1006. Girlhood, Womanhood, flotherhood. No Man Stronger Than His Stomach. TirR OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY. MAY THE first lesson that the young girl has of womanhood is usually a painful one. She learns to know what headache means, and backache, and sometimes is sadly borne down by this new experience of life. All the pain and misery which young girls commonly experience at such a time may, in almost every instance, be entirely prevented or cured by the use of Dr. Fierce's Fa vorite Prescription. It establishes regularity. It tones up the general health, and cures headache, backache, nervous ness, chorea, or St. Vitus's dance, and other consequences of womanly weakness or disease. MOTHER OF THE FAMILY. The anxious mother of the family oftentimes carries the whole burden of responsibility so far as the home med ication of common ailments of the girls or boys is con cerned. The cost of the doctor's visits are very often much too great. At such times the mother is invited to write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., for medical advice, which is given free. Correspondence is held sacredly con fidential. IT STANDS ALONE. "Favorite Prescription " is the only medicine for women the makers of which are not afraid to print just what it is made of on every bottle-wrapper. It is the only medicine for women every ingredient of which has the unanimous endorsement of all the leading medical writers of this country, recommending it for the cure of the very same diseases for which this " Prescription " is advised. A MOTHER'S LOVE. A mother's love is so divine that the roughest man cannot help but appreciate it as the crown of womanhood. However, motherhood is often looked forward to with feel ings of great dread by most women. At such times a woman is nervous, dyspeptic, irritable, and she is in need of a uterine tonic and nervine, a strength-builder to. fit her for the ordeal. No matter how healthy or strong a woman may be she cannot but be benefited by taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription to prepare for the event. It makes childbirth easy and often almost painless. DR. PIERCE'S FAVORITE PRESCRIPTION is a powerful, invigorating tonic. It imparts strength to the whole system and to the womb and its appendages in particular. For overworked, "worn-out," "run-down," de bilitated teachers, milliners, dressmakers, seamstresses, "shop-girls,", housekeepers, nursing mothers and feeble women generally, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the greatest earthly boon, being unequaled as an appetizing cordial and restorative tonic. A STRENGTHENING NERVINE. "Favorite Prescription" is unequaled and is invaluable in allaying and subduing nervous excitability, irritability, nervous exhaustion, prostration, neuralgia, hysteria, spasms, chorea, or St. Vitus's dance, and other distressing, nervous ymptoms commonly attendant upon functional and organic disease of the womb. It induces refreshing sleep and re lieves mental anxiety and despondency. A SCIENTIFIC MEDICINE. Dr. Tierce's Favorite Prescription is a scientific medi cine, carefully devised by an experienced and skillful phy sician, and adapted to woman's delicate organism. It is purely vegetable in its composition and perfectly harmless in its efTects in any eondition of the system. For morning sickness or nausea, weak stomach, indigestion, dyspepsia and kindred symptoms, its use will prove very beneficial. CURES OBSTINATE CASES. "Favorite Prescription" is a positive cure for the most complicated and obstinate cases of leucorrhea, excessive flowing, painful menstruation, unnatural suppressions and irregularities, prolapsus or falling of the womb, weak back, "female weakness," ante-version, retro-version, bearing-down sensations, chronic congestion, inflammation and ulceration of the womb, inflammation, pain and tenderness of the ovaries, accompanied with "internal heat." HOW TO LOOK BEAUTIFUL. Young women or matrons should not allow themselves to look sallow and wrinkled because of those pains and weaknesses which become chronic and are the result of colds, tight lacing, and the imprudent care of the womanly system. Many a woman would look beautiful, have healthy color and bright eyes if it were not for those drains on her strength and those weaknesses which come all too fre quently and make her life miserable. There is a ready-to-use Prescription, used a great many years by Dr. R. V. Pierce in Tus large practice as a Specialist in woman's dis eases, which is not like the many "patent medicines" on the market, as it contains neither alcohol nor any narcotic, or other harmful drug. It is purely vegetable. It is known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and is sold by druggists. DR. PIERCE'S PLEASANT PELLETS cure biliousness, sick and bilious headache, dizziness, cost iveness, or constipation of the bowels, loss of appetite, coated tongue, sour stomach, windy belchings, "heart-burn," pain and distress after eating, and kindred derangements of the liver, stomach and bowels. - Persons subjected to any of these troubles should never be without a vial of the "Pleasant Pellets" at hand. In proof of their superior excellence it can truthfully be said that they are always adopted as a household remedy after the first trial. One little "Pellet" is a laxative, two are cathartic. They regulate, invigorate