Treating Wrong Disease.

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine,
one from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney
disease, another from nervous exhaustion
or prostration, another with pain here and
there, and in this way they all present
alike TO themselves and their easy going
and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, sep
arate and distinct diseases for which he.
assuming them TO be such, preScribeS his
pills and potions. In reality, they are all
only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant of the
cause OF suffering, encourages this prac-
tice until large bills are made. The suf-
fering patient gets no better, but proba bly,
worse, by reason of the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent complications
A proper medicine like DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription, directed to the cause
would have entirely removed the disease,
thereby diSpeling all those distressing
symptoms, aud instituting comfort in
stead OF prolonged misery. 1t has been
well said, that"a disease known is half
cured"

ISLAND
is A BIG
FELLOW

Confirmation of the discovery of
new island which recently made its
appearance in Alaska near the Bogos-
lof group YVES brought to Portland this
morning by Captain P. ]. Werlich, in.
spector of the Thirteenth lighthouse
district, who has just returned on the
tender Heather from 4S days. cruise
in northern waters. The new island
is located in "a degrees north latitud,
and 16S degrees west longitude. 1t is
larger than either the Fire or Castle
islands, situated in the same vicinity.
The discovery of the new land was
made by the officers of the steamer
Albatross, and later reported by them
to the schooner Hunter, which carried
the information to Dutch harbor. 1t
was there that Captain Werlich was
made acquainted with the find, and if
he had had plenty of time he would
have made a personal investigation of
the matter for the government. When
the officers Of the vessel first saw the
island they thought that the sea was
boiling up all around it, but subse
quently supposed that the breakers
gave them that impression.
While at Dutch harbor Captain Wer.
Itch also met that intrepid Danish ex.
plorer Mickkelsen, who is conduct
ing a scientific expedition in the far
North. He is accompanied by Leflin-
gell, scientist from Chicago, as well
as number of others representing
various European countries. There are
IL men in the party. On board the
schooner Duchess of Bedford they
sailed from Dutch harbor June 26
After going to tn Siberian coast to
procure dogs, the explorers will call
at Nome, where they will take on a
supply of provisions sufficient to last
them two or three years. Then they
will sail for Banks Island, in the
Arctic circle, near the mouth of the
Mackenzie river. The schooner will
then be sent back to Unalaska and
the explorers will travel far inland by
dog team. At the end of couple of
years or so they expect to return to
civilization by one of the whalers fre'
quenting those waters
"I inspected all the stations in tn,
district during my Absence" says Cap.
tain Werlich, and found them to be
in splendid shape. The building at
Scotch Cap was slightly out of repair
on account of having been partially
caved in by a snow slide, but the dam
age was slight. / found the boat in
which Assistant Keeper Jorgensen and
Is. w. Sepp, a business man of the
Southeast Five Finger Station, had
embarked last winter and later were
drowned. The craft contained all the
supplies t be men had taken when
they started out on their trip. Every
indication went to show that the boat
eapsized and the occupants lost their
lives"
While making the cruise around to
the various stations the captain says
he saw great schools of whales. In one
bunch he counted as high as 60, which
were sporting about and apparently
having the time of their lives. The
Heathel' bumped into one of them, but
she keptan even keel and got away
withOt receiving any damage. He
reports tho weather as having been fine
