f Miss Nellie Holmes, treasurer of thej Young Womans Temperance Association of Buffalo, N. Y., strongly advises all suf fering women to rely, as she did, upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. *• Dkab Mn*. rrvKHAM: — Your medicine is indeed an ideal woman’* medicine, and by far the best I know to restore lost health and strength. I suffered misery for several years, being troubled with menorrhagia. My back ached, I had bearing-dowu pains and frequent headaches. 1 would often i wake from restful sleep, and in such pain that I suffered for hours before I could go to sleep again. I dreaded the long nights as much as the weary days. I consulted two different physicians, hoping to get relief, but, finding that their medicine did not seem to cure me, I tried your Vegetable Compound on the recommendation of a friend from the Hast who was visitiDg me. “ I am glad that I followed her advice, for every ache and pain is gone, and not only this, but my general health is much improved. I have a tine appetite and* have gained in flesh. My earnest advice to suffering women is to put away nil other medicines and to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege table Compound.”— Miss Xxllik Holmes, 540 No. Division St., Buffalo, N. Y. niss Irene Crosby, prominent in Social Life in East Savanah, Ga., adds her testimonial to the value of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Dear Mbs. Phtriiam “ It always gives mo pleasure to lind au article of real value and unquestioned merit. I have found Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound well calculated to relieve and cure the various troubles arising from irregulari ties and menstrual pains. “ Much suffering could be spared if we only paid more attention to proper living end diet, blit as long as women do net do this, your Vegetable Compound has come to "the front as a true friend in need. I have been very pleased indeed with the relief it has brought me. I find that 1 have perfect health now, and that my mind is also more clear and active since 1 used your Vege table Compound. It has been of great benefit to me, and I gladly recommend it.

INSULT THE FLAG. Rebels Attack U. S. Consulate and Destroy Property. NEW YORK.—Indications now are | that the Morales government will win, since the siege of the capital has been raised, says a San Domingo dispatch to the Herald. The Morales forces have, however, met reverses at Guerra and San Pedro de Maeoris. General Zapata of the revolutionists has been caught at Navarrate and lias been shot. The insurgents have re quested aid and ammunition front Hayti, which was refused. They are now making a forced loan at A/.tia. levying upon foreign merchants for $200 and sugar estates for $1,000.

Busi ness has been paralyzed and tele graphic communication interrupted. WASHINGTON. President Morales of the Dominican has been refused permission to blockade his own ports to keep out the revolutionists, as shown by the following report of the Navy department, by Captain Miller, commanding the. cruiser Columbia. This morning (February 18» the American three-masted schooner W. R. Perkins came in from the eastward and our boarding boat went alongside. The captain Informed me that lie had been warned off Maeoris, and not al lowed to enter by the gunboat Presi dente. and wras told that he must pro ceed to this port. Immediately upon receipt of this information I commu nicated with the' minister, requesting him to communicate with President Morales and inform him that l wouldn’t recognize his right to block DOCTORS FALL IN LINE. Practicing Physicians recognize the unfailing reliability of Doan's Kidney Pills by Pre scribing them for Backache, Kidney, Bladder, end Urinary Disorders—a tribute won by no other Proprietary Medicine. Four cases cited from “Notes of His Practice," by Dr. Leland Williamson, ot Yorklown, Ark. Fostik-Milburn Co.. Buffalo, N. Y. YORKTOWN, Ark., Mar. 1, 1904. Gentlemen:—I have been engaged in the practice of medicine in thit section for ten years. This is a very sickly climate, on the Bayou Bar tholomew, near the Arkansas River. It is particularly malarious and miasmatic; we meet with many and various abnormal conditions of the human family, prominent among the cases in which I have been called upon to prescribe is kidney disease. Many of these disorders manifest themselves by pains in the back, often extending to other parts of the body; sometimes headache is present, caused by uraemic or chronic uric acid poisoning, soreness in region of kidneys, cloudy, thickened and foul-smelling urine, discharges of pus or corruption; inflammation of the kidneys, extending to the bladder, is caused by excess of uric acid and decomposition of the urine. Hemorrhage is sometimes met with, caused by high state of inflammation or congestion. There is no class of diseases a doctor is called oftener to treat than the variety of kidney diseases, in many of which the patient will have chills or rigors, follow d py fever, a result of the kidneys tailing to elim inate the uric acid poison from the system. Such cases require the kid neys restored to their natural functions, then the poison and foreignsub stances are removed—shock to the nervous system averted, and natural health restored. I have, for some time, been using Doan's Kidney Pills in these many manifestations and with uniform success, curing most cases. I can further sav that even in hopeless cases where they have waited too long, Doan’s Kidney Pills afford much relief and prolong life. I can recom mend the pills in conditions of excessive or deficient secretion of urine, as also in convalescence from swamp-fever nnd malarial attacks, M verified by the following cases in my practice. CASE I. Thos. Orrix, Bear, Ark., age 60. Pain in back for several weeks, then chills, irregular sometimes, severe rigois followed by fever. (lave good purgative of calomel acd padoph, and Doan's Kidney Pills. After taking four boxes of the pills, patient np and enjoying good health for one of his age. CASE 2. Mrs. Smith, Tarry, Ark., age 2**. mother of four children. Had female complaint and kidney trouble, mani fest by pain in back and urine irregu lar; sometimes very clear, changing to cloudy, and with much sediment on standing in chamber. Gave local treatment for female complaint and prescribed Doan's Pills, after using six boxes she regards herself as cured. CASE 3. Brown F.ak*. Wynne, Ark., age 21. Had severe case of malarial hoemataria or swamp fever. Gave necessary liver medicine, calomel and padoph, and morph, -sulph., to re lieve pain, and ordered Doan's Pilla for the high state of congestion and inflammation of the kidneys. Re covery resulted in two weeks. Pre scribed Doan's Kidney Pills, to be continued until the kidneys were thoroughly strengthened and all paia in back subsided. CASE 4. Elijah F.lliott, Tarry, Ark., age 34. Tain in back and legs and headache. Uric-acid poisoning. Pro scribed Doan's Kidney Pills. After taking several boxes pain subsided —urine became normal, or natural, and patient able to resume his work. These are a few of the typical rases in which I have used Doan’s Kid^ ney Pills. In a great many instances I use them alone with curativ* results, while with some others indicated remedies are associated. I believe that by the judicious Use of Doan’s Pills many serious com plications are arrested and many hopeless and incurable cases of Bright’* disease prevented. I have often found that one box of the pills is all that is required to effect a cure, but in some cases I continue their use until all symptoms aro entirely absent and the cure effectual and permanent.
