It is easy for man to avoid sickness if he will keep a watchful eye on his digestion and resort to the right remedy the moment he feels himself out of sorts.
 All disorders of the digestion are corrected by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It restores lost appetite. invigorates the liver, and fills the blood with the ife-giving elements that build healthy flesh and firm muscles. It is the great blood-maker, f1esh- builder, and nerve tonic. It cures oS per cent. of all cases of consumption. It cures wasting diseases and nervous troubles.

 T The news of Evangelina's escape was carried to Palmerola at the palace short ly after 8 o'clock by Don Jose Quintana, the alcade of the prison. For the time Palmerola was like 0 crazy man. He burst into a torrent of abuse against the ,alcalde and every one conntcted with the prison, threatening them all with the chafarinas, and started at once the Investigation that is now being carried on. He was furious for hours and no one dared go near him on the most peaceful mission.
 ( Finally 1t was decided to make the best of the affair and to say that she had been set at liberty by the Spanish government. This plan was working beautifully until Thursday evening, when word was telegraphed here by ths Spanish consul in New York that the Journal had published exclusively the news of Evangelina's escape.
