DEAR GENTS Il desire to say to you that
have suffered for many years with very seri-
Gus disease of the stomach and nerves. i tried

done me any appreciate good until ! was adj
vised to try your Great South American Nervine
Tonic and Stomach and Liver Cure, and since

Mr.. Solomon Bond member of the Society
Of Friends, of Darlington, Ind, says: II have
used twelve bottles of The Great South Amerts
can Nervine Tonic and Stomach and Liver Cure
and consider that every bottle did for me one
hundred dollars worth OF good, because have
not had good nights sleep for twenty years
on account of irritation, pain, horrible dreams,
and general nervous prostration, which has
been caused by chronic Indigestion and dys-
pepsia of the stomach and by broken down
condition of my nervous system. But now can
lie down and sleep all night as sweetly as baby,
and feel like sound man. / do not think
there has ever been medicine introduced into
this country which will at all compare with
this Nervine Tonic as cure for the stomach"

a parent to stand beside the thin veil
that separates his child from eternity
with medicines in his hand of the char
acter of which he knows nothing, except
that they were called for in Latin and
Greek hieroglyphics, and furnished by
some druggist of whose competency he
may also know nothing. A drop too
much, an innocent oversight in the

mistake growing out of an ignorance of

MENENDEz WAS POISONED.
How the President of San Salvador Was
Disposed Of


Washington dispatch: Further par
ticulars, giving a complete insight into
the recent disturbances in San Salvador,
Central America, have just been brought
to fight from sem-oticial sources. The
sudden death Of Ien. Menendez, Presi-
dent Of Salvador, the assumption OF
power by Gen. Carlos Ezeta, and the at
ttude of Guatemala in the present cris-
is, all have a bearing toward each other
and tend to show the possible outcome
Of the difficulty. 1t is known that Gen.
Menendez was poisoned.
There is feeling which pervades all
Central America just now that the rati-
fication of the Central American union,
which was agreed upon by the delegates
OF the five Republics of Guatemala,
Honduras, Salvador. Nicaragua. and
Costa Rica, in San Salvador in Decem Der
last. will not be completed on the 18th
of September next.
In the first place the treaty OF the
union has to De ratified by each OF the
individual Congresses of the separate
States, and this has not yet been done
by either Nicaragua or Costa Rica. The
treaty will only come before the Costa
Rica Congress In next December and be-
fore that OF Nicaragua in February Of
next year, as there has been no session
of Congress in the latter republic this
year.
1t is pretty clearly given TO under
stand by those two named Republics that
neither one Of them will ratify the Cen
trail American Union contact as they
are assured at a sc ,eme Is on foot
whereby it is intended that the Guate-
malan element shall predominant.
Neither the Nicaraguans nor the Costa
Ricans have a superabundance Of love
for the Guatemalans. The reasons are
historical enes and need not be re-
peated here.
The present unsettled state Of affairs
I'm Salvador had its origin with the
burning OF the National Palace In San
Salvador in November OF last year, aud
to this day the cause of the conflagration
has never been correctly ascertained.
When the palace was burned all the
archives of the Government OF Saliva
dor. consisting OF treaties and other
valuable historical and political
documents as well as the accounts of
the treasury, were completely des-
troyed, nothing whatever being saved.
1t was currently rumored at the time
that the fire was the work OF an incen-
diary sent over TO Salvador by Guatena-
la. and that the object OF the fire was to
institute revolutionary movement to
depose' Gen. Menendez from the Presi-
Dental chair.

happened that gave them clean away.
They stepped out of the EbtS.t House

the threatening sky, and then, with
the solicitude peculiar to young bus
bands, concluded that he had better
raise his umbrella, and then his be-
loved would be protected when the.
rain did come. So he unfastened the
band of his natty umbrella, gave it a
little firt, and raised it. Abont pint
of rice showered down on his head and
scattered over the pavement. The.
spectators roared, the bride gigsled
nervously, and the young man beat
hasty retreat into the hotel to get the
rice out of his r.-Washington
