This frightened the animals, and they dashed off at a furious tate of speed. Mr. Crosier was thrown out of the wagon and badly bruised about the body and limbs.

A WORLD'S FAVORITE o) Fashions Ma Come and ‘This season has brought. many fashions. But hundreds of the styles which have come will as quickly go and be hear of no more. One, how- ever, is sure to remain. ¢ .\ It was caught up by the fashionable world as a desirable ornament; 1t was indorsed for its useful- ness by the middle classes and accepted by the masses as @ necessity of life. It was a success, a success because it rested upon common sense. This universal fashion is the full- length overgarment. The Summer Girl travels im- maculate from soot and dust beneath its dainty Minen covering; the Mountain Maid, under its cloth draperies, shrugs her pretty shoulders at the au- tumn blizzards; when ned with warm for it pro- tects the Sleigh Belle against the winter's coldy if made of checked waterproofing, it attractively shelters the Easter Lily from April showers. At all seasons it is becoming and adds to the at- tractive outwardness of feminine humanity. It is, however, not only in attractive outwardness that common sense rules, but in the true inwardness of Mfe as well. r ‘ Here is a case in point: Some years ago the head of the most successful health institute in America, the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., set out to make @ much needed discovery which should be founded on common sense and appeal to the com- mon sense of common humanity. This man, R. V. Pierce, M. D., author of The People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser, of which more copies have been cold than of any other book published in this country, had from his long experience as a sclen- tific investigator, physician and student of human mature become convinced that the American people lacked nervous stamina. The very energy which énabled them to conquer a new land and develop it to the foremost rank among the powers of the world was, he said. proving a task master which was driving men and women to physical prostration. Whether this prostration found its seat in the ner- yous system, brain, heart, lungs, stomach, kidneys, liver or blood—and ‘whether it was called neuralgia, dyspepsia, female weakness, ‘brain faz."” Insom- nia, heart disease or nervous prostration, Dr. Pierce reasoned, and very properly, that the’ cause was due to our high pressure manner of living. He found, furthermore, that these disorders could not be reached by the remedies of other nations or other times, but that these pecullar and hitherto unknown conditions called for a peculiar and hi rf] Santa Cara Oo., Cal., writes: “I suffered for four- teen years with female weakness, nervousness and debility, trying (everytnine, to help me I find—all to . “T then heard of Dr. Pierce's medicines, and al- taking medias, T thought T woul nee would try once to find relief. I took the ‘Golden Medical ery’ and ‘Favorite Prescription’ and too great ‘camnot be given for the rapid relief they me. I am now free from the troubles, may God bless Dr. Perce in all his undertak- ings to cure suffering humanity.” : A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. Mrs. James Gatfield of No. 77 Mary street, Ham- fiton, Ont., Canada, writes: “Last winter I had a very severe attack of grip. I got better, but did not got well. In the fall I lost my health entirely. T had cold chills, fever, nlght-sweats and a violent cough; when I was lying down I was nearly smoth- ered; as I did not get much rest night or day, I failed rapidly. I sent for our family physician; he told me my left lung was in a terrible condition ‘and gave me to understand I had consumption, and I knew by the way he acted he did not think I would last long. He wanted me to try cod liver oil. I told him my two sisters had doctored that way and only lived about a year and a half after they got the disease, so I declined to take it. I sent for a bottle of ‘Golden Medical Discovery,” taking it every two hours according to directions, and before I had finished the medicine I was able to walk out. I went to another doctor who 1s con- sidered an expert on lung troubles. He told me plainly I had consumption and had had {t for some time. He sald both my lungs were diseased and I could not live long. I just went to him to get his opinion. I um glad I did, for now I know by ex- perlence what your medicine will do, When I started on the second bottle I was much better in every way and was able to take a walk every fine day. 7 enjoyed my sleep, my appetite was good, and by the time I had finished the second bottle i began to feel like a new woman. I still bad a cough, so I got a third bottle, and by the time it was half gone I was completely cured.”