"when ave pears old my little boy had
scrofuls ON his face. hands and arms. Il
was worst on his chin, Though the sores
ON his checks and hands were very bad.
IL appeared In tho form OF red pimpic.

and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
Intense itching and the little sufferer had
TO DO watched continually TO keep him
nom scratching the sorcs. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. NV
wtfs's mother had had scrofuls and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods sarsaparilla. We decided to give
IL TO our boy and We noted an improve
ment In his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods sarsapsrilla
the humor had all been driven out of his

REMOVED HIS STOMACH.
JAMES AUSTIN A RIVAL OF
MRS. ANNA lands.
Drs. Root, McKenna and Denison
Take Away the Larger Part of
This organ-Austin Doing Well
and Will Recover All Right.

Anna Lands, the Swiss woman who
achieved notoriety by having her stomach
removed. and continuing to live right
along, digesting food and gaining flesh,
has a rival in this city in the person of
James Austin, the we'll known cement
man, who recently emerged from the
hospital of the Holy Cross, where ne
was operated on for concerouS growth
in the stomach, which resulted in the re-
moVal of two thirds of that organ, the
removal of the pylorus and the unlflca-
ton of the intestines with the aboreVi-
ated digestive apparatus.
Jim has been SICK Tor some time OIul-
narily he was a healthy man and was a
jolly good fellow. Two years ago, ne De-
gan to be i'll and lost a great Deal or the
good nature which marked nm among
mis- fellow men. tie kept going on from
bad TO worse. until finally, consulting his
physicians they told him what allied MIN ;
that he had a cancerous growth IN the
stomach a--o that ne would be with the
angels soon unless the same was taken
away. and perhaps the operation might
kill him. .
Austin Inquired if he had a chance if
the operation was a SUCCESSFUL one .r anu
received the reply that he mad linen
cut away" he sententiously replied, L
am ready for you this minute
But they gave Jim chance TO settle
his earthly affairs, get his little business
interests in condition and then they TOOK
him TO the hospital, where Drs. Root.
McKenna and Denison performed the
operation.
The operation involved the same
course OF procedure as that used IN the
case of Anna Lands, the incision being
made in the median line, extending from
the ensiform process TO the umDlllcus-
Gastro-enterostomy is the sclentlnc
name applied to what they did AFTER
wards, but sufficient for the layman is
the statement that a portion Oh the
stomach the larger portion in fact, was
removed and about three inches OF the
intestine below the pylorus. The organ
was then joined to the bowel with SIX
Sutures and a neat job 1t was. ne
hemorrhage was not as great as WouIo
be supposed, but naturally the patlent
An enema of brandy and eggs was ad-
ministered some Tune after and this was
followed at intervals by others and after
the first effects of the operation had worn
off. the patient began to get better ana
with slight intervals of illness from ul-
verse causes, principally reaction, ne is
now in fair way to become strong ana
hearty again and in a short time he may
be expected down town again. enlivenlng
all who meet him with his quaint ana
jovial conversation. --
Austin mas many friends in the city
who viii be glad TO hear that the physl-
clans were successful in their work OF
course his stomach has not the capacity
it had before but he believes by eating
oftener than he used to he will be able
to put on flesh and once again assume the
he had in the past He IS
looking thin at present, but with good
care hopes to be around again soon.

among the natives nearly bordering on
starvation. AT Arceibo flour was SELL
ing at $40 q barrel, salt fish at 80 cents
per pound and other provisions at a
price SO high that none but the wealthy
could get them. Captain Mckenna
said that while he was at Arceibo he
fed on an average of so persons per day.
Several American and British news
papers reached Captain McKenna while
he lay at Arceibo, and he says that the
natives actually fought to get posses
sion of them, SO eager were they to
learn Of the progress of the war. All
classes are praying for a speedy settle
ment of hostilities and the majority
express sympathy with the United
States, whose efforts they believe will
result in bringing them relief from the
ir1some rule of Spain.

winds of the previous week failed, to
reappear, and the weather has been
favorable for farm work.
Constant warm and dry weather OF
the past two weeks has FASTENED the
harvest, causing all grain to turn color
and mature. AS a consequence, the
harvest of grain on dry land farms has
become quite general. Fall sown wheat
and rye are being harvested on low
lands Correspondents comment on the
well-filled heads of grain and the
prospect of yields exceeding the aver
age Considering that the weather con-
ditions have been exceptionally favor
able, their hopes should be realized
In some sections, smut has been OBJ
served in the fall grain, which is likely
caused by its rankness of growth. With
few exceptions. the first crop of lucern
is safely harvested in good condition,
and the second crop is ready for har-
vest in some sections. Sugar beets
continue to grow in a most pleasing
manner, being assisted by irrigation
where the same is possible. Small
fruits, with the exception of strawber-
ries, are plentiful. Large fruits are
growing well, giving promise of a SUI
perior quality, though in quantity the
average will not be reached.
