Eminent Doctors Praise its Ingredients. We refer to that boon to weak, nervous, suffering women known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Dr. John Fyfeone of the Editorial Staff of The Eclectic Medical Review says of Unicorn root (Hehmim Dioica) which Is one of the chief ingredients of the "Fa vorite Prescription” : "A remedy which invariably acta as a uter ine lnvlgorator • * * makes for normal ac tivity of the entire reproductive system.* He continues "in Helonias we have a medica ment which more fully answers the above Purposes than any other drug u tth which I am acquainted. In the treatment of diseases pe culiar to women it is seldom that a case is seen which does not present some indication for this remedial agent.” I)r. Fyfe further says: "The following are among the leading Indications for Helonias (Unicom root). Pain or aching in the back, with lencorrhoea: atonic tweak) conditions of the reproductive organs of women, mental depression and ir ritability. associated with chronic diseases of the reproductive organs of women, constant sensation of heat in the region of the kid neys; menorrhagia (flooding', due to a weak ened condition of the reproductive system: amenorrhoea (suppressed or absent monthly periods). arising from or accompanying an abnormal condition of the digestive organs and ansetnic (thin blood) habit; dragging sensations in the extreme lower part of the abdomen.” If more or less of the above symptoms are present, no invalid woman can do better than take Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, one of the leading ingredi ents of which is Unicorn root, or Helonias, and the medical properties of which it most faithfully represents. Of Golden Seal root, another prominent Ingredient of "Favorite Prescription," Prof. Finley Elltngwood, M. D.. of Ben nett Medical College. Chicago, says: "It is an important remedy in disorders of the womb. In all catarrhal conditions * * • and general enfeeblement, it is useful.” Prof. John M. Sctidder. M. D.. late of Cincinnati, says of Golden Seal root: "In relation to it« general effects on the system, there ie no medicine in use atunit which there is ruch general unanimity of opinion. It Is unirowally regarded as the tonic useful in all debilitated states.” Prof. Barthoiow. M. P.. of Jefferson Medical College, says of Golden Seal: "Valuable in uterine hemorrhage, menor rhagia (flooding) and congestive dysmenor rhuea (painful menstruation).” Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription faith fully represents all the above named in gredients and cures the diseases for which they are recommended. ^Thompson's Eya W«t«r Use the Means at Hand.

ULCERS FOR 30 YEARS. Painful Eruptions From Knees to Feet Seemed Incurable—Cuticura Ends Misery. Another of those remarkable cures by Cuticura, after doctors and all else had failed, is testified to by Mr. M. C. Moss of Gainesville, Texas, in the following letter: “For over thirty years I suffered from painful ulcers and an eruption from my knees to feet, and could find neither doctors nor medicine to help me, until I used Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills, which cured me in six months. They helped me the very first time I used them, and I am glad to write this so that others suffering as I did may be saved from misery.” Belgium's Good Work. Though Belgium has an area of but 11.373 square miles, which is less than one-fourth the size of the state of New York, and a population of only 6.500,000, it has accomplished within twenty years a mighty task, opening up to the world a vast territory cov ering an are«a of 800,000 square miles with a native and white population of about 30,000,000.

