overcom
ing painful or suppressed periods, leu
corrhea, ovarian pains, bearing down
feelings, and the other diseases of the
Uterine system; the headaches which
accompany them and those of nervous
origin. It is employed successfully in
the treatment of nervous excitability, St.
Vitus's Dance and convulsions. It is
an appetizer of particular efficacy, is
used in rheumatic and neuralgic troub
les, and is a general as well as a uterine
tonic.
Unicorn root has distinctive medicinal
properties. It imparts tone and vigor
to all of the reproductive organs of
women, and removes diseased and ab
normal conditions. It is of the greatest
service in cases of falling or other dis
placements of the womb, and it unques
tionably makes childbirth easy and safe.
It is of great benefit in inflammation of
the bladder, dyspepsia, nausea and loss
of appetite.
Blue Cohosh prepares women; for
childbirth and makes them more com
fortable in mind and body. It prevents
miscarriages, causes labor to be easier,
shorter and less painful, and diminishes
the number of the days of confinement.
It stops the nausea and vomiting of
pregnancy and can be relied upon to
produce good results in painful or sup
pressed periods, leucorrhea, uterine in
flammation, and all the nervous symp
toms attending the diseases peculiar to
women.
Golden Seal is a valuable tonic which
is especially useful in all inflammatory,
conditions of the mucous membranes ex
emplified by uterine and vaginal irrita
tions, leucorrhea and bladder troubles.
It quickly cures nausea, vomiting, indi
gestion and dyspepsia, and increases the
appetite. It is also a regulator of the
functions of the liver and the intestines.
All of these statements can be verified
in detail by reference to King's Ameri
can Dispensatory, Bartholow's, Scud
der's and other recent standard works
on the medicinal action of the native
drugs of North America.
The marvellously curative effects of
the special combination of these reme
dies in one medicine, namely,
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
is testified to by the unanimous praises
it has received from many thousands of
women, each of whom has been restored
to health by it, after suffering from some

is taken, and is so firmly established in
popular favor that the carping criticisms

who pose as reformers and show their

drawing room windows open on the lawn.
Bunny, It's the psychological moment.
Where's that mask?"
I produced It with a hand whose trem
bling I tried In vain to still, and could have,
died for Raffles when he made no com
ment on what he could not fall to notice.
Ills own hands were firm and cool as he
adjusted my ma.sk tor me and then his
own.
"By Jove, old hoy," he whispered cheer
ily, "you look about the greatest rufllan
I ever saw! Those masks alone will down
a nigger, If we meet one. But I'm glad I
remembered to tell you not to shave. You'll
pass fpr Whltechapel If the worst comes to
the worst and you don't forget to talk the
lingo. Better sulk llko a mule If you're
not sure of it, and leave the dialogue to
me; but, please our stars, there will be no
need. Now, are you ready?"
"Quite."
"Got your gag?"
"Tes."
"Shooter?"
"Tes."
"Then follow me."
In an Instant we were over the wall, In
another on tha lawn behind the house.
There was no moon. The very stars in
their courses had veiled themselves for our
benefit. I crept at my leader's heels to
some French windows opening upon a shal
low veranda. He pushed. They yielded.
"Luck again," he whispered; "nothing
but luck! Now for a light."
And the light came!
A good score of electric burners glowed
red for the fraction of a second, then
rained merciless white beams into our
blinded eyes. When we found our sight
four revolvers covered us, and between two
of them the colossal frame of Reuben
Rosenthall shook with a wheezy laughter
from head to foot.
"Good evening, boys," he hiccoughed.
"Glad to see ye at last. 8hlft foot or
finger, you on the left, though, and you're
a dead boy. I mean you, you greaser!" ha
roared out at Raffles. "I know you. I'va
been waltln' for you. I've been watchin'
you all this week! Ducky smart you
thought yerself, didn't you? One day beg
gln', next time shammin' tight, and next
one o' them old pals from Klmberley what
never coma when I'm In. But you left tha
same tracks every day, you buggtns, an' the
same tracks every night, all round tha
blessed premises."
"All right, guv'nor." drawled Raffles;
"don't excite. It's a fair cop. We don't
sweat to know 'ow you brung it orf. On'y
don't you go for to shoot, 'cos we 'lnt
awnied, s'help me Gord!"
"Ah, you're a knowln' one," said Rosen
thall, fingering his triggers. "But you've
struck a knowln er."
"Ho, yuss, we Know all abaht thet! Bet
a thief to ketch a thief ho, yuss."
My eyes had torn themselves from the
round black muxzlcs, from the accursed
diamonds that had Ik i n our snare, thi
pasty pljt-face of the overfed pugilist, and
the flaming cheeks and hook nosa of
Hosunthall himself. I was looking beyond
them at the doorway tilled with quivering
silk and plush, bla'k faces, while eye
balls, woolly pates. But u sudden silence
recalled my attention to the millionaire.
And only his nuse retained its color.
"What d'ye mean?" he whispered with
a hoarse oath. "Spit It out, or, by Christ
inas, I'll drill you!"
"Whorl raVe thet brikewater?" drawled
Raffles coolly.
"Eh?"
Rosenthatl'a revolver were describing
widening orbits.
"Whort price thet brikewater old I. D.
B.T"
"Where In hell did you get hold o" that?"
asked Rosenthall, with a rattle in his
thick neck, meant for mirth.
"You may well arst." says Hurtles. "It's
all over tha pllce w era I come from."
"Who can spread such rot?"
"I dunno," says Rattles; ''arst the

