he family doctor brought her safely
ugh these troubles, but after the
fever Bright's Disease set in, and the
doctors gave her up. Her father tells
tfeSrest of the story:
“ We began to give her Dodd’s K id ­
ney Pills and after she had taken about
thp e and a half boxes, she was entire-
lyltnred. Now she is well as any child,

Dodd’ s Kidney Pills certainly

was so far into the chronic stage of
Bright’s Disease that we thought noth­

In 1894, during the month of Novem­
ber, the victorious Japanese army
marched down one of the two narrow
passes which lead through the sur­
rounding mountains to the city of Port
Arthur, captured the city, and put to
the sword many of the Inhabitants,
non-combatants as well as the mem­
bers o f the garrison. It was a bloody
day, though the Japanese officers
stopped the slaughter as quickly as
was possible.
For a time then Port Arthur was
apparently In the permanent possession
o f the Japanese, until the pressure of
the allied powers forced her to give
it back to the Chinese in January,
189Q. Before they marched out the
Japanese destroyed a large part of the
Chinese fortifications.
In 1898 Port Arthur was “ leased" to
Russia, which Immediately began to
fortify It, with the Intention o f mak­

vben the tide went out hundreds of
icres o f mud flats were exposed to
/lew.
In the valleys between the cliffs
were built some fifty or sixty miser­
able mud huts, and In them lived 300
or 400 Chinese coolies. That was the
situation up to 1800 in what is now
Port Arthur.
In that year three or four ships of
the British navy came that way on a
surveying expedition.
One o f these
ships was the gunboat Algerine, com­
manded by Lieut. William Arthur.
Lieut. Arthur daringly ran his vessel
In between the cliffs which guard the
harbor, which was thereupon named
Port Arthur In honor o f his exploit.
But beyond the name. Port Arthur
gained no new fame for another 20
years. In 1881 It was still merely a
convenient harbor Into which coasting
junks could run for safety when great
storms swept the seas outside. On the
cliffs and In the valleys thereabouts
there still lived only a few hundred
wretched Chinese coolies.
Then the great Celestial empire be­
gan to wake up. Foreign engineers
were sent along the coast to pick out
a safe harbor which might be fortified
and made the chief station for the new
and modern navy o f China. They set­
tled on Tort Arthur, and It was plan­
ned to transform the place Into an im­
mensely strong and completely fitted
naval station. Plans were drawn for
great dockyards, workshops, dry docks,
refitting basins and foundries, while
above them on the commanding cliffs
strong fortresses were to be erected.
The contracts for all this work were
let to French contractors, so that It
was France which first among the na­
tions had to do with this Gibraltar of
the far East. French contractors, with
the aid o f swarms of Chinese coolies,
working like slaves for 15 cents or 20
cents a day. worked for years on the
works in and about Port Arthur. Not
until 1891 was the place turned over
to China, ready for occupancy as a
great naval station.
By that time Port Arthur— Ita name­
sake already forgotten— had become a
fairly well built town, containing more
than 1,000 houses and shops, outside
o f the government works. It then had
a commercial population o f 6.000, to
say Dothlng of tho Chinese garrison of
7,000 or more soldiers. The forts were
mounted with modern guns, and Chi­
n e«« gunners were trained by German
and other foreign experts In th« ns*
o f tM artillery.

RHEUMATISM
AN I N D E S C R I B A B L E
TORTURE
Because Rheumatism sometimes comes on suddenly it doesn’t
prove that it is a chance disease or one due to accidental causes. It
takes time for it to develop, and is at work in the system long before
any symptoms are felt. T h e blood is tha first point o f attack, and
the poisonous acids that cause the aches and pains are then distrib­
uted through the circulation to different parts o f the system, and
settle in joints, muscles and nerves; and when the system is in this
condition it needs only some excitin g cause like exposure to night air,
damp, ch illy weather, or the cold, bleak winds o f winter, to arouse
the slumbering poisons and bring on Rheumatism. T h e severity
o f the attack depends upon the amount o f acid in the blood and the
Quantity ot acrid matter in the
joints and muscles. Some peo­ R H E U M A T I S M I N E L B O W S , W R I S T S
