THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31, 1898-14 PAGES. ONCE MORE! BACK AGAIN TO THE HEARTS THAT LOVE THEN. Back again to the hearts that have anxiously, tearfully, prayerfully wait- ed and watched for their return, come our wounded, shattered heroes; back from the deadly charge and withering trenches of Santiago; clean, sweet cots and tender nurs and that cearest of all rewards, preci kisses of mother, wife and children! Where these dear ones abide there is the home and haven of markind. However men ma? wander as glory gr ambition them, whatever VISITORS® DAY AT § PETE! NEW YORK CITY. prizes they may seek throughout the igth and breadth of the great rugglin. echting, dazzling world of truest er tim back t> the 1ece wife and children are. Here is the goal of all endeavor and the center of existence. WHAT WIFE AND CHILDREN MEAN TU EVERY MAN Men of every class and conditior in life leok to their wives and chi dren as the unfailing source of in- spiration and _ cheeriulness. A wounded soldier, home f the from front, is hardly more dependent upon | this tender comfort and good cheer than is the average man who works all day at his desk, or in the shop, or | field. A husband expects his wife to be the brightener of his home; to light- en his discouragements, smooth | away his wrinkles, and smile away his | frowns, just as much as the wounded | soldier returning from the field ex- | pects to be greeted with loving | caresses. Whether right or wrong | to expect so much attention and pet- ting, the average husband doees ex- | 2 - ' pect it and without it becomes a disappointed man iz A WIFE’ PROBLEM. 3ut how is a woman who is bur- dened with household work and care, and with the constant draft | upon her strength that comes with | frequent motherhood, to fulfill her | whole wifely duty? How can the} ordinary woman struggling With the | ordinary conditions of this work-a- day world be the ideal housekeeper, wife and mother all at once? This is the greatest problem with which the women of America have to deal; and when the question has to be worked out in the face of con- stant physical weakness and suffer- ing, no wonder so many thousand of | women feel that the demands of life are greater than they can meet, and heavier than they can possibly en- dure. No wonder they live for weeks and months plunged in the depths of wretchedness and despon- dency. A woman who suffers inwardly irom some feminine weakne: ase, is in a certain sense almost in her trouble; her husband cannot half appreciate her suffering, ow kind-hearted he may s to be complaining ail iter she herself may not ctly what the trouble is; and if the local doctor is called in, he will not once in a dozen times diagnose the trouble correctly. DODGING THE QUESTION. “Oh, your liver needs a little ton- ing up,” he will say; or “your sto- mach is out of kelter.” Perhaps he will call it “heart trouble” or “ner- vousness” and give the usual stereo- typed treatment that is of no more avail than so much water; while all the time the real trouble, the under- mining weakness in the organism distinctly feminine, is draining and j torturing d. Aiter all the poor unhappy woman is almost glad that the doctor, in his easy-going fashion, fails to suggest where the actual trouble les; for well she knows that the next step would be the detestable examinations and local applications which modest wo- men hold in such repugnance. THE REAL ANSWE It is to countless thousands of wo- the victim’s life away un- men in just this dire extremity of sui- fermg that the knowledge of Dr. Pierce Favorite Prescription —a remedy. which cures these troubles scientifically, completely and in the privacy of one’s home without resort to these hated and mortifying meth- eds—has come like a message of mercy from a better world. “I was tired and sick all the time,” says Mrs. O. S. Adams of Fargo, Cass Co., N. Dak. “I had female weakness very badly; so I had to be in bed part of the time. I could not do my housework; I had fainting spells, nervous héadache, backache and pain in my left side when I would lie down. I had pains and aches all over. I commenced ‘taking Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription and had not taken two bottles when I was able to be around again and to do my work, with no pain. I have taken five bottles of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, two of his “Compound Extract of Smart-Weed,’ and several vials of his “Pleasant Pellets.’ I am feeling better than I have for a great many years. I think Dr. Pierce’s medicines are the greatest in the world. I write these few lines hoping that some other suffering woman will try them as I did.” “T was taken sick two years ago and tried almost everything, but could get no help,” writes Mrs. T. C. Blashfield, of Brimfield, Hampden Co., Mass. “Your ‘Favorite Prescrip- tion’ did me a great deal of good. I was suffering with falling of the womb and could scarcely walk; now I am so much better that I can walk quite a distance. It was your medi- cine that helped me. You have my best wishes and thanks, and may God be with you to do all the good for the poor, suffering people that you can. if I hear of anybody sick I will rec- ommend them to write to you, and I will tell what you have done for me.” AN UNPARALLELED HISTORY. There has never been, in the entire history of medicine, any other rem- edy which exerted so direct and pow- erful a beneficial influence upon the special feminine structure as this su- perb “Prescription.” It is designed for a singleness of purpose. Its or- iginator, Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., has devoted a lifetime to the study and treatment of the various diseases peculiar to women. No phy- sician living has a wider practical experience in this field of medical practice. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre- scription is the outgrowth of this val- uable experience. Suffering women may feel every confidence that in consulting him by mail they are placing their case be- fore one whose long years of experi- ence have endowed him with the completest appreciation of their suf- ferings. Every letter received by him is answered promptly and earnestly with sound, sensible, fatherly, profes- sional advice, which will énable a woman, in almost every instance, by simple and inexpensive self-treatment in the privacy of the home and with- out a physician, to effect a complete and permanent cure. WITHOUT MONEY AND WITHOUT PRICE. No charge whatever is made for this advice, and any woman who in- closes 21 one-cent stamps to pay the mere cost of mailing Dr. Pierce’s great 1,000-page, illustrated book, The People’s Common Sense Medi- cal Adviser, will receive a free copy of that magnificent work in paper covers; or for 31 stamps a heavier, handsomer, cloth-bound copy will be sent. Address the Doctor as above. One chapter of nearly a hundred pages of this grand volume is de- voted to the consideration of diseases of women and relates the history of many severe and dangerous cases which were completely cured by Dr. se simple and_scientific meth- ods. TRUE GRATITUDE. “I would like to express my grati- tude to you for the benefit I have re- ceived from your wonderful ‘Fav- orite Prescription,” writes Mrs. H. C. Anderson of South Britain, New Haven Co. Conn. “During the first month of the period preceding tay baby’s coming, I could not keep anything on my stomach. I was so sick that I had to go to bed and stay for weeks. I tried differént doctors, but with little benefit. 1 read about , being helped by using your icine, so I thought I would give it a trial. -1 began to take-‘Favorite Prescription’ in November and I had a nice baby girl in February follow- ing. My baby weighed over eight pounds. I was only in labor about ene hour and got along nicely dur- ing confinement; was up and dressed on the eighth day. The ‘Favorite Prescription’ helped me wonderfully. It kept me from having a miscar- riage. This makes my second child; with the first one I did not take ‘Favorite Prescription,’ and I had a miscarriage. But this baby is as plump and healthy as any mother could wish.” A- PURELY TEMPERANCE MEDICINE. No alcohol nor opium, nor any of their products, is found in this matchless “Prescription.” Many of the so-called “tonics,” “sarsaparillas,” | and “compounds” now on the mar- ket contain some dangerous nar- cotic, or so large a percentage of al- cohol that their persistent use is-al- most certain to induce a morbid craving for stimulants. The “Fav- orite Prescription” will make no bad habits. It is a temperance medicine, pure and simple. It cleanses, heals and strengthens the special feminine organism; cures all unhealthy and disagreeable drains and structural weakness and displace- ments of internal organs; heals ul- cerations; often dissipates growing tumors; imparts genuine, permanent tone and vital force to the nerve cen- ters and the entire system. It is the perfect medicine for every critical period of womanly development— for debilitated young girls on the threshold of womanhood; for young wives, and particularly for expectant mothers. It gives that mental and physical vitality and recuperative power which renders the ordeal of motherhood absolutely safe and comparatively free from pain, and promotes the thorough constitutional health of