ASTHMA'S PROGRESS.
From Cold to Cure.
No relief i'm other remedies.

There are many medicines that pailiate
asthma. There are few that do more than
relieve for time the oppressed breathing
of the sufferer. There are few diseases
more troublesome aud more irritating
than asthma. 1t interferes alike with
business and with pleasure. 1t prevents
enjoyment of the day aud makes the night
a terror. A remedy for asthma would be
hailed by thousands as the greatest posi-
BILE boon that could be offered them. There
Is remedy for asthma. DR.. j. {. Ayers
Cherry Pectoral has cured hundreds of
cases of this disease, and testimonials to
its efficacy from those who have tried the
remedy are multiplying with every year.
The cases presented in the testimonials
that follow, may be taken as exemplifying
the quick and radical action of this great
remedy.

A WOMAN'S BURDEN.

From the Evening News, Detroit, Mich.
The women of to-day are not as strong as
their grandmothers. They are bearing a
burden in silence that grows heavier day by
day; that is sapping their vitality and cloud
ing their happiness.
Mrs. Alexander B. Clark, of All Michigan
Avenue, Detroit, is typical woman of to-
day. A wife with such ambition as only a
loving wife can have. But the joys of her
life were marred by the existence of disease.
Suffering as thousands of her sisters have
suffered, she almost despaired of life and yet

Claims Spanish victory.


London, May 2.-While it is quite
clear that the Spanish squadron has
suffered crushing defeat, the dis
patches leave unclear the intensely in
teresting question whether the Ameri-
can squadron has suffered material
damage. All news thus far comes
from Spanish sources, but it seems evil
dent that Commodore Dewey has not
captured Manila. Unless he is able to
make another attack and capture the
town he will be in an awkward position,
having no base upon which to retire and
to refit. Probably, therefore, the
United States squadron will be obliged
to make for San Francisco, as the en-
trance to Manila bay was heavily mined
with torpedoes.
Reliable Details Lacking.
Reliable details cannot be had until
Commodore Dewey's squadron is able
to communicate with Hong Kong.
There is. however, a suspicious frank
ness about the Spanish dispatches that
savors of desire to break unpleasant
news to the Spaniards. 1t lis not I'M
likely, therefore, that Commodore
Dewey may be able to renew the at
tack.

RoENTGEN RAYo PROGRESS
Professor ThornpsOn'S Denomination
Before n London Society.

The Roentgen society, I few seize ntitic
body devoted TO matters relating to
Roentgen radiatioEs, was addressed at
its first meeting in London by Prof.
Silvanus Thompson, its president, who
read paper giving a resume of the
progress in the art. The English Gus
tom, that might well be followed
in America, of supplementing lectures
and papers by an exhibition Of the al
lied apparatus. was followed by this
society, the exhibition being replete
with everything pertaining to the in
visible rays. Prof. Thompson pointed
out the fact that while numerous theo-
ries had been advanced TO explain
Roentgen rays, none had received ex-
perimental demonstration, and, he said
we are as much in the dark regarding
their exact nature as at the time of
their discovery. in November. 1895. The
great advance made has been in the de-
Velopment of the rays, in the tubes for
their generation, in the controlling de-
vices and the manipulation of the cur
rent for actuatiAg the tubes. Now
photograph can bS obtained in second.
while at first an exposure of half an
hour was usual. 5One of the exhibits IL
Illustrating this advance was n full-sized
human figure. five feet four inches
high, taken with single exposure of
few minutes. 1t rebounds TO the credit
of American workers that this scia-
graph was made by DR.. Morton, OF New
York city. Another important advance
that has been made is IN TIE photo
graphing Of the soft tissues of the
body, though there is still room for i'm
Provemeut in this direction, the def
milton not being nearly so sharp as in
f1e case of the bones. There were also
shown numerous sciagraphs of hands.
