A Remarkable Cure of Chronic Diarrhoea.

In 1862, when | served my country
as "a private in Company A, 10th
Pennsylvania Volunteers, | contracted
chronic diarrhoea. 1t has given me a
great deal of trouble ever since
have tried a dozen different medicines
and several prominent doctors without
any permanent relief. Not long ago a
friend sent me sample bottle Of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy, and after that bought and
took soc bottle; and now can say
thankful enough to you for this great
remedy and recommend it to all suffer
ing veterans. If in doubt write me.

Something to Depend on.

Mr.. James Jones, of the drug firm of
Jones & Son, Cowden, H., in speaking
of DR.. Kings New Discovery, says that
last winter his wife was attacked with
La Grippe, and her case grew so SER
ious that physicians at Cowden and
Parma could do nothing for her. 1t
seemed to develop into Hasty Con-
sumption. Having DR.. Kings New
Discovery in store, and selling lots of
it, he took bottle home, and to the
surprise of all she began to get better
from first dose, and half dozen dollar
bottles cured her sound and well. DR..
Kings New Discovery for Consump-
ton, Coughs and Colds is guaranteed
to do this good work. Try it. Free
trial bottles at Fisk Bangs Drug Store.

BOYS The most important factors In
causing lateral curvature are the super

The first stage of lateral curvature is
rarely seen. There arc three degrees OF
curvature, however, that are usually
recognized. The first IL when the curva'

sAn Enemy 20 the King" 10y r. y.
Stephens, beginning Monday, March 22d,
.at the Providence Opera House, with one
matinee 1t is one OF the most pleasing
and beautiful productions ever presented
by Mr. Daniel Erohman; and having as
usual surrounded his star with carefully
selected company, is In itself guarantee
of it's success here as Il was at his beauti-
full theatre in New York, where IL was
the reigning success for three months.
"An Enemy TO the King" exhibits
the highest and most necessary qualities
of successful work for the stage, dealing
most feelingly with human passions of an
elevated and absorbing nature; the dia-
logue is written in admirable and pictur-
esque English, while the dramatic effects
are of striking and cumulative interests.
Tt Is in all respects admirable. The author
has made history its basis and the at
mosphere which he at once establishes In
the intelligence Of the audience makes the
incidents and the plot perfectly compre-
hensible, logical and gratifying.
The time of the play Is that historical
and picturesque period of the sixteenth
