CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid

bles. So the womb, like the bladder,
was created tor one purpose, and if not
doctored too much is not liable to
weakness or disease, except In rare
cases. It is situated back OF and very
close to the bladder, therefore any pain
disease or inconvenience manifested IN
the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary
passage is often by mistake, attributed
to female weakness or womb trouble of
some sort. The error is easily made
and may be as easily avoided. To find
out correctly, set your urine for twenty
four hours sedement or settling in

Samuel Mcintyre. one OF the manag-
ing directors OF the Mammoth. re-
turned from Tlntic this morning. after
satisfying himself as to the actual con-
dition of affairs at the property. The
gentleman is not an enthusiast in any
sense of the term. and therefore his
remarks are to he taken as the words Of
a conservative man. He confirms re-
ports of recent strikes in the mine. in
that their discovery in virgin ground is
n fact. but says that they are not sem
sationally rich bodies as some sup
posed, but merely stringers, which in
all probability will shortly lead to
something better. The importance of
the strikes is emphasized by Mr.. Nc
lntyre. and he looks for future develop
ments being such as to cause great
rejoicing in the Mammoth ranks.
The Mammoth directors were
scheduled for a meeting late this af-
ternoon, ut which time the regular
monthly dividend Of 100000 was looked
for.

Sarsapayilia.

Yes, scrofula, fanything, may be called

scourge OF the world - offensive, painful,
facilitating, stubborn and well nigh
uncomfortable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate tho
faint from the blood.
There Is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, SO far as We
know, has almost invariably succeeded -
even where the system has been poisoned
by long y,ars Q. faint, and the ravages 20
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparilia. Read this:
"My daughter was afflicted with i'm
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
rills and l began giving the girl this med
icine. The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking few bottles.
She has had no symptoms OF scrofula