mother and child. WHAT AN IOWA MOTHER SAYS. “Two years ago I used Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription,” writes Mrs. Alfred Clark of Hiteman, Monroe Co., Iowa, “and the result was a fine baby girl of eleven or twelve pounds. I am about to be- come a mother again, and I have been troubled with morning sickness and vomiting; I could not eat any breakfast, but two days ago I be- gan taking your ‘Favorite Prescrip- tion’ twice a day, a teaspoonful at a time, and I am pleased to say that I have not had a vomiting spell for two mornings, and I had not been free from these for four months. “T can eat a hearty breakfast with the rest of the family, and even have to go to the cupboard between meals, a thing I never did before in my life. My husband is surprised at the change in me. I cannot speak too highly of Dr. Pierce’s medicines. It would be a blessing if more poor, broken-down women knew of the ‘Favorite Prescription’ It would save them hours of misery. I wou!d write mare about my suffering, but I don’t need to now, for all my aches and pains have gone.” GAINED S!XTY POUNDS. “T had female trouble for eight years,” writes Mrs. L. J. Dennis of 828 College st., Jacksonville, Ill. “For three years I suffered continu- ally. Words cannot express what I suffered. I sought relief among the medical profession and found none, until induced by kind friends to try Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. When I commenced taking this medicine I weighed ninety-five pounds. After taking ‘Favorite Prescription’ I was built up until now I weigh one hundred and fifty- six pounds—more than I ever weighed before. “IT was so bad I would lie from day to day and long for death to come and relieve my suffering. I had internal inflammation, a dis- agreeable drain, bearing-down pains in the lower part of my bowels, and such distress every month, but now I never have a pain. I do all my own work and am a strong and healthy woman. Thanks to your medicine. I consider myself a living testimonial of its benefits.” DO NOT BE DECEIVED. Although every reputable dealer in medicines and many general stores, especially in country districts, mining camps, as well as in larger towns and cities, are supplied with this great “Prescription,” and if not can certainly and promptly obtain it for you if you insist upon it, there are some who will not hesitate to show their contempt for your judg- ment by attempting to foist a substi- tute upon you for purposes of their own. It’s an insult to your intelli- gence for a dealer to attempt to palm off upon you a substitute for this world famed medicine. You know what you want. It’s his business to meet that want. When he urges some substitute he’s thinking of the larger profit he’ll make—not of your welfare. “Favorite Prescription” affords dealers fair profits, and self- respecting purchasers should turn their backs on any dealer who offers them such treatment. LANDED PEARY’S PARTY. The Hope Returns to St. John’s From Her Greenland Trip. ” The steamer Hope arrived at St. John’s, N. F., Saturday night from her trip to Greenland, whither she carried the Peary exploring expedition. After leaving Syd- ney, C. B., their first landing was at Cape York, where natives were expected to be found. The party was disappointed, how- ever, all the natives having left. Without any delay the expedition then sailed for Snow Pocket bay, but here again they were disappointed. They then proceeded +:o Saunders Island, finding the natives there in pcor condition, they having had an ex- ceptiorally bad winter, snowfalls which lasted for weeks forcing them to quit their old haunts in quest of food. The natives were delighted to see Lieut. Peary, and swarmed all over the ship. The Hope took on board a number of Esquin aux and sailed for Whale Sound, but owing to the heavy ice pack was un- able to get in. She came out all right, though she received some bad scrapes. The party then decided to return to Saunders Island, and spent a fortnight there, during which time sixty walrus and a quantity of seal were obtained. Then the Hope pro- ceeded for Foulke Fiord. She met the Windward on the way. The latter is a poor ship for this work, being unable to steam to any advantage, the Hope leaving her far behind on every occasion when they left port together. At Foulke Fiord the Hope parted with Lieut. Peary and sailed south on the 13th instant, the Wind- ward loaving at the same time for Sheard Osborne Fiord, where Peary will make his headquarters during the winter. . Besides the sixty walrus, sixty dogs and ten Es- quimaux, men and women, were taken: north. Capt. Bartlett reports all well. your bargain vt.

