HORRORS OF PHILIPPINE WAR.
Tales come to us of the sufferings en
dured by our brave soldiers in the Phil

we hear nothing, who are Just ag brave.
They are suffering silently and fighting
hravelv with the greatest enemy of
mankind-Dyspepsia and all Its terrible
Ills. There Is relief for them If they will