and cleanse the liver, stomach and bowels. As a "dinner pill." to promote digestion, take one each day. To relieve the distress arising from overeating, nothing equals one of these little "Pellets." They're tiny, sugar-coated, anti-bilious granules, scarcely larger than mustard seeds. HEALTH AND HAPPINESS. How to live in health and happiness, is the general theme of Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser. This great work on medicine and hygiene, containing over 1000 pages and more than 700 illustrations, is sent free on receipt of stamps to pay expense of mailing only. Send 31 one-cent stamps for the cloth-bound volume, ox only ai stamps for the book in paper covers. THE celebrated Dr. Abernethy of London was firmly of the opinion that disorders of the stomach were the most prolific source of human ailments in general. A recent medical writer says, "every feeling, emotion and affection reports at the stomach (through the system of nerves) and the stomach is affected accordingly. It is the vital center of the body , He continues, "so we may be said to live by (and he might well have said through) the stomach." He goes on to show that the stom ach is the vital center of the body. He says, "the function of digestion in its several stages is to prepare the food in forms which are suitable to be added to the structure," meaning the structure of our bodies. He continues, "every physical action from simple breathing, thinking and circu lating of the blood to the most active bodily exertion wears out portions of the structure (of our bodies) and they be come dead and so require to be taken away speedily. Much of the food which we take, and especially when unwhole some or in excess, adds to the waste material, and when it has undergone chemical changes it is still more mis chievous." Then he goes on to the effect that the nervous system prompts every part of the circulating system. He says, "it gives its message every moment to the infinate number of glands and follicles to unload themselves of waste material so that the current of blood may carry it away." " When these two processes of nutrition and excretion are thus -carried on with equal assiduity we are in health, but when this equilibrium does not exist there comes dis order and disease. The common form of such derangement is indigestion or dyspepsia. The function of nutrition is interrupted and all the operations which depend upon it go wrong. Under these conditions it has a way of appearing in other types of disorder. Many of these often mislead physicians. Other parts of the organism are likely to be in volved, and we may find consumption, kidney complaint, hepatic (liver) disorders, hysteria and even mental aliena tion (derangement)." He says, "it may be observed that deranged persons have a woe-be-gone expression, offensive breath, irregular action of the bowels, hallucinations and other like conditions of dyspepsia." The foregoing is no doubt a rational view of the sad havoc worked in the human system by indigestion and dys pepsia, torpid liver and kindred derangements, which are generally associated with or followed by many other diseases of diverse appearance, but all depending upon the weak and disordered stomach. Cure the stomach weakness and . you cure all these diseases and derangements. For weak stomachs and the consequent indigestion or dyspepsia, and the multitude of various diseases which re sult therefrom, no medicine can be better suited as a cura tive agent than Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. The Golden Seal root, Stone root, Mandrake root and Black Cherrybark are all recommended by such eminent authori- tics as Dr. Bartholow, of Jefferson Medical College ; Prof. John' King, author of the "American Dispensatory" ; Prof. John M. Scudder, late of Cincinnati; Dr. William Paine, author of Paine's Epitomy of Medicine, Dr. Hobart A. Hare, of the University of Pa.; Prof. Laurence Johnson, M. D., Medical Department, University of New York; Prof. Edwin M. Hale, M. D., Professor of Materia Mcdica in the Hahnemann Medical College, Chicago, and many others, as remedies for indigestion and dyspepsia, torpid liver as well as for bronchial, throat and lung affections, as will be seen from reading a little booklet recently compiled by Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., who will send the same on request, by postal card or letter, to any address, free. This little booklet tells of what Dr. Pierce's celebrated medicines are made, and gives the properties and uses of each and every ingredient entering into their composition. Writ Dr. Pierce, as above and 'receive it by return post. Queen's root, or Stillingia, is an ingredient entering into the "Golden Medical Discovery " highly recommended by several of the above mentioned authorities for the cure of chronic or lingering bronchial, throat and lung affections, public speaker's sore throat attended with hoarseness, dry, rasping cough and kindred affections. Not only is Queen's root specific in its curative action in all these affections, but in "Golden Medical Discovery " it is greatly assisted by the combination with it of Golden Seal root, Stone root, Black Cherrybark and Bloodroot, with which it is blended in just the right proportion. Pure, triple-refined glycerine also greatly enhances the effectiveness of all these agents in the cure of chronic and