He is now Cured, and He Thanks God
and P. P. P, Lippman's Great Rem.
edy, For II,

Mr.. George Briggs, of Moore, Okla.
suffered almost Undesirable torment
for three long years. Neuralgia held
him captive. The right side of his face
was so badly affected that the slightest
touch would cause the unfortunate
man intense agony. For several weeks
he could open his mouth just wide
enough to be fed with liquid nourish-
ment, and in this manner life was sus-
tanned. Read the following extract
from his letter Truth is stranger
than Fiction"
NEURALGIA, CATARRH AND RHEUMA.
TISM COMPLETELY CURED.
George Briggs, of Moore, Oklahoma,
writes that P. P. P, Lippman's Great
Remedy, cured him of catarrh, facial
neuralgia and rheumatism, after three
years of intense suffering. The pain
lay in his cheek bone and temple, down
the right side of his face, along his
upper lip, and from the slightest touch
he suffered agonies for weeks at time.
Could only open his mouth wide enough
to admit teaspoon, and any acid in
his food would put him in torture. He
had a consultation of the best physi-
clans in Texas, but all to no purpose.
NdGdFEn duO Eu6uudGlSLu were dlSO
causing him much trouble, until he
tried P. p. P. He says he is well and
will swear that there are no cases of
neuralgia, cataTrh and rheumatism,
no matter how chronic or how old the
cases are, that P. P. P. will not make
a total cure of.
Mr.. Briggs winds up his testimony
by saying he thanks God and our med
icine, P. P. p, Lippman's Great Rem
e6y, for the great cure.
Kidney troubles, If neglected, bring
about serious and painful and very
often fatal results. P. P. P. removes
the irregularities, and cures the dis
eased parts.
Dyspepsia and indigestion, skin and
blood diseases, can be speedily removed
by P. P. P, Lippman's Great Remedy.
Ladies, take P. P. P. and rid your
face of pimples, blotches, freckles,
yellow or muddy skin, wrinkles and
vulgar redness,

HELP EXTENDED.
Americans in Cuba Receive
$4,000.
President McKinlcy's Message
Prompt Concurrence.

| WASHINGTON, ID. G., May 20-Cuba has
been engrossing the attention of the Senate.
The public interest in the subject has been
shown by the great crowds which have be-
sieged the galleries. Among the occupants
OF the diplomatic gallery have been Sir Jul
ian Pauncefote, the British ambassador, and
| Minister Hatch of Hawaii and in the re-
served gallery was General Daniel l.. Sickles,
eX-united States minister to Spain. Two
phases OF the subject have been presented
First. the question of relief to destitute and
starving Americans in Cuba. This was pre-
sented in the following message from the
presidents
To the Senate and House OF Representa-
tives OF the United States Official Informal
ton from our consuls in Cuba establishes
the fact that large number of American
citizens In the island are in state OF desti-
tuition, suffering for want of food and medi-
cines. This applies particularly to the
rural districts of the central and eastern
parts. The agricultural classes have been
forced from their farms into the nearest
towns, where they are without work or
money. The local authorities of the several
towns, however kindly disposed, are unable
to relieve the needs of their own people, and
are altogether pOwerless to help our own
citizens. The latest report OF Consul Gem
sral Lee estimates six to eight hundred are
without means of support. l have assured
him that provision would be made at once to
relieve them. To that end, 1 recon-
mend that Congress make an appropria-
ton of not less than $4,000, to be
Immediately available for use under
the direction OF the secretary of state. 1t
is desirable that part of the sum which
may be appropriated by Congress should, in
the discretion OF the secretary OF state, also
be used for the transportation of American
citizens desiring to return to the United
States who are without means to do 80.
(SigneO VIM. MCKINLEY,
Executive Mansion, May II, 1897.
Immediately following the reading of the
message, Mr.. Davis, chairman of the com
nittee on foreign relations, presented
favorable report on joint resolution origi-
nally introduced by Mr.. Gallinger, appro-
priating $50, 900 for relief OF American citi-
zens in Cuba. There was only one brief
speech from Mr.. Gallinger, and then tho
resolution went through by unanimous vote.
The full text Of the resolution was:
Resolved, by the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives Of the United States In Congress
assembled, that the sum Of $50, 900 be, and
the same is hereby appropriated out of any
money IN the treasury not otherwise appro-
priated for the relief of destitute citizens Of
the United States in the Island of Cuba, said
money to DO expended at the discretion and
under the direction of the president of the
United States In tho purchase and furnishing
OF food, clothing and medicines to such cit
liens, and for transporting to the United
States such of them as so desire, and who
arc without means to transport themselves.

Birds Curious Prison,

In chopping down tree the other
day II Sherman county PENNSYLVANIA
farmer noticed limb with cavity
some two feet in length and three or
four inches in diameter, in which were
two large, full-grown birds. There
was small opening, through which
the birds received food from their
mates. The limb was cut and the
birds liberated. Neither was able to
fly, having never been out of its place
of Imprisonment,

was small, and though able to make
her nest in the hollow of the tree and
rear her young. could not cN,rira,c

under the sea at depth of twenty
seven i-.thoms. The names of the

they were subject to pressure of

PROF. ALVIN =. BARNABy.

A reporter recently called at this famous
seat OF learning and was shown into the
room OF the President, Prof. Alvin p. Bar

Barnaby was in delicate health. To-day he
was apparently in tue best of health. In
response to an inquiry the professor said:
"Oh, yes, I am much better than for some
time. I am now in perfect health; but my
recovery was brought about in rather pc
culiar way"
"Tell me about it," said the reporter.
"Well, to begin at the beginning said
