For years I was troubled with most
alarming and painful symptoms Of dys-
pcpsia, indigestion, heartburn, headache
and sleeplessness. During these many
years of illness | consulted the best of au-
thorities on the diseases of the digestive
organs, specialists of great renown pro-
nouncing my case hopeless, some assert
ing that my stomach was infested with
cancers have tried countless numbers
of so-callcd medicines that were recon-
mendcd to me or otherwise bought to my
notice Like drowning man catching at
a straw would buy bottles after bottles of
s;arsaparilla and other medicines l saw
advertised in the papers, giving them all
a thorough trial All of these, although
highly spoken of by persons whose integ-
rity l could not doubt, proved worse than
useless in my case, and 1 kept growing
steadily worse / became at last con-
WINGED that the numerous physicians I
had consulted were right, and that my
disease was indeed incurable. Giving up
all hopes, the only course left for me was
Go reduce the pain to minimum. This
was obtained by eating rs little as would
keep body and soul together, and alb
staining from all substances containing
fats, sugar and starch. Some months
since a kind friend gave me a bottle of
Red Seal Sarsaparilla. AT first would
not take it as had lost faith in every
thing, believing thatGod alone could bring
relief Being told, however, that this Sar-
saparilla was prepared in a peculiar man.

principles contained in most all such pre-
parations were effectually eliminated at
last but still without much hope, gave it
a trial. fervently thank God that in His
goodness He has allowed me to find this
precious medicine Finding relief with
the first bottle obtained more, and kept
taking it until today 1 am completely
cured and as well man as ever drew the
breath of life.

Red Seal Sarsaparilla over all others

to tell what have told in the foregoing,
so that others like myself suffering from

STICKS TO HIS STORY.
Capt. Crossman Was There and Knows What
He is Talking About.

New York, March 15.-Captain Cross
man of the Alliance, was asked, this after
noon, what he had to say in answer to the
Spanish minister's statement that the
captains story about the Spanish war ship
firing at his vessel was probably untrue.
The captain replied: What the Spanish
minister said regarding the matter does
not alter the fact that We were fired upon
and in precisely the manner in which
described the matter. He does not know
what he is talking about. His object in
making such statements, is. of course,
plan, but it does not affect the case in the
least
