COMMANDMENT

The London Times of Sept. 6, con- tradicts the report that had prevailed of the threat of the American squad ron tesbombard Naples, and adds: ''What ever are the claims of the Americans they have been brought forward in a more decent way. On the 8th of August, MT. Pinckney pre- sented his letter of credentials to the King of the.Two Sicilies. He has been sent to Naples on a special mission whence he is to proceed to St. Peters burg, when that is accomplished. It is pretended already that he is to pro- pose a cession of territory, in case the Neapclitan government shall not dis cover the disposition, or the means of satisfying the demands of the Ameri- cans in money. The Lipari Isles have been mentioned, but it is not probable that the court of Naples will consent to such an arrangement"

Cured His RUPTURE

I was badly. ruptured while lifting a trunk severH years ago. Doctors said my only h4pe of cure was an op- eration. Trusses did me no good. Finally I got hold, of something that quickly and completely cured me- Years have passed and the rupture has never returned, although I am doing hard work as a carpenter. There was no operation, no lost time, no trouble. I have nothing to sell, but viii give full information about how you may find complete cure without operation, if you write to me, Eugene M. Pullen, Carpenter, 40 c, Marcellus Avenue, Manasquan, N. J. Better cut out this notice and show it to any others who are ruptured-you may save a life or at least stop the misery of rupture and the worry and danger of an operation.