* Mr. Geo. W. Hulsizer, a well-known railroad con- ductor of Milton, Northumberland Co., writes: ‘I had my third doctor, and he doctored me for some time, and finally said, “There is no use running we a bill.” I asked him what alled me. He said, “Why, it 12 consumption.’ This gave me great alarm, and I was about to give up in great despair, but, thanks to kind providence, my wife called at a drug store and got six bottles of Dr. Plerce's Golden Medical Discovery for $5.00, The first few doses I took I got alarmed, for I felt a numb feeling, but kept ou taking the medicine as directed. In a short time I was able to walk around. Before I had taken the fourth botde I was able to get out and conduct my train.”” i ‘l ae “A NEW MAN ALL OVER.” “I had suffered for over a year with bad blood poisoning,” writes John Hazelitan, esq., of No. 516 West 143d street, New York city, “breaking out all over my body; my finger nails and toe nails fell off, I could not eat; I my teeth began to get loose. mtd asked me what the matter was. ‘ant to tell him for fear it would get around, but Tam giad now that Idid. Had I kept on with the doctors they would now have had all my money. My hair all fell out, and I was not fit to be seen. I began to take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medival Dis- covery. After the first bottle I began to feel a great deal better. but I broke cut more than before. After 1 had taken five bottles I was a new man ali THE SUMMER GIRL. = erto unknown system of treatment. People who burned the candie at both ends did not need a stim- ulant, but a new means of strength, which could only be gained by creating new tlesues, new blood apd rew nerve force. After long experiments, cov- ering many thousand cases, he gave to the profes- sion and the public Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Dr. Plerce’s Favorite Prescription. ‘These differ from all other wedicines, compounds, emulsions, tonics and sarsaparillas as bread differs from straw. ‘The combined use of these medicinal compounds supplies a most efficient and scientific course of remedial treatment that has proven marvelously successful in curative results in a great diversity ‘of obstinate chronic diseases. ‘The aim of this common-sense physiclan and the object of his common-sense remedies was not to give patients a course of ‘temporary physical patch- work,” but to go to the root of disease and effect permanent cures. The result is that In every city, town and country of the Union merchants, farmers, mechanics and laborers, their WIVES, MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS, have taken his medicines into their homes, and that they are there as household goods. His “Fa- vorite Prescription" 1s increasing the outward at- tractiveness and the true inwardness of the ‘'Sum- mer Girl," the “Sleigh Belle,” the ‘Easter Lily,” the ‘Mountain Maid,” the House Wife and Home Worker, because 1t supplies the needed nerve and brain food, through enriched and vitalized blood, and thereby gives the true elements of new health, rength and life. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip- tlon {s of purely vegetable composition and is per- fectly harmless in any condition of the system. It @ wonderful soothing, healing and strength- power over woman's delicate organism. It Is ening an Invigorating tonic for the whole system, and is almost an infallible specific for the pecullar weak- nesses, irre,ularities and painful derangements of woman. DOCTORS’ MISTAKES. Careless, easy-going doctors frequently treat thelr women patients for biliousness, nervousness, dys- pepsia, liver or kidney troubles when the real sick- ness is in the organs distinctly feminine, and no help can come till, they are made perfectly sound and healthy in both structure 1d function, which ia brought about in due time, yy. the use of Dr. Plerce’s Favorite Prescription.” His “Golden Medl- cal Discovery’ {s converting weak and weary, helpless and hopeless men, women and children into strong, vigorous, happy deings. ‘The latter medi- cine isthe ‘gteat blgod purifier, nerve food and flesh builder, imparting nervé force and building up—not fat, but solid) firm fiésh, when reduced. be- low a healthy stat by ‘wasting diseases. It does not make too corpulent ‘people more fat, but bullds up the solld, mascular’ flesh to the heslthy, or normal standard—thereby. zounding out the form and figure and rubbing out premature wrinkles. The “Golden Medical Discovery” is an invigorat- Ing tonic and cures indigestion, or dyspepsia, "liver complaint” or “billousness,"” and for lngering coughs and all long-standing bronchial affections It fs simply unequaled. ‘Serious illness often. bas its beginning in neglected ‘Even dread .consumption comes on by degrees, and may begin with a very slight de- rangement.

