MEDICINAL.
FAIR EXCHANGE
A new back for an old one
--how it Is done in
Alexandria.

The back aches at times with dull inde-
scribable feeling making you weary and rest
less; piercing pains shoot across the region
of the kidneys, and again the loins are so
lame to stoop is agony. No use to rub or
apply plaster to the back in this condition.
You cannot reach the cause. Exchange the
bad back for new and stronger one. Fol-
low the example of this Alexandria citizen.
Frederick Klaus, baker, Of Sl2 Queen st.,
says: "My son complained Of backache and
lameness over his hips for some time. Ere
quently he was unable to sit down or straight

annoying. He learned about Doan's Kidney

allayed the last attack until it disappeared.

ALEXANDRIA is now experiencing as

those whose duty it is to look after the
health Of the city cannot be too careful
in the performance of such duty. The
streets, alleys and cutters should be

cut down. and removed and lime and dis
infectants used wherever necessary.
Special attention should be given to the
sewers and sinks throughout the city,
for in these lurk diseases of all kinds,
and an ounce of preventive is worth a
pound of cure. Citizens, too, should
be careful in their habits and diet. They
should keep out of the sun as much as
possible; wear light clothing; abstain IN
n great measure from alcoholic drinks;
eat light and wholesome food and avoid
worry. With these precautions peo-
pile may manage to keep we'll despite the

Vienna, July 10. Three anti-Semite
Russians have been arrested at Cracow
for distributing poisoned bonbons to
Jewish children. When the men were
arrested it was with great difficulty
that the officers could defend their
prisoners from the Infatuated Jews, who
swarmed about them muttering threats
of dire vengeance and endeayoring to
secure the three men and lynch them.
1t has transpired that the work Of the
three was part of widespread con.

the candy, are i'll, while some are dead.

As Is stated elsewhere in the Gazette,
the increasing disorders of the past few
days have caused Governor Montague to
decide not to withdraw any more troops
from Richmond for the present These
disorders have consisted mainly of throw
ing stones at cars and blocking the tracks
of the Passenger and Power Company. II
was supposed several days ago that the
disorders incident to the late strike were
about at an end and that the Alexandra
Light Infantry would soon be home
Their absence is occasioning inconyen'

to dispense with their services during the
