CONVINCING PROOF.

Case No. 41,2o6.-Capt. Alfred g..
Rigler Of Hose Company No. 4, Can
ton, Ohio, says: 81 had weak back
ever since 1 was boy, and about SIX
wears ago the cause developed into
rather a bad case of kidney complaint.
It was not a little backache now and
then but backache which caused actual
suffering day and night, and the harder
I tried to get rid of it the worse it
became.
"When the attacks were in the acute
stage it was difficult to sit down, and
when down it was just as hard to re-
gain an erect position, on account Of
the twinges Of pain in the kidneys.
I can only describe some of the pangs
as similar to that received from a
knife thrust.
''In time, distressing and terribly in
convenient urinary weakness resulted,
causing annoying embarrassment dur
ing the day and loss of sleep during the
night.
81 took everything which came tony
notice from reading, from observa-
ton, and which my friends and &C
quaintances advised. I consulted
physicians, but none of them were
able to relieve the trouble, let alone
stop it.
cit became so well known that had
a pronounced case of kidney COM
plant that I often received circulars
from medical companies offering to
cure me, and one day eighteen letters
were handed to me by the mail car
rier.
''When Doan's Kidney Pills attracted
my attention [ wanted to try them,
just as l had tried everything else, and
Mrs. Rigler went to Durham & Wright
Co.'s drug store for box. Relief fol-
lowed. / knew after a dose or two
that the medicine was acting directly
on the kidneys from the altered con-
dition of the kidney secretions, and,
encouraged, I continued the treat
ment. Finally, the backache and
other complications stopped.
''Let me sum up my opinion about
Doan's Kidney Pills by saying, would
willingly pay one months wages for
a box of them if I could not buy them
for less. You can refer anyone to me
about Doan's Kidney Pills and I will
convince them that they act just as
represented"

ried departure of the representatives
of Germany and England is taken to be
more than a coincidence. The belief
is that both ENJOYS had advance infor-
nation regarding President Castro's
intent and decided to get out of the
way.
Explains Hurried Departure.
The going of the ENJOYS was sur
prise, for it was expected they would
wait at least long enough to give the
government a chance to reply. The
action was unusual and puzzling until
Tuesdays developments.
There are compa ratively few white
British subjects here-probably less
than so. The Caracas-La Guayra rail
road is British concern and it's gen
eral manager and other high officials
are Englishmen. There are some Eng
lish engineers on the line. Other Eng
ishmen are employed in commercial
and industrial pursuits and English
men are found among the clerical
force of commercial houses. A census
of 1894 gives 6,154 British subjects to
Venezuela. This number includes a
great many of the islanders, as we'll
as the British population in the coun-
try awarded to Great Britain.
The Germans in Caracas are much
more numerous. They are found at
the head of commercial houses and
banking institutions. The census of
1894 places the number of Germans in
Venezuela at 962.
Castro Invites War.
President Castro appears to be pro-
voking armed conflict with Great
Britain and Germany. Whether he re-
lies on the Monroe doctrine and the
Intervention of the United States
against his foes cannot be learned. 1t
is certain, however, that Venezuelan
affairs have reached a crisis. With
British and German warships thick in
the harbor of La Guayra, the port of
the capital, and with many more of the
same kind of craft not far away in the
harbors of British islands, it is not i'm
probable that guns may boom in real
war before many days have passed.
May Involve United States.
Washington, Dec. 1O.-The arrests
of the German and British subjects in
Caracas are believed here to be in the
nature of a retaliation on the part
of President Castro for the note sent
to Venezuela for settlement of the
long standing claims Of Germany and
England against her. incidentally,
such action by Venezuela will. it is be-
lieved, involve this government, as the
German and British representative
in Venezuela. before leaving Caracas.
requested United States Minister Bow
en- to take charge of the interests of
their countries in Venezuela.
Causes Surprise in London.
London, Dee. 10.-All British and
German subjects resident in Caracas
were arrested Tuesday on orders from
President Castro, according to advices
received in this city. This action on
the part of Venezuela caused great
surprise here. and is regarded as GER
tain to precipitate crisis in the al
ready strained relations between the
South American republic on the one
hand and Great Britain and Germany
on the other.
