98 per cent, could be
saved. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is an almost unfailinc cure if
taken" in the earlier stages of the disease.
It will cure consumption and all allied dis
eases, as bronchial, throat and nasal affec
tions. It cures by goinfr to first principles.
A man's body starves a long time before
consumption attacks him. The tissues of
his lungs starve for lack of sufficient nour
ishment. They become inert and half
dead and then are attacked by the bacci..i
of consumption. The " Golden Medical
Discovery " restores the long lost appetite;
it strengthens the weak stomach and cor
rects the impaired digestion; it promotes
the Sow of digestive juices and facilitates
the assimilation of the life-giving elements
of the food into the blood. When the
blood is pure and rich, old inert tissues are
torn down, carried off and excreted, and
new. healthy, muscular tissues replace
them. It allays inflammation of the mu
cous membranes, soothes the cough, fa
cilitates expectoration, and deepens the
breathing, supplying the system with a
much needed stock of oxygen. It drives
on' all impurities and disease germs.
Medicine dealers sell it.

consumption. My neighbors thought I would
not live a month. I began taking Dr. P'erce s
Golden Medical Discovery From the first,!

health as ever. I owe my life to Dr. pierce.

ENTITLED TO CONSIDERATION.
Ex-Secrotarj of State Sherman Kx
preaaea Regret at Dlderenpea Ile
tuem Sliafter ond (iorrla.
Former Secretary of State John
Sherman, in an interview, said: "I re
gret to hear of the reported differ
ences between Gens. Shafter and Gar
cia in Cuba. If the Cubans deserved
enough respect to be recognized by
the L'nited States, it seems to me they
should be respected on the field of bat
tle. They have battled for liberty and
freedom from Spanish tyranny for hai f
a century or more and now that the
object which they have so long fought
for is in sight they should share in
the fruits of victory. Gen. Garcia
Should have been invited to the sur
render of Santiago, and if he was not a
blunder was made.
"Congress passed a resolution to ex
pel Spain from Cuba. In that resolu
tion it was clearly stipulated that we
would leave the island to the control
of the people thereof after a firm and
stable government bad been estab
lished. Therefore we cannot with any
show of consistency lay claim to the
island after it has been taken from
Spain.
"It is yet to be determined whether
or not the Cubans are capable of s.elf
government. If they are. well and
good. We should turn the island over
to them, but if the Cubans become dis
satisfied with their form of govern
ment after we set it up, and rebel
against it, we would doubtless feel
called upon to step in and take the
island. This, to my mind, is the only
contingency which could arise where
in the l'nited States would be justified
in taking Cuba."
HOW A MAUSER FEELS
Correspondent \\ bo W ax Wounded nt
Sanllflco Ucaerlbes Ills
Sennfttions.
James Creelman. the correspondent
of the Xew York Journal who was
wounded in the fighting about Santi
ago, thus describes how it feels to be
hit by a Mauser bullet:
"When I was struck by the Mauser
bullet whicli smashed my arm and
made a gap in my back I felt as if I
had received a blow with a shut fist.
The sensation was no more and no
less than that which might have come
from a rough punch given by some
too hilarious friend. There w;*b just
a suspicion of stinging after the first
sensation when the bullet struck.
"It whirled me half around, but the
bullet did not have weight enough to
knock me down. X neither feit the
bullet at the point of entry, where the
wound is as small as a gimlet hole,
nor at the point of exit in the back,
where there is a big gap 3y 2 inches in
diameter.
"It was curious how little sensation
came from the wound at first. The
next moment I felt a numbness in my
arm and a pain in my hand and found
my arm hanging loose like an empty
sleeve, the bone having been broken.
Contrary to the experience of most
men shot by Mausers, I bled a great
deal.
"A curious thing about this wound,
and all the more curious because I did
not feel it at the time, is the fact that
the terrible velocity of the bullet
actually burnt the flesh black as it
left the body. It left a ring of charred,
black flesh."
ENGINEERING WORK OF NAVY,
While Meeting: the Immediate Re
quirements It Is .Also Ileing Mnile
of Permanent Value.
Chief Engineer Melville, of the navy,
is not only keeping abreast of the con
stant requirements of vessels in time
of war, but also is shaping the en
gineering work so as to make it of
permanent value. The Key West sta
tion was of little account when the
war began, but gradually it has 1 been
built up until now the engineering
bureau has a large establishment
there with ICO men in service and
material to make speedy repairs with
out the delay incident to sending ships
north. A step of permanent advan
tage to the navy is the dis
tilling ships. These carry a large ap
paratus for transferring ordinary sea
water into palatable drinking water.
Ordinarily a tank steamer carrying
fresh water has comparatively a small
capacity, probably .'{.ooo to 4.000 gal
lons, but by the process of distilling,
one pound of coal will transform 30
pounds of sea water into fresh drink
ing water. The distilling ships there
fore, carry ample supplies of coal for
their distilling apparatus, as the coa!,
represents 20 times its weight in fresh
water. The Iris and the Rainbow are
now being fitted with distilling ma
chinery.

Sick stomach means sick man (ot

Sick stomach comes from poor food,
poor nourishment: means poor health,
poor comfort. Shaker Digestive Cord

If we could examine our stomach we
would understand why it is that so lit

But, unless we are doctors, we never
see onr stomach. We only feel it. We
would feel it less if we took Shaker Di

Shaker Digestive Cordial makes your
stomach digest all the nourishing food
you eat, relieves all symptoms of indi

you well and strong again.
The more you take, the less you will

In the winter i- a luxury but how few have such. instead they let it get strong that it l»e
comes an Intoxicant, I( a package t»f BULPLUTE OF LIME Ka added to a barrel a! the
proper time it will keep it sweat and mellow.
