" VOLUME LXXXL_NO . 14. SAN FRANCISCO, MONDAY M ORNING, DECEMBER 14, 1896. PRICE FIVE CENTS. CUBA MAD CONGRESS Maceo’s Murder May Cause Prompt Recognition of Patriots. INDIGNATION OVER THE ASSASSINATION. Brave Men in This Country Are Willing to Fight the Cruel . Spaniards. RECRUITING OFFICES RECZIVE MANY APPLICANTS. l Minister de Loms Asks Amoricans to Suspend Judgment Until After an Investigation. WASHINGTONs D. C., Dec. 13.—Little else was discussed in Washington among diplomats and politicians beyond the tragic death of the insurgent general, Maceo. The sentiment here among all classes is decidedly with the insurgents, and expressions of svmpathy were heard on all sides for the uliimate success of the Cuban cause. Tle subject ot Maceo's death will be brought up in Congress to- morrow, most probably in the Senate, where several resolutions recognizing an belligerancy are pending. It is difficult to bring the subject up there n in the House, where the rules restrict airman Hitt of the House Foreign Af- fairs Committee was not in & position to- 1ght, he said, to discuss the subject of Maceo’s death. The news was too con- fliciing and 1ndefinite, and he was in favor of waiting until the details of the circum, stances, assuming that Maceo is dead, are received through United States official channels. Mr. Hitt, because of his promi- nent position, is cautious, and he voices thie general sentiment of the conservative element of both parties. There is in both branches of Congress a large number who are ready to recognize Cuban belligerency, whether the Maceo incident proves correct or not. Senator RBlanchard of Louisiana represents this element when he declared to-night that he was ready at any time to vote for a resolution recognizing the beiligerency of the Cubans, or, better still, their inde- pendence. Senator Plattof Connecticut said that the mendacious character of the news from Cuba of the past six months and its utter unreliableness, prevented him from in advance expressing any opinion of official information confirming Maceo's death. *“Nobody knows,” he declared, “whether Masceo is dead or alive; how he met his death or any of the estential details upon which to base an intelligent opinion, and until I do I will not speak as to what ought to be done or indicate how I will act.” Senator Thurston of Nebraska said he would vote to enter the protest of this Government against thec manner of war- fare being carried on in Cuba, and Mec- Millan of Ternessee and Berry of Ken- tucky favored some action by the Govern- ment which would show to the world that the United States did nct stand idly by and by its silence approve of the methods of the Spanish Government against Cuba. It is not helieved that a resoiution to in- vestigate the manner in which Meceo met his death will be offered in Congress. Even Cuban sympathizers do not think such a matter is within the power of this Government, as Maceo is a Spanish sub- ject and his death, if dead, occurred on Spanish? soil, but it will be within the province of the United States Consul-Gen- eral at Havana to institute such inquiries and for Congress to call for and act upon his report. The matter will doubtless take this course. et S INTENSE INDIG VATION, Maceo’s Murder Causes Muany Men to Volunteer to Fight Spain. CHICAGO, ILL., Dec. 13.—The circum- stances attending the death of Com- mander Maceo of the Cuban army bave aroused a feeling of intense indignation in this city. The stories published in the morning papers were discussed at the various clubs and hotels and the opinion was almost unanimous that Congress would take summary action during the coming week. All agreed that the assa<- sination of Maceo would do Spain more harm than goed. Edward F. Cragin, chairman of the Cuban Relief Committee of this city, said to-night: *If this news of Maceo’s death is correct the effect will be to-ruin the | cause of Spain. Maceo in death will ac- complish more than in life. This treach- erous, cold-blooded, diabolical murder places the Spaniards below the Cubans and removes the last vestige of reason why we should consider Spanish feelings. The conservative spirit will not be strong enough to hold Americans back. “The vote in Congress where there were only sixteen in the negative wasa fair in- dication of the feeling then, but during the yeer that