able cures. DR.. Lord does not come to US
a perfect stranger, as we have read many

the patient is perfectly willing. The doc

years and cures where the so-called doctor
fails. His specialties are long standing
and lingering diseases, such as Dyspepsia,
Catarrh, Liver and Kidney Trouble, Asth-
ma, Rheumatism, Ulcers and Old Sores,
Bronchitis, Ovarian Difficulties, Female
Weakness, Irregular Menses, Leucorrhea,
Seminal Weakness, Impotency, Syphilitic
diseases and in fact any and all forms Of
chronic diseases.
He uses no mineral or poisonous drugs,
purely Vegetable Remedies gathered from
natures garden. The doctor is a regular
graduate physician and stands high in his
profession. He tells diseases at sight-no
long list of questions asked, and if curable
he will cure you; unlike some OF his medl-
cal brethren, he does not want your money
unless he can benefit or cure you.
He deals uprightly and honorably with
all; in him the unfortunate sufferer finds
a sympathizing friend. While there is life

The Catholic Church in Cuba.

In newspaper. interview Cardinal Glib
bons is reported as stating that the govern
ment of the church had been under discus
sion for some time among the leading
Catholic prelates of the country. The
changed condition Of the Catholic church
in Cuba and Porto Rice, for man established
church supported by the government to q
free one depending on the contributions OF
the people, would compel radical change
in the entire system Of administration. The
separation of church and state left the
Catholic church embarrassed financially un-
til the people could be taught to contribute
to its support, or until it could recover
some of the money borrowed from it by the
governor-general of Cuba.
Formerly the Spanish government paid
the salaries of the clergy, sthe Bishop OF
Havana alone receiving the same salary
given the captain-general OF Cuba. This
aid has long since ceased, and the church,
even though possessing much valuable
property, the gifts Of the state and the be-
quests Of private individuals, now feels the
need Of ready money greatly. Its needs
are aggravated by the fact that during the
Cuban war the Spaniards turned to the
Catholic church for financial aid and turned
large part of the church revenues from
its lands and other interests into the public
purse. The church loaned the Spanish
Crown many millions, none Of which has
been repaid.
Cardinal Gibbons said that conference
would be held between the representatives
of the United States, Spain, and the Cath
olic church to settle the matter OF this debt
He personally thought it was SPANS debt
as it was made by Spain, and that ths
Catholic church ought to look to that powe'
for reimbursement.

crisis in its history it is racked by internal
dissension and what is known as the Roman
faction is gaining ground slowly but surely.
The London correspondent OF the Boston
Herald is authority for the following: :,
In England today the reformation has
become an unimportant historic incident.
To justify these strong words may cite
few facts. In England and Wales, in sle
church Of England's established places Of
worship, during 1897 no fewer than 5lo5
masses were offered to get souls out OF p'sr-
gatory. In one church, that in Brighton,
last year, 1O,OOO confessions were heard.
Some 1900 clergy men are members Of
the confraternity of the blessed sacrament,
which exists to propagate. the sacrifice Of
the mass and the doctrine of transubstan-
tiation.
A book called "The Lesser Hours OF
the Sarum Breviary," used in many Of the
theological colleges, contains Latin htany
giving precedence to the pope, with the
bishop and abbots placed over the queen.
Another book called "The Parish Priest Of
the Town." written by one bishop and REQ
commended by seven others, commends
Pusey's work called ga Manual for
Confessors. 8
Cardinal Vaughn of the Roman Catholic
church is reported as saying Of the ritual
lists: "They are doing our work much bet
ter than we ourselves could do it. They
are sowing the seed, while we, with folded
hands, are standing by waiting to reap the
harvest" This places the situation in a
nutshell. On several occasions advances
have been made toward union between the
church of Rome and the church Of Eng
land; in every instance Rome has refused
to yield an iota. Even in this country
there is strong party in the Episcopal
church which affects to ape the practices
and beliefs Of the Roman Catholics, but
every overture on their part is repulsed by
the Catholic hierarchy with cold indiffer-
ence. Conservative people oD both sides
of the Atlantic are wondering if this faction
will ever discover that it is far better for
the peace of the church that they 60 over
to the Roman church than
to remain in the Episcopal church and
strive for an impossible. union.
