Backache
Is only sm of many symptoms which some women en
dure through weakness or displacement of the womanly
organs. Mrs. Lizzie White of Memphis Tens., wrote
Dr. R. V. Pierce, as follows :
- At time I was hardly able to be on my feet.
I believe I bad every pain and ache a woman
could have. Had a very bad case. Internal
organs were very much diseased end my back
was very weak. I suffered a Jreet deal with
nervous headaches, in act, I suffered all over.
This wes my condition when I wrote to you for
advice. After taking your 'Favorite Proserin
tion for about three months can say that my
health was never better."
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
Is a positive cure for weakness and disease of the feminine organism. It allays
Inflammation, heals ulceration and soothes pain. Tones and builds up the oervee.
Do not permit a dishonest dealer to substitute for this medicine which baa
record of 40 years of cures. " No, thank you, I want what I ask for."
Da Pre'g PltMtmat Pellets Induce mild antunl bowti movant ooet t my.
The move started by the conservative
faction of the Board of Education to
oust J. F. Burgess from the secretary
ship that W. T, Bourke might have the
Job has centered attention on the election
of a successor to Bourke, who resigned
only after he had been assured by his
friends on the board that his election as
secretary for a foregone conclusion.
Dr, S. K. Spalding, a former member
of the board and faithful and efficient
official has been named by the younger
members, led by James Richardson, as
their nominee for Bourke's successor. A
young clerk without previous experience,
but who can be relied upon to stand with
Bourke's friends, has been put up by the
the conservatives.
The election will be held Monday night.
In the meantime, members of the board
are being urged by eitisens from all parts
of the city to vote for Dr. Spalding, whose
election would mean capable manage
ment. If the candidate of the conservatives
wins the loss of the secretaryship to
Burgess is certain. If Dr. Spalding Is
elected there will still be a majority on
the board pledged to vote for Bourke,
but the younger members who believe in
effflciency and are denouncing the "poli
tics" of the older members, will carry
the fight to the last , ditch.
Certain favors have been granted new
members by the old leaders in the board
and it is in acknowledgement of such
services that votes have been secured for
Bourwke, whose friends frankly admit
that while he Is no more capable man
than Burgess, he needs the money, there
fore ought to have the Job.
