SWH Vhr"hsN ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I'm lilAfi
You will never find our Doc
tor out. He is here to give
advice without charge to those
who need him to those who
don't, sometimes. He doesn't
always recommend the Aver
medicines, because the Aver
medicines are not "cure-alls."
Perhaps if we tear a leaf
from his correspondence it will
show you what we mean. Here
is a letter which came last
March.
DEAR DIR. AVER.
l want your advice for my lit,ls boy.
He is getting very thin. He has no appe-
tite. He is fifteen years old. When he
was four years old he had lung fever, but
his health was good until two years ago.
Since then he is failing fast. The doctors
here say he has the bronchitis He spits
all the time awful bad. The spits are big
thick, and white. Yours truly,
Mrs. MARGARET MURPHY,
March 30, 1900. Kinbrae, Mimi"
And this is the way the Doc
tor answered Mrs. Murphy:
"DEAR MADAM:
ave enclose our book on The Throat
and Lungs, in which We trust you will find
just the information you desire.
"You should begin at once the use of
this Cherry Pectoral for your son, giving
it in moderate doses. Then procure some
good preparation of cod-liver oil, as
Scott's Emulsion, and give him that, as
well. Pay particular attention to his diet,
giving him such nourishing foods as rare
steak, lamb chops, good milk, eggs, ETC.
Above all, keep him out of doors all that
the weather permits There is nothing
that will do him more good than plenty of
fresh air Let him live out of doors all
that is possible. By carrying out these
general suggestions we shall hope to hear
soon that your son is improving In every
way. Very truly yours,
April 5, 1900. J. c. AVER"
You see, it wasn't only the
Aver medicines that we.recom-
mended. The first idea of the
Doctor was to cure that boy.
The result is told in this letter {:
"DEAR DR.. AVER;
my little boy bas improved so much
since I received yodr advice that want to
write and tell you how thankful l am.
"When l first wrote you, on March
90, he only weighed 90 pounds, but now
he weighs s, pounds; and all this gain
since the Sth of April, when first began
to follow your directions.
"Please let me thank you again for what
you have done for my boy.
July II, 1900, MARGARET MURrHY."
Perhaps it was the cod
liver oil; perhaps it was the
Cherry Pectoral. Probably il
was both. But, more than
either, it was the good, sound
advice the Doctor gave in the
first place. We are here tc
serve you in just the same way
and we will tell you the medi-
cine for your case or tell you
what medicines to avoid.
Five out of ten of our cor
respondents need a docto
rather than prepared medi
cine, and we tell them so. |
the doctors only knew it, w,
are working with them ever,

Jennie O'Neill-Brown-Pott of
Patch Grove, Wis, one of the best
known elocutionists in the United
States, lies in New York hospital
suffering with cancer, knowing that
she must die soon, but still she is
happy. Miss Potter made herself pop
ular by reciting How Salvador Won,
Flirts and Matrons, and Swinging in
the Grapevine Swing. Her greatest
desire, expressed by herself for pub
LEGATION, is to appear once more in
public, and if she can summon
strength the doctors will let her do it.
Her friend, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, to
please her, has written a monologue
in which is described the scene when
the doctors told her she must die, and
which closes with her death, and this
strange woman, looking forward to
the end, and now in the valley Of the
shadow, longs to recite it.

JUST SAVED HIM
CHICAGO DETECTIVE PREVENTS
CROOK FROM TAKING LIFE.
ARRESTED IN MADISON
Carl F. Albert, Wanted in Chicago for
Stealing Express Company's Money
Order Blanks, Caught at Capital
House Just as He Was Preparing
to Take a Dose of Laudanum.
Madison, Jan. %.

haQlSOn, Jan. 70.
The timely arrival and clever work
Of Detective Fred. G. Roempler of Chi
cago, assisted by the local police force,
perhaps saved the windy city officer
from returning this morning with the
corpse Of Carl F. Albert. Albert is
badly wanted in Chicago for stealing
20 blank orders of the American EX-
press Co. at Chicago Dec. 20, and
which he passed at various places, fill
ing them in for from $40 to $50 each.
He had given the officers long
chase under various aliases as Smith
and Brown. Six orders were passed
at Milwaukee. When Roempler ar
rived Albert was on the point Of coL.-
hitting suicide with laudanum bought
at Charles Naffz' drug store Monday
afternoon. He was arrested at the
Capital house where has has been stay
ing the past eight days, and whose
proprietor, W. H. Huppeler, was vic
timiZed to the extent of $25 by bogus
money order. Chief Baker directed
the search and officer Harry Daven-
port was with Mr.. Roempler when
Albert was taken into custody. A bot
tie of laudanum was found in his room
and he stated that had the officers ar
rived little later he would have been
taken back to Chicago dead. He also
stated that last week he attempted to
commit suicide here by taking ten
grains of morphine with half an ounce
of water but that after sleeping two
days he recovered. He was taken to
police station and this morning Mr..
Roempler will take him to Chicago.
Albert is also wanted for embeZZle-
ment in St. Louis where he is said to
have abandoned a wife ten years ago.
He is 80 years old, a druggist by pro-
fession, and comes from Milwaukee
and where he served five years in the
house of correction for embezzlement.
He wrote and purchased his own pre-
scriptions here, getting the first one at
Edwin Summers drug store. He says
the reason the morphine did not kill
him is because the prescription clerk
did not give him the full ten grains
the dose. Albert is an intelligent look
ing fellow and refuses to discuss the
matter. Among the effects found on
his person was a forged recommended
ton for services from Mr. Huppeler Of
the Capital house. The arrest is con-
sidered a clever piece of work.
Abert's method was new but had
the potency of being a very plausible
swindle. He had been employed as a
drug clerk in the outskirts of Chicago
and handled branch office business for
the American express company. When
he fled from Chicago, he took with
him book of blank express money
orders, and, for the past three weeks
had been going from town to town,
cashing a forged order with hotel
keeper at each place He was traced
from city to city by these checks I'M
til run to earth in Madison.

