! LONDON, April 11 (Wedncslay,
5 a. m.). But that fht war department
has issued ho news from Lord Roberts
during the last three days, there -would
be little disposition to place any cred
ence in the Boer reports of another
British disaster. The unexpected rally
ing of the Free State commandos, how
ever, leaves the public in a nervous
condition, dreading everything. Dis
patches from Pretoria, as late as Mon
day, did not mention any further Boer
victory. . On. the contrary, they said
all commandos were quiet, and as Lord
Roberts had hitherto never failed to
promptly report lischances as well as
srecesses, or to aiiow newspaper cor
respondents to report them until some
confirmation is received, there is justt
fieatioii for regarding Meerkatsfontein
rumor as only an exaggerated account
oi the Reggtrsburg affair. At t'he Mrac
time the Boer reports have so often
proved correct that the greateest an
xiety will be felt.
Th? Boer reports seem to indicate that
Lord Methuen is advancing from
BashoF toward Hoopstad. It is a bold
and apparently dangerous move, since,
although it turns the right flank of the
Boer position at Brandfort.-itputs Lord
Methvten's force between whatever gar
rison there may be at Bloemboef, in the
Transvaal and the Brandfort force.
The Boer peace commissioners, at
Naples, do not conceal the fact that
they have no'hope of obtaining peace,
with independence for the republics but
they will endeavor to save their attiour
propie, or to secure a truce for further
negotiations. Mr. Fischer says the
present Boer strength at "the ront is
of expansion as essential to our nation
al growth and greatness, and we believe
that the blessings which accrue to the
where ov.r flag is once established
should forever remain.
"We believe that the best interests of
our country will be subserved bynhei
re-election of Wm. McKinley as Prcsi- 1
dent, and the delegates to the next ra
tional convention, elected by this con
vertion," are hereby directed to vote for
his rcnomination."

Carlin played a gallant part in the
terrible time of the frreat Samoan wind
storm. On the morning of March 16.
1899, ships of the English. German and
American navies were in the port of
pia. 5 The storm" came swiftlv. anH
.found them ! unprepared to .meet it in
the sthallcw waters of the bay. Every
energy was lent toward getting to ihe
open sea. " ' Tbe Englishmen succeed
ed, and Englishmen and 'Americans
will remember always with a thrill how
the doomed American sailors cheered
the English vessel' as , she stood otit to
sea' and safety while they themselves
remained to face the fight of death.
That death came, quickly to many, and
in all 146 German and American offi
cers found their end that day.
Carlin was executive officer of the
Vandalia. 5 and ipracticaly in command
even before the death of Captain
Scoonmaker. The latter was an old
man, and so fleshy thaf be was unable
ro handle himself with ease. - He wis
killed and washed-overward in the eir
ly part of the storm, but not before his
executive officer had made a gallant
atemt to save him. The men bad bcW
ordered into the rigging as the only1
place of safety, and Carlin was abou$

