Many OF the most noted physicians and
surgeons OF this country and OF Europe
take the ground that vivisection has not
only been useless 10 the healing art, but
also most prejudicial 10 u. The differ

effects of toxic subs ances between man

lives have been and are being sacrificed.
The minds OF researchers are so Who'll
ly fixed on vivisection that they neglect
the study OF sanitation, and Will not give
their attention TO the new discoveries
outside OF physical research.

PRIVILEGES TO PRISONERS,
May Communicate with Friends and
Relatives

WASHINGTON, D. c., July R.-The
Secretary OF the Navy has generously
accorded the Spanish officers who were
brought as prisoners on the st. Louis,
and are now at Portsmouth, the privilege
OF communicating freely with their
friends and families in Spain by cable,
under proper precautions, TO prevent
the sending of any information touching
the progress OF the war. In consequence
the navigation office has been fairly
flooded with the number OF cablegrams
submitted for inspection before dispatch.
The navy IS also freely furnishing such
information as # possesses as to the
safety or condition of the Spanish lpris-
oners In answer to appeals from their
friends at home
Nearly all the Spanish officers are with
ont money and are also in straits as to
the matter of clothing. Secretary Long
has arranged TO allow a certain sum 10
them each day IN accordance with the
courteous but not always observed, Gus

sons has recently been at the recruiting
station New York. With him will be four
other surgeons. besides the two Spanish
surgeons. They will afford exactly the
same surgical care to the Spanish wound
ed as that given to the American sailors.
The hospital there will afford accommo-
dations for sixty men, although there
are but forty-three Spanish wounded in
the first party. Or. Van Reypen has ar

that such a brave deed as bringing out
his squadron could never be looked upon
otherwise than as most gallant feat
upon which Admiral Cervera threw hts
arms around the Commodore and said;
"Ah, sailors always are gentlemen
lie then said he thought his dead would
number probably 80. though he could not
tell definitely He spoke OF the aocu-
racy and deadliness Of the Brooklyn :
fire saying that In the early part OF tho
action one Of her shells had traversed the
entire length Of the gun deck, killing ard
wounding probably eighty men. On the

Then Admiral Cervers said he feared
the losses might be greater than he an

All his captains had been killed or wound

The pains of rheumatism should be
reminded that cure for this disease
may be found in Hoods Sarsaparilla.
The experience of those who have
taken Hoods Sarsaparilla for rheuma-
tism, and have been completely and
permanently cured, prove the power
of this medicine to rout and conquer
this disease. Hoods Sarsaparilla is
the One True Blood Purifier and it
neutralizes the acid which causes the
aches and pains of rheumatism. This
is why it absolutely cures when lini-
ments and other outward applications
fail to give permanent relief. Be sure
to get Hoods.
