New Era in
Medicine.
This tells efa discovery that a2eviafes suffering and
PyOlOngs life. IL is nexpensi0e efeafoe. MedieaI
science is ye0ofionised this, Of tie greatest
achievements Of modern times.

The fact that several dollars spent for the
right medicine has effected cure where a
skilled and expensive physician aided by
the latest and most ingenious instrument Of
science, had failed, Is a matter Of much
importance.
Important, because II opens to downcast
sufferers a new, inexpensive and sure
avenue to the restoration OF health and the
full enjoyment Of the pleasures Of life.
Such was the experience OF Mrs. Ada
~. Herr, OF 439 North Charlotte Street,
Lancaster, Pa.
From weak, nervous, desponding per-
son, she was made strong, active woman
and a cheerful, helpful wife.
Her story is interesting.
Mrs. Herr suffered terribly from female
disor ders. Her nerves became unstrung,
cramps griped her and caused the most
intense pain.
So weak and physically demoralized
was she, that the slightest labor wearied
her and household duties were burden.
The most alarming symptoms of her
malady were the frequent fainting spells
that afflicted her.
In the midst of her work, or in con-
wrsation, dizziness would come upon her
and she would fall PROSTATE in a swoon.
She consulted reputable physician. He
diagnosed her case and prescribed the usual
remedies.
Instead Of improving, she continued to
grow worse the ailment that was robbing
her life Of the joys Of young womanhood
became more pronounced.

AFTER 20 YEARS
a GRAND RAPIDS LADY STRIKES THE RIGHT
THING.

Many extraordinary cases of the work
of the little conqueror are coming to
light in Michigan. Hundreds of them have
been investigated 10y our representative
and each but gives added strength to
those which have gone before. Such
well deserved words of praise are daily
showered on this modern wonder worker
from all parts of the union. Speaking of
her experience lady of Grand Bapids,
Mrs. Jno. Gardner, who resides at No
800 % ST., says: For over 20 years
was bothered with kidney trouble, and
despite treatment by physicians and
using almost every remedy that came TO
my notice | received no permanent re-
lief until | tried Doan's Kidney Pills.
No one except those who have kidney
complaint can tell the torture one en-
dures. The constant pains across my
back; totally unable to lie on my side; the
stiffness and numbness of my limbs; many

II seemed impossible 10 correct or even 10
check the disorders.
81 had become greatly weakened" said
MRS. Herr, in telling her story to reporter,
"and the awful cramps and the frequency
and nature Of the fainting spells alarmed
me beyond belief and shattered my system.
81 tried electric treatment, 1t failed, and
/ did not know where to turn for help.
"a friend told me how her mother had
been greatly benefited by taking DR.. VIII
EAms' Pink Pills for Pale People.
81 had but little hope for success, but de-
eided to give these pills trial.
IL took two boxes and was much bens-
fitted. After taking six more boxes was
cured. DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People had done what all the previous
treatment had failed to do.
81 am fully restored to health now, and
do things that had hardly dared attempt
before"
No discovery Of modern times has proved
such boon to women as DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. Acting directly on
the blood and nerves, invigorating the body,
regulating the functions, they restore the
strength and health to the exhausted woman
when every effort Of the physician proves
unavailing.
These pills are recognized everywhere
as a specific for diseases of the blood and
nerves. For paralysis, locomotor ataxia,
and other diseases long supposed incurable,
they have proved their efficacy in thousands
of cases. Truly they are one Of the greatest
blessings ever bestowed upon mankind.

Bef~e Santiago. July s-[Copyrght,

struction OF the Spanish fleet and that

consider the advisabiity Of captivating
with his garrison. Although General
Toral is apparently anxious TO resist
20 the bitter end the utter hopeless
ness Of hoding out against a siege by
land and sea must be forcing itself up
on him. The food supply in Santiago
is low and it is understood that the
ammunition is running short. Our posi-
ton is being hourly strengthened.
Prospects for Capitulation.
" The prospects for the capitulation of
Santiago without further fighting grow
with each hour Of delay. The archbishop
has appealed to General Bianco To sur
render the city. Firing was not re-
sumed, although the truce is supposed
TO be ended. Both armies have been
informed that Washington and Madrid
are negotiating terms of peace. The
white flag still flies over the Santiago
lines, There have been no messages or
flags of truce between the commanders
since when Assistant Naval Construc-
tor Hobson and his men were ex-
changed. 1t is stated by refugees that
the volunteers at Santiago were loud in
their demands that the city should be
surrendered: so persistent in fact that
many of them were imprisoned.
ToraI Will Fight to the Death.
The prospects Of capitulaton without
further fighting, however are not so
clear when the following is considered:
Mr.. Ramsden, the British consul, when
asked by the Associated Press CORE
spondent whether the Spanish general
would continue to resist, replied: "Of
course he will. Toral will fight till he
dies" General Blanco telegraphed
Toral from Havana: The Spanard
dies, but never surrenders," p9raphras-
ing the historic cry OF Napoleon s
Imperial Guard This statement is con-
firmed by the French cable operators,
who have left Santiago. They told the
writer of this dispatch that the cable
was still working to Jamaica and that
they connected il with the cable 10 Ha-
vana before leaving. This gives Gen
eral Blanco communication with Mad
rid, but cuts out Santiago. The desper-
ate character of General Torafs de-
termination to continue the struggle
is apparent when il is known that the
Spanish soldiers have less than a days
ammunition remaining.

He Lifts the Mortgage From His Parental
Home With His Pen.

WASHINGTON, D. @. (SpcraD.-Lieuten-
ant Hobson has just lifted i mortgage OF
$1,000 on the homo OF his father. He earned
the money with his pen. He has proved as
successful as writer as he was as q sailor.
Following the sinking Of the Merrimac
by Hobson and his men came the announce
ment that his house IN the South, the
house in which his parents, brothers and
sisters lived. was TO be sold for mortgage
OF $1,000. No sooner had the announce
ment been made than q movement was
started to raise the sum BY popular SUBJ
scription.
While Robson and his men were held
prisoners OF war in Moro Castle word was
sent to his parents that the foreclosure OF
the mortgage would be averted and the
money raised by the people OF the country
at large, only too glad TO show in such
small measure their recognition OF brave
officers daring feat.
This offer was courteously but firmly de-
clined by tho lleutenants father, who
stated in card to the press that the mat
ter OF the mortgage had been satisfactorily
settled. AS matter OF fact, the settle
nant referred TO was but q postponement
of the foreclosure Recently the date OF

paid in full by Lieutenant Hobson himself,

England and Switzerland May Not Agree
to ANY Sweeping Proposals.
LONDON (By Cable).-As basis upon
which to work when the anti-Anarchist
conference meets in Rome, the following
primary purposes will be declared
IN To remove Anarchists in all coun-
tries from the category Of political Of
tenders to the category of common male
factors.
(2) To secure similar action by all coun-
tries against Anarchists pursuant to the
first purpose.
Governments will be asked to agree to
the eXtradltion OF Anarchists upon PROOF
that they are such in the courts OF the
country sheltering them, furnished by the
country asking eXtradition, pursuant to
the second purpose. Governments Will De
asked to curb the Anarchist press and
propaganda generally and to unite IN In
ternational surveillance and exchange OF
information.
1t Is believed that all the comforting
powers except England and Switzerland
will support these proposals In principle.
England and Switzerland are luSewarm
and are likely 20 raise objections which,
with probable differences among other
powers over details OF application, will
cause the conference TO have small prac-
tlcal results.
1t Is said that prominent Anarchists Will
bring pressure to bear to show that
Anarchism does not teach violence.
