DR.. J. FRASER BARBRICK,
The Boston Specialist.

The marvellous cures made by this
wonderful Physician and healer have at
tracted the attention of thousands of
people in every walk of life, and have
given to the sick and suffering new life
and hope. The immense amount of work
done in the state of Vermont alone dur
ing the past season and the stories of
wonderful cures told by his patients and
heard on every side are evidence of the
great success he has met with. DR.. Bar
brick In speaking of his system of treat
ment says
"By method original with me and
peculiarly my own, treat all forms of
chronic, long standing, obscure and diff
cult diseases, and have successfully
treated cases in which others have failed
and cured cases that have been given up
as iucurSble by other specialists and
reputable physicians. This method con-
sists of systematic application of the
true elements of Psyche Neuric healing
In combination with the Rational
Methods of Medicine and Surgery as
practised by me and which claim to be
the true and natural manner of applying
the healing art. In my use of this mode
Of treatment and the application of it to
this class of disease | claim originality,
and although my success has led to crude
limitations | believe that today | am the
only regularly educated Physician and
Surgeon in the world using these
methods In their entirety. This treat
ment is at once scientific, sensible and
progressive; safe in its application and
positive in its results"

OURFLAG ON THE AMAZONAS
She is Now an American Man-of- War
Saluted by Tilbury.


London.-A ceremony unique in naval
history to TX place in the River Thames on
the stretch of water running between
Gravesend and the historic fortress of Til
bury, in the formal transfer of the wal ship
Amazonas from Brazil to the United States.
1t was the first time that the flag of one
nation had been struck and another hoisted
on a man-of-war in waters foreign to both
flags in time of peace.
For the first time in two centuries Til
bury fort fired a friendly salute to the war
ships of another nation. The American
flag was voluntarily hoisted all over an
English seaport and the merchant marine
of England in its own waters dipped its
colors to a visiting American warship. No
better proof could be had of the feeling thai
England to-day holds for the United States
and of the desire of the powerful mother
country for an alliance with her formidable
offspring in the great republic.

A FARMERS OPINION.

In Sullivan County, about half mile from

named c. +. French. Like every sensible
farmer, Mr.. French subscribes for papers,
and one evening, as he was looking over his
Claremont weekly, his eye CHANGED to catch
a reading notice which proved bonanza for
him and frightened up his tagging spirits
over the low price of grain and farm produce
and the high price Of commodities which are
necessary for a farmers existence. A farmer
reasons in his own peculiar way, and he calls
a spade a spade; so Mr. French says quietly
to himself: II want just such a remedy as
Doan's Kidney Pills. II it carries out faith
fully half what it claims it will cure my lame
back. However much good may result from
one box, little or no harm can ensue." The
next time Mr.. French visited Claremont he
made some inquiries at a drug store about
the preparation, and was informed that
scores of people in Claremont and the sur
rounding country had thoroughly tested
Doan's Kidney Pills and published their ex-
perience in CAremont papers. This was
enough for Mr.. French. He purchased a
supply and what follows is his experience.
He says: "My kidneys have troubled me

FIVE years have been going from bad to
worse. doctored and used various kinds
of medicines with little or no result. For
several years had constant, sharp. dart
ing pain across my back; in fact, did not
know what it was to be without it. 1t felt
as though needle was run through me. l
also had kidney weakness which was very
distressing and inconvcnient at all times.
While in this condition l saw Doan's Kidney
Pills advertised and so highly recommended
that l was induced to try them. Having
used 50 many medicines without relief
must confess had little faith in them, but
was agreeably surprised after taking one box.
l am on my fourth or fifth now. Doan' s.
Kidney Pills knocked the pain in my back
higher than a kite. My other weakness is
also relieved. They have done more for me
than all the other medicines l have ever
taken, and feel as though can't speak too
we'll of Doan's Kidney Pills. You may pub
lish my statement, and hope it may benefit
others who are suffering in a similar way"

furious properties. Grain-O aids diges-

children, as well as adults, can drink 1t
with great benefit. Costs about one
quarter as much as coffee. Fifteen and
