mum by the practical ex-
perience of DIR. Pierce. OF
the hundreds of thousands
of women who have ap-
pealed to DR.. Pierce for
counsel in connection with
his rFavorite Prescrip-
ton" only two in every
hundred have failed of a
perfect and permanent
cure. But even this two
per cent. of incurables
have gratefully recorded a
great improvement in their
condition; relief from pain
and a restoration to family
enjoynleuts.
No sick woman should
be discouraged by her con-
dition, no matter how long
standing her ailnient may
be, or how utterly all other
means and medicines have
failed to cure. The great
er number of cures effect
ed by "Favorite Prescrip-
ton" are cures of chronic
and complicated diseases
which have baHed the
skill of local physicians
and proved intractable to
all other treatment

People Are Destitute.

New York, March 12.-Accompanying
the report of Brigadier General Davis.
governor general of Porto Rico. in re-
gard to the situation in the island, is
report made by Captain H. s. Bishop of
the Fifth cavalry, stationed at Manatee,
in which he makes a strong appeal for
food. Captain Bishop states that the
pressure for relief supplies is greater to-
day than it was before the hurricane.
The sugar industry will give employ
ment to only a few, leaving the balance
of the poor class without any occupation
or means of support. In some sections
they are beginning to raise sweet pota-
toes but in the center OF the lSlanu, OF
the coffee district, there is nothing !or
the poor to eat. Bananas ana plantalhs
will not be ready for from two to four
months. If the rations are not cohtln-
ued, Captain Bishop states. there Is al
most certain to be an outbreak OF law
lessness and an increase of illness ana
the death rate He says he had hoped
TO reduce the rations but reports from
all sections of the district Indicate IN
creased destitution.
General Davis states that such OF the
coffee growers that could have cleared
I'M the weeds from the fields and haNlns
nothing to pay their hands. have laid
them off. The hands, with their faml-
lies, are drifting into towns demanding
food. General Davis asks for a second
shipment of 500 tons of rice. codtlsh ana
bacon, in usual proportions, to follow the
EGO tons to go on March Is.

come from Bloemfontein or the Orange

The opposition met at Driefontein
was somewhat unexpected, the idea be-
ing that if there were any resistance
it would be at Petrusberg. Prof1ting
by their experience the Beers were pre-
pared for a British flanking movement,
but in extending their position in order
to avoid being outfianked they probably
weakened their center, thus making 1t
possible for the British infantry to car
ry this with bayonet charge.
Lord Roberts dignified protest against
the abuse of the white flag is regarded
as the most important fact of the situ-
alton. According to the accounts sup
piled by the correspondents the in
stance appears to have been most fla
grant and there is no doubt that Lord
Roberts will carry his threat into exc
cution. The dispatch from Durham as
to the engagement near Pomeroy seems
to explain the Boer accounts of skir-
mishing in the Helpmaaker district, and
although Colonel Methuen's force num-
bered only a few hundred the news
shows that the Beers are in consider
able number on the Biggarsberg.
There is no confirmation of the ru-
mors Of the raising Of the siege OF
