Another Life Saved.

Mrs. Harriet Cummings, of Cincinnati,
Ohio, writes: Early last winter my
daughter was attacked with severe cold,
which settled on her lungs. We tried
several medicines, none of which seemed
to do her any good but she continued to
get worse, and finally raised large
amounts Of blood from her lungs. We
called in family physician, hut he failed
to do her eny good. AT this time friend,
who had been cured by DIR. VIM Hall s
Balsam for the lungs advised me to give
it q trial. We then got a bottle, and she
began to improve, and by the use oil
three bottles was entirely cured

-asner, MotAer, and Three SISTERS Dead.
Mr.. David Claypool, formerly Sergeant
alarms ofthe New jersey Senate, and now
Notary Public at Cedarville, Cumberland
Co., n. j., makes the following startling
statement: "My father mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lungs were so weak raised blood. Nobody
thought ! could live My work ship
smithing was very straining on me with my
weak constitution, and was rapidly going
to the grave. While in this condition |
commenced using Mishlers Herb Bitters,
and it saved my life. Because it was SO
difficult to get it in this little place, and
had improved so much, ] stopped taking it
for 4 time, and the result is that / have
commenced going rapidly down hill again.
Somehow, Mishler'S Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up

dozen bottles at once. Use this commu-
nication as you please and il any one wants
to be convinced of its truth, let them write
me and ! will make affidavit TO it, for
owe my life to Mishler's Herb Bitters."
Thesecret of the almost invariable relief
and care Of consumption, dysentery, diar-
rhma, dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when MishIer's Herb
Bitters is used, is that it contains simple,
harmless, and vet powerful ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver,
and through them strengthens and inyigor-
ates the whole system. Purely vegetable

TIE SPANISH CRISIS.

Spain has for long time laid claim to
the Caroline islands-under which name
are embraced no less than forty eight
groups of contiguous islands in the South
ern Pacifc--but has really exercised only
the most shadowy kind of protectorate
over them. She has traded with the ma
tives, but has not taxed them nor admin
istered their affairs, Germany, in execut-
ing her new policy of colonial extentiOns,
deemed herself entitled to an anchorage
in that portion of the globe, and by a
clever coup planted her flag ahead of
Spain on the island of zap. 1t is criti
cal situation for Alfonso, and he will be
extremely fortunate if he can safely nav
igate between the Scylla of war with
Germany and the Charybdis of a revou>
tion at home. No government that Spain
has mad during the century has COM
manded the united support of the people.
The Spaniards have lost most of the
splendid colonial possessions which were
acquired in the palmy days of Ferdinand
and Isabella, but they have not lost their
pride, and whether Alfonso De RESPONSE
BILE or not they will try to shake him off
like an over ripe apple if he yields up an
inch of the territory in dispute. They
would still more furiousIy resent the ais
tentative OF giving Germany foothold in
Cuba In view OF the complications that
are likely to arise out of this snarl it be-
hooves the United States to put an eilec-
tive navy afloat as speedily as possible.
