insurgents and take sides with
them. We will then have on our
hands in the various islands we
propose to occupy from ten to
twelve millions of dissatisfied and
hostile people.
1t is impossible for this govern
ment under the name of liberty
and patriotism to engage in a
struggle for plumber and oppression
which will involve countless lives
and untold millions. Cordial CO.
operation and assistance extended
at this time to the misgoverned and
maltreated colonies of Spain will
expand the area of liberty, advance
the cause of free government, and
shed ulster upon the name of the
American republic. There must be
no mistake in dealing with the
great crisis in which our country is
now involved. The people of the
islands which we occupy must be
our friends, and we can make them
such.

Discovered by a Woman.

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in
this country. "Disease fastened
its clutches upon her and for seven
years she withstood its severest
tests, but her vital organs were
undermined and death seemed i'm
minent. For three months she
coughed necessarily, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered a way
to recovery, by purchasing of us a
bottle of DR.. Kings New Discovery
for Consumption, and was so much
relieved on taking first dose, that
she slept all night; and with two
bottles, has been absolutely cured.
Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz.n

was cured of rheumatism after three years
of suffering. He says: 81 have not suf-

told me that nothing could be done for
me; -my friends were fully convinced that
nothing but death would relieve me of
my suffering. In June, 1894, Mr.. Evans,
then salesman for the Wheeling Drug
Co., recommended Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. At this time my foot and limb
were swollen to more than double their

would burst, but soon after began using
the Pain Balm, the swelling began to de-
crease, the pain to leave, and now con-
slider that am entirely cured. For sale
