CURSED.
For Sixteen Years Compelled to Eat a Pound
of Poison Weekly
Saved at Last by Wonderful Antidote-An
Almost Incredible Stor of Suffering
Told by I1ouislanian.

1t Is wonderful what a human being
will endure. Just look around and see
the people day after day trying reckless
ly with life and health, the most precious
things we have.
Nature will not be imposed upon She
is bound to get even-to square accounts.
So man starts habit, but nature contin-
ues 1t, and, for punishment, he can't quit.
Take the case of George Rathban. For
sixteen years he had to fill his system
with poison to keep from going insane,
and he would still be in the rack of tor
ture had not NoTo-Bac cured him-cured
the habit of sixteen years in sixteen days.
Read his letter.
'ti Bonita, La, Aug. IS, 1896.
Gentlemen: 1 have been completely
cured of the tobacco habit by using No
To-Bac. l used tobacco over seven
teen years, four pounds a month"; and L
believe that No-To-Bac Will cure anyone
that will take half box. took six tab
lets one day, three the next, three the
next, and one the next day, and l was
completely cured. After that | had to
take eight more tablets to cure me of
nervousness. Twenty-one tablets, you
see. made a final cure, and all in sixteen
days. can very highly recommend Mo-
To-Bao to all who are cursed with the
tobacco habit and want to get rid of 1t.
One box will cure the worse case ever
saw. Very truly yours,
GEO. RATHBAN.
Now, dear reader, tobacco-user for
little or a long time, don't say II can't be
cured" No-To-Bac makes 1t so easy to
quit. and will do you so much good for
your nerves.. blood and manhood. You
don't have to take our word for 1t. Buy
1t from your own druggist under abso-

BAPTISTS SAVED HIS LIFE
Cuba Will Be Free Within Six Months-Boards
of Southern Baptists to Be Located
in Birmingham.

Chattanooga, Tenn, May S.-This aft
ernoon 1 secured an interview with the
Rev. DR.. Alberto j. DiaZ.
As your readers all know he was re-
Gently imprisoned by General Weyler
and was released only at the urgent re-
quest of our government by the activity
of the Baptists of the south. 1 said:
Give me some facts about the real con-
dition of things in Cuba and of your
self? Do you really think the purpose
of General Weyler was to put you to
death?
There is not the least doubt of it."
he replied, with the air of a man who
has stood in the shadow of an awful
death and has been delivered. 1T was
their purpose to execute both me and
my brother and we should have been
dead now but for the interest manifested
in us by the Southern Baptists."
rs General Weyler as cruel and blood
thirsty a man as many of the papers
picture him?"
Yes; he Is very cruel man. That
Is a Spanish characteristic, and Weyler
possesses no pity for the poor Cuban"
DO you think, from all you know of
the situation In Cuba, that the insur-
gents will gain the liberty of Cuba?"
Il have not the least doubt that they
will win their freedom"
How long, in your judgment, will 1t
be before the rebels will conquer the
Spanish?"
II think in six months Cuba will be
free"
"Would their recognition as belllger-
ents by the United States help them
much?"
ooh, yes; that would enable us to buy
arms and ammunition, and that is all WEI
want. 1t would save much bloodshed
and loss"
"Of course, you are banished from the
island permanently while Spain is in
power?"
yes; my life would pay the penalty
If should go back there now"
rs that trocha Of any use to the Span
ish?"
mo; it Is a failure as breastworks to
keep Maceo and Gomez separated"
II want you to come to Birmingham
soon and tell us of your work and the
Cuban situation"
81 think / can come. 1 want to travel
some. 1 can't return to Cuba until she
is free"

pies union comes to Birmingham. Rich

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all it's stages, and that is
catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the medical fra
ternty. Catarrh being a constitutional
disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood

thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease. and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing it's work. The

He Says Senator Vest Is in Error About
Michigan.
Detroit. May 9.-Hon. Don M. Dickinson
today gave out for publication reply
to the charges made in the United States
senate Thursday by Senator Vest in re-
gard to the control of the Michigan state
democratic convention by the officehold-
ers. Mr., Dickinson says that Senator
Vest is in error in all of his statements
about the Michigan convention, as are
the other southern senators who have
been making threats of senatorial in
vestigation of the campaign eliminating
in the result of that convention. He as
serts that neither Cha irman Stevenson
nor anybody else issued any circular to
ofliceholders in connection with that con-
vention.
Oficeholders friendly to the admins
tration were outnumbered In both coun-
ty and state conventions by the office
holders with free silver proclivities. Not
one of the leaders of the majority on the
floor of the convention was federal Of
ficeholder. He declares that the delega-
tons were filled by persons outside the
counties represented. The 16 TO / men
had a majority of the delegates elected
of $50 or 200. On the contrary the returns
tabulated by the administration forces
before the delegates reached the city
showed a strong majority against free
silver. 3l-
The talk of the use of money he de-
clares, is pure and unadulterated SLAM
der and libel. If any money was used in
this state in the campaign 1t was used
in behalf of a free silver syndicate or
ganized and existing outside of this
state and furnishing money to carry on
the campaign in this state.
In conclusion Mr. Dickinson says that
it has been demonstrated that not more
than % per cent of the democratic voters
of this state favor the free and unlimited
coinage of silver.
Mr.. Dickinson declared that the Chi
cago convention will not favor the policy
of the free coinage at the ratio of 16 to 7.
