Every Claim is Backed by Local Te.-
timony.


If the reader wants stronger proof
than the following statement and expe-
ricnce of a resident of Clarksburg, what
can it be:
Mrs. A S. Braeey, of 100 Water street,
says: at is impossible to describe what
suffered during four years when at
tacks of backache existed. The pain was
often nnbearable and really think eacl,
succeeding attack was more prolonged
and more pronounced than its predeccs-
sors. In the spring of 1901 the trouble
became much more serious, swelling Of
the limbs and trouble with the kidney
sccretions and other signs of acute kid
ney complaint existing. which prevented
me from even lying down long in one po-
sition and compelled me to sit up most
of the time, made me anxious about my
condition and kept me constantly on tic
outlook for something to check the trou-
BILE. dcctored, tried medicines and even
went to New York City and was treated
for three months by specialist. who did
not benefit me in the least. When Deans

in their treatment. but, like drowning
person ciinging to a straw and willing
to try anything, a box was procured
for me at Wells & Haymaker's drug
store. Taking II strictly according TO
directions, first noticed n difference in
the color Of the secretions from the kid
neys. and that the pain in my back was
gradually being allayed. As continued
the great efficacy of Doan's Kidney PiiIs

FAT JOB IN NURSING
GOTHAh'S SICK PETS
Experts in New Profession Earn Big
Salaries at the Work.

NEW YORK Nov. %. = The latest
occupation to be successfully taken Up
BY women in New York city is that Of
nursing sick and injured animals. Many
people who own valuable dogs, mon
keys. birds. and cats refuse to send
them to the veterinary hospitals, and
the assistance of the trained nurse is
required.
The new profession is a profitable one,
for in a city of wealthy inhabitants like
New York the nurses pay o. $40 a
week Is nothing compared to the life Of
milady's blue Angora or her delieSte
little pocket monkey
The woman w:go takes up this pro-
fession should love. animals, for they
must be humored Ike children and I'M
derstoOd like human beings. She usu-
ally takes a course OF lectures at the
Society OF Veterinary Surgeons, after
having learned to deal with all the or
binary complaints, such as sore throat,
coughs and colds. Then she goes into
the house of the sufferer and, in her
snowy white cap and white apron, she
is as attentive and as much interested
as though she had human patient to
care for.
Many precautions are necessary when
dealing with sick animals. as suffering
may make an otherwise gentle animal
a demon of ferocity. The nurse when
administering powders to a cat always
dons heavy leather gloves to guard
against bites or scratches. In cases Of
a sick monkey which is the most uncer-
tain of animals to handle. the nurse
often has recourse TO some drug before
she can administer the necessary medi-
cine. These delicately constituted ami
mails often suffer from distressing all
ments. such as neuralgia and consump-
ton They are very hard to handle
when i'll.

A GOLD-HEADED CANE
WITH A LONG HISTORY
Was the Gift of Arsenic Prieto, Who
Died at Sea Thirty Years
Ago.

A belated incident of the Spanish
American war is published in La
Epoca," SPANS greatest and oldest
journal, issued in Madrid The article.
dated October last, is as follows:
Capt Cassidy Cook, who served In
the United States Volunteer Army in
Cuba and was with General Gomez in
the insurgent army. when in Spain re-
Gently with Senior Don Luis Pastor for

ington. ID. C, returned to Capt. Victor
NJ. COncas, among other personal ef-
fects, an engraved gOld-headed cane.
The cane was TIE property of Capt
Arsenic Solloso Prieto. who commanded
the Spanish frigate Carmen and died at
sea thirty years ago. while returning
from the Philippines. Captain concas
was his flag lieutenant, and was at his
bedside when Captain Prieto died. The
latter. as atlast bequest TO his beloved
lieutenant, gave him his cane, on which
was inscribed, IN gold, the miniature

stars surmounted by three gold bars.
Treasured Thirty Years.
Captain Concas treasured the me-
mento nearly thirty years. When wound
ed at Santiago he sought 1t, among
other treasures, before he was taken
from the burning ship. E-owever, he
failed 70 find the cane
Captain Cook secured the cane and

deavored for three years TO solve. 1t
was not until September last. when the
cane was shown to Captain Concas. in
Madrid. that it was recognized by him
as the long treasured memento OF Cap
tain Prieto.
THE letters Of Admiral Cervera and
