Brisbane. Queensland, contain n
CHASTITY story of cannibalism in the
German group of the Sulu Islands.

If the information contained IN the fol-
lowing lines had been in the possession of
James II. Wallace, Of Detroit, Mich, he
would have saved more than $1,000 and
would have enjoyed five years of health
and happiness, instead Of torture.
MIR. Wallace is an expert accountant and
bookkceper, in the office Of c. A. Haber-
korn & Co, Detroit. He lives with his
family In pretty home at 240 Sixth Street.
He was marked by misfortune from his
birth, having inherited scrofula.
Still young man, MIR. Wallace seemed,
as he told his story, to have long life of
vigorous health and usefulness before him.
He tells about the remarkable incident
that led to his complete restoration as follows:
The first physician soon said had
constitutional blood disorder, and by con-
slant treatment and diet it might be cured
BLOOD purifiers and spring medicines
made the eruptions more aggressive and
painful. In 1883 was fearful looking
sight; IN fact, repulsive.
Large ulcers on my limbs discharged
continuously.
II tried everything; took medical baths;
went to Medicine Lake, Washington; spent
over $1,000 for medicine and medical ser
vice-an wasted money, time and energy.
My recovery seems like a miracle to
me. Its beginning seems like romance.
II was as follows:
"One day IN the fail read a newspaper
article about cure effected by Dr.. Vii
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1898-07-21

hat afternoon while moving some
books | broke an ulcer on my leg and
nearly tainted.
The pain made me sick. / stopped
work and dropped into chair.
Then / again saw that newspaper arti-
Gle. The paper was lying on the floor, the
article exposed as though forcing me to take
warning.
Il read II through again carefully and
decided to give the pills fair trial. The
cure described in the paper was like my
own case.
Il sent for box Of the pills at once and
took some that afternoon.
From that day began to mend.
when one box was finished my friends
remarked upon my improved looks.
Eight boxes cured me completely
there was not sore left on my BODY"
Mr.. Wallace made affidavit to the truth
Of his story before Robert E. Hull, Jr., q
Notary Public.

unequalled power of DR.. Williams Pink

Washington, July 1s.-It is probable
that Gen. Shafter will act as censor
Of Blanco's dispatches to the Spanish
government in tie future. Shafter is
in possession of the cable Office in San
tiago through which all of Blan-
cos dispatches have passed. Blanco
is cut off from communication with
the outside world and win be unable
to send advices to his government un-
less he is willing to submit his dis
patches to Gen. Shafter for approval.
Blanco had full swing as long as San
tiago was in possession of Toral, and,
Judging from his reports to Madrid, he
achieved many sreat journalistic tri-
umphs.
