Disordorod Liver

YOUNG boy.


Few boys Withstand an illness Of so serious
q nature as that with which Fred l.. Howse
was year AGO afflicted. Fred is now fifteen
years of age, and attends the public schools.
His home is No. 80 Plymouth Place, Cleve-
land, Ohio, and he is now picture of puerile
health and vigor. In the fall of 1895, however,
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Howse,
the former, a well.known business man,
whose office is in the Arcade, had almost de-
SPARED of saving his life. The lad became
afflicted with infammatory rheumatism
which affected his entire body, and accom-
panying that painful ailment were several
other very serious disorders. When she was
requested to describe her sons sickness and
his recovery, Mrs. Howse said
at was in September, 1895, that Fred
who was up to that time in delicate health,
was attacked by infammatory rheumatism,
Ii was O very acute case for he was confined
to his bed, and was unaTe to move even his
arms or legs without bringing on excruciat-
"Aside from the rheumatism Fred's liver
was in serious disorder, and he used to vomit
frequently. He was also subject to fanting
spells, and altogether he had very serious
sickness.
1--WE knew, of course, that though the
rheumatism was exceedingly painful, it was
not necessarily dangerous ; the fainting spells
and vomiting however alarmed us. Oftel.
when Fred tainted he would lay like one
dead. Ills face would become ashen pale

and il was difficult al such times to detect
his heart beats. These spells caused Mr..
Howse and myself much uneasiness about
our boys condition. We called in a doctor
and he prescribed for Fred, but the lad did
not seem to improve, so | purchased a box
of DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
in one of the down town stores. Then for
four months steadily Fred took them instead
of the medicine prescribed by the doctor
and OF the end of that pcriod-it was about
New Years then--tred was sufficiently inn
proved to be able to 90 out.
THE improvement was slow at first, but
IL was sure. | had unbodnded faith in the
pills as is evidenced by our continued use of
them. Ii was necessary for us to take Fred
out of school on account of his illness, but
now he has returned and can join in all the
sports with his schoolmates, and his health
is as good as we could wish. lie has never
been i'll since, and it is pretty safe to predict
that he will not be sick again for some time.

SHOT INTO THE PRISON.
Spaniards Kept Up the Fun Until
They Had Killed 1870 Persons.

New York. April "a Vancouver, r.
c., dispatch to the Sun says: The
American whaling bark Charles w.
Morgan, Captain ]. o. Layton, brings
a story from Yokohama of massacre
at the southern island Of Guam. A
Spanish vessel brought from the Phil
ippines to that point 400 prisoners.
Food was scarce and the guard was
small and the insurgent prisoners tried
to break out of a small barn, where
they were confined
To discourage any such attempts the
Spanish soldiers each night for three
nights amused themselves by firing
into the barn. On the first night rs
were killed, on the second night 60, and
on the third As, $50 in all. Those who
survived, to be shot by martial law
later saved themselves for the time
by making barricades of the bodies Of
their dead companions and hiding be-
hind them. The corpses We're so rid
died with bullets that the clothing on
them was in tatters.
The story has been confirmed by the
Japanese schooner Minalogawa and has
caused great Indignation in Yokohama

New York, April "A special to the
Sun from the City of Mexico, says: A
few days ago an American business
man of this city who was known here
under the name of Thomas c. Price
died in the American hospital. On his
deathbeo he made the statement that
he had lived in this city for the past
five years under an assumed name, and
that his real name was Thomas Nixon
Allison. He said that for several years
he was an extensive operator in real
estate in Philadelphia, and that his
business affairs became so involved
that he was forced to leave that city.
He bought a ticket for Mexico under
the name of Price. and went by that
name thereafter. None of his friends
in Philadelphia knew of his where

family short time after his arrival.
He requested that public explanation
be made and that his family resume his

MARKETS AND STOCKS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, April 9.-Trading, as COM
pared with the trading on some days this
week, there was considerable animation
to business on the Stock Exchange, though
the market has by no means attained
large proportions yet Nearly half the
sales today were of sugar and Chicago
Gas and the Grangers and coalers took up
a large part Of the remaining half. SO
that the apparent increase in business was
largely confined to a few stocks. The
market opened with quite a marked up
ward tendency, and as prices worked up
ward there was broadening in the scope
of the buying. Unfavorable influences de-
veloped and traders took their profit. This
proved too much for the market and val
ues sagged off closing prices showing in
most cases sharp net losses. The total
sales of stocks today were 19j,43i shares.

Been Cut Off.

jackson, Miss, April s.--At 1875 a.
m. today all wire communication with
Greenville, Miss. was lost. The sudden
cutting off may be significant.
The city, which has a population of
$4,000, has for days been seriously
threatened by the Mississippi river
flood. II is below the level of the high
stage reached by the water, which had
for some time surrounded 1t for several
miles on ell sides.
Levees protected the city, but fears
were expressed that they would not be
able to resist the immense weight of
water.
Startling rumors are current here.
Vicksburg, Miss, April 9-It was a
wild night at Vicksburg. A fierce
northerly gale is blowing, and the lake
Is now nearly three miles wide and is
white with foam. The waves have a
long sweep at the Louisiana levee and
may do them great harm.
TRYING TO SAVE THE LEVEES.
New Orleans, April 9.-The river at
New Orleans is well over the 1S-foot
mark. The highest previous record is
179 in 1893. 1t is now 1872. The engi-
neers expected 1876. but that was upon
the arrival of the flood wave, which is
still en- route.
Last night City Engineer Bell pre-
dcted that the river would go a foot
higher, and the levee board has secured
consent to blockade many streets lead
ing to the levee. Low places will be
raised at once, and work on the line
begun with renewed energy, for time is
short.
The worst feature of the situation Is
The daily storm. Last evenings blow
was the worst so far. doing consider
able damage and tearing a steamship
and steamboat away from their moor
ings. All the levee boards base their
hope of holding the line upon fair
weather but April is always a stormy
month here, and this month is far from
proving an exception.
RELIEF TRAINS BY NIGHT AND
DAY.
The drenching and battering the
banks are receiving are beginning to
tell, and the danger is becoming great
er, relief trains now going out by night
as well as day.
With the greatest flood and the
stormiest month coming together, the
Louisiana levees have borne the brunt

stand indefinitely, the advocates of the
