WASHINGTON , Feb. 11. Consideration or
the .Indian appropriation bill was resumed
by the senate today , and after being
amended to some extent the measure was
passed.
Thn most Important amendment to the bill
\\aa that offered by Mr. Pcttlgrow , which ,
if finally enacted , will restore the frco homc-
Btc-id law so far ns It relates to Indian lands
ceded to the United States , for which lands
the zettlcM bavo been obllncd to pay the
purchano prlco paid to the Indians' . The bill
carries appropriations aggregating nearly
$3,000.000.
In the senate todiy a Joint resolution pro.
vldlng for a survey and to determine the
practicability of opening a navigable canal
through the southwest pass of the Missis
sippi river v/as pawiod.
A bill providing for an American register
of the steamer Lcelanaw ot San Francisco
was also passed ,
Mr. Allen ( Neb. ) Introduced a resolution
directing the committee on foreign relations
to Inquire whether the yacht Duccanucr.
owned hy Mr. Heatst , had been seized and
was being held by the Spanish government.
The resolution wan agreed to.
The Indian appropriation bill was then
taken up. Mr. .Allen ( Nob. ) withdrew his
appeal from the decision of the vlco presi
dent , which was pending when the senate
adjourned last evening.
Mr. Pettlgrow ( S. D. ) offered ns an amend
ment a provision for the restoration ot the
frro homestead laws.
Ho explained that the amendment , If
adopted , would allow settlers to secure title
to their lands after a period of five years by
the payment of the land olllco fees. It rc-
fitoruil the homestead law of 1S02. Gradu
ally , ho said , laws have been enacted repeal
ing that law , until now thcro Is practically
no land left suitable for settlement under
that law. Mr. Pettlgrow did not dcslro to
discuss thn amendment at length , but as It
had been passed by the senate nnd endorsed
liy every political party , It ought now , ho
Bald , bo favorably considered by the senate.
PROSPEROUS UNDER THE LAW.
Mr. Carter supported the amendment. He
maintained that under the free homestead
law sottleia had become prosperous. Under
It the great state of Illinois had been re
deemed and made one of the mcst fertile
and 'prosperous spots on the face of the
earth. As soon ns the government auc
tioneer was excluded from the land It
bloomed as the rose and settlers attained
prosperity. As It was In Illinois , so also It
had been In Indiana , Iowa , Minnesota and
other great statea.
Mr. Carter referred to the difficulty set
tlers Iti Oklahoma had had In making the
paymento demanded by the government. The
atranKO spectacle Is presented , ho said , of
people who are building school houses , Im
proving roads nad developing what will be
ono of the greatest commonwealths ot the
union , being pursued by the government for
payment of homes payments which they
have been unable to make on account of
failure of crop * . It In n lamentable spec
tacle , contended Mr. Carter , that settlers
I i Oklahoma should bo forced to mortgage
their teuir.n nnd cattle and other stock to
pay the claims ot the general government.
.After pursuing the free homestead policy
tor a generation it Li right and Just and
proper that the aenate should faithfully dis
charge the obligations of the government.
Mr. Allison said ho would have to make
the point of order agaltMt the amendment.
Mr. Pettlirew then withdrew the amenu- *
mcnt and offered another , eliminating the
military reservations which have been
opened to. settlement.
The amendment , as amerded , Mr. Allison
Mid , removed his point of order. He thought ,
however , that the amendment would do no
Injuttlco to ( do people , boaiu.sc the lands
that Kavo been opened to settlement had
cost the government a largo amount of
money. Some of the land Is now worth $10
nn acre , a > nd yet , Mr. Allison held , the pro
posed amendment made no distinction be
tween the more valuable nnd the less valu
able land. Should the amendment bo en
acted Into law. In a few Instances men who
have taken up valuable lands would cot have
to pay for the.u.
KLIMINATBS MILITARY LANDS.
Mr. Pasco held that In the Interest of Jus
tice the elimination of the military reserva
tion land Prom tfio provisions of the amend
ment ought not to bo permitted. Ho ex
plained that It tte < mcndinait was adopted
the cottiers on the abandoned military reser-
vatlona woujd lose the Influence of their
present allies , the nettlcra on the Indian
reservation lands.
Mr. Kyle urged the adoption of the
amendment because It was now evident that
no other way could the free homestead law
bo restored. Although by a large majority
the senate had In May last passed the free
homestead law and cent It to the IIOUPO of
representatives , the speaker of the lionao
stood like a otono wall against any consid
eration of the measure , and there was not ,
therefore , the slightest chance to secure Us
pat.sago except as an amendment 'to ' the
pending bill.
Mr. Pnaco gave notice that ho would here
after , In the event ot the enactment of the
amendment , props the claims ot the settlers
on abandoned military reservations. The
amendment was then adopted without dl-
vUlon. It Us as follows :
That all settlero under the homestead laws
of the United States upon the public lands
acquired prior to the passage of thla net by
/treaty / or agreement from the various In
dian tribes who have resided or who Hhall
Jierenfter reside upon the tract entered In
jjood faith for the period required by cx-
iatlnir law shall bo entitled to a patent for
the lamia no entered upon the payment to
the local land otllcera of the usual nnd
customary fees , nnd no other or further
charge of any hind "whatsoever snail bo re
quired from such settler to entitle him tea
a patent for the land rovcied by his entry ;
provided , that the right to commute any
Hiich entry and pay for aald lands In the
option of any such settler and In the time
mid nt the prices now llxed by existing laws
Kliall remain In full force and effect ; pro
vided , however , that all sums or money so
released , which , If not reli'imcd would be
long to any Indian tribe , Hhall be paid to
tnich Indian tribe by the United Stilton.
Mr. Allen introduced hla amendment pro
viding for a restoration of aniiultln ) for the
Santee Sioux Indians , and discussed It in
extent.
Ho was followed by Mr. Pettlgrew In sup
port ot the amendment.
Mr. Allison made the point of order
against the report , saying It was now legis
lation , and the point was sustained.
The amendments to the bill wcro agreed
( o , and as amended the bill was passed.
Mr. Allison moved that when the ecnato
adjourned today It bo until Monday next ,
end the motion was agreed to ,
Dills for the establishment , control , oper-
etlon and maintenance of the northern
liranrh of the national homo for dlmblrd
volunteer soldiers at Hot Springs , S. D , ; for