lingering coughs, being a valuable demulcent, also antiseptic, and a nutritive of great value, especially useful in all wasting diseases, as in incipient con sumption and other scrofulous affections. "Golden Medical Discovery " is a sovereign remedy in all catarrhal affections, whether affecting the nasal passages, the stomach, bowels or pelvic organs and the reason why will be learned by read ing the little booklet noted above. Send for it now. In chronic catarrh of the nasal passages, it is important that while taking the "Golden Medical Discovery" as the most effective constitutional treatment for this terribly distressing and most obstinate affection that the nasal pas sages should be cleansed two or three times a day by the free use of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, used according to the directions which accompany the same. The enormous popularity of "Golden Medical Discov ery" is due both to its scientific compounding and to the actual medicinal value of the ingredients. The publication of the names of the ingredients on the wrapper of every bottle hereafter to be sold, gives full assurance of its non alcoholic character and removes all objection to the use of an "unknown remedy." Every bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery beats the stamp of public approval. For the dealer to offer you something he claims is "just as good" is to insult your intelligence. GLADDEN A GLAD OPTIMIST TtmoUs Divino Tolls ot Froeress Mankind Hts Lade in Late Years. RECOLLECTIONS OF HIS LIFETIME Growth la Kvfry Direction, - bat Kpeclall In Tbanght, Has Marked tho ( trtcr of tho Rare of Man. Rev. Washington Gladden' "Recollec tions of a Lifetime" wa tbe big event of the three days' session of the Nebraska Association of Congregational Churches. The address was given Thursday night at the First Congregational ' church, before nn audience which filled the lecture room is well as the church proper. Dr. Gladden talked of changes Which have taken place in the industrial, social, political and re ligious world In his life of TO years. In part lie said: About the first thing of any great Im portance 1 remember distinctly was that In 140 I shouted, with the other boys. "Hurrah for Harrison." In my early boyhood there were mail towns and sttliment In the eastern part of the country, but the greater part of this broud land was yet unbroken forest and virgin prairie. The streams of the eastern stutes were full of trout, and many a time I have seen the wild deer come across the farms In central Nw York. There were some short lines of railway in existence, but 1 douht if one in every , 10.000 people away from the Tall road Itself had ever seen a locomotive. There were twenty-four states In the union. Iowa, W isconsin and Illinois were yet ter ritories. Iowa had S.Oiiu people and Wis consin had 81.000, while the census taken before my blrih showed New York a town of ?.W9 people. Chicago waa three years oM and a very small town. There had been little done to develop the country, Large factories of any kind were scarce. Employer generally worked In the mime room with their men, and be tween them there was no such thing as cluss distinction. A few chartered com panies were In existence, but corporations, us we know them, had not been Invented, triougn lnaeea 11 was oui a year aner that Connecticut passed a law allowing the combination of capital by business in terests. Tho changes that have come to pass since then could not have been divined. Great forests have disappeared, wild beasts have been driven back Into the fastnesses until now thy are an uncommon sight, the tide of population has flowed westward and a mighty empire has sprung up on the l'ucitlo coast; towns have risen from moun tain and prairie and the face of the land has been covered with a network of rail ways. In those early days such a thing as the sudden mustering of forces for industrial warfare was not dreamed of. Yet a school of thinkers has arisen who attack our en tire system of economic life and Insist It I wrong from the bottom up. The industrial machinery can and must be moralised and spiritualized; that it can be ruled by the luw of love has been and is my abiding faith. No social machinery man can in vent can give us peace, unless the Idea of love enters Into Its workings. Chances la Politics. A considerable part of Dr. Gladden' re marks were devoted to a consideration of the political changes due to slavery and the civil war. The young people of today, he said, could have no idea of the depth of passion, pride, exultation and sorrow of those days of civil strife. To read about It in the histories is like going Into a big hall on the morning after an or chestral performance and trying to get an Idea of It by the. music left lying on the chairs of the stage. Speaking of the great accumulation of wealth and its Influences, Dr. Gladden said: The fight on slavery was out In the open. It was a fight between manly men. Hut the conflict in which the nation has become involved In the last few years Is not open: the fight Is against unseen, but powerful forces. The president. In his attempts to regulate the trusts, has a greater con flict on his hands than did Lincoln In keep- The Perfect Food Beverage 5 rni LIT jrviraay -m-jr'- Si srt 1 t V I IXti IJMt- Yl 1 The kind of Cocoa Beans that we use contain six times as much food value as beef.

