KIDNEY TROUBLE.
A Custom House Inspector
Made Well of a Serious
Trouble by DR.. Clarke'S
Red-Ir0n-PillS.

Any one of the vital organs of the body are
liable to break down when the blood is dis
ordered or the nerves are deranged. Impure
blood and deranged nerves generally 60 hand
in hand. A serious complication Of some or
all of the organs of the body generally follows
such state of the hood and nerves.
When you find something is radically
wrong, you should make up your mind that
the cause may be found with your nerves and
blood. Cure the cause and you will cure the
result.
There is no medicine that will so quickly,
safely and surely purify the blood, strengthen
and invigorate the nerves and give tone to
every one of the organs of the body, as DIR.
Clarke's Red-Iron-Pills. The following letter
from Mr.. 7. McGillicuddy, an inspector in
the Boston Custom House, is of interest in
this connection. He writes as follows:-
''For long time l have been a sufferer
from kidney trouble and nervousness. My
position as n. Inspector in the Boston Gus.
tom House demanded unusual hours. was
obliged to stand most of the time on my feet.
I suffered intense pains in the back and my
nerves were completely unstrung. Twas ad-
vised to try DR.. Clarke's Red-Iron- Pills.
They worked to my benefit instantly. Their
action was wonderful. l heartily recommend
them to all sufferers"
There is food for thought in the above letter.
# more people would follow the advice given
there, we would hear of many less untimely
deaths. Red-Iron-Pills can be bought of all
druggists, 80 cts. box, six boxes for $3.50,
or will be mailed on receipt of price by adj

THE PORTLAND'S FATE.
Observer Small Thinks She Went Down
Outside Peaked Hill Bars.

Highland Light, Dec. At will never
be known how, when and where the Port
land met her fate, but there are many
theories. Perhaps the most plausible one
is that of Morton Small the veteran ma
rine observer and reporter for the Boston
Chamber of Commerce at Highland light.
Mr.. Small has been at this station for
81 years and has witnessed many ship
wrecks on this storm beaten coast. He
says:
Il believe the Portland went down
northeast of High Head station, between
8 and 10 o'clock ON Sunday night, Nov. q.
and that she was never nearer than one
half mile, nor more than two miles from
the outer line of Peaked Hill bars
This theory is strengthened by the
fact that every watch found upon bodies
which have drifted ashore stopped be-
tween the hours of and 10
