Although the damage indicted on the fort

Is very great, It Is not all that could be
expected from such a continuous Gre from
moderu high-power guns. The village Of
San Carlos suffered greatly. The aim OF
the German gunncrs appears TO have been
inaccurate, for more than 60 per cent Of
the shells exploded IN the village before
reaching the fort.
The cannon mounted at San Carlos have
not sufficient range to reach the Fake and

not returned as they kept out Of range OF

MRS. ETHEL WATKINS
GIVEN THREE MONTHS TO LIVE BY
ACOUNCIL OF DOCTORS.
Cured of Anemia by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills After Ordinary Medi.
cine Had Failed.

From a respondent woman, given up
to die by the best physicians she could
summon, Mrs. Ethel Watkins, of No.
112 Parker street, Scranton, Pa, has
become we'll and cheerful, a living, en-
thusiastic endorsement Of the remedy
to which she owes her life and health.
Mrs. Watkins was afflicted with amaze
mia, a disease in which the blood be-
comes so deficient as to be unable to
furnish the tissues of the body with
necessary nourishment. Every organ
is starved and the patient becomes
white and waxen in appearance. If
this condition is not quickly remedied
it runs into persistent anaemia, one of
the most hopeless of diseases. In Mrs.
Watkins case. as usually happens, the
character of the disease was not dis
covered until it was we'll advanced.
She says:
eff happened to scratch or cut my
self no blood would flow-just a wa
tery-looking fluid. I was shockingly
thin, as white as a sheet and without
a bit of strength. Three doctors at
tended me and all said I could not live
three months. I had no appetite, my
heart was weak, sleep did not rest me
| and became respondent.
1.-The doctors medicines did not help
me and neither did anything else that
| tried until, upon the advice of a
| friend who had been cured of anaemia
| by DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
| People, I began using them. They
| helped me almost Immediately and, b!
| the time had taken seven boxes, cur

mend Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People to Others"

have not yielded to ordinary treatment
embodied in these pills. has cured obsti