The changes of seventy years In tho world of thought ere greater than in the world of society or economics, 'i'nese things of the outer world but register the Erogress of thought. By digging Into the uried thing of the past, the way was prepared for the doctrine of evolution. Sir Charles Lyail. who was appointed royal geologist in the year I was born, read the earth history as told in the rocks of its crust, and only then the hinted doctrine of the transformation of the species bo gan to look as though it might have some thln In it. But for the mass of the people this was too much of a revolution. If tho earth' crust had been built up by the same processes which today Is making rock at the seashore, they said, how about that story of Genesis, which says God made the earth in six days? Few men then had the temerity to question the exactness and the llteralness of that statement. To them, at the time 1 was born, the earth was Just exactly 5.840 years old. It was considered rank infidelity to believe that the earth was made in any time but six days, and the geologists were bitterly de nounced from the platform. The question as to why God. if He made the world in six days, and the living things afterward, made it with fossils imbedded In the rock, was left unanswered by the believers. They preferred to think that GoU had practiced a great deception upon thum rather than doubt the statement of the Bible. Bring God Xearer to Vs. finma nnnle in this (lav seem to be anx ious lest we should lose our religion. I think we aro losing tne nusKs 01 our re ligion. We will loso the chrysalis and find the butterfly. In my young days the Christian thought God was once working on the creation of the earth and had fln-luheri- thought Tie was once talking on earth, but had ceased to speak. All this put God far away. Toduy we believe , iH i. witli is workiiia here now 110 less mightily than of old; is no less sweetly ordering things; is shaking to you and to me, and the great word Is. "If any man have ears to hear, let him hear." This is what the world Is beginning to believe, and If It does believe it, then 1 shall think we have not lost our religion, but have only found it. When I was a boy the main reason urged for Christianity was personal Interest. It was an insurance against Ions, an assur ance of future happiness. That Idea has retreated into the background.. W are Christians now because the Christian life is a noble life; because It is more blessed to give than to receive; because it is better to bring heaven to earth than to go to heaven after we die. There may be better worlds thsn thl. but I should like to live another eventy years In Just uch a world thl. Now I tho Time to I.Ito. Of thl I am sure, if it Is worth while to live at all it Is worth while to live today. No better year ever dawned on our country than the year of our L,ord 1'J"j. which has Just passed. Sweeping Investigations of economic and industrial institutions have ben made and great rottenness and ras cality exposed, but I look upon this as a bleistng rather than a calamity. It is to me a mighty revelation of the moral awak ening of the nation. Never was there such reason for hope and courage as there Is today. The past year. I think, will appear In trie annals of the future as an epoch in the moral awakening of the American peo ple In the custody of sheriff Man Aeeased of Hindering! Justice Tnraed Over by Bondsmen and Taken to Jail. When Al Keenan. charged with trying to influence a witness In the case of the State against Frank Noonan. appeared In court Friday afternoon his 11,000 bond was set aside by Judge Sutton and he was re manded to the, custody of the sheriff.' Mr. Keenan declared he was ready for trial, but Judge Sutton told him he had been drinking too heavily to go to trial then and he would have to wait until he waa In better condition. He was taken to the county Jail. Keenan' hearing was set for Fridsy morning, but he did not appear. Thomas Hoc tor of South Omaha, who was on his bond, waa notified to have him In court at t o'clock or the bond would be forfeited. Keenan appeared in court In company with hi father-in-law, William Hughes, and De tective Klsfelder of South Omaha. He Is charged with advising Hughes not to rom ply with a subpoena to appear as a witness In the Noonan case. WOMEN IN CLUB AND CHARITY.

The resignation of Miss Edna Bullock as ecretary of the State Traveling Library commission will be regretted by the scores of club women all over the state with whom she has co-operated in library ex tension. Miss Bullock has served as secre tary since the commission was established, five years ago. and has given unsparingly of her enthusiasm and herself to the launching and establishment of Its valu able work. Her resignation cornea not al together a a surprise, as many of her friends have known of her desire to enter another branch of library work.

Alice Stone Blackwell, a daughter of Lucy Stone, ha called for a postponement of the several memorials planned for Su san B. Anthony. In a recent editorial In the Woman's Home Journal Mis Black well says- "If Miss Anthony could still speak to us she would certainly urge all the friends who are thus honoring her memory to put off the collection for any and all of these memorials until the Issue of the suffrage amendment In Oregon Is decided. Miss Anthony' last thought in this world were for that amendment; her dying wish was that Oregon might be th fifth free state. While that campaign is on she would desire that no money be di verted from the Immediate field of battle for any personal tribute." The suffrage amendment In Oregon will be put to the vote In J una The Dundee Woman' club held Its last meeting of the spring Wednesday at the home of. Mrs. W. L. Selby.

Root First' Firm to Annoance Early Closing; for Snm mer Month. A. I. Root, printer. Is the first business man to announce the closing of his place of business Saturday afternoons through the summer. His establishment will be closed this afternoon. As it is yet early In the season, no move ment ha been made among the department tores, clothing, furnishing and dry goods stores, for early closing Saturday evenings. It Is said the dread question Is to be con sidered, as usual, before hot weather comes on. Last year the store closed at S o'clock Saturday afternoons in July and August.

He does not think that Sam A. Orchard., tho first collector of the port, has gene to his long reward, from the fact that he has not been invited to attend the funeral. At all events, Colonel Barrows has not yet been able to secure former Collector Orch ard' picture, though he 1 hot on the trail for It.