revision and adjustment of tbo rale of the
Oteo and Missouri g-ciorvntloii lands In Kan-
Ma and Nebraska , and confirm the titles

WASHINGTON , Feb. 11. Pursuant to In-
etructlor.s from the acting tecretary of war
a special supplementary report lias been pre
pared by K. Hazard Wells , who acted as
agent for the War department In 'brlng'tig
attention to Captain Ray'a dispatches. Mr.
Wells has been In Alaska three times , luui
traversed the Interior and h'ns a .practical
knowledge of the country that Is Inhabited
by few persons. Ho says , among oilier
thlngo : "Tlioro are undoubtedly largo de
posits of gold In Alaska , rivalling those of
the Urltiah Northwest territory. I noticed
excellent mineral Indications upon the Ta-
nana river and In other localities In ISitO.
I discovered n true fissureoln ot quartz
eight feet In diameter with well defined cas
ing rocks upon the upper Tar.ana , Thta
quartz evidently contained metal. Speci
mens which I secured to tnko out to San
Francisco for n.uay wcro subsequently lost
In a river catastrophe. Numerous creeks
entering the upper Tanana revealed colors
of gold In the sands.
"All of the gold-bearing streams of Alaska
so far discovered , viz : IVrch creek , Miller
creek. Forty Mile creek , Sixty Mile creek
nnd Seventy Mile crc ek , head In the vicinity
of the Tannna river and flow away to the
northeast. On the southwestern side and
heading near the Tanana are the noted Cop
per and Suahltna rlvera , the 1-tttcr being the
gold bearing stream which recently came
Into prominence through the placer discov
eries on CooYa Inlet. The Copper river U
popularly supposed to bo located In the heart
of a mineral 'belt. ' It Is a reasonable deduc
tion that If all the streams flowing away
from the Tanaai to the northeast and south
west bear gold that the Tanana Itself must
cut through a gold-bearing country. This
opinion shared 'by ' nearly nil ot the old-
tlrrto millers now located In Dawson. Re
cently excellent iircspecta were discovered
upon an American creek , a tributary of the
Yukon in Alaska , Just below Forty Mile
creek. Miller creek , Dlroh creek nnd other
streams within the boundaries of Alaska In
the Yukon valley still offer Inducements to
placer miners. I do not believe that any
better mining region will too discovered In
Alaska than will be found In the Great
Tanana valley. "

