feeling, and dull pain in the small of my
back. so bad, at times, as to prevent my
being able to walk, the least sudden motion
causing me severe distress. Frequently,
boils and rashes would break out on various
parts of the body. By the advice of friends
and my family physician, 1 began the use of

A Woman'S Discovery.

"Another wonderful discovery has been made
and that too by lady in this county. Disease
astened its clutches upon her and for seven
years she withstood its severest tests, but her
vital organs were undermined and death seem
ed imminent. For three months she coughed
necessarily and could not sleep. She bought of
US a bottle of DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption and was so much relieved on
taking first dose that she slept all night and
with one bottle she has been miraculously
cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thus

A Remarkable Woman.

The strength of a woman's will has
seldom been better illustrated than in
the account given by The Times of
one of the most remarkable women
who ever lived, the empress dowager
of China. This illustrious lady has
directed for the last quarter of a CEN
fury the destinies of over 300, 600, 600
people; and in her hands the empire,
which some thirty years ago seemed
on the verge of dissolution, has re-
gained and now presents all the out
ward appearance of strength and sta
bility. In February last the Empress
Tsze Chi gave over the reigns of pow
er to the young Emperor Kwangsu
and retired into private life; thou h
as far as her personal character, dis
position and habits are concerned, this
makes little difference of our knowl-
edge of her. She who was to be obey
ed has always been as much a mys-
terry as the yelled prophet of Khoras-
san; and it is only by her edicts and
the results of her policy that the out
side world has learned of her exist
-ence. st. James Gazette.
Five years ago Thomas, son of Ed

Maine Snake Stories.

Here are two startling snake stories
from Maine. The first. comes from
Waterville, where the post mortem
examination of horse that died from
unknown causes revealed in its stom-

long, with head and eyes perfect, six
inches in circumference, and the col

CATARRH.



Sufferers are not generally aware that these

remedy has been formulated whereby catarrh
