When lovo 
knocks at a wo¬ 
man’s heart he 
usually comes in 
disguise. Doesn’t 
want it known 
what he’s up to. 
I f she knew all 
about the little 
rascal, would she 
D | let him in ? That’s a question. 
| - Women are apt to look upon 
love and marriage as purely 
a matter of sentiment and af¬ 
fection. That is pretty nearly 
right; yet there is a practical 
side to it too ; and the best way 
to preserve the ideal aspect of 
marriage and maternity is not 
to forget the practical part of 
it. A woman cannot be a thor¬ 
oughly happy wife and mother 
unless the distinctive physical 
organism of her sex is in a 
healthy and vigorous condi¬ 
tion. The best friend that wo¬ 
man ever had is the “Favorite 
Prescription,’’ of Dr. R. V. 
Pierce, Chief Consulting Phy¬ 
sician of the Invalids’ Hotel 
Und Surgical Institute, Buffalo, 
N. Y. The “Prescription,” is 
a perfect and infallible remedy for every 
form of "female weakness.” It cures by 
restoring health and strength to the inter¬ 
nal organism, which cannot be reached by 
“local applications ;” thus the cure is radi¬ 
cal, complete and constitutional. 
Dr. Pierce’s eminent reputation as a phy- 
sician of wide learning; and hi3 special 
knowledge of the delicate and intricate or¬ 
ganism of women, accounts for the unpar¬ 
alleled confidence, which women place in 
his “Favorite Prescription,” over every 
other remedy. Its use obviates the neces¬ 
sity of dreaded “examinations” and the 
stereotyped “local treatments.” 
Dr. R. V. Pierce, Dear Sir I suffered fourteen 
years with female weakness, nervousness and 
general debility, trying everything I could find 
to help me —all to no avail. I then heard of 
Dr. Pierce’s medicines and although I was thor¬ 
oughly discouraged, I thought I would try once 
more to find relief. I took your Golden Medical 
trou 
(Jlrs.) 
Very sincerely yours

HURRAH! 
FOR THE 
NEW WHITE GAP YELLOW DENT! 
EVERY FARMER GETS A PRIZE WHO PLANTS WHITE CAP! 
It is a Prize within itself. It is both a Gold Mine and a Silver Mine. 
The Kernels have a Golden Body and are Silver Tipped. 
This corn is placed at the “ head of the 
heap ” by most large seedsmen, and that is its 
place. It originated within eight miles of my place 
and hundreds of farmers in this locality will plant no 
other. 
It contains more solid merit than any corn e^er cat¬ 
alogued. It is suitable for all climates and soils, 
grows large ears and matures early. 
It is from 7 to 10 days earlier than Learning, and on 
poor, thin land will yield 30 per cent more corn. 
After growing different varieties of merit, S. H. 
Todd, the largest breeder of Chester White 
hogs in the world, says : “ White Cap Yellow Dent 
beats them all. It is sure to yield me a good crop of 
sound corn. It makes more bone and strength than 
any other corn, and I will grow no other.” JV1 r. Todd 
took$2,175 in prizes at the World's Fair on 
his hogs; is a large grower of corn, and his recom¬ 
mend on this corn is honest and reliable. 
Grown in a section with over GO other 
varieties, it outyielded all other kinds, and with¬ 
stood the drought much better than others. This corn 
will ho appreciated by those living in drought sections 
and by farmers who have poor, thin soil, while on 
strong soil it has no superior. 
There are more fine points combined in this corn 
than in any other in general cultivation. Large 
growers in the great corn belt, as well as those out of 
it, will be pleased with this corn, because— 
1st. It yields good crops on poor, thin land. 
2nd. The ears are large, handsome and well filled. 
3d. It is sure to mature in from 90 to 95 days. 
4th. It husks easily and shells easily. 
5th. It commands the highest price in market. 
6 th. It will grow more bushels on poor, thin land- 
than any other corn in the world. 
7th. It stands drought better than 60 other varieties 
grown in the same section. 
8 th. It will outshell and outyleld the Learning. 
9th. It grows its fodder strong, rank and quick, and 
from seven to eight feet high. 
10 th. It is sure to please those who give it a trial. 
Compare my prices with those of other large seeds 
men. You will find mine much the lowest. Why? 
Simply because I am located in a section in which 
this seed is largely grown. Nearly all the large 
seedsmen come here for their seed. 
I Make This Corn a Great Specialty. 
My seed is superior to that offered by other seeds¬ 
men for the reason that mine is Selected, and all 
tips taken off before it is shelled. It is a fact that 
seed corn is seldom tipped. 
Please compare my prices with those of other large 
seedsmen. My prices are as follows, sacks free; 
Pint , postpaid, 20c.; quart, 30c. Express 
or Freight paid by purchaser — Peck, 50c.; 
half bushel. 90c.; bushel, $1.50; five bush¬ 
els or more, $1.25 per bushel; 10 bushels or 
more, $1.10 per bushel. Sample ear, post¬ 
paid, 25c. 
This corn is Pure and Vital, tips of ears taken 
off, and thoroughly cleaned, especially for my large 
and growing trade. 
1 have 30 \ arleties of Seed Corn, including Field, 
Sweet, Ensilage and Popcorn. 
I am the largest shipper of seed oats in this coun¬ 
try. 1 have now the famous Lincoln, Bonanza 
King, American Banner and Black Russian. 
They are all good ones.