Imposing Baines Tobacco Building
About Ready.

Out in the tobacco district, along
East Wilson street, the latest acquisi-
ton to the leaf industry is nearing
completion. This is the imposing
warehouse, 4S by 12S feet, two stories
and basement, built by Frank Baines
of GAINESVILLE, who also operates SINH
lar plants in that city, Stoughton and
Mrrrisonville. The latter place, how
ever, he expects to abandon when the
Madison warehouse is in active SER
vice. On this the work that is being
done is confined principally to the
basement, which is being filled to the
depth of eight or ten inches with Gin
ders preparatory to laying heavy
plank floor. All the sorting will be
done in this room, as we'll as the pack
ing, the upper floors being reserved
for receiving and storing. With fav-
orable weather, Mr.. Baines expects to
begin taking in tobacco Feb. l, but
scarcely hopes to commence sorting
before the middle Of next month. Fiji
ty hands can be used to good advan-
tage, and the warehouse will start out
with that amount of help.

Interviews with athletic enthusiasts
of the university, after the receipt of
the above dispatch late Monday night,
developed that the arrangement made
by Manager Fisher will be endorsed as
the best that could have been made
under the circumstances, Wisconsin
being under obligations to play Illi-
nois as agreed in the old contract. It
was pointed out that Wisconsin Sc
cures her opportunity for revenge and
that the game will probably draw as
much for the athletic treasury as
would a Thanksgiving game. In adj
dition, the university preserves it's
honor with Illinois, which might have
been called into question had the
agreement with the sucker state men,
although not considered absolutely
binding by some judges of contracts,
been cast aside. The playing Of the
Illinois game in Madison will draw
we'll, unless Illinois fails to develop a
strong team.

London, Jan. 21-To thoroughly
and conservatively appreciate the po-
itical conditions as they exist in
England today; to understand the re-
Elections that military successes or re-
verses in south Africa create in the
minds Of the British and to gauge the
task confronting the government Mt
the forthcoming session Of parliament
1t is first necessary to realize the stu
pendous change that in the last few
weeks has taken place in national
character. To put it briefly since the
British army in field has found the
Doer army its match or more, the
British nation has become one huge
stock exchange, not in material
sense but in sentiment The nation
as whole governs its opinions by
happenings of the hour, vacillating
lions Of centuries as easily as the most
nervous market that was ever operat-
ed in times of uncertainty. Yet in
spite of this tremendous vacillation,
information tends toward the impress
sion that Lord Salisbury will continue
not only in power but that
the war against the beers
will be pursued to the bitter
end, regardless of foreign interference
and whimperings at home. Major
Gen. Sir Frederick Darlington, who
has been called for service at the
front, is most favorably known in
south Africa, where he spent almost his
whole military career as y leader Of
expeditions.
Unless Ladysmith is quickly re-
lieved the International situation

probably produce at least keen in
ternational press war.
News Of the death of G. w. Steev-
ems, special correspondent OF the Lon
don Daily Mail, from enteric fever,
Monday at Ladysmith, has been re-
ceived with genuine sorrow in London,
where he had many friends in and out
of his profession. His last work be-
fore going to the TransvaaI was The
Tragedy of Dreyfus. His long stay
in hot, unsanitary Rennes is thought
to have undermined his constitution
to such an extent that it made him
an easy prey for fever. Stevens made
a romantic marriage few years ago
with a Mrs. Rogerson, who was well
known in London society. She was
sixty years Of age and Stevens but
&c, but the marriage was very happy
They were devoted to each other. A
contract has been signed for Mr.. La
bori of the counsel for Alfred Dreyfus
during the late trial at Rennes, to
lecture for thirteen weeks in the
United States during the autumn of
the present year.

CANAL CASE IN COURT.
State of Missouri Asks for Restraining
Order Against Chicago.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-The state of
Missouri by its attorney general, E. B.
Crow, made application in the supreme
bill praying for an Injunction against
the state Of Illinois End the city OF Chi
cago to restrain them from operating
the recently opened drainage canal.
The principal ground Of the objection
raised is that the sewage from the
canal will pollute the water of the Mis-
sissippi river. The court took the mo-
ton under advisement, but did not in
dicate what action would be taken.