WASHINGTON , Feb. 11. General Shallen-
berger , the second assistant postmaster gen
eral , will be present at the opening la Now
York ot circuit No. 2 of the pneumatic tube
ajfltoru built for the transmission of the
malls. The second circuit rums from the
general pcstofilco to station II or the Grand
Central railway station , and U three and a
half miles In length. Notice that It will bo
ready for operation reached the Postotfico de
partment , and General Gary betag unable
to attend the ceremony delegated Mr. Shnl-
lenberger to represent him. Good results
are looked to from the new tube. Greater
facility In handling the Immense amount of
mail matter passing between the postoffice
and the Grand Central station will be the
greatest advantage gained. As a result of
the introduction of the service the postal
officials believe that resort will be had to
the malls for hasty communication by many
persons who heretofore have u. > cd the tele
graph for that purpose. The officials be
lieve this will greatly Increase the revenues
of the department and more than pay for
the outlay Involved In the uow scheme. Be
tween 90 and 03 per cent ot the mall matter
transported between the postoffico and ono
of the exchanges where there Is already a
pneumatic tube bervlco In operation goes
through the tube , and the opinion Is ex
pressed that there should bo no reason why
that between the postoffico and the central
station should not be a. = > generally used.

The estimates upon the damagca strained
by the telephone and telegraph companies
from the late sleet storm are meager as yet ,
but they will probably reach a goodly sum.
President Yost ot the Nebraska Telephone
company stated last cvcmtag that communi
cation was Mill cut off by their lines from
the southern part of the state. Some In
formation , howrvcr , has been gleaned by
telegraph and the heaviest less appears to
have taken place nt Lincoln. At this point
the sleet waa unusually heavy nnd wns ac
companied hy a hlqh wlon. A large number
of poles were broken down and many mllea
of wire -nont down with them. President
Yost estimates the- loss at Lincoln to be
llttlo short ot $10,000. Messages from Fair-
bury , Beatrice , Falls City , Crete nnd other
points south ot Llnco'n also Indicate that
heavy loss wae sustained to the telephone
toll wires. Pole * were broken down nnd
the service In many placea was entirely
destroyed. What the loss will bo Is thus
far merely conjecture by the officials of the
company located In this city. U Is expected
that service v.111 bo rc-establltjhcd In a few
days , as a largo gang of men are at work
repairing the lines. The northern and wcat-
ern toll lines puttered but little from the
storm and the Bervlco over them was not
Interrupted.
Manager F.ullcr of the Postal Telegraph
company said last evening that nearly nil
thp lines of hla company were In working
order and that the damage In this district
which Included western Iowa and southern
Nobraaka would not exceed $500.
Manaccr Dickey ot the Western Union
stated that the loaa to his company In the
district over which ho has Jurisdiction would
not exceed $1,000. Ho thought that the
whole less to the company In all drsWcts
from the etorm would not exceed $2,000.

Criminal Court Bailiff Ed Stout to sing a
paean about H all as a result of a llttlo
personal experience. Stout was glad to get
away for a few minutes from the Kastncr
Jury with which he had been all night and
as ho walked down Farnam street hl heart
was filled with Joy and gladness. Just as ho
was reaching the crowning apostrophe of
lyric ho was forming something smashed
him hard on the nose. Ho was very nearly
felled to the ground.
Ono of the Icicles which festooned the tele
graph wires had made a bee line for Bailiff
Stout's head. It passed completely through
the rim of his stiff derby hat and then dug
a deep furrow the entire length of his nose.
The force of the blow was so great that he
would have fallen .if passersby had not
caught him. The Injury Is not great , but
Bailiff Stout Is confident that If the piece of
Ice had struck him on top ot the head he
would have been killed.