livid with emotion. Guilty conscience
never declared Itself in plainer terms. For
a moment his small eyes bulged like cur
rants In the suet of his face; the next,
he had pocketed Ms pistols on a profes
sional Instinct, and was upon us with his
ruts.
"Out o" the light out o' the light!"
yelled Rosenthall In a freniy.
He wus too late. No sooner had the
burly pugilist obstructed his fire than
Raffles was through the window at a
bound; while I, for standing still and say
ing nothing, was scientifically felled to the
floor.
I canont have been many moments with
out my senses. When I recovered them
there was a great to-do In the garden,
but I had the drawing room to myself.
I sat up. Rosenthall and Purvis were
rushing about outside, cursing the Kaffirs
and nagging at each other.
"Over that wall, I tell yer!"
'I tell you It was this one. Can't you
whistle fur the police?"
"Police be damned! I've bad enough of
the blessed police."
"Then we'd better get back and make
surd of the other rotter."
"Oh, make sure o' yer skin. That's what
you'd better do. Jala, you black bog, if
I catch you skulkin'
I never heard the threat. I was creeping
from the drawing-room on my hands and
knees, my own revolver swinging by its
steel :lng from my teeth.
For an Instant I thought that the hall
also was deserted. I was wrong, and I
crept upon a Kaffir on all fours. Poor
devil, I could not bring myself to deal him
a base blow, but I threatened him most
hideously with my revolver, and left the
white teeth chattering In his black head as
I took the stairs three at a time. Why I
went upstairs In that decisive fashion, aa
though It were my only course, I cannot
explain. But garden and ground floor
seemed alive with men, and I might hare
dona worse.
I turned luto the first room I came to. It
was a bedroom empty, though lit up; and
never shall I forget how I started as I
entered, on encountering the awful villain
that was myself at full length in a pier
glass! Masked, armed and ragged, 1 was
Indeed fit carrion for a bullet or the hang
man, and to one or the other I made up my
mind. Nevertheless, I hid myself In the
wardrobe behind the mirror; and there I
stood shivering and cursing my fate, my
folly, und Pifflee most of all Raffles first
and last for I daresay half an hour. Then
the wardrobe door was flung suddenly open;
they had stolen Into the room without a
sound; and I was hauled downstairs, an
Ignominious captive.
Gross scenes followed in the hall; the
ladles were now upon the stage, and at
sight of the desperate criminal they
screamed with one accord. In truth I must
have given them fair cause, though my
mask was now torn away and hid nothing
but my left ear. Rosenthall answered their
shrieks with a roar of silence; the woman
with, the blU-Stfong. tali' wor at bin

shrilly In return; the place became a Babel
impossible to describe. I remember wonder
ing how long it would be before the police
appeared. Purvis and the ladies were for
calling them In and giving me In charge
without delay. Rosenthall would not hear
of It. He swore that he would shoot man
or woman who left his sight. He had had
enough of the police. He waa not going
to have them coming there to spoil sport;
he was going to deal with me In his own
way. With that he dragged me from all
other handB, flung me against a door, and
sent a bullet crashing through the wood
within an Inch of my ear.
"You drunken fool! It"ll be murder!"
shouted Purvis, getting in the way a second
time.
"Wha" do I care? He's armed. Isn't he?
I shot him in self-defense. It'll be a warn
ing to others. Will you stand aside, or
d'ye want It youreslf?"
"You're drunk," said Purvis, still between
us. "I saw you take a neat tumberful
since you come in, and it's made you drunk
as a fool. Pull yourself together, old man.
You ain't a-going to do what you'll be
sorry for."
"Then I won't shoot at him, I'll only
shoot roun' an" roun' the beggar. You're
quite right, ole feller. Wouldn't hurt him.
Great mistake. Roun' an' roun'. There
like that!"
His freckled paw shot up over Purvis'
shoulder, mauve lightning came from his
ring, a red flash from his revolver, and
shrieks from the women as the reverbera
tions died away. Some splinters lodged in
my hair.
Next Instant the prise fighter disarmed
him; and I was safe from the devil, but
finally doomed to the deep sea. A police
man was in our midst. Ha had entered
through the drawing room window; he was
an officer of few words and creditable
promptitude. In a twinkling he had the
handcuffs on my wrists, while the pugilist
explained the situation, and his patron re
viled the force and Its representative with
Impotent malignity. A fine watch they
kept; a lot of good they did; coining in
when all was over and the whole house
hold might have been murdered in their
sleep. The officer only deigned to notice
Elm as he marched me off.
"We know all about you, sir," said he
contemptuously, and he refused the sov
ereign Purvis proffered. "You will be see
ing me again, sir, at Marylebono."
"Shall I coma now?"
"As you please, sir. I rather think the
other gentleman requires you more, and I
don't fancy this young man means to give
much trouble."
"Oh, I'm coming quietly," I said.
And I went.
In silence we traversed perhaps 100 yards.
It must have been midnight. We did not
meet a soul. At last 1 whispered:
"How on earth did you manage It?"
"Purely by luck," said Raffles. "I had
the luck to get clear away through know
ing every brick of those back garden walls,
and the double luck to have these togs
with the rest over at Chelsea. The helmet
ls one of a collection I made up at Oxford;
here it goes over this wall, and we'd bet
ter carry tha coat and belt before we meet
a real officer. I got them once for a fancy
ball ostensibly and thereby hangs a yarn.
I always thought they might come In use
ful a second time. My chief crux tonight
was getting rid of the hansom that brought
me back. I sent him off to Scotland Yard
with ten bob and a special message to
good old Mackenzie. The whole detective
department will be at Rosentball's In about
half an hour. Of course, I speculated on
our gentleman's hatred of the police an
other huge slice of luck. If you'd got away,
well and good; If not, I fait ha was the
man to play with his mouse as long as
possible. Yes, Bunny, It's been mora of a
costume piece than I Intended, and we've
