ROME, March 1t is impossible to ex
aggerate the CONSERVATION which the news
of the Italian defeat in Abyssinia has
caused in all circles in this city. The
newspapers do not even seek to minimize
the disaster in the slightest degree. Ev-
cry hour marks the appearance of fresh
editions, giving additional details OF the
news, and more particularly of the man
ner in which it has boen received and the
opinions of the editorial writer's upon the
disaster and the campaign.
All this serves to increase the public
excitement, which is constantly growing.
The whole of the garrison of the city is
confined within the barracks for fear of
disorder. Even the semi-official news
papers dwell without disguise upon tho
serious features of the situation. The
semi-ofllcial journals assert that General
Baratierps loss was Over sixty guns.
They accuse General Baratieri of incapac-
ity and want of foresight and they de-
mand the adoption Of measures worthy of
the nation The government has decided
to mobilize the reserves of the class of

A Slight Accident
Often Causes Severe Kidney TrOuble-A
A Muskegon Lady's Experience.

How often sudden accident, slip or fall,
gives the back twist and deranges the deli
cate ibers of the Kidneys which have their
duties to perform and must be in condition
to perform them. They carry off the poison
Gus acids from the blood, and, if they get out
of order and refuse to do this, the whole system
is affected by the poisonous uric acid carried
to all parts in the blood. So it is that slight
accidents, a strain, fall, or a little twist in
the back amounting to very little of itself
often results disastrously if neglected. Doan's
Kidney Pills are designed to restore the kid
neys to healthy action. That they do this is
easily proven by the statements of the public.
A well-known lady of Muskegon is Mrs.
Emily j. Andrus, whose comfortable home is
ut Is f. Diana Street. She spoke of her ex-
perience as follows:
"Some time ago had q terrible fall and it
affected me in the back and kidneys. Oh, how
it hurt me in through the back / got so
lame and sore could hardly stir. / suffered
everything and thought / would surely die (;
the pain was so great could not walk. At
my age it was very hard to suffer so much.
saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised. wanted
to ''y them, as my kidney organism was
MI pted by the fall. A box was procured for
me mt Brundage's drug store and before ! had
finished taking them all, felt easier in my
back. kept on taking them, using in all four
boxes, and the result is that am now feeling
all right. The pain in my back used to be so
intense ] could not sleep, and often had to use
hot applications to get ease. Now | can rest
and sleep well. Doan's Kidney Pills have
been grand thing for me. When an article
possesses such merit as they do, it should be
recognized, and am glad to place myself on
record as one who has tried them and found
them to be as represented"