OMAHA , Feb. 10. To the Editor of The
Bee : In your laiuo of February 7 I notice
a "special" from Lincoln that fully confirms
a Fchemo that was reported to me a few
days ago when I was In that city on one of
my regular buolncss trips. I violate no
confidence m puncturing this bubble ns
formulated by Governor Holcomb's trans
ported democratic secretary. Mr. Marot'a
plan runa about this way : Ho Is In clc.io
correspondence with the various demo-pop
officials , both elective and appointive , and
advises springing aa many candidates for
governor and making the fight as bitter and
sectional as possible. Then when the tri
partite conventional farce of last fall la aga'n
enacted Mr. Brjan will bo the unanimous
choice of the democrats In the three-ringed
circus while the popocrot.i are perspiring and
wrangling over a horJo of Impossible * candi
dates such as Clam Deaver , Oily Edmlsten ,
with Slippery Elm Hlhbard thrown In as a
former's friend candidate. Mr. Bryan will
mount the democratic platform and In nil
ot hln spreadcag'o orations ( not necessarily
copied or borrowed from Dick Bland In this
case ) ho will very graciously and goneroiuly
decline thn honor and In the Interest of
harmony and to In.iuro a democratic victory
be will suggest the name of Silas A. 'Hoi- '
comb as the only logical candidate on whom
the fusion forces can unite. Thla will bo a
rehearsal of Roman history , Illustrating
Caesar rejecting the kingly crown , and a
great bidding card for popocratlc support of
Mr. Bryan In 1900 ,
That Mr. Marot Is smooth no ono will
deny , but he will find that the political
methods ho learned from tbo democracy of
Missouri will not pan out In tbo populist
alato of Nebraska , and after next fall lie
can safely return to liU Missouri homo and
lot O3ino good Nebraska populist fill his place.

WASHINGTON , Feb. 11. The War depart
ment today made public ( ho advices received
from Captain I1. 11. Hay of the 'Eighth ' In
fantry , who was sent to Alaska to report
on conditions In the mining country.
The reports embrace a period running from
October 3 to November 3 , and are dated from
Clrclo City nnd Fort Yukon. They show
a very serious etato of affairs , that trouble
Is threatened at various places , and that
thcro Is serious danger at Bomo points of
lack of food , owing In a largo measure to the
failure of the transportation companies to
get sufficient supplies.
In a report dated Clrclo City , October 3 ,
Captain llay recommends that should the
government dcslro to establish a post on the
upper river , that the mouth of Mission or
American creek bo chosen ns the site , with
a sub-pool If necessary at Clrclo City. The
best Interests of the service , ho says , rc-
qulro permanent garrisons to bo located well
away from mining towns , so that the troops ,
If required to act , will not bo biased by
local Influence.
On the food question ho sayo :
The question of food here Is n very serloun
one , nnd the action of the North American
Trading nnd Transportation compr.ny Is
causing much frli'tlon. 1 use my best en-
deavora to reconcile nil differences pence-
ably , nnd get nil people who nro without
provisions down to Fort Yukon us soon na
possible , whcro thcro Is an abundance ot
food.
SITUATION IS CRITICAL.
I learn that whllo food Is scnrco In Dawson -
son City the miners In the outlying cnmps
nro fairly well supplied. The stores ( two )
nre selling vrry conservatively. The eating
IIOUSOH nro nil closed , save one. While I
consider the situation critical , I do not bc-
llove there will be any great less ot life
beyond that Incident to a climate BO rigor
ous ns this. That there will bo much suf
fering along the river and the trail owing
to the rashness nnd Ignorance of people
unaccustomed to this climate no well In
formed person hero will deny ; but there
Is nothing that should cause undue anxiety
or alarm among' people In the states who
have friends In this country.
There nre fabulous stories being circulated
and will be published about the prices paid
fir food. I have verified Instances where
$100 was paid for fifty pounds of Hour , but
such cases nro rare and were outside deals
and not the prevailing price.
A report dated Clrclo City , October G ,
deals with the subject of miners' meetings.
several of which Captain Ray witnessed nnd
noted their action. It shows that Captain
Ray was nblo to peisuade the men nt Clrclo
City to talto no more provisions than they
needed to save themselves from starvation ,
and 'that ' they agreed that the agent of the
company should open the company's store
house and check the stores landed by the
committee fiom the 'company's ' steamer , no
part of such stores to be removed without
cash payment nt thecompany's , own price.
On another occasion the trouble was duo
to 'tho fact that the/ / master of the Wearc
would not proceed to Fort Yukon with fifty
people belonging In Dawaon who had comedown
down as a volunteer crow at the request of

RADICAL STEPS ARE NEEDED.
Great Injury will result to the commercial
Interests along this great highway If somn
radical step-i are not taken to protect all
persons from such Interference with their
legitimate business. At the snme time there
should bo some power to force common car
riers to transport goods for any person of
fering. At the present neither of the trans
portation companies will transport n pound
of freight for other traders or private par
ties forcing1 all .people . coming1 Into the ter

