What the Most Eminent Medical Au
thorities Say of the Ingredients
Contained in
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
WHICH AR,B3s
LADY'S SLIPPER (Cyprtpedium Pubescens)
BLACK COHOSH (Cimiciuga Kacemosa)
UNICORN ROOT (Chamalirium Lideum)
BLUE COHOSH (Caulophyllum Thaliciroides)
GOLDEN SEAL (Hydrastis Canadensis)
Lady's Slipper cures cramps, spasms
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
; ' . V
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, leucorrhca, 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
dcr's and other recent standard works
on the medicinal action of the native
drugs of North .America.
The marvellously curative effects cf
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
one or more .of the diseases peculiar to
her sex. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription ic 1IAF in that it is the one medi

patients and tell them exactly what they
are taking. This Dr. Pierce gladly
does," because the remedy has thousands
of cures to its credit, and is made by
such an intricate process that it cannot
be successfully imitated.

table ingredients, namely, roots crathered
in the native woods and which contain
the healing principles elaborated by Na

Pierce's Favorite Prescription
in that it contains
absolutely no al
cohol, and is free from all narcotics and
other poisonous principles, and hence
can be taken by the maiden, and wife,
and the elderly matron and spinster with
perfect safety and the assurance that it
will never establish a drug habit. Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription
in that it is a remedy
devised by a physician
with an experience of over one-third of
a century in treating women's diseases,
and is not a patent medicine in any
sense of the word. It is, however, a
household remedy which cures ninety
eight per cent, of the cases for which it
is taken, and is so firmly established in
popular favor that the carping criticisms
and unwarranted denunciations of those
who pose as reformers and show their
ignorenrc by acting as amateur advisers
of the .ck cannot undermine the peo
ple's well founded faith in it.

Adviser, a non-technical medical book
of iooS pages, profusely illustrated, con

will be sent free on receipt of stamps to

Prominent Colored Man Dead.
Erastus Callahan, one of the old-time
colored men of Lincoln, known perhaps us
well as any citizen of the capital, died last
night. His body was found in his room at
Eleventh and O streets. Callahan was an
old-time republican, and was the subject of
many practical Jokes by politicians. Some
time ago a petition was circulated to get
him appointed police matron, and it was
not until a large number of citizens had
signed it that Callahan was told the police
matron had to be a woman. This almost
broke his heart, and did take away consid
erable of his republican enthusiasm. He
has been working as a porter in various
saloons for a number of years.

mercial club to look Into the mutter of mu
nicipal ownership of the traction company'

tho governor of Kansas for the return to
Bourbon county of Philip Melntyre, wanted
for forgery- Melntyre Is under arrest In
Dawes county.
Lawyers Are Apathetic.
The arrival of a number of attorneys
to attend supreme court has created some
talk regarding tho meeting of lawyers
Wednesday fur the purpose of discussing
the Burkett federal Judicial district bill
and a candidate for the place to be created.
There Is considerable doubt as to the abil
ity of the lawyers to agree, on a candidate
and a serious doubt regarding the endorse
ment of the bill as Introduced. There ex
ists considerable sentiment to amend the
bill so as to divide the state into four
districts and make It mandatory to try
cases In the division In which they
originate. This is an Idea endorsed by
Chief Justice Sedgwick and a number of
others.
When asked If he would be a candidate
for the Judgeship when the new district
is created, Judge Sedgwick said:
"Sume one asked me a few months ago
If I would accept the place if it were ten
dered me and I replied I would. That is
as close as I have come to announcing my
candidacy.
It is talked among the lawyers that Judge
Calkins of Kearney is also a candidate for
the prospective job.

Ice Is approxlmutt ly 75 per cent higher to
(Jinafia consumers than It was a week ugo.
And that is not all, for dialers aru pre
dicting it will go still higher before thu
summer Is over.
It is the opinion of W. R. Wood of
People's Coal and Ice company thut
public may well say, about August:
doesn't make any dlfterence what I have to
pay, but give me tho Ice. Cun I get the
Ice at all'.' If I can, charge me what you
like."
Mr. Wood says the available Ice In
Omaha, Including the Talbot company's
estimate of its dally output of sixty tons
from January 1 to May 1 and 1-U tons dally
from May 1 to November 1, will amount to
only about 4o,0oo tons. Between Mi.0.0 and
iV.OOi tons of ice were used in Omaha last
year. These figures do not consider the
South Omaha packers. Swift Is said to
have his usual supply of ice, but un Omaha
deuler who has knowledge of conditions de
clares Armour und Cudahy have secured
but about one-third of inttr usual crop.
Each is said to be about 4o,0u0 tons short.
Effective First of Month.
The advance in prl-.'e went Into effect
March It has ranged from 5") to 75 per
cent with the various companies. To use
thu words of one manager, one company
need pay no attention! to the prices of an
other, for it can sell all Its ice at f.lmobt
uny price Tho price to butchers has been
udvanced from a ton to J-.W a ton; to
groceries und saloons, from 15 cents per
pounds to 25 cents. Small consumel s havu
always paid on a scale according to the
size of their purchuses. I.asl summer those
who used the least Ice paid 17 a ton: this
summer they will pay at least $10. The
situation with regard to price Is said to be
much belter hero than in Kansas City and
St. Louis. where only two prices are
charged, $5 to bly .consumers nnd $10 t
others.
Dealers say tec will have to be shipped In
from Minnesota before the season Is over.
The rate will tie t';M to a ton. If the
Minnesota producers will sell cheap the lco
from thnt country can be sold here for
about the same figures prevailing since tho
advance. If they hold firm, loeil prices
will rise further. i
"Of course, it Is possible tho weather
will yet be cold enough to freeze' lee," saiii
C. C. lluugale of the T:ilbot Ice company.
"But although I have seen Ice cut In Match,
I have never seen It made in March. I do
not look for prices to bo lower, and thlnli
they will be higher."
