A Criticism.


During the recent American tour

NJ. Mors, at the time of the parade's
passage, was on Fifth avenue. See

hearing the loud, gay music, he decid-

at the procession, and accordingly he
plunged into the deep crowd and tried
to work his way to place of vantage.

Cured Her rheumatism.

Deep Valley, Pa. Oct. 2J.-(Spe-
cial. There is deep interest ia Green
county over the cure OF the little
laughter of l. n. Whipkey Of Rheuma-
tism. She was great sufferer for
Eve or six years and nothing seemed
TO do her any good till she tried
Dcdd's Kidney Pills. She began to
improve almost at once and now She
is cured and can run and play as other
children do. Mr. Whipkey says:
81 am indeed thankful for what
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for my
daughter; they saved her from being
a cripple perhaps for life"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved
hat Rheumatism is one of the results
of diseased Kidneys. Rheumatism is
caused by Uric Acid in the blood. If
the Kidneys are right there can be no
Trio Acid in the blood and ccnse-
quently no rheumatism. Dodd's Kid
ney Pills make the Kidneys right.

DOCTOR IN TROUBLE
OPERATION BY CHINESE PHYsl.
CLAN NOT A SUCCESS.
Easerness to Rival His European Con-
freres Almost Brought Grave Disas-
ter-Authorities Thought Him Unfit
for Liberty.

A report received from DR.. Ernest
at Siangtan. Human, China, affords an
interesting comparison of Chinese and
American surgical methods. DIR. Van
derburgh has charge of two dispense
ries and hospital maintained by the
Presbyterian Board of Foreign Mis-
sions at the Chinese city named. The
dispensaries are in different parts of
the city, and as the doctor was leaving
one to go to the other he was called
to come quickly and help a Chinese
doctor.
This Chinese DOCTOR" writes DR..
Vanderburgh, had heard of the opera
tons performed in the Presbyterian
hospital and he thought that he must
do some operations to make his name
great, and not let the foreign devil
doctor get all his patients away from
him. So when big strapping fellow
of about 81 years came along and
wanted him to remove a tumor from
his knee the doctor looked ii over.

at the same time sending for Mr..
Locke to give the chloroform. We
operated, sewed him up and soon saw
him safe in bed and doing well.
In the meantime word came that
the poor Chinese doctor had been put
in prison. We all thought that that
was hard, and I sent over my card and
asked that he be released, now that
that man operated upon was out of
danger. The official sent back word
that man like that should not be at
large, but that he would send him out
of prison with a soldier to watch him.
So he was watched for two or three
days. They now tell me that If the
man had died the Chinese doctor might
have been severely punished or even
killed for it,

Coffee gave me terrible spells Of
Indigestion which, coming on every
week or SO, made my life wretched
until some one told me that the coffee
l drank was to blame. That seemed
nonsense, but l noticed these attacks
used to come on shortly after eating
and were accompanied by such ex-
cruc!ating pains in the pit of the
stomach that could only find re-
lief by loosening my clothing and
lying down.

Will you allow me to point out to
you that the tune of Yankee Doodle"
is an old Irish jig of the early eight
zenith century. well known in Ireland
still as "All the Way to Galway"
Your statement that it was composed
by DR.. Schuckburgh is a slip. You
probably meant that he wrote the
doggerel words. which is generally
admitted, but he merely adapted his
verses to the Irish jig, which was
printed as Yankee Doodle" in 1852,
and was subsequently, introduced by

YOU NEED SUCH A TONIC
Until Mulrs Grape Tonic Wa Brought
to America. the Following
Was Incurable.
READ THESE srArIsrIcs-wE CAN VERIFY THEM:

10000 people die yearly from the results
of Constipation and Stomach Troubles and
their attending ills. Nine in every ten
have it. Many don't know it, and a good
many who do know it neglect it until it
is too late. Some@get so bad they think
it is incurable, and then they resort to the
physic or pill habit, where the real trouble
begins. You and L know that Pills and
Physic make us worse, we become a slave
to them, and finally they lose their power
and paralysis of the intestines occurs, and
then slow death.
Now Constipation and Stomach Trouble
are Just as durable as any other disease;
We have proved this fully by curing over
10, 600 the last two years. Many OF these
Gated Kind in which all other remedies and
doctors had failed and hope dispaired OF,
but our treatment cured them quickly ana
to stay cured.
Mr. Thompson, of Peoria, who had suf-
fered all his life and had given up hope,
was cured by "A bottles. DR.. Dill, of St.
Louis, whose health had been broken
down, claims that several Bottles cured
him, that it is splendid medicine for
Stomach and Bowels. and the best general
tonic he eyer saw. DIR. Hedrick, of Kansas
City, who had constipation so badly that
he verged upon nervous collapse, says TO
his great surprise after trying everything
else was cured by Mulrs Grape Tonic, he
says it is the best thing for Stomach and
Bowels and kindred ills, that has come to
his attention in his professional career.
Mrs. Alcoba, of Chicago, who was con-
firmed invalid for years, after taking a
thorough course of Mull's Grape Tonic
says she was able to leave her bed after
the third bottle, and is now enjoying good
health She had tried everything that
came to her notice. Mr.. Crow, of St.
Louis, had dyspepsia, liver and bowel trou-
BILE for 35 years, which he contracted dur
ing the Civil War. He said he never could
get anything that even afforded him relief,
but that short treatment of Mulfs Grape
Tonic completely cured him He recon-
mended it to old soldiers so many OF whom
suffer with the same complaint. Mr..
McCurdy, of Troy, Ohio, was one of the
greatest sufferers that ever came to our
attention. There apparently wasn't an
organ of his body free from disease: Liver
Trouble, Stomach and Kidney. Trouble,
terrible piles that kept him In agony.
