London, March 26.-The death of
Cecil Rhodes came as no great sur

of public feeling in England toward
him, there is no doubt he was almost
completely broken down within the

A GOOD RECOMMENDATION.

"I have noticed that the sale on
Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tab
lets is almost invariably to those who
have once used them," says Mr.. J. H.
Weber, prominent druggist of Cas-
cade Iowa. What better recommen-
dation could any medicine have than
for people to call for it when again in
need Of such remedy? Try them
when you feel dull after eating, when
you have bad taste in your mouth,
feel bilious, have no appetite or when
troubled with constipation, and you
are certain to be delighted with the
prompt relief which they afford. For
