A Ships Bottom
Covered with Barnacles.

AS a ships bottom becomes
covered with barnacles after long
voyages, that impede its progress.
SO the inner lining of the stomach
becomes changed, unnatural and
its action after years of abuse OBJ
structed. The recent discovery
of process for scrubbing" out
the stomach and releasing from
the delicate inner tissues accum-
ulations that nature has been I'M
able to repel, is only another
endorsement of the celebrated
Carlsbad Sprudel Salt, now sold
in every drug store of the land.
This salt dissolves the mucous
coatings, restores to action the
full functions of the greatest or
gan of the body, brings back to
full force the digestive powers
and, of course, imparts to the
whole body through nerves and
veins renewed life. Physicians
recommend a trip to Carlsbad
after fruitless efforts to cure. Why
not try Carlsbad Sprudei Salt, an
agreeableand cheap aid to natures

When the Facts: Are Brought Home
10 Us; and by Our Neighbors Too; They
Are Portland Facts.

A wholesome suspicion is one of our
characteristics as q people. In matters
worthy of investigation we want real,
tangible facts regarding it. The word of
those we know, the nearby evidence OBJ
tainable, are generally what we most de-
sire. When we call on neighbor, a man
of business, at that, and say, "You have
had some experience with so-andso; what
do you think of it," it goes long way
in helping our decision. This is always
the case with Do&n's Kidney Pills. Eve
rybody who has used them for kidney
complaint will tell you "they are just
the thing. Wy? Because they do the
work every time and in all disordered
conditions of the kidneys. The proof lies
with your neighbors. Many have
been cured in Portland and are ready to
tell you or anyone enquiring.
Mrs. Eliza Given, of No. 227 Federal
street. says: within limited space it
is not possible to give my opinion of
Doan's Kidney Pills and do them justice.
I only wish 1 could tell everyone what
had kidney complaint. 1t began with a
pain across the back which gradually ex-
tended to the side and down the leg.
grew worse and finally it famed me.
could not do anything without suffering
most severely. The pain felt as if a knife
was sticking into me. Any trivial house.
work aggravated it and to attempt heavy
work produced torture. At night it kept
me awake by the hour. I could only lie
for a short time in one position. Durin g
the day I was unable to walk properly
and was forced to limp. [ could not go
out, not even to church. To add to my
distress a urinary weakness set in that
was very embarrassing. l was in a very
bad way when I went to q. H. Hay &
Sons drug store. at the junction of Free
Pills. 1t seems wonderful what result
they brought about when think of my
suffering. I took three boxes, but they
cured me. l not only have rid myself of
backache, pain in the leg and urinary
weakness, but I am better in every way.
I shall never tire of ohampioning the
cause Of Doan's Kidney Pills.
You can get Doan's Kidney Pills at
you druggists or they will be sent post
paid ON receipt of price by Foster Milbura

POLO NOTES.

Manager Durham says that the report
sent out from Gardiner of the game in
that city, Wednesday night, would give
the impression that Portland was so easy
that Gardiner played the entire second
period with four men on the floor and
thus allowed Portland to score its two
goals. This Manager Burnham claims to
be far from the truth, and says Gardiner
had it's hands full to score five times dur.
ing the game and three of the goals were
pretty lucky for them. In the first perl
cd the floor was very slippery and Gardi-
ner ankle men had the advantage. After
demand by Portland, pumice was put,
on after the first period. Portland scored
its FIRST goal in the second period while
Gardiner had its full team on the floor.
Houghton was off the floor for about
three minutes afterwards, during which
time Gardiner, with a lead of four to one
played simply defense game and paid
no attention to scoring. Portlan dur
ing this time scored its second goal. In
the third period Gardiner scored once in
drive by Smith and the balance of the
time was spent in work hot enough it
would seem to suit even Gardiner people
The Portland team as we'll as all others
Is handicapped at Gardiner by the ex-
IRENE large surface, much larger than
any other in the leagne. Manager Burn
ham says that while he was not entirely
satisfied with the work. of his club at
Gardiner it was by no means waIkover
and the lofty GARDENERS scored all the
goals they were able to and gave none
that they were notsobliged.-
Portland play Bath at City hall TO-
night. This is the first Saturday night
game of the season and will probably be
the only one. Portland has played stiff
polo with Bath, and if the playing of the
team at Augusta Thursday night is any
indication there will be hot game.
Gardiner has been getting along with
five men owing to the illness of Charlie
Gay; The rules require substitute in
uniform and Manager Burnham says on
this point, II have always had six men
in uniform, both at home and away and
shall insist upon this with the other
