The Young Physician.
WHAT HIS EXPERIENCE PROVED.

In the early sixties it was usually the
duty of a practicing physician to ride
many miles every day on his regular
round of visits upon his patients. In
those days a young man who had received
q splendid medical training in one of the
best medical colleges of that day was &C
custOmed to ride ten, twenty or thirty
miles or more visiting the sick and
afflicted. His success was oOn phenom-
email. Doctors and families called him for
consultation to towns at considerable dis
tances by rail. One of his specialties was
the cure of those distressing diseases of
women. He had early discovered that
by combining the vegetable extract Of
the following medicinal plants in just the
right proportion without the use of alcO-
hol-his prescription invariably cured
such cases. Later, in order to place this
remedy before the public in a shape easily
to be procured, he established Il labora-
tory at Buffalo, n. Y, where regularly
qualified chemists were put in charge to
accurately prepare his prescription and
put it in shape for shipment to all parts
of the United States. This remedy, which
he named DIR. Pierce'S FavOrite PreScrip-
ton, is not a "patent medicine" in the
common acceptance of the term, but a
tonic for women, and a regular physi-

RoJEsTvENsKY GOING NORTH.
Russian Fleet is Said to Be Taking
on Coal.

LONDON-Now that it seems def
nitely established that Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky has started on his north
ward journey, there is a great deal
of interest in the eastern campaign.
Kwangchau bay, where provision
junks are said to be waiting for the
Russian feet. is the most northward
of French possessions on the Chinese
sea and the last port which Rojest-
vensky can select for his final depart
ure to meet the Japanese. 1t has a
fine anchorage and a sheltered chan
mel, where a large fleet may ride n
safety.
Reports still circulate in London to
the effect that the Russian Pacific's
fleet coaling arrangements are ex-
tremely inadequate and have been
the main cause Of its prolonged
stay in Indo-Chinese waters, and that
the admiral is finding ever-increased
difficulty on this score.

GREAT CHANGE
From Change in Food.

The brain depends much more on
the stomach than we are apt to sup
pose until we take thought in the mat
ter. Feed the stomach on proper food
easy to digest and containing the
proper amount of phosphates and the
healthy brain will respond to all de-
mands. A notable housewife in Buff
falo writes:
THE doctor diagnosed my trouble
as a nervous affection of the stom-
ach.' l was actually SO nervous that
l could not sit still for five minutes
to read the newspaper, and to attend
to my household duties was simply
impossible. l doctored all the time
with remedies, but medicine did no
good.
MY physician put me on all sorts
of diet, and I tried many kinds of
cereal foods, but one of them agreed
with me. l was almost discouraged,
and when l tried Grape-Nuts l did so
with many misgivings-I had no faith
that it would succeed where every
thing else had failed.
But it did succeed, and you don't
know how glad l am that l tried it.
l feel like a e. person. have gain
ed in weight and l don't have that
terrible burning sensation in my stom-
ach any more. | feel so strong
again that l am surprised at myself.
The street noises that used to irritate
me so, l never notice noV, and my
mind is so clear that my household
duties are a real pleasure"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
There's a reason.
Now why was this great change
made in this woman?
The stomach and the brain had not
been supplied with the right kind Of
food to rebuild and strengthen the
nerve centers in these organs. 1t is
absolute folly to try to do this with
medicine. There is but one sure way
and that is to quit the old food that
has failed and take on Grape-Nuts
food which is more than half digested
in the process Of manufacture and is
rich in the phosphate of potash con-
tanned in the natural grain, which
unites with albumen and water-the
only three substances that will make
up the soft gray filing in the thou
sands of delicate nerve centres in the
brain and body. Grape-Nuts food is a
sure road back to health in all such
cases.

RUMORO OF BATTLE
RUSSIANS THINK LAND AND SEA
FIGHTS IMMINENT.
MANCHURlAH DISPATCHES STOP
Silence Taken to Indicate that General
Linevitch is ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS APP
parently Rapidly Shaping for a
Great Battle.

ST. PETERSBURG-With a sus-
picious stoppage of dispatches from
Manchuria and a strong possibility
that Vice Admiral R~ojestvensky has
cut his last communications with
home and set forth on the final stage
of his Journey to his goal, either Togo
or V~ladivostok, keen interest is mani
tested in naval and military circles
here in the twofold field of war.
Though the Admiralty, which has
been completely silent since the ad-
vent of Rojestvensky in the Chinese
sea, publishes no dispatches, the con-
viction is growing that the united
squadrons, as indicated by the Asso-
ciated Press on May Is, departed from
the AMMAN coast Immediately after
their juncture and naval officers are
a~nxiously expecting news of the first
skirmishes between scouts of the hos
tile fleets.
The Associated Press correspond
ent, on his visit to naval officers yes
terday to investigate the rumor that
Vice Admiral R~ojestvensky's health
had broken down, was repeatedly and
eagerly questioned for the latest in
formation through the press dispatches
which, it was declared, is a better
source than the Admiralty.
Captain Clado confirmed the state
ment of the Associated Press that the
vessels of both squadrons are equip
ped with apparatus for cleaning their
bottoms at sea. He said it was en-
tirely possible for Vice Admiral Nebo-
gatoff to put the last finishing touches
to the vessels of his division during
the mysterious interval when they
we're lost to sight before passing the
Straits of Malacca.
Neither the Admiralty nor individ-
ual officers have any information re-
garding the rumored request of Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky to be relieved,
and all who were questioned regard
ing the report express doubts of its ac-
curacy. 1t was pointed out that it
would be entirely possible for the
fleet to delay in the China sea until
the arrival of Vice Admiral Birileff,
anu II Was uSCldEeu JHdI hOJSSjhtl-
sky will keep his flag flying as long
as he is not utterly incapacitated for
command, which would then devolve
on Vice Admiral Voelkersam, WHO is
known as an officer with a Teutonic
thoroughness and attention to the de-
tails of his profession. He is also a
noble strategist and theoretician.
The Associated Press was informed
that Vice Admiral Birileff will be sent
to Yladivostok, which possibly &C
counts for the origin of the rumor of
Rojestvensky's request to be relieved
of his command.
On the military side the indications
are that events are rapidly shaping
for the preliminary stage Of another
great battle. The Russian army has
been reftted and is ready for action,
and it is asserted that General Line
witch isn't the man to waste days in
inactiOn.

indicate that a naval battle is immi-

of AMMAN and apparently heading