MINERS MAKU THREATS.
A report dated Fort Yukon , October 20 ,
deals with Captain Ray's trip from Clrclo
City to Fort Yukon , ho having loft the
former place on the 12th Inst. and reached
the latter nfter a perilous trip. At Fort
Yukon about ICO people were found gathered
and there had been some threats ot taking
supplies by force. The report adds :
"Lieutenant Richardson , by prompt and
decided action had checked all turbulence ,
and by co-operating with the agents of
both companies had arranged that all desti
tutes should be fed. Those tiling to work
were to bo allowed to cut wood for the com
panies at $5 per cord , and when they had
earned sufficient money they should pay for
their supplies. The sick and Indigent should
bo fed without charge , and the bills for such
Issues to come to mo to bo submitted for
the action of congress. This action Is now
being taken.
"I 'o. k. ' the orders for all supplies which
the government Is to bo responsible for , and
will submit the total amounts when the
work Is ftnlnhed. Both agents have verbally
asked mo to take charge ot the caches ,
which I have refused to do for cogent rea
sons. I shall not 'force ' nn Issue , but shall
defend the caches from violence and pillage
ns they contain the only provisions this side
of Dawson , upon which many hundred people
ple are dependent for existence for the next
Bovon months. Should It como to fixing the
amount each shall receive I may then bo
compelled to take charge , ns I find there
are many lawless and turbulent characters
hero.
"I have gone over the stock and mrnlfesta
of both companies and find that both have
exaggerated the amount on hand here. The
people arriving hero all agree In stating
that the manageis of both companies urge
people to come here , stnt'ng ' ns nn Induce
ment that there was over 1,000 teas of pro
visions at this place , when , In fact , there
Is leas than 300 tons , and that badly
aborted , for Issue. With a ration of three
pouaila per day there can bo fed at this place
800 people until the 1st ot June , without
tea or coffee ,
MAY TAKE POSSESSION .
"I may bo placed In n position when I may
be compelled to take possession ot the
caches to save them from pillage and to
'usure an equitable distribution. Whatever
course I may be compelled to pursue , I trust
that the president nnd congress will sustain
me In what I deem to he the only right
course , situated as I am In using my best
endeavors to save American citizens from
starvation end death. "
Apparently Captain Ray left Fort Yukon
for a time , as mder date of that place of
November 1 ho says that since hla return
matters have a&sumcd n very serious aspect.
The Alaska Commercial company had a
cache of 200 tons four miles above Fort
Yukon and the North American Trading and
Transportation comprny a cache at Fort
Yukon. The Alaska company's ngent re
ported to him a meeting was being held to
further a movement to seize the company's
cache.
Ho adds : "I went up with Blr. Richard
son and soon after arriving there was waited
upon by a committee from a mlucrs * meetIng -
Ing who stated their demanda ; that there
wore seventy-five of them , and they de
manded they bo furnished on credit with
nn outfit ot provlslor.9 and clothing- for nlno
months. This llr. Davis , the agent , de
clined to do. I explained to them that I
would glvo orders on the stores for food to
feed the destitute , but as the companies
offered \vork at good wages the ablo-bodled
should accept It , and those having money
would bo allowed to purchase a reasonable
outfit ot provisions for the balance of the
year.
"I cnmo away without getting any definite
answer out of them , leaving Lieutenant
Richardson at the cache for the night. I
received a note from him saying he believed
they intended to attack the cache at 10 a.
m. the next day. I at1 once issued a notice ,
taklag possession of the cache nnd had it
posted that night on the door of the store
house and in all the companies , and early
next morning started from hero with twen
ty-five men volunteers. I could not arm
them efficiently , being able to raise only
ifivo rifles and a few pistols , so I deemed It
wleo not 'to ' take anything lUt pistols con
cealed.
RESOLVE TO ARREST RAY. '
"Soon after starting word came to mo
that they had passed n resolution to arrest
mo should I attempt to go to the cache.
When I arrived within cmo-half mile of the
cache I was met by one man ( Noblott ) , who
stated the miners wished to have mo como
to their camp to talk over the situation ,
which I declined to do.
"Ho then came out In his true colors and
said they had determined to prevent my
going forward by force , and at a signal from
him twenty-two men , armed with rifles ,
came out of the timber and covered the
party. Noblett said they had possession of
the cache. As Lieutenant Richardson was
there , and no I had not heard any firing , I
knew his statement was false and said so ,
at the same time starting on , and told them
they might open the fight If they wished to.
" 'Ho then said that cs conditions wcro
changed by my seizures of the stores , and
they were loth to disturb governmental
property , that If I would wait a few mo
ments ho would consult with the committee ,
and o-sked If I was still willing to feed the
destitute. I Elated my terms to feed the
destitute , and as long as the companies
would take wood they were to go to work
at the rate of $5 per cord , and If they could
not get work they would bo fed If possible
until the river opened ; 'that ' bona fide mln-
f-rn could obtain outfits provided they went
hi tho-field at onco.
"In a few moments ho ( Noblett ) returned
and said they accepted the terms , and I went
on to the cache where I forod between
thirty and forty men , who said they had
nothing cid I caused all to be fed. I have
hoisted the flag over the bulfdlaga and
placed a guard.
"This Is not a case of worthy destitute
minors. It la premeditated robbery , and
had they been able to got possession of
either Lieutenant Rlclmrdscn or iny.-elf the
cache would have born lost. A number of
very desperate and lawless characters have
boon forced out of Dawson , Northwest Ter
ritory ,
ARE ARMING THEMSELVES.
"There are quite n number ta the camp
near the ruche , and I learned today that
they have been quietly securing arms sinca
their arrival and mean mischief. I am se
curing all the arms aud ammunition I can ,
and shall move with caution end get mat
ters In such shape ns to bold the balance
of power. I am compelled to take the re
sponsibility to protect life and property and
to save M many lives AS possible In tbo
emergency.
"I inly hope the president ni ! congress
will sustain my actlrti and treat me with
charity should I be found In error.
"I believe mjr experience confirms my
opinion formed on my Journey In here , that
soma radical steps are necessary to give
protection to life and property next sum
mer , with the opening ot navigation , 1 am
still ot the opinion It should be a. military
government , with power to hunt to the death
the lawless element. "
Under date of November 2 Captain Ray
recommends that the government "tnko
steps to effectually chock Immigration to
this region ot all people who do not como
prepared with sufficient prmlslons to last
them for two years , "
The next day ho submits a recommenda
tion for .1 patrol pteawor to check the opera
tions of the lawless.
Accompanying the report Is a lettcn to
the adjutant general from { 'resident Wearo
and ( Manager Healy of the North American
Trading and Transportation company.

