(From the New York Fireman's Herald.) The advocacy of the New York Evening World to wipe out the un- sightly structures that constitute Chinatown and transform the neigh- jorhood {nto a public breathing spot ought to have the indorsement of every one who has the welfare of the inhabitants of that locality at heart. Furthermore, if The World's suggestion {s put into operation, the city will be rid of one of the most hazardous neighborhoods from the fire standpoint within its mits since the razing of the Mulberry Bend rookeries, Environed as tt 1s by many substantial structures, a fire once under headway in Chinatown would baffle the fire department to hold in check and result in the destruction of hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of property.

For this purpose take BEECHAM’S PILLS the greatest boon ever offered to those who suffer from the ills that follow constipation. For over fifty years Beecham's Pills have been famous as a Stomach corrective, a Liver regulator and Bowel laxative. They never gripe nor cause pain. Powerful purgatives are dangerous. Avoid them, Use Beecham’s Pills. They give re- lief without doing violence to any organ. Their action is in har- mony with physical laws.

Vuk Qumt Brame - Sha tela are to Nake Dr. Rismas Tasorcte Drv oughion - amd sos\ho os Many mothers of families in the United States have reason to be grateful to the erson who recommended Dr. Pierce’ Favorite Prescription. This is a medi- cine specially prescribed for diseases of womankind. It does not cure eczema, catarrh in all ita forms, nor heart dis- ehse, for it is put up for the single pur- pose of curing diseases peculiar to women. It bas & reputation of over a third of @ century of cures, and has sold more largely on this continent than any other medicine for women, Another point in ita favor—it does not contain a single drop of alcohol or harmful habit-forming drugs. It ia pee vegetable and perfectly harm- jess in any condition of the system. Av alcoholic compound for women something no woman should take and yet "Favorite Prescription” is the only tonic and nervine put up for sale through druggists, especially for wom- an’s weaknesses, that does not contain alcohol and that too in large quantities. Womanly weakness will always bring nervous irritability and a nervous con- dition, for which alcohol is the worst. thjng in the world. What a woman thus afflicted needs,is a vegetable tonio and Invigorating nervine like Doctor Pierce’a Favorite Prescription, which will build up her delicate system and bring about a healthy tone. It cures the drains and weaknesses of women, also displacersents, as prolapsus, ante- version, retYoversion, irregular and painful periods and kindred ailments. Hi you want to know what ailé you the United States mail will bring you thé best medical advice for only the cost of writing materials and stamps. Many women owe their present good hen'th to the fact that they consulted Dr Pierce by letter, giving him all pos- sible information about their condition, symptoms, ete., and received in return medical advice which cost them nothing. This is why we adyise you to write to Dr R. ¥ Pierce, the founder of the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y Dr. Pierce by no means confines himseif to prescribing his well-known proprietary medicines. He telle you in the most common-sense way what Brida Dookun 5 line of treatment should be followed out in vour particular case, and if your case does not indicate the need of his proprietary medicine, he tells you plainly and frankly what you do need, and the best posible method of im: proving your health. If you are a ‘oung woman just entering upon the luties of life, you should have good medical advice of a confidential nature. If you're the mother of children, you may want advice about yourself and how best. to pot your system in order thst your children may be healthy. To sufferers from chronic diseases which do not readily yield to treatment, or to Prope who are past the youthful stage of life and want confidential advice about their ailments or their physical ndition, Dr. Pierce offers careful co: ideration and the best medical advice within his power, free of cost. «* Favorite Prescription’ is indeed an ideal medicine for women, and by far the best I have known to restore lost health and strength,” writes Mrs, R. C. Roelker, 24 Ingram Street, Henderson, Ky. “I suffered misery for several Yeats, being troubled with flooding, ly back ached and I had bearing-down pains and frequent headaches. ould often awake from sleep in such pain and suffering it would be hours hefore 1 could close my weary eyes again. I dreaded the long nights as well as the weary daya, Consulted two different physicians hoping to get relief, but find- ing that their medicine did not seem to cure me I tried Dr, Pierce's Favorite Prescription, as a friend had recom: mended it so strongly. Am glad that I followed her advice for it was the only medicine for me. Every ache and pain has gone, and not only this, my gen- eral health has improved. 1 feel well and strong, have a fine appetite, have gained flesh and never looked better. ly advice to euffering women is to take the ‘Favorite Prescription’ and they will never be disappointed with the results.” Formula printed on wrappers °° You should read The People’s Com- mon Sense Medical Adviser, by R.
