In trou ble with Spain we would not need her help.” Senator Lodge said: “We can not fight with her or for her bnt there are many ways in which ou moral support and influence could be exercised in an effective man ner. I doubt whether anything will ever come of the proposition. Senator Cullom: “vVhilo we would be glad if England gave us her sympathy, we do not need her aid.” INJUNCTION SUIT. - Gordon Lee Files Bill Against H. F- Stone of New Jersey.

The use of the Burgeon’s knife is be coming so general, resulting fatally in such a large number of cases, as to occasion general alarm. Mr. William Walpole, of Walshtown, South Dakota, writes; “About three years ago, there came under my left eye a little blotch about the size of a small pea. It grew rapidly,and n shooting pains ran m bi every direction. W . .jjr I became alarmed > x ax, d consulted a z T-. Bfczjgl good doctor, who ZjJL pronounced it can- llifflCßte’xcer, and said that it nlllst be cut out. PIfXX / This I would not ‘\W' J consent to, having little faith in the indiscriminate use of the knife. Read ing of the many cures made by S. S. S., I determined to give that medicine a trial, and after I had taken it a few days, the cancer became irritated and began to discharge. This after awhile ceased, leaving a small scab, which finally dropped off, and only a healthy little scar remained to mark the place where the destroyer had held full sway.
