Life Saved by Swamp-ROOt.
The Great Discovery That Cures KID
ney and BLADDER Troubles.


Statistics prove that more people are
brought to the grave by diseases Of the
kidneys and bladder than by any other
disease.
For many years medical science has
been trying to discover some remedy
that would positively overcome these
dangerous troubles.
But not until recently was the discov-
cry made. Doctor Kilmer, the eminent
physician and scientist, after years of
study and research, and after test on
test that never varied in the grand re-
suit announced the discovery Of Swamp
Root, which has proven itself most
wonderful cure for all diseases of tho
kidneys and bladder.
While Swamp-Root has proven such
remarkable successin curing kidney and
bladder diseases, it has also proved
equally invaluable in the cure Of blood
diseases, rheumatism, liver and stomach
troubles and in the regulation and cure
of all uric acid troubles.
Swamp-Root has been tested in so
many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to
purchase relief, and has proved so sue
cessful in every case, that special ar
rangement has been made by which all
readers of this paper, who have not al
ready tried it, may have sample bottle
sent absolutely free by mail. Also a
book telling more about Swamp Root
and containing some Of the thousands
upon thousands of Testimonial lettersre-
ceived from men and women who owe
their good health, in fact, their very
lives, to the wonderful curative prop
critics of Swamp-Root. Besureand mem

This great modern discovery is for
sale at most drug-stores in fifty-cent
and one-dollar sizes.

Santiago, Cuba, April 17.-Gen.
Brooke's order abolishing import duties
for municipal benefit and licenses will
decrease the municipal revenues so per
cent. Its effect will be the closing of
the public schools and the stopping of
all public improvements. This is the
prediction of the local press, which de-
nounces the order as a "return to the
Spanish system" and claims that
the methods Of taxation substituted by
Gen. Brooke open the way to easy
evasion by the wealthy. The mayor
jof Santiago has started for Havana, to
protest against the new arrangement

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con.
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

500 in silver from the owners resi-
dence and afterwards burned the house
Of the overseer and warehouse con-
tanning $1,000 worth of tobacco. The
bandits then rode into Caimito, where
they plundered two dwellings and then
went to a third where dance was in
progress. A captain. sergeant and
two Cuban soldiers who were present
ut the dance went out of the house to
see what was the matter and other
persons crowded TO the doors and win
dows. The raiders fred a volley at
close range. killing the captain and
one soldier and one man in the house
and wounded the sergeant and another
soldier and two other men who were
also inside the building. The bandits
then gallopei away.
Detachments of the Seventh cavalry
were sent after the bandits by Gen.
Lee into the districts they have been
terrorizing. The cavalrymen have Gu
bans as guides. Four bands OF Cuban
soldiers are also out in pursuit of the
brigands. The regular cavalry detach-
ments were sent toward Mariel, Punta
Brava, Guayabal and the Toledo plan
tation. where the bandits are reported
to have appeared. These points are
within a district 25 miles square. The
outlaws have PROBABLY separated, each
going his own way, otherwise their
capture is imminent. Delgado's men

hut they were unsuccessful, owing to
the fact that the American guard had
strict orders not to let Cuban soldiers
pass in without special authority.
