Now Lei II Drop.

From the first it has been known by
those in a position to know, and felt
by thinking people all over the coun-
try that the booming of Dewey for
the presidency was most distasteful to
the hero of Manila. 1t was utterly
ridiculous to think for moment that
he would accept a Democratic nominal
ton, and there was every reason to
President Mckinley for Republican
nomination. 1t has been known that
his inclnations We're all Republican,
and that he is heartily in accord with
the policies and principles of the pres
ent administration.
Nevertheless some papers, prOmi-
nently the New York World, have
persistently tried to boom themselves
by booming Admiral Dewey for the
buzzing of the yellow pests become to
him that he has been forced to dignity
it by noticing it, and he sent the
World this statement which it pub
lished with ill-concealed chagrin in its
Sunday issue.
Il would not under any circumstances
consent to be a candidate for the presi.
dency. and | should consider it an act of
friendship if the press would treat this
decision as sincere and final. | wish they
would now drop the matter. | feel that
any further booming Of my name Tor the
presidency tends to make me ridiculous.
This ought to settle the matter once
for all. If Admiral Dewey's country
men really respect the greatness of
the man and wish to show their graft
tude for the great services he has rem
dered the nation, they will respect his
wishes. let him enjoy his wei deserved
rest, and pass in happiness and peace
the declining years of his life in the
new home prepared for him in Wash
ington. The above statement is a
we'll deserved rebuke to the yellow
journalism that disgraces New York.
Only day earlier Senator Proctor of
Vermont. had made short work of the
yarn circulated by busybodies that he
was secretly organizing a movement
to make Dewey the Republican
nominee in 1900. William Mckinley
will be the next President of the
United States, and nobody desires this
more than George Dewey. Now that
he has spoken with such emphasis and
sincerity on the matter, it is to be
hoped that the last has been heard

An Old Theory
Exploded
Food not Digested in the
Stomach.
This Organ only Prepares it for Assimi.
lation by the Intestines.

Until a few months ago the medical
profession, as well as the public at large,
have always believed that food was
digested iii the stomach; but thanks to
science, they are now enabled to follow
the whole process of digestion with their
own eyes from the moment food enters
the mouth until it is taken into the sys-
tenn, or carried off through the bowels.
Heretofore all remedies for the cure of
dyspepsia have been given with the idea
OF assisting the stomach to digest food,
and the discovery that this organ does
not digest it at all explains the cause of
their failure to cure the disease, and its
constant increase in spite of the thou
sand and one remedies used. Another
and equally important discovery was
also made; that there are three distinct
kinds of dyspepsia, two of which require
different remedies, and the remedy for
one must be exactly opposite to that
of the other in character. For in
stance, acid dyspepsia requires an alka.
line treatment; indigestion an acid
treatment these combined and given
i'll one dose neutralize each other. con-
sequently, cannot be given together with
effect. The third and most dangerous
of all, intestinal dyspepsia) requires a
gerrnicide which must be harmless, and
yet strong enough to destroy the bacilli
which cause the disease Understand
ing this and knowing that they possess
the only germicide which can be taken
internally without injury, Hyomei)
the r. T. Booth Company have placed
on the market a dyspepsia cure. and
the only one made which treats every
phase of the disease separately. That
It has been success is shown by the fact
that they guarantee it some
thing never done before, and
agree TO return the money if cure is
not effected.

The Election OF Mr.. Allen,

The expected happened in the First
Maine district, yesterday, when the
voters went to the polls and rolled up
rousing majority for Hon. Amos AL
len of Alfred, the Republican nominee
to succeed Mr.. Reed in Congress.
Considering the fact that no extended
or vigorous campaign had been waged,
the vote at the special election was
heavy and the majority large This is
not only personal compliment to Mr..
Allen. and an expression of the high
esteem in which his fellow citizens
hold him, but it also gives the crafty
ing assurance that the Republicans of
Cumberland and York are alive to the
political issues of the day and en-
thusiastic and united in their support
of the national administration. The
platform and the candidate were fair
and square in their support of the adj
ministration, and this was the chief
issue involved in the election.
Not only Mr.. Allen, but the old First
District is to be congratulated. 1t will
be well represented at Washington.
His long experience in Washington
makes Mr. Allen infinitely better fitted
to enter upon his new duties than
most men when they go to Congress
for the first time. 1t is much to be
regretted that MIR. Reed felt obliged to
resign his seat in Congress. No man
can fill his place. But no better choice
of Il successor than Mr.. Allen could
have been made, and he will have the
full confidence OF his constituents and
of the whole State

CURIOUS cucKoos.

The cuckoo is generally known only
as bird with very monotonous note !:
a continuous cry of "cuckoo, cuckoo :"
over and over again. Among naturalists,
however, the cuckoo is known as bird
that never builds nest for itself, but
takes advantage of one already built by
some more industrious bird.
There is a good deal of the cuckoo
about these advertisers who, instead of
making a success of their own, seek to
profit by the success which some one
else has made with much effort and
labor. 1t is SO with those limitations of
DIR. Pierce's methods, by which free
medical advice is offered, although those
who make the offer are without qualified
medical ability or experience. And the
cry raised III some cases of woman,
woman, woman write to woman " makes
the resemblance to the cuckoo even
stronger.
There is as far as known no qualified
woman physician connected with any
proprietary medicine establishment, and
none therefore competent to give medi-
cal advice. 1t is certain that there is no
one, man or woman, who can offer free
medical advice backed by such knowl-
edge and experience as is possessed by
DR.. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting ply
stefan to the Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo,
N. Y. For over thirty years DR.. Pierce
has made speciality of the treatment
of diseases peculiar to women. In that
time he has treated over half-a-million
women, ninety-eight per cent. of whom
have been perfectly cured. Every sick
woman is invited to consult Dr. Pierce
by letter absolutely without charge or
cost. Every letter is held as strictly pri-
vate and sacredly confidential, and all
answers are mailed securely sealed in
perfectly plain envelopes bearing no
printing whatever upon them.