strong arm of the military : and a letter to
Captain Healy from Captain Ray advising
the company that It must take steps to
check the exodua down the river as far as
possible , that provisions nro short , amount
ing to lew than 300 tons , though the two
companies had estimated there wcro over

"I am A woman , therefore I can under *
stand women. "
This expression was made by Sarah Ilern
liardt. the world-famed actress , nfter creat
Ing ; a part In which the complex nature ot
woman WAS specially portrayed. Mmo. Hern-
hardt , pictured the character true to life nnil
her remark was In answer to a compll *
mcntary expression after her pronounced
success.
The expression was true. Women do un
derstand other women nnd their pleasure *
nnd troubles. They Know what they need.
Mrs. Annie Jonncss Miller organ this studr
early In llfo and has continued It ever since.
She Investigated the subject of appe-aranco
nnd the result was licr book "Physical
Hcauty nnd How to Obtain It. " She sttldloil
the subject of dressing and hns done much to
aid women In this Important nnd delightful
art. She studied the subject of Women' *
Physical Health nnd ns n result discovered
what she believes to bo thp proper moans of
constantly preserving It. In writing upon
this subject , pho said :
"It gives me pleasure to express my faith'
In the virtues of a well known discovery
which Is the only medicine I ever take or
recommend. Six years ago I received the
most pronounced benefit from Its use at n
time when suffering from mental overwork ,
nnd I have subsequr-nlly In my travels ns a
publlci lecturer recommended It to many
pi'oplo and personally Know of several cases
whcro It hns succeeded when the doctors
failed. This discovery Is Wnrner's Safe
Cure.
"Although I nm now n perfectly well
woman. 1 tnko several bottles of Safe Cure
every spring , believing In the ounce of pre
vention rather than the necessity for the
pound of cure , nnd In every Instance Safe
Cure has the effect to give new energy and
vitality to nil my poweis. "
Mrs. Miller's experience has been proven
trueIn millions of other Instances of women
who wcro suffering aiul unhappy and who by
mentis of this standard discovery are now In
the possession of perfect health and nro kept
so by n continued use of this grand prepara
