to make a most stubboro resistance to the | Sritish advance. Their artillery fire in| particular was very effective. But all their preparations were of liitle aveil when Metheun’s regiment got the order to carry their position. Our troops moved steadily forward at the word of command and carried the Boer position literally at the poiot of their bayonet—a position that had been ocsupied by the Boers for weeks.

lo spite of this, however, the British succeeded in capturing some guns, muni- tious of war, and a number of prisoners.

Who does not know women and young giris who are continuaily in tears? Who always see the dark side? Who have frequent fits of melancholy without any apparent cause? The intelligent pby- sician will know that ii is some derange- meat of the complicated and delicate feminine organs. The young gir! suifers bodily and mentally, in lence. There is undue weariness, unexpected pain, un- reasonable tears and fits of temper. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription exerts a wonderful power over woman’s delicate organism. It is an invigorating tonic and is specific for the peculiar weakness, irregularities and painful derangements of woman. Careless, easy-goiug doctors frequently treat their woman patients for biliousness, nervousness, dyspepsia, liver or kidney troubles, when the real sickness is in the organs distinctly feminine, and no help can come till they are made pers fectly strong by the useof Dr. Pierce’s Favoirite Prescription,
