In other words, if you want to he healthy,
you should use the natural aid which Is at
your hand and not any artificial aid
We all know how valuable mineral
waters are In many cases of sickness and
we realize how often their use NAV prevent
sickness and preserve health. For the past
thirty years there has been before the
people of America one of the greatest
natural aids known to the world. 1t has
been analysed by scientists, it has been
tested by physicians, and has been proven
by the public. Here Is what a few eminent
physicians say:
DR.. Alexander Mott, Madison Avenue:
ain my Judgment, Bethesda is the only
one of the waters in the market which, as
a diuretic, does not overtaX the Kidneys"
DIR. Shrady, Lexington Avenue: IL have
prescribed enough Bethesda water to swim

DIR. William Myron Reynolds, West 5sth

In addition to these eminent physicians
this wonderful water has the Endorsement
OF such men as Ex. Nice-Prcsident Steven
son, Hon. j. b. Foraker, Hon. Charles
Foster, ex.Sccrctary Of the Treasury,
and other prominent and well-known
men,. 1t richly deserves all the commenda-
tion it has received, and it can aid any man
or woman who may be suffering from kid
ncy or urinary troubles, and who may be

STRIKE ON THE REVENUE CUTTERS.
The seamen on the Pacific Coast Refused to
Accept the Reduction or Pay.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-Thcro will DO no no.
duction in the pay OF seamen in the revenue
cutter service on the Pacific coast, owing to tho
Klondike excitement. When Capt Shoemaker
became chief of the service. he found that sea-
men on the Pacific were paid from 500 to $32 n
month. while for the Same service on the Atlantic
satisfied him that there Was no good reason for
this discrimination, and several weeks ago
Secretary Gage issued an order eQualizing tho
rate OF payments. on the basis OF those paid in
the East.
When the reyC cutters came back from
Alaska last wcck, tncy were informed OF tho
proposed reduction. and the crews on tho Perry,
Grant. and Rush promptly declined 10 serve.
As the KlOndike craze had depleted the coast OF
desirable men OF that class. tho Administration
was confronted with tho necessity OF resembling
the order or OF laying up the cutters. So telc-
graphic instructions were forwarded last night
to tho commanders of the vessels to suspend tho
order for the present. and now Capt. Shoemaker
is wondering whether or not the men on the
Atlantic cutters will strike for equal wages.

sistent efforts of Drs. Crumbaugh and
