A CRITICAL TIME
During the Battle
Of Santiago.
SICK OR WELL, A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.

The Packers at the Battle Of Santiago
de Cuba We're AL Heroes. Their
Heroic Efforts in Getting Ammuni-
ton and Rdtions to the Front Saved
the Day.
P. E. BUTLER, of pack-train No. 8,
writing from Santiago de Cuba, on
July 23rd, says: "We all had diar-
rhoea in more or less violent form,
and when we landed we had no time
to Q a doctor, for it was a case OF
rush and rush night and day to keep
the troops supplied with ammunition
and rations, but thanks to Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy, we r glad to keep at work
and keep our health lin fact,I sincere
ly believe that at one critical time
this medicine was the direct saviour
of n army, and IL the packers had
been unable to work there would
have been no way of getting supplies
to the front. There were no roads
that a wagon train could use. My
comrade and myself had the good for
tune to lay in a supply of this medi-
cine for our pack train before we left
Tampa, and / know in four cases 1t
absolutely saved life."
The above letter was written to the
manufacturers of this medicine, the

Probably no other woman ever suffered
just as Mrs. Adams did, the wife Of Rev.
A. r. Adams, pastor Of the Christian
church at Blandinsvi1le, III. Physicians
were baffled by her ailment, and for years
she was compelled to live . life Of torture.
To-day she Is well and the story Of her
suffering and recovery will toueh q fespon-
sive cord IN the heart Of every woman.
"About six years ago. said Mrs. Adams,
"my health began to fad. The first trouble
] noticed was with my stomach, food did
not agree with me, and my appetite failed
Until ] could scarcely eat.
II would begin to bloat before / was
through with a meal, and the food felt like
. stone In my stomach.
"Aftef eating ! would have pains In my
stomach with a smothered feeling which
would finally extend into my throat and
chest accompanied by a choking sensation.
81 began to bloat all over and my hands
and feet commenced swelling until Thought
/ had dropsy.
"In a short time I had pain and soreness
In my 1et. .. which extended across my
back accompanied by dizziness, and then
followed ssyere paroxysms OF pain extend
ing from the lower part Of my stomach into
the region Of my heart.
During these spells a hard ridge as large
as my arm would appear in the left side Of
my stomach and around the left side.
II had a feeling Of heaviness In my head
and at times could scarcely hold It up or
keep my eyes open, yet when night came
! could not sleep.

To brace up the system after "La
Grippe" pneumonia, fevers and other
~prostrating acute diseases; to build
up needed flesh and strength, and to
restore health and vigor when you
feel "run-down" and used-up, the
best thing in the world is DR.. pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t pro-
NOTES all the bodily functions, rouses
every organ into healthful action,
purifes and enriches the blood, and
through it cleanses, repairs and in
vigorates the entire system. For the

red ailments, the discovery" is un-
equaied as a remedy.