has passed that feeling has been growing more and more intense. We may never know just what wers the per- suasions used by the Spaniards or what was the motive of Maceo of going into their hands 10 confer with them and thus trust to their honor. Icannot think of anything unless it was President Cleve- \'M)\i’s message, as I can conceive of no nessage of the Spanish Government that vouid receive any attention from him, but if the Spaniards shoula have repre- seated to him that the President of the United States wanted the war to cease, and had suggested that there migkt be some way 1o bring it about so that the honor of Spain could be maintained, and at the same time satisfactory terms could be made with Cuba and peace be secured, Lcan see how such an argument might influence him. I hope that one result of this outrage will be that we will no more hear of the much-talked-oi pride and honor of the Spaniards. Senator Cotlum painted a pretty dark picture, but he would have painted a darker one had he known of this treacherous murder.” ST. LOUIS, Mo., Dec. 13.—Upon receipt of the news in this city by the United A - sociated Presses of the circumstances of Maceo’s death a wave of public indigna- tion arose. It is the absorbing topic of discussion wherever men gather, and the treachery of the Spanish general is con- demnea in the strongest language. Itis well known that St. Louis is the western derot of the Cuban Junta, and inquiries pour in upon every one supposad to be connected with the Cuban cause as to the means of enlisting in the Cuban army. COLUMBUS, Onio, Dec. 13.—A Cuban insurgent recruiting office has been opened at the Grand Central Hotel here. man in charge of the office seems Lo have plenty of money. He is engaging non- commissioned officers of the Seventeenth Regiment, United States army, located here as they are discharged on the expira- tion of their terms of enlistment, paying them $50 per month. A detachment of ten will leave here next week, going by way of New Orleans. PLEA OF MINISTEEK DE LOME. Asks the amervican People to Suspend Their Judgmnent. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 13.—The Spanish Minister, Mr. Dupuy de Lome, expressed the hope to-day that the Amer- ican people will suspend judgment regard- ing the reported assassination of Maceo tntil the real facts are known. He ridi- culed the statement that the Vice Captain- General, Ahumada, could be a party to such an occurrence, and believes that there are a suflicient number of reputable cor- respondents in Havana to investigate these charges fairly and publish the re- | sult. The statements of the Junta, which, | he says, bear the stamp of absurdity upon their face, are made to neutralize the effect | of the President’s' message and to create | sympathy with their failing cause. “We have been accused repeatedly,’’ he said. “‘of circulating the report of Maceo's death to affect the action of Congress. It s quite reasonable to assume that Maceo is known to be dead; that the Junta is originating reports of his death by treach- ery for the same reason —_—————— AGAIN ENTER THE WILL FIELD, Weyler Does Not Want Assistant Assas- sins to Get All the Glory. HAVANA, Cusa, Dec. 13.—Official ad- vices from the province of Pinar de! Rio are to the effect that Colonel Feijoo, act- ing under orders from Captain-General Weyler, left Campo Florida, near Havana, on Fridayand wentin search of the rebels, under Aguirre, Castillo, Arangnren and other leaders. The insurgents, compris- ing 1200 cavslry, were found at La Luz ranche ana were attacked and defeated. The Spanish troops pursued them and several fights occurred at other points, in which the rebels were mvariably defeated. Ia all these encounters the rebels lost seven killed and four wounded. On Saturday Colonel Feijoo’s command met a body of rebels at Tumba Cuatro and dislodged them from their positions. The insurgents leit eleven dead on the field and carried many wounded with them on their retreat. The Spanish !0ss was nine- teen wounded. The Havana Volunteers organized a grand torch-light procession and unarmed demonstration in honor of General Wey- ler to-night. Large crowds were out to witness the demonstration. The paraders, who were accompanied by several banas of music, marched through the principal streets and then proceeded to the palace where a great crowd had assembled. General Weyler was most enthusiastically cheered, and there were many cries of ‘*‘Long live the King,” *Long live Spain,” and other patriotic phrases. A number of speeches were made in which the speakers expressed the greatest loyalty to crown and country and urged their hearers to lay down their lives if necessary for the honor of Spain. All the speakers were cheered to the ecto. After the speeches the demonstration ended. General Weyler will relurn to the province of Pinar del Rio this week. Lo TEXAMS MEAN BUSINESS. They Faror Cuban Independence and Way With Spain 1f Necessary. DALL Tex., Dec. 13.