 Two years ago one of my wiies eyes was very much infamed Different doctors were called and they called 1t GIauooma. It affected her head. That side of her face was swollen, and she had watery discharges from the eye. One doctor told her she mig II lose the other eye. In two weeks after we got the Actina she met this doctor on the street. He looked st her eye and said to her Your eye is very much better what have you been doing to it7' She said 10 him, have been using Actina. which has done what eye-drops and doctors have failed to do."
 I was troubled with Neuralgia running up the cord in the right side of my neck and through my head and producing most unpleasant senSa- tions. The Aetna has cured me.
 Two ladies, Mrs. Swan ana Mrs Josephine Churchill, purchased an Actina through my recommendation. The former was cured of pains in eyes and head. and the latter of noises iu head and pains in neck, chest and arms"
 There are hundreds of equally as grateful peo- pie as Mr. Giles, who gladly lend their testimony to this good cause.

of the dives, where the player has but to exhibit his money to lose 1t, is un- known in Fl Paso, and each professional works continually with his theoreticAl understanding of the game to earn what he considers a living.
 The gambler of the far Southwest wants nothing but his regular percentage. In faro and a few other games there 10 no regular percentage as in roulette, but the player has to do all the gueGsing and that will keep up the game to the promoters advantage, the patron miss ing 1t often enough to give the game good profit. The trade of the gamblers is derived from all classes. ranging rom millionaire miners and cattiemen to Mex ican peons and negro bootblaeks. The tributary territory embraces Southern New Mexico. West Texas. Eastern Ari- zona and the States of Chihauhau and Sonora. Mexico Tn the winter season tourists health-seekers and travellers make the games somewhat brisker Dur ing the fiesta and bullhghting season at Juarez. from December to February. about twenty-five additional games are put on across the river, El Paso men usually obtaining the concessions rom the Mexican governments and natives Of Mexico operating the playing.
 Sober, Generous Men.
 Col. Cy Ryan. who died about six months ago and known in the Southwest as the Prince of Gamblers" was type of the man who have had much to do with the prevention of crusadcs against the games, as he was orderly public spirited and progressive. His big place. the Astor House Is still running ana was utilized several years ago by FredericK Remington fin one of his frontier draw sarIx, davo uhan Fl PaEO was ATl adobe village. Cy Ryan's house was also the scene of one of the George Ade's fables.
 Like Col. Ryan, nearly all other gam blers there dress well: are quiet in de- pertinent orderly and sober. They know that a drunken gambler cannot play successfully and sobriety iB exacted of employees as rigidy as in the railway service. The contribute the largest sub scription to convention and other enter tainment funds: and by this Hberalfty pie who do not patronize their business. But among themselves they admit that they are in a nefariouB business and that they are ashamed of it.
 The Fl Paso gambler is unique indi- vidual. In many instances he will win the last cent of player and then give him money to live on until he can obtain employment. When one of his fraternity dies he is always ready to contribute to the deceaseds funeral expenses, includ- ing the ever-attending brass band. Of course. tho owners of the houses do not often die fin poverty. but the operators of the games seldom save any of their salaries. There Is not case known where the family of a professional has gone in actual want if his co-workers were aware of the situation.

Death
From Bad Dreams If
 Heart is Weak.
To Awake in Fear a
 Bad Symptom.
Dr.. Miles' Heart Cure
 VIII Cured You.

Recent investigations by specialists on the heart have demonstrated that in nine eases out of ten of deaths in bed, heart action was stopped by fear, which bGd dreams or night mare had brought on. After a careful study of the habits of those who died in over thousand cases, it has been found that the majority had been sufferers from nightmare or nocturnal disturbances of dreamland, and that frequently they awoke in the middle ot the night completely exhausted and gravely alarmed through some particularly vivid dream. Thus we learn to recognize dream ing and nightmare as a marked symptom of heart disease. Be warned in time. Strengthen the hearts action with Dr. Miles Heart Cure, which euriches the blood, improves the ejaculation, regulates the pulse and invjgor- ates the heart nerves.

LoNDoN's CURSE IS DRINK.
Has Undermined Social, Moral and
 Physical Welfare of Masses.