THE WORKERS NEED HELP ———_+—_—__ Few peopie in Washington understand or appreciate the great good a handful of charitable ladies are doing for the comfort and health of the returning soldier boys. It is a work that should commend itself to every one, and bring to the already de- pleted treasury of the workers substantial aid. Potomac Hall, at the corner of Maryland avente“and Ith street southwest, is daily the scene of practical charity. It is here the Penston Office Lailies’ Relief Associa- tion, aided by several ladies from South Washington, dispense ‘to the tired and sick soldiers their sympathy and wholesome food; and all this with no other considera- tion than that which comes from a con- sciousness of well-dding. Yes, there is something else, The murmured “Goi bless you” of every one of the wearers of the bive {s compensation beyond the realm of earthly dream. 5 It has beenover a month now since the good work begah, and-its conception came naturally, “prompted,” as one of the ladies said, “by God.” When word was received about a month ago that a detachment of the Rough Riders would pass through the city, Mrs. L. A. Chamberlin of 1631 19th street determined io give her son and his company a little luncheon on their way through. So, with her daughter, she hur- ried to South Washington and bought up all the bread and buns and milk in the neighborhood. While engaged in this work she met Mrs. 8. A. Cornwall, who noticed the ladies sitting on the steps of Ryland Chapel. The Train Was Delayed. There had been a disappointment, The train with the Rough Riders was delayed and would not pass through that night. Mrs. Cornwall volunteered to take charge of the provisions and hold herself in readi- ness to assist the ladies whenever the train came in. The Rough Riders came, and 400 of them were served with lunch, but Mrs. Chamberiin’s son was not among them. He was to come on the next train. So it was determined to give his company a treat also, and the ladies hurried their prepara- tions. The careworn soldiers came at length, and when they went away they were filled with food and gratitude. It was the experience of this iuncheon that gave birth to the idea of helping the soldiers as they passed through. ‘The Ladies’ Relief Association of the Pen- sion Office was interested and willingly took up the good work. Now every train that comes to Washington, Wwjth soldiers is stop- ped at Maryland avenue and lith street and the wornout boyd. in blue are invited to lunch, When a»hospital train comes along the ladies visit-the train bearing del- icacies, and, with the same care they would bestow upon their own kindred, wipe the fevered brow and -whisper some word of cheer. 2 It has not been lof gince the committee, when visiting a hospital train, discovered the entire milk supply spoilt. Without a moment's loss of timg.the cans were emp- tied and fresh milk, substituted. A physi- cian at a small towmin New Hampshire, learning of this from-one of his patients who was on the train) has written to a doctor in this\city’ that the incident was no doubt responsible ‘for saving the lives of a number of soldiers on the train. But this is but a single example of the work the ladies are acing. Not a day goes by but some word is rétei¥ell from a grateful soldier who was nelpe » on his way-from to his home. One starvation at the vrote lately: —,, it was the first touch of kindness we had received since going to the front, and I shall never forget the tenderness and loving care of the good ladies in Washing- ton.” Methods Employed. It matters little to the ladies what time the train comes’ in. They are ready at all times to respond, and it has been the cus- tom rather than the exception for trains to arrive in the early hours of the morn- ing. Arrangements are complete for noti- fying those in charge when a train is ex- pected, and the railroad officials have ex- tended every facility for the ladies to a: sist the soldiers. Often the departure of trains is prolonged to give the troops an opportunity of having lunch. A reporter of The Star was present when a train of soldiers came in. It stopped just in front of the hall (Potomac Hall), and the delegation which had been sent to re- ceive it had every one acquainted with the fact that a good, wholesome lunch was be- ing served for the soldiers. It was some- thing new for the boys in blue to receive such consideration. There had been a rough experience, with nothing in the shape of kindness to help them cn their journey home. They did not understand at first, but when they saw the kind faces of the ladies and the long tables, with the clean linen and white cups, and smelled the home-made coffee, they fairly beamed. “Why, boys, this is the real thing,” one of them exclaimed, who was the first to be served with coffee. They reached for the sandwiches and the fruit, drank the sweet, pure milk, and then with much emotion thanked the ladies for their kindness. ‘The hall accommodates 150 at a time, and it usually requires fifteen minutes for the recipients of the bounty to get all they want. There is a corps of little boys al- ways on hand who gratuitousiy serve as waiters. There is a soldier, or rather an ex-sol- dier, for he was discharged for some trifling offense, who has been of untold assistance to the ladies. His name is Charles A. Smith, and he had a brother who went down with the Maine. He came, end witn- out promise of reward has worked tc help bis suffering comrades. The ladies are go- ing to make an effort to have him re- enlisted and-honorably discharged.

