Remains of the Maine Lying i'm

New York, May "A dispatch to the
Journal from Washington, says:
The state department has learned
through it's secret agents that the
wreck of the battleship Maine, lying in
Havana harbor, had been destroyed by
the Spanish authorities. It is supposed
by officials of the administration that
this action on the part of the Spanish
authorities had been taken to prevent
raising of the wreck after the capture of
Havana.
A cabinet member is authority for the
following statement to the Journal:
I'VE shall make it part of our first
business as soon as we take possession
of Havana, to find out who were the
perpetrators of that crime of the night
of February Is.
IF we find that they have escaped
from the island and have gone back to
Spain we will follow them there and tell
Spain that the war shall not stop un-
til they have been delivered up to us
for punishment"

JOHN MORROW'S DISCOVERY GIVES
HEALTH TO DIABETES PATIENTS.
One of the Worst Diseases Known to
Man is Overcome by Modern
Science

When the common symptoms of kid
ney troubles are neglected the careless
sufferer is in great danger of contract
ing diabetes or Bright's disease, two of
the most terrible aff1iction that have
been imposed on mankind The rem
edy for the earliest stages, as we'll as
the worst cases, one that will restore
the kidneys to sound health, is Nor
rows Kidneoids. These yellow tablets
should be taken when the back aches,
or when headaches, Chillness, loss of
energy or pain in urinating show that
the kidneys are out of order.
Diabetes, that disease which is almost
as deadly as Bright'S disease, is indi-
Gated by failure of strength and emac-
iation. The mouth is pasty, skin dry
and hard, the bowels. are constipated,
vomiting is frequent, the vision becomes
dim, memory and intellect fail, and the
temper becomes irritable.
A recent case of the cure of this aw-
full disease by Morrow's Kidneoids is
that of Mr.. c. E. Clippinger, a we'll
known confectioner of So South Lime
stone street, Springfield, Ohio. He
writes:
IT have been a constant sufferer from
kidney disease for the past year. Very
often upon arising in the morning the
pain was so severe that could scarcely
get about at all. I consulted with diff
ferent physicians and they all told me
that / was troubled with diabetes, and
treated me for same, but I failed to de-
rive any benefit from their medicine. I
was finally persuaded to give Morrow
Kidneoids a trial, and to my great sur
prise, after I had taken but one box,
the pain left me and have experienced
no trouble since then. / feel entirely
well, and am enjoying better health in
every way than for several years.
The fame of MOrrUw's kidneoids has
created a demand for them everywhere
and they are now sold by all dealers at
so cents a box, six boxes for S. so. If
for any reason the dealer cannot sup
ply you, they will be sent postpaid on
receipt of the price by the Herb Medi-
cine Co., Springfield, Ohio.
