 The Heraldo says also: we under stand that the government will express its confidence that the new policy % b. pursued with regard to Cuba wil, pro- duce change in the attitude of the United States"

 The weapon with which these men have has been Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery. It is the only known medicine that will prevent and cure consumption. Taken in time, it will always ward off this deadly disease, and even after the devastat- ing germs have attacked the lungs, it will cure o8 per cent. of all cases. It acts di- rectly on the lungs, building up new, healthy tissues and driving out all disease germs. It corrects all stomach and diges- tive troubles, invigorates the liver and makes the appetite keen and hearty. It is the great blood maker, flesh builder and nerve tonic. There is nothing else "just as good and the druggist who says so is untrustworthy.
