Suffered 27 years with kidney disease. Mr. G. A. Stillson, a merchant of Tampico, 111., writes: “Foley's Kidney Cure is meeting with wonderful success. It has cured some cases here that physicians pronounced incurable. I myself am able to testify to its merits. My face is a living picture of health, and Foley’s Kidney Cure made it such.

She fired three shells, each containing 200 pounds of gun cotton, at the strong Spanish fort at the Western entrance of Santiago harbor. The effect was terrible.

I was seriously afflicted with a cough for several years, and last fall had a more severe cough than ever before. I have used many remedies

The first bottle relieved me very much and the second bottle has absolutely cured me. I have not had as good health for twenty years. Respectfully Mrs. Mary A. Beard, Claremore, Ark.

Secure good health and you will surely have good looks. “Electric Bitters” is a good alterative and tonic. Acts directly on the stomach, liver and kidneys, purifies the blood, cures pimples, blotches and boils, gives a good complexion, every bottle guaranteed. Sold at Page Blackburn’s drug store. 50c per bottle. A war correspondent to the Warren Independent says: Private Jake Schlegel has had considerable trouble in finding a pair of shoes to fit him. The trouble has not been so much on account of the size of his feet as on account of the smallness of his shoes. He has however finally succeded in getting a pair of shoes that fit him. Jake says they are No. 12, but the boys say they did not have any mark on them to donate ‘heir size and it is their opinion that Jake found a couple of cows and kicked the Ixrnes out of them and walked into the hides. Bad management keeps more people in poor circumstances than any other one cause. To be successful one must look ahead and plan ahead so that when a favorable opportunity presents itself he is ready to take advantage of it A little forethought will also save much expense and valuable time. A prudent and careful man will keepabottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy in the house, the shiftless fellow will wait until necessity compels it and then ruin his best horse going after the doctor and have a bigdoctor bill to pay besides; one pays out 25c. the other is out a hundred dollars and then wonders why his neighbor is is getting richer while he is getting poorer.
