Story ola Slave.

To be bound hand and loot for years
by the chains of disease is the wor
form of slavery. George D. Williams,
of Manchester, Mich, tells how such 8
slave was made free. He says: my
wife has been so helpless for FIVE years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of Eiec-
trio Bitters, she is wonderfully i'm
proved and able to do her own work. u
This supreme remedy for female dis
eases quickly cures nervousness, sleep
lessness, melancholy, headache, back
ache, fainting and dizzy spells. This
miracle working machine is godsend
to weak, sickly, run down people

A NEMESIS AT HIS PULPIT.

At the Bark street Christian Union
Church, il Chillicothe, Ohio, Sun
day night, Rev. Charles o'Shay
| was openly denounced while in the
pulpit as fraud and adulterer. The
church was crowded. O'Shay spoke
briefly OF the hardships of a Christian
| life and said he expected to be arrested
before the meeting was over and want
ed everybody to stand by him.
Elder Samuel Whaley arose and,
pointing his finger at O'Shay, de-
nouuced him as an adulterer and q
! fraud, and demanded his resignation.
O'Shay stsmmered out: "What is the
reason for all this ?''
'Oh, here comes our reason" said
Wbaley, and q yelled woman was es-
corted to the front of the pulpit where
she threw back her veil, disclosing the
features of young muatto, who an
nounced that she was O'Shay's wife.
She produced marriage license as
proof.
O'Shay said: Friends, 1 acknowl-
edge this woman as my wife, but can
see no CRIME IN Guat. 1Hcu luIulnH
to the woman, be said: Minnie, what
brings you here?"
81 come to denounce you for i'm
proper intimacy with other women Of
this congregation.
Samuel Whaley and Marion Barnett
also charged O'Shay with adultery,
and Charles Summers made the an
nouncement that O'Shay had broken
up his home. The names of other
women were mentioned.
O'Shay demanded an immediate
church trial, which was granted, and
the witnesses were examined immedi-
ately, the result being that O'Shay was
ordered to resign. He refused, but po
lice officers came in and advised him 10
resign or go to the lookup. O'Shay
then resigned.
The mulatto wife says they were
married in Circleville, Ohio, May II
1898. O'Shay failed to support heI
and she was compelled TO open bar

THE USE OF NARCOTICS.

On the lst day OF this month, sun
day, there went into force in England
an act of Parliament which deals with
habitusl drunkenness as species OF
lunacy, or disease, which must be dealt
with by the State as such. This view
is taken for the safety OF society and
the care OF the patient. DR.. Norman
Kerr contends, in his book on inebriety
aud narcomonia, that people may take
little or no liquor and yet be inebriates.
Slaves of such narcotics as chloral, NOR
phine, chlorodyne, sulphoral and 9TH
ers, are equally dangerous. The law
should go iurther and prohibit the use
indiscriminately of such narcotics by
physicians in their practice. 1t is too
common, when 10 relieve acute pain,
morphine is injected into patients, hav-
ing the effect while momentsrily abat-
lug pain, of disturbing, If not deranging
the whole nervous system and effect
ing the mental balance of the subject OF
such treatment. Not only this, bu'
there is danger OF creating an uncon-
trolable appetite for the drug and
wrecking the moral, mental and physi-
Cal being. Such practice is crime
against humanity and the State and
should be dealt with heroi-
cajly by the State. 1t is stated
bv DR.. Kerr that ladies are
frtquently the victims OF the morphine
habit brought about by the prescription
or treatment of the attending physician
aud become mental wrecks with will
power destroyed and moral perceptions
weakened if not ruined.
DR.. Sagrado's remedy for the ills to
which flesh is heir was the lancet
bleed, bleed. Half century ago he
had many literal disciples in the field,
and the principal surgical instruments
carried by the country practitioner
were lancet to draw blood for all
complaints, and something like cav
hammer wrapped with the end OF a
silk handkerchief, with which to wrench
out an aching tooth. Morphine is al
most as antiquated and infinitely more
dangerous. A physician who habituaI-
ly prescribes and administers it should
not be called into family, for the use
of this drug has b lighted many lives
and brought shame and misery into
many household.

La Grippe Successfully Treated.

II have just recovered from the Sc.
cond attack of la grippe this year."
seys Mr. Jas. A. Jones, publisher of the
Leader, Mexia, Texas. IN the latter
case l used Chamberlain Cough
Remedy, and I think with considerable
success, only being in bed little over
two days against en- days for the form
er attack. The second attack I am
satisfied would have been equally as
bad as the first but for the use of this
remedy as I had to go to bed in about
six hours after being Struck with it.,

Nothing is overlooked save one thing, and

Will Merritt Succeed Otis.

An. army officer very friendly to Gen.
Otis is quoted in the New York Times as
saying, otis is an excellent officer but
he is not the sort of an officer that Mer-
rift is. Given all authority and instruc-
lions to suppress the insurgent forces in
the PHILIPPINES, Merritt would demand
men enough to do the work, and would
let nothing whatever come between him
and his ideas of duty. In that respect
Merritt is as cold blooded as steel. He
trifle or let up. Merritt took Otis out
with him, knowing him we'll, and he in
tended that he should do the sort of
work that a subordinate of high rank
should perform, The trouble with Otis
is that, being, good man for details, he
has tried to do too many small things,
losing sight, while engrossed in MINOR
matters of administration, of the more
Important affairs going on at the firing
line. 1t would not surprise army officers
to learn, before the fall campaign, opens
in Luzon, that Gen. Merritt was to re-
sumo command at Manila.