IS there anything mor fiendish than the constant
c itching of the skin -which will not be quieted?
' Scratching is like trying to put out a fire with
turpentine it only adds fresh fuel to the flame. The
common cause; of skin irritation is found in a diseased
condition of j the blood. For this reason washes, lo
tions, ungnents, etc., though they may alleviate, can
not eradicate the disease. No medicine will Mcom,e
up to the scratch " which cannot cleanse the blood of
the humors and poisons which corrupt the health of
the whole body, j , ,
: "I COULD DO NOTHING BUT
y.J - l I SCRATCH;"
J. consider your,' Golden MedicaL Discovery one of the
best medicines on the face of the earth,'' writes William
Floeter, Esq. of Redoak, Montgomery Co., Iowa. While
in the south-west three years ago I got poisoned with poison
ivy. The poison settled itrtny blood and the horrors I suf
fered cannot be told in words. I thought I would go crazy.
I oould do nothing but scratch. I would go to sleep scratch
ing, would wake up in the morning and find myself scratch
ing. I scratched for eight months. Had it not been for
Golden Medical Discovery ' I would be scratching yet. I
tried different kinds of medicine tried different doctors
but all the relief they could give me was to make my
pocket-book lighter. I called on one of the leading doctors
in a western town. He charged me one dollar; drugs cost
two dollars and a half. If I had given that money p way I
would have been better off, for it did me no good. I then
began taking Ihf. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Took
fpuf bottles without any relief. Kept taking it. I took in
allten bottles and I got entirely.cured. I can say that if
people would take your medicine instead of fooling with
some of the quacks that infest the small and larger towns
The action bf Golden Medical Discovery w upon
the blood if marked in two ways : by purifying the
Mood and so removing the causes of , disease, and by
increasing tne quanucy as wen as improving tne
quality of thei blood. This increased supply of pure
blood, rich with the red corpuscles of health, carries
Medical Discovery with gratifying success, and she now
enjoys excellent health. ' This experience caused me to rec
ommend Dr. Pierce's medicines to my neighbors, who.
without exception, used them with favorable results. This
being true, I heartily endorse your medicines." ,
There are certain medicines which are offered as
Ifood-making medicines, but no medicine can make
a drop of blood. ; Blood is made from food.1 Blood
is the vital principle of the body. Strength is built
up from blood. Blood and strength are alike the
product of the food we eat. Take away a man's
food and you take away his life. Take away a
man's blooa and he dies. Give a man blood and you
give him strength. The great fact is that j life de
pends upon food, and on the ability of the stomach
and organs of digestion and nutrition to extract the
nourishment from the food and distribute to blood,
brain and bone, the salts, phosphates and lime they
live on. j -
' Golden Medical Discovery " cannot make a drop
of blood. It Can no more add to a man's strength
than tohis stature. What it can do and what it
does is to putt the stomach and organs of digestion
and nutrition into perfect, working order so that the
nourishment in, the food is extracted and assimilated
and made into blood and strength.
ITS WONDERFUL WAY.
"Three years afeo," writes Miss Jennie Swearingen, of 1056
Market Street, Parkersburg, West Va., "I was taken with
what our family physician called typhoid fever, and was sick
for seven or eigot weeks. My stomach was in a dreadful
condition and I could neither eat nor sleep. .For four weeks
I drank only ice-water. ' I 'was taken down in the same
manner the next year. I suffered for twoor three weeks,
and again last winter I began suffering with a pain in my
side. It kept getting worse and I had to have a doctor, and
he pronounced Jt a kind of malaria and Grippe. What I
sv.ffered I could never express to anyone. I could, eat hotb
iug; had to lie fiat on my back and could not rise from the
bed.. Everyone thought I could not live. I had to be cov
ered with mustard plasters and apply hot irons, etc.- I
new life to every organ of the body. Weak organs j bought two bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
are thus strengthened and are enabled to throw off ery and a vial of his 'Pellets. Took the medicines accord
the diseases which had fastened on them. In scrof- V3? to directions; and began to improve slowly. The u-ay it
ulous diseases the use of " Golden Medical Discov
ery " has time and again worked wonders, curing
sores, boils, eruptions, and other painful and dis
figuring diseases.
SIGHT ALMOST CONE.
. n My little daughter when I seventeen months old became
afflicted with scrofula,. which' affected her eyes," writes Mrs.
Agnes L. Duncan, of Mansfield, Sebastian Co., Ark. "She
could not bear the light for over a year. We tried to cure
her eyes, out nothing did any good. We had our home
physician, and, he advised us to take her to an oculist, as her
eyelids would have to be 'scraped.' They had become so
thick he thought she would never recover her sight. - AS
there was no one else to whom we could apply my heart
'sank within me. I went to your 'Common Sense Medical
Adviser,' read your treatment on scrofula, getting the prop
erties 6f medicines there advised. With five bottles of
Golden Medical Discovery ' I have entirely cured my
child."; . j "
Scrofula of the lungs is the other name for that
diseased condition of the lung tissues which, if neg
lected, or unskillfully treated, terminates in consump
tion. The many marvelous cures of "weak" lungs,
by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, are effected
along the same lines "as the cures of other forms of
scrofulous disease; by purifying the blood from poi
sonous substances- and increasing the activity of the
blood-makingj glands, so that the iilood, on which
every organ depends for vitality, is abundantly sup
plied to eacn dependent organ. .
A MINISTER'S EXPERIENCE.
"Regarding Ir. R. V. Pirce a distinguished prince among
physicians; and the medii ines you manufacture valuable re
medial agents,! I desire ti send you this brief, unsolicited
testimonial," writes Rev, Joseph H Fesperman, Barium
Springs, Iredell County,'; North Carolina. "In 1898, one of
my! daughters jwas suffering on account of a severe cough,
hectic' fever, wasting of Mesh and other symptoms of dis
eased lungs. ' promptly gave her Dr. R. V. Pierce's Golden
helped my stomach was just wonderful. I still continue the
use of the medicines, and now have taken not less than six
teen bottles of f ' Golden Medical Discovery and quite a
number of the vials of the Pellets.'
w For catarrh I have used six bottles of Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy, and am cured of that trouble also. I cannot say
nor write enough in praise of Dr. Pierce's medicines. I
know that no other medicine in the world could have bene
fited me in the way it has. I have had no bad spell of sick
ness since I began its use, and. I feel entirely well.";
The wide range of cures performed by Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery may be attributed to the
scientific method of the treatment which- cures
through the stomach diseases which have their origin
in a diseased condition of the stomach and the allied
organs of digestion and-nutrition. Blood is the 1 if i,
but blood is made from food, and the conversion of
food into nutrition depends upon the . health of the
stomach 'and its allied organs. "Golden Medical
D&covery" heals the stomach and so removes the
contaminating '? cause of the blood's impurity. It
increases the activity of the blood-making glands, so
that a stream of pure, rich blood is supplied, ade
quate to the nourishment of all the organs of the
body. It restores the lost appetite and builds up the
body w-ith sound flesh instead of flabby fat. It
induces restful, refreshing sleep, and brightens the
mental faculties in correspondence with thTe physical
restoration.' i j j ,

absolutely free from opium, cocaine, "chloral land all