LonQOn EXpre SS.
 The evidence showing the extraordinary extent to which the drink curse has un- dermined the social physical and moral welfare of the people is overwhelming
 All in position to judge are as one in the opinion that the great mass of the people have no conception of the ravages which the consumption of drink-especial- ly of the cheap and poisonous kinds-is making upon the physical and moral con- dition of the people through the weaker sex.
 A doctor with a large practice in the suburbs told an Express representative that grocers' licenses are among the greatest curses of the age. 'I have trac- ed.' he said. many cases of alcoholism among women to this source. The evil begins with the grocers' license and in a short time the public house Is patronizcd.
 Another evil is the medcated wine, the trade In which has vastly increased dur ing the last few years. Scores of people who would not touch ordinary wine of spirits ask If they may take a little of somebody's medicated wine. It is noth- ing but ordinary wine, to which drug has been added.
 Tt is my firm conviction that the use of such wines cultivates and in some cases awakens a craving for alcohol in strong CT form"
 A member of a public body in West Ham showed an Express representative round the best parts of the borough on Saturday night The passing of we'll dressed women In and out of public houses of the better type was continuous. A visit was paid to what is an admittedly well conducted "hotel." In the saloon bar were forty-fve persons, twenty-five of whom were women. including six young girls with young men. evidently sweet hearts.
 If you saw what I have to See every day of my life" said a head master of a board school in the cast end, you would hope that the children sent away by the fresh air fund would never come back. If We could only take the children out of the atmosphere in which they are compelled to live there might be some hope for them.
 With public houses at every street cor ner, where boys and girls play every night for want of a better place. what wonder is 1t that the scenes of drunken, fighting women dull their perceptions and lead them to look upon drunkenness as ore of the usual features of their existence. "

q public house, fand If you look down the street you will see that there are twenty more.) with an American. and when she saw the women going Into the public house. some of them respectfully clad. she said: Are they going to hold a crusde meeting there. as they did in America twenty years ago?''
 It seemed to her inconceivable that women were going there to drink: but to us 1t has become a commonplace, and those who know anything of the social life of the people in England have long realized that children are drunk for the first time in their mothers arms, or curs- ed with the appetite before they are born. In their earliest association, the public house stands as the most proml- nent factor in their existence, and has stored their minds with the impressions of everything that is vile and bad.
 But there is another picture of our so- cial life of which have to speak before I go back again to the country farm. and in order to bring this before the minds of those who are interested in social problems, l must ask them to go inside a large London drink den. There you will find that the finest houses are sup piled with a great number of entrances, six, eight or ten, and each of these en- frances leads into a separate small bar, and. if you are inclined to sit for a mo- ment and ask for a glass of lemonade, You can watch those who pass in and out
 A young girl, we'll dressed and of re- spectacle percentage, will come in. accom- panied by the young man to whom she is engaged, and they will call for a glass of spirits or beer. and sit down to drink as a mater of course. A middl-aged woman, who has known better days. draws her mantle about her, and looks around to see IT any one has noticed that she has crossed that threshold: her face is pale ana drawn. and she has anxious lines round her eyes. Employment is hard t,, get, and she is going to try to forget how difiicult 1t is to live, as she carries in her thin, trembling hand glass of neat spirit to the further corner of the bar Then there are middle-aged man and his wife, who ask for beer; . woman with a baby and a young husband; the baby cries, and the mother dips her finger in her glass and ruos its lips. A little noise in another bar tells us that there a differ ent class has assembled, and there we see the ragged denizens of the slums, but every class is represented, and among them women are prominently to be found.
 What wonder. then, that as we read the annals of our English Police Courts VIC realize that drunkenness ha snot only in- vaded the homes of the poorest of the peo- pie, but also that drinking is alarmingly on the increase among women of the wealthy and she Ieisured classes; that not only are destitute and degraded women committed to our prisons, who are unable to pay the fine but that women fin appa- rently respectable positions are continu- ally convicted of drunkenness, until it may be truly said that scarcely a family exists but has some record of this hide ous disease.

A Grateful Husband Enthusiastically Pralsss The Actina Treatment. 1t E1lected A cure After Doctors
 Had Failed.

To read over the teetimonial circular sent ou1 Dy the New York and London Electric ASsOeia- tion, certainly impresses one with the fact that the Actina system of treating diseases of the eye Is phenominaliy successful. Many of the letters are from prominent people, who would not ordi- narily permit their names to be used in Adver. tisements. One can tell from reading these tes- timonials that they are gratuitous. genuine and sincere, that they are not of the mechanically written, purchased kind.