The Supreme Court Justice Sees Mr. McKinley at Cleveland. A conference of great importance was held at Colonel Herrick’s home in Cleve- land last night. President McKinley, Sec- retary Day and Justice White were the conferees, and they were closeted togethar after dinner until a late hour. It was ad- mitted that the conversation had to do with the appointment on the peac2 commission offered by the President to Justice White, but at a late hour it was announced that no definite conclvsion had been reached, al- though hop> was expressed that Justice White would see his way clear to accept the appointment. Justice White and Secretary of State Day arrived at the house about 6.o’clock in the evening. At dinner wre President and Mrs. McKinley, Colonel and Mrs. Herrick, Jystice White, Secretary Day, Assistant Secretary to the President Cortelyou, Mrs. M. A. Hanna and Miss Hanna. Mrs. McKinley was indisposed by a slight cold, and remained within doors during most of the day. The workmen engaged on a fine new res- idence being built across the boulevard from Colonel Herrick’s home did a graceful and patriotic thing. In front of the houss, between the sidewalk and the roadway, is an ugly, rough board shed for the storage of tools. The workmen clubbed together, Documents of Historic Interest Sent to the State Department. The State Department has received the last report from Mr. Sewall in his capacity of United States minister to Hawaii. The mail included several documents that will be interesting from an historical point of view. The minister transmits to the de- pertment the formal acceptance by Pres dent Dole of the act of the United States Congress, annexing the islands to the United States. He also handed to Mr. Sewall the treaty of annexation that had been ratified by the Hawaiian legislature, but which failed to receive the appr 1 of the United States Senate. There no occasion to turn over this document, but it is presumed that Mr. Dole did so to com- plete the record. There are some claims outstanding against the late government of Hawail, mainly on account of British subjects, and the adjustment of these will be a matter for. future consideration. Among the 1s- sues satisfactorily closed, cording to Mr. Sewall’s report, was the claim of the Jap- anese government against Hawaii for the illegal detention and return to Japan of certain Japanese coolie laborers who were excluded under a Hawaiian immigration Chinese exclusion act. The amount of the claim was about $75,000, and almost the last act of the expiring Hawatian govern- ment was to discharge this obligation, which came perilously near involving the United States and Japan in difficulty about a year ago. es Se Se Col. Geddes in Charge. Secretary Wilson, the head of the De- partment of Agriculture, has gone on a brief vacation to scek a well-earned rest, but will return about the time that the President will get back. Secretary Wilson said that he felt it his duty to stay here as long as his chief was on deck. Assist- ant Secretary Brigham 1s also away for a few days, and the chief clerk of the de- partment, Col.

Surgeon General Wyman of the marine hospital service said today that reports were encouraging as to the yellow fever sit- uation in the south. There was only one new case at Franklin, La., the sufferer be- ing a physician who had been in attendance upon the first case. There was no proof of any new cases at Key West, while at Galveston the quar- antine had been raised against the city but continued against the soldiers in camp Gen. Wyman said that three cases of ye low fever had been landed from the trans- ports at Camp Wikoff, but that he had heard nothing from them since, as they passed out of his jurisdiction when they left the transports. + -0<«—_______ If you want anything, try an ad. in The Star.
