SINKING SPELLS
Mrs. W. 7. Clark, Of Rome, N. Y,
Tells how She Was Cured.

Indigestion and stomach trouble have
many results that are not always
readily traced to their real cause.
Sometimes the kidneys are apparently
affected but more often an irregularlty
of the hearts action produces q far
more alarming symptom. The cause
ia easily explained and is removed when
the stomach trouble is cured. A case
in point is that of Mrs. w. 7. Clark, Of
31S West Thomas street, Rome, N. \.
She says:
"To begin with, I had gastritis,
which brought on sinking spells Tor
about an hour every morning. IL was
very weak and nervous and finally was
compelled to take to my bed. My i'll
ness began in the spring of 1897 and
continued for about four months.
I suffered greatly from the stomach
trouble and nervousness, but what al
armed me most was the sinking feel
ing at the heart.
II had read about DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People and when some OF
nv friends recommended the pills very
highly decided to give them trial. l
bought one box and by the time this
was used up the sinking spells had
ceased. | felt better but continued
taking the pills until / had used twelve
boxes, still keep the pills in the
house for l believe that they are a
splendid medicine"

THE REFoRMER BRA1rLEBoRo SEPTEMBER TO- 1901
ECUADOR AT WAR WITH COLOMBIA.

Puts weIi.Equipped Army in the Field
and Orders a Fleet Of WarshIps Up the
PaciAc Coast. Taking Sides With Vens-
zusia-COlOmbiR Accepts Our Mediation
Offer.
Ecuador has taken the field against
Columbia with we'll equipped army
and has sent fleet uf warsh ips up the
Pacific coast This news was cablei
Saturday from an authoritative source
at Call, near the Colombian frontier.
Venezuela is on the eve of declaring
war against Colombia, If indeed sha
has rot already done so. 1t only
remains for Nicaragua to follow suit
in order TO completely fulfil Gen
Tribe Uribe's prediction that Venez.
uela, Ecuador and Nicaragua would
make common cause against Colon bia
in an effort to reorganize the four
republics into one as OF old.
1t is understood, of course, that it
is the same cid fight Of Liberals
against Conservatives, the govern.
! ment party in one country being the
rebels in another. 1t happens that
now the Conservatives are in cnntrol
Of only one country of the four in
Colombia which accounts for the
triple alliance against her
| Or Silva, the Colombian minister
to the United States, has sent to the
state department formal written
acceptance in behslf of Colombia of
the American proposition to mediate.
The letter is dated Aug u, three
days after Secretary Hays offer.
But President Castro absolutely
refuses to entertain the idea of
accepting the good offices of the
United States
1t is understood that the United
States legation will make no further
attempt to effect settlement of the
trouble.
! Colombia's financial straits are
extreu and she is pushed to the last
point to obtain funds.
This financial distress, coupled
with the extent of the revolution,
which monthly becomes more threat
eniug, constitutes the strongest reason
Why Colombia cannot go to war with
Venezuela with any hope of success.
\ decree dated Bogota, July Is, prsc-
ticaly disrupts the country and
deprives the Bogota government OF the
mower OF national action in the various
departments of which it is supposed
to take a responsible part.
The government today owes the
1900 troops on the isthmus sGi, O0C
back pay.
The navy department has ordered
the gupboat MachIas, now at Colon,
to Baoca del Iorr,, to look after
American interests in that quarter,
should it appesr that any such are
in need Of protection.
The battleship Iowa has arrived al
Panama. The gunboat Ranger, now 81
that place, has been ordered back tt

Deserving Of Praise.

Too much praise cannot be given to the railroad boys who rendered such valuable assistance at the fire last Fri day night. Yardmaster J. fl. Godfrey, Night Yardmaster Mcdonald and his crew and Kid O'Lear, engineer of the switch engine, were all at the depot waiting for No. 10 when the first alarm of fire was given, and they were the first to reach the burning building. But fer their prompt and efficient as sistance and that of the switch engine the adjoining house would surely have been destroyed-in fact there is no tell ing where the fire might have ended.
