Bottled Up!
Whether in the form of pill powdei
or liquid, the doctor’s prescription foi
blood diseases is always the same—
mercury or potash. These drugs bottle
up the poison and dry it up in the
system, but they als> dry up the marrow
In the bones at the same time.
The suppleness and elasticity of the
Joints give way to a stiffness, the rack
ing pains of rheumatism. The form
gradually bends, the bones ache, while
decrepitude and helplessness prema
turely take possession of the body, and
it is but a short step to a pair o!
crutches. Then comes falling o!
the hair and decay of the bohes,—a con
iition truly horrible.

WR E A KING REVE NG E
Outrage By a Lower Class Os
Natives In Porto Rico.
San Juan, Porto Rico, Sept, 17.
—More depredation are reported
to have occurred m the neighbor
hood of Utuado. Several Span ah
haciendas and cafeteles have been
burned and two Spanish planters
killed . These outrages are attrib
uted to the lower classes of the
natives, actuated by a spirit of re
venge, and alawless gang of brig
ands which has been operating
near Cialee .
The Spanish planters fear for
their lives and are extremely
anxious that the Americans should
cbtain control in order to afford
them protection, as the United
States is powerless now to preserve
order in places within Spanish
fnes.
Upon petition of practically ai'
of the residents of Utuado, Gen.
Henry has displaced the old al cade
and appointed Senor Ramiars
Martinas, who has inaugurated an
American regime and has held an
election for all municipal offices.
J ■ RHM
MAY -‘DISCIPLINE” TEXANS
They Refused Their Pay From A
Colored Paymastr.
Washington, Sept 17. —Paymas*
ter Gen. Stanton has turned over
to the President all the papers re
lating to the recent unpleasant
ness growing out of the refusal of
a Texas regiment to receive pay
from Maj. Lynch because he is
colored.
The President has taken no de
finite action beyond expressing ap
proval of Gen . Stanton’s course
in sending a sharp dispatch the to
commanding paymaster of that de
partment siateing in effect that
as Maj. Lynch had been regularly
commissioned by the President as
an army paymaster, the troops
must take their pay from him or
else go without pay.
Thus the matter stands, with
i the papers before the President.
There is the possibility that a new
question may arise on the point
of insubordination in refusing to
receive pay from paymasters re
gularly commissioned to make
payments.