Don’t have any, weak spots. If you have them now, clear them,out, tone them up, make them strong. Dr. Plerce’s Golden Medical Discovery will do it. It searches out all poisonous matter and disease germs of whatever character. It regulates the action of the organs of the whole body. Tt forces out impure matter, makes the blood rich and puts new life into every Aber. ‘Two doctors failed to cure Mrs. H. Price, of No. 418 Birch street, Reading, Pa., who suffered from Severe disease of the womb after childbirth. She Suffered intensely from pain in her thighs, hips and breast, also in lunge; was badly constipated; had no appetite; could not sleep; was extremely ner- yous; womb was greatly swollen, hard and sensi- tive: could only sit up a fow minutes. The doctors wished to perform a surgical operation which she refused to submit to, but instead wrote to Dr. Pierce, who advised bis ‘Favorite Prescription”— four bottles of which completely cured her. ‘Mrs. A. R. Norman of Red Fork, Creek Nation, Ind. Territory, writes: ‘After a great deal of suf- fering for four years, which grew worse, my pbysi- cian sald my chief ailment was ulceration of the womb—also a complication of ailments, pains in lower parts, aching of back, Six months ago I commenced taking Dr. Plerce’s Favorite Prescrip- tion and his ‘Golden Medical Discovery.” Have taken several bottles of each, also his “Pleasant Pellets,’ and am now-nearly festored to my usual health. ‘Mrs. Mary J. Stewart of P. 0. Box 46, Saratoga, over. I had a sore break out in my mouth; I conld not open my mouth any more than the size of a ten- cent plece. After I bad taken the last bottle the sore entirely disappeared. Iam Lappy again. My hair came back, and I am now a healthy man. I can never speak too highly for your blood cure. It is the best in the world. It bas, I am sure, saved my life. I have gained ten pounds since I began to take it, eat better and look fresher than ever before."’ HOME INDORSEMENT. So highly 1s Dr. Pierce regarded at home that he has been repeatedly elected to the highest public offices (such as State Senator and United States Representative) by the citizens of Buffalo, and such is his professional standing and that of bis Insti- tute that he, as well as the members of his medi- cal staff, sre not culy constantly consulted by phy- siclans all over America, but Nave held executive itions In leading medical and scientific societies. yr. Pierce has on file many thousand letters from grateful people, many of whom were cured by his remedies after having been given up as incurable by local physicians and noted specialists. Many of these grateful patients have specially requested that their cures be published for the benefit of other sufferers. Statistics show that there are not three cases of female disorder in a hundred that Dr. Pierce's remedies will not cure promptly and rmanently. No matter how serious the case may , no matier what friends, physicians and spec ists may say, no matter how helpless and hopeles the patient may feel, if she will write to the World's Dispensary Medical Association at Bulfalo, N. ¥., of which Dr. Pierce is President, she will promptly receive, free of cost, such plain, straight- forward, confidential advice as will enable her to cure herself at home. If, as it sometimes happens, her case doesn't yield ‘entirely to the remedies named, the records show that by visiting Dr. Pierce's Invallds’ Hotel and Surgical Institute and placing herself under the treatment of the corps of skilled specialists, who have successfully treated thousands upon thousands of casea, she will soon go forth a well, strong and happy woman. After years of experience it has been found that there kre very, very few cises not curable by Dr. Plerce’s put up medicines on sale throughout the land, and when such a case is found the patient is not asked to indulge in further experiments and expense, but is candidly advised by Dr. Pierce az to her true condition.
