The History of Kidney Diseases, Liver Disorders, and Menstrual Trouble- is One of Much Weakness,
 Suffering and DespOndency.
Many Despairing Victims Have Been Won Back to Health and Strength by the Timely Use of the
 Right Remedy.

In diseases of the kidneys and urinary organs men and women once strong, hearty and vigorous are soon reduced Co comparative helplessness, at times able to get about and do odd jobs, at others prostrated completely. This was the experience of thousands of per sons who owe their present good health to the superior remedial effect of Prickly Ash Bitters. Why endure all this dis tress when q remedy that has proved its power and effectiveness in such ailments can be SO easily obtained. Don't de- spair, no matter how much fruitless doctoring you have been doing. Prickly Ash Bitters has cured where every other remedy tried has failed, which is attrib- utable entirely to it's four-foid cleansing and strengthening effect. It is a kidney tonic, liver and stomach stimulant and bowel purifier combined, therefore it exercises its cleansing and restorative influence uniformly in every part of the body. For the weakening and distress ing irregularities peculiar to women Priekly Ash Bitters has obtained the very highest endorsement.

FURTHER REPORT ON RESCUE.

Washington, March 4.-Aecording to further report from the torpedo hotilla regarding the naval engagement of March 10, which has been received at the Jap anese legation of the four Russian pris- oners who were captured on board the Steregusehtchi, or picked up from the sea in the vicinity of that vessel, one was mine layer, and the other three stokers. Three of these latter were wounded. On the captured boat none but dead were found It is supposed that the remain ing jumped into the water before the boat was captured.
 The Japanses attempted to rescue the Russians who were drowning. but owing to the constant firing from the shore batteries, and the sudden appearance of the Novik, they were obliged to abandon them The wounded prisoners have been given the best medical treatment, and are recovering rapidly The report adds that they seem entirely satisfied with being on the Japanese ship.
