Many tales of suffering

none has been more impressive
its statements of miseries
incredible than the one told of in
letter addressed to a former
and a dear friend in this city, by
woman whose life is devoted to
service of God and humanity,

Consul General Lee, before he
sailed yesterday, readily proferred
1 his aid, and promised to send the
letter, with his endorsement, to
President McKinley. The letter
is dated Havana, October 25 and
is as follows :

of destruction. Capt. Gen. Wey

thousands, without exaggeration,
by the compulsory law of concen

place. There are over a thousand

How to Cure Bilious Colie.
I suffered for weeks with colic and
pains in my stomach caused by bilious¬
ness and had to take medicine all the
while until I used Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy which
cured me. I t.ave since recommended
it to a good many people. Mrs. F. But¬

are subject to bilious colic can ward off
the attack by taking this remedy as
soon as the first symptoms appear. Sold
