every other naval factor is taken into

The Rev DR.. w. S. Ament of the
American board mission at Pekin has
furnished to the newspaper correspond
ents in the Chinese capital long in
terview embodying his Interpretation
of the acts of missionaries before and
after the siege of the legations. The
statement is virtually a brief for the
defense, so prominently has the name
of DR.. Ament appeared in the charges
of missionary responsibility for the
Boxer outbreak, missionary footing af-
ter the legations were relieved and

missionary demands for revenge upon
the guilty Boxers.
His account of affairs from the mis-
sionary's point of view is exceedingly
Interesting, and although not all of the
unpleasant charges are satisfactorily
cleared up it must be admitted that
DR.. Ament scores more than once
against his critics. He declares that
such writer's as Henry Norman, Lord
Curzon and the newspaper correspond

missionaries. The occupancy of houses
of Boxer leaders by missionaries and
the sale of looted goods he declares
was in most instances with the direct
sanction of Minister Conger Minis
ter Macdonald, and the proceeds were
used for the support of the destitute
whose homes and possessions had been
destroyed. He denies that extravagant
demands for punishment have been
made by the missionaries, and argues
that such recommendations have been
calculated to make for peace and the
future safety of all the people

A WOMAN'S HEART.
Mrs. Samuel G. Dyer Tells "a Narrowing
Suffering.

Tale OF Suffering.
M'Carron, Mich. April S.-(SpeciaI)
Mrs. Samuel G. Dyer of this place
has given the following interesting let
ter for publication:
For years suffered intense pain in
the region of the heart. I doctored
with the best physicians Some OF them
would relieve me for short time. but
the pain always returned. My heart
was so bad that 1 would have to sit up
in bed for hours, to get relief. 1 would
lie awake almost all night. 1 am 81
years of age. and no one can under
stand how much I suffered with this
Heart Trouble.
About a year ago 1 heard of Dodds
Kidney Pills, and commenced to use
them. From the first my condition
improved. The pain in my heart grad
ua1ly grew less, and my general health
much better and now L can say posi-
lively that 1 am entirely cured. l can
sleep all night. and enjoy almost per-
feet health. l thank God for the cure
that has come to me through the use
of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
II have thought long over the matter
of giving this letter for publication.
and am doing SO without any
licitation whatever, and simply be
cause I feel it to be my duty to express
the profound gratitude I feel for my
recovery, and to let others who may be
SUFFERING DIS WAS KNOW now Iney may
find cure. 1 know that nothing else
but Dodds Kidney Pills cured me. be-
cause I have taken no other medicine
for over q year. 1 feel better now
than 1 have for many years, and it is
all due to the use of Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
Mrs. Dyer's case and it's cure has at
tracted a great deal of attention. and
her letter is a splendid tribute to the
curative properties of Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
