There are none which cannot be cured by this remarkable remedy. The record of the cures already made is truly marvellous and were it not for the high standing of the great physician and the convincing testin ony of thousa nds of citizens all over the country 1t would seem too mirac- ulous to be true.
 There can be no doubt of the doctor s earnestness in making his claims, nor can his cures be disputed.

 BURNING BUILDING.
Old Soldier Taken from Mountain
 Creek Home While It Was [. Ahre-Loss Will Reach i Fully $1,O0o.

In the destruction by fire of the Fox Maull cottage, at the Mountain Creek Home early Friday morning, MT. Raines, an inmate and Confederate soldier from Mobile. had a very narrow escape. His life was saved only by the united efforts of his comrades who carried him from the Burning building.
 The blaze on the roof had gotten well under way before the inmates discov- cred their danger. Mir. Raines was awak- ened with the others, but he became dazed and helpless from the dense smoke that filled the house. His comrades however, remained with him and he wa: carried out in safety.
 Capt. J. Nj. Fanxper, who spent Fri day at the Home. said yesterday that al though the building was insured fol thrce-fourths of its value, the total loss would be about $l.000. A large part ot the loss was the furniture. The first res port of the fire was somewhat inaccurate as to the furniture saved. Only DOT eion of the bed clothing was gotten out The furniture in the Lomax room, the Phelan room, the Greil room and the Mabson room. was destroyed, with the dining room and kitchen.

"Appendicitis'' ig Barred.

The illness of King Edward VII brought to light the fact that the word "appendi- eitis. which is in general use in this country. is not so common in England. It is. as a matter of fact. of American origin. and 1t Is possible that this is the reason why it Is ignored in the huge New English Dictionary" Dr. Murray however has recently accounted for his decision on the ground that words ending in ''its'' are not English, but Graeco- Latin, and do not come within the scope of an English dictionary unless. as In the case of bronchitis" they are in popular use. In this country, at least. one is used as much as the other.