TALE OF BRUTALITY SHOCKS LISTENERS IN COURT ROOM Agnes Renaude. mother of little Ger trude Hyland, told in the General Ses sions Court at New York the sordid, brutal story of her life with Gustav Dinzer, her common law husband, and how the man, after she had brought the child to live with them, began abusing the helpless infant and finally, in a fit of jealousy, beat her to death and compelled the mother to help him to hide the body. At the end of the horrible recital the woman went into violent hysterics. The story began with the young woman's relations with Hyland, the father of her baby. Then she told of meeting Dinzer and her life with him, until her own child was taken to his home to live. "Up to that time,” she said, "my re lations with Dinzer were pleasant. After the baby came Dinzer began to mistreat me. He began to hit me with his shoes. He'd punch Gertie and slap her in the face and call her a ‘brat.’ She wouldn't call him ’Father' and that made him mad. “Once he knocked her down so hard that she lost her breath and her eyes rolled up. When I threatened to leave him he told me if I did he belonged to a secret order which would punish me. Then he showed me a knife. He said | it was dipped writh poison. After a while he began hitting Gertie every time she came near him. He used to say, ‘Keep that brat away from my children.’ I begged him please not to hit Gertie, but he would not listen. Horrors of Tragic Night. “On the night of Sept. 4 we came in about midnight. He'd already hit me on the stoop. He told me to get some beer, and I was afraid because Gertie was there. Then he pulled off a shoe and hit me on the head with the heel.” For the first time the plaintive mono tone of the woman was charged with a note of acute bitterness. She took off her hat with its veil, and bent her rather shapely head until the black mourning boa at the back showed and put her hand in the place where the boot heel struck. She paused a mo ment, swallowing convulsively and moistening her lips. She did not vouchsafe a glance at Dinzer, but the accused murderer never removed his eyes from the woman’s face, biting his lip and drumming with his fingers on the table in front of him to conceal his nervousness. “I cried out with the pain and he went out,” the witness continued. "Then he came back where I was sitting at a table trying to stop the blood from running over my face, and he hit me with an iron bar. Then he grabbed the baby out of the bed, car ried her in the parlor and threw her on the floor. He knelt down by her and hit her eight times with his fist as hard as he could. “ ‘Don't hit her any more,’ I said. ‘For God’s sake, don’t. I'll take her away to-morrow.’ ‘I’ll throw her out on the fire escape,’ he said. Tries to Save the Baby. “I ran into the kitchen with the baby, trying to get out. but the door was locked. 1 held the baby in my arms all the time. I backed up against the wall. He grabbed up an iron bat with a hook and a ball on it. He hit me on the head again with the iron bar and cut my head. 1 staggered, but I held the baby fast. The blood ran down in my fall and the baby was making a little bit of a faint cry—a kind of a moan—that was all. “I said to him, ‘Please give me a drink of water.’ Still holding the iron bar, he drew some water and brought a glass to me. He sat the glass down, after I was through, and came back to me. I tried to shield the baby with my arms, but he hit her in the face. She gave one little cry—she said ’Ag gie’—and stopped. “He grabbed her out from my arms and took her back in the parlor, drop ping her on the floor and hit her three times more. I ran in and fell down and tried to cover my baby up. He hit me again, but I held on. Then he got up and said: ‘Here, take your kid, she’s dead.’ “ ‘Oh, Gus. is she dead?’ I said. ‘“Yes,’ he said, ’she’s dead. Go wash your brat's face. Go wash her corpse.’ Plan to Hide Body. “I washed her little face, but she was dead—just as he said. Then he told me we must get rid of the body. I said to wait until morning and then we’d go to the undertaker who buried my mother. He said wc must get rid i of the body right away—that if 1 did ! not do as he said he’d fix me, too. “I took off her little clothes, and. oh. : judge, they were all bloody. I put them in a tub to soak, dressed her in clean | clothes, and he took her in his arms and we went out together. I didn’t say anything. I was too scared. “We walked and walked without meeting anybody. After a while we came to a doorway. He said we’d leave her there. He went in alone, in a minute he came out—he didn’t have her any more. “And we went hack to the house. I j didn’t speak, but he threatened to fix me if I said anything. We went to bed, but I didn’t sleep. I was awake all night thinking about Gertie. I think he slept a while.” Woman Falls in Hysteria. Here the examination ended. Agnes Renaude had sobbed again when she spoke of her baby’s bloody garments, but she did not really break down un-, til she started from the court. Her face was working as she neared the witness room door, and when it opened she shrieked: “Oh, Gertie,” twice and fell forward in hysteria. A court at tendant caught her and carried her out of hearing. Dozens of men in the room had been wiping their eyes for a good while be fore this outburst came. They got up with twitching undorlips and filed out slowly. But Dinzer hadn’t winced. His face whitened around the nostrils, but he kept half a grin frozen on his face and he walked out steadily enough.— New York Journal. Austrian Joins American Army. A recent enlistment at the regular army barracks in Si. Louis was that of Tolbert Von Watson, a native of Vienna. His father is an officer in the Austrian army and the young man is a cousin of Austria’s military attache in Washington. Private Von Watson speaks and writes nine languages. He is 26 years old and has studied medi cine in this country as well as in the Austrian capital. The voting man has traveled extensively, including one tour around the world with his sister. He is very much infatuated with America and gives as his reasons for joining the hospital corps of the army that it will give him an excellent op portunity to learn English and study medicine at the same time. Seattle Celebrates Birthday.

A Georgia Goose Story. “Yes, sir," said the Georgia hunter, a drove of wild geese came flying over, and, for a wonder, they were all so close together that for a length of a mile and a half they hid the sun, so that the chickens went to roost at midday.
