Mr. W. H. Williams whose illness lias
been mentioned, died on Wednesday
night of last week, aged about twenty
five years. He had been sick with that
dreadful foe to human life, consumption,
for many months, yet kindly and tender
ly nursed by his father and friends. He
bore his sufferings unmurmingly and
when death came ho did not fear, and no
doubt rests well in the land of the blessed.
A cutting affray in town last Thursday
night came near proving fatal. Jim

physician and he is now doing all right.

It's Aktonisiiino how Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription acts upon nervous
women. It's a marvelous remedy for
nervous and general debility, Chorea, or
St, Yitus's Dance, Insomnia, or Inability
to sleep, spasms, convulsions, or ,;fits"
and every like disorder.
Even in cases of insanity resulting
from functional derangements, the per
sistcnt U9c of the "Prescription" will, by
restoring the natural functions, generally
effect a cure.
For women suffering from any chronic
'female complaint" or weakness; for wo
men who are run down or overworked;
at the change from girlhood to woman
hood; and, Inter, at the critical "change
of life" it is a medic'io that safely and
certainly builds up, strengthens, regulates
and cures.
If it doesn't, if it ever fails to benefit
or cure, you have your money back.
What more can any one ask ?
Is anything that isn't sold in this way
likely to be "just as good?"
