Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, MO-,
writes: "For six years l have been =
sufferer from scrofulous affection OF
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, ID. e.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and st. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After SIX
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re
moval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, l be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet
Had I only used your S.S.S. long ago,
1 would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $I5o."
This experience is like that Of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles
The doctors can do no good, and ever
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root Of
the disease and forces it out perma
nently.

AN OFFICERS LAPsUs LINGUH.


Says the investigators Must Not De-
pend on Divers Testimony Alone.
Havana, March A naval officer
here, in reply to a suggestion that it
was a pity such an important decision
as the verdict of the court of inquiry
into the Maine explosion should rest
solely upon the testimony of divers,
who seemed men of only average in
telligence, replied: 1.-The court of in
quiry has not had to depend upon
divers testimony alone" Then, re-
alizing that he had said more than he
intended, the officer resumed his habit
ual reserve. 1t is believed that the tes-
timony of Lieutenant Commander
Wainwright was highly important as
bearing on the question of the exist
ence of submarine mines.
If the Spanish court of inquiry under
Captain Peral has a definite plan OF
action, which seems doubtful, it has not
been made public. The Spanish divers
will, of course, report the results OF
their observations to the Spanish court
of inquiry, but when or where has moi
been made known.
Senator Proctor has seen much in 9
short time, and there is good authority
for saying that he will make the re-
suits of his observations known in z
strong speech in the senate on his re-
turn to Washington. At Matanzas
Miss Barton and Senator Proctor, un-
der the guidance of United States Con.
sui Brice and Mr.. GOVas, the British
Vice Consul, saw extremes of suffer,
ing they had never conceived possible
Four persons died in one ward whilt
the marty was there
Senator Proctor was reticent on tn,
subject, but others of the party de
clared that the whole east of the isl
and was under the control of Genera
Maxine Gomez. Senator Proctor how
ever, went so far as to say to the cor
respondent:
Certainly a peculiar state of af
fairs exists. A resident of Matanza
told me that If l wished to correspond
with General Gomez he would send m.
letter to him and have an answer bacl
in short time"
