From a Pastor
"I nm the pastor of tho Baptist Church at
Tort Jervis, N. V., and sometimes am called
upon to tako part in evangelistic work away
from liome. JNot long
ago I went to Sandy
Creek, N. Y which is
swept by the damp
winds from Lake On
tario. Hcrolcontracted
a bad cough, and be
came so hoarse that I
could hardly
preach to my
congregation.
It was not only
distressing in a
bodily sense,
but extremely
cmbarrussingto
enter tho pulpit
in this condi
tion. I had
heard of Aek-
cr'B English Bomody and, after service, I
bought a bottle and began taking it. Tho next
night my throat was nearly well, and I deliv
ered my sermon without dlflieulty. In a few
days I was thoroughly cured. I conceive it to
be my duty to benefit mankind physically as
well as Hplrituully whenever I can, and am
glad to wrllo theso words In praise of thi
grand old medicine. Those- with sonsltivo
throatsand thoso who catch cold easily should
certainly tako Aokor's English Remedy."

STYNER, THE
ELECTRIC DOCTOR
Talks to the Ladies.
My experience has taught me that
ladies who Buffer with diseases peculiar
is their sex dread a visit to the doctor's
office, knowing that they will be sub
jected to examinations and local treat
ments that to them is more embarrass
ing than their weak, delicate conditions,
and that for theso reasons they endure
in silence. These facts came to me when
I first began my profession and caused
me to search for and at last discover a
reliable Bystem of ascertaining the cor
rect condition of every organ in the
female anatomy by Electrical Elood
Curnlation and neive reading, thus dis
carding the old mode of diagnosis. New
discoveries are always doubted and crit
icised. But if you wish to convince
yourself that my claims for electrical
disease readings are just, call on me at
my ofliee. I will describe your every
ailment to you without asking a question
better tiian you could describe them to
a friend. My proprietary treatment can
be used at your own home, by yourself,
without detention from your household
duties. Working girls and others can
use my system without neglecting their
labors. Call and find out for yourself.

MORE TRAINS
BLOWN UP
Burghers arc Determined and Insist
This Time That the Settlement
Must be Conclusive.
London, Oct. 14 The Exchange Tel
egraph Company received a dispatch
from Cape Town dated this morning
saying the Boers have blown up another
armored train carrying telegraph opera
tors from Mafeking. The Boers, it is
reported, have seized a railroad station
north of Fourteen streams, between
Vreyburg and Kimberley. Fighting is
still continuing in the neighborhood.
According to dispatches from the front,
the Boers have made several attacks
upon Mafekinr, all of which have been
repulsed. In connection with the ru
mored attack upon Mafeking, a dis
quieting report comes from Pretoria to
the effect that the Lichtenburg and Mari
co commands have crossed the border
and entered the Rooigrond territory
between Lichtenburg and Mafeking,
blowing up a bridge over the Maloppo
river and destroying a trainload of dyna
mite and the track. As Mafeking de
pends upon Rooigrond for its water sup
ply, the significance of this move is
evident.
A dispatch from Pretoria dated Oct.
14 says: "General Koch wires from
Natal border that his command has oc
cupied Boluhas pass and also captured
the railway station."
Latest reports from Vreyburg say the
armored train that was destroyed at
Kraaipan contained, in addition to Nes
bitt's force, a number of workmen and
six residents of Marigogo, south of Mafe
king, who, on hearing of tho Boer ad
vance, took refuge in the train.
The following dispatch from Lidy
smitli has been received at the war office:
"Sir George Stewart White went in
tho direction of Vaureemau's pass at 3
a. m. (Friday) but failed to draw the
Boers to the pass. He returned to Lady
smith, where ho is new. No engage
ment occurred."
On the 10th of December, 1897, Rev.

B.iye: "After lesorting to a number of
so called 'specifics,' usually kept in the