—Two thou- sand persons assembled in mass meeting at the city hall to-day and organized the Cuban Aid Association of Dallas, More than 40) men put their names on the roll of “active” membership. Andrew Jackson Houston, a son of dam Houston, the Texas liberator, presided. Strong speeches in favor of Cuban inde- pendence and war with Spain, if neces- sary, were made and resolutions indors- ing the position of United States Senaior Mills, as stated i his recent resolutions in Congress, were adopted ; also a resolu- | tion deploring the death of General An- | tonio Maceo. Copies of the proceedings were ordered sent to Tomas Estrada Palma, New York City, the Texas delegations in both houses of Congress and both branches of the State Legislature. The wildest enthusiasm was shown dur- ing the proceedings. The association ad- journed until to-morrow night. Many letters and telegrams were received from prominent Cubans and Cuban sympa- thizers in and out of Tex:s, and many telegrams were sent out after adjourn- ment. CINCINNATI, Onro, Dec. 13.—There is but one sentiment in this country regard- ing the assassination of General Maceo. Indignation is freely and emphatically expressed whenever and wherever the matter is discussed, and there has been some talk of a mass-meeting for the pur- pose of giving public expression regarding the killing of Macec, and formulating a petition asking that the United States recognize the belligerency of Cuaban in- surgents. Maceo's assassination is re- garded as a violation of the rules of war- fare. . ——— OVERHAULED THE VAMOOUSE, RBut the Treasury Officials Did Not Find A rma for Cubans, WILMINGTON, N. C., Dec. 13.—Col- lector W. R. Kenan of this port has re- ceived a telegram from the Treasury De- partment, Washington, D. C., stating t: at information had been received there that the yachbt Vamoose, which airived here Friday, was loaded with arms and muni- tions of war for the Cuban insurgents, &nd instructing Collector Kenan to maXke in- vestigation and report.

The Va- moose sailed at noon for Key West, Fla., and the Captain said would probably stop at Charieston and other places aloug the coast. el nlE NOW EULOGIZES MACEO. But Weyler Did Not #'revent the Brutal Assassination. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 13 —The Her- ald’s special cabie di-patch from Havana gives the following account of an inter- view with General Weyler on Saturday | Aight: “What ¢an you say of President Cleve- Jand’s message?” 1 asked. “Nothing—absolutely nothing. I am a military man—not a politician. I can only say I have no feeling against Mr. Cleveland or any other Pre-ident,’” I asked Captain-General Weyler to ex- press an opinion regarding Antonio Ma- ceo. He said: “Maceo was a brave man and, I thought, a great general until the Pinar del Rio campaign. To-day I believe him to have been a brave man of great prestige, a fighter all through and a man who cannot be replaced by the Insurgents—in fact he was their main stay—and Gomez, who is an old man, would not have come to Cuba at all except for Maceo.” Speaking again of Maceo General Weyler said he regarded the rebel leader as the most apt person of the insurrection, and he added: I weni to Pinar del Rio my- self to cope with him and thought he would await me in his position, which he did not.” The general added that Maceo was dead beyond doubt. —_——— WATCHING THE® LAURADA, Great Excitement in Spain Over the Fili- buster’s Expected Arrival. LONDON, ExG., Dec. 13.—The Morning Post to-morrow will print a statement by the Reute'rs Telegram Company that the vessel si:naled off Valencis, Spain, vester- day, was not the ex-filibuster Laurada. The vessel is not expected to arrive at Valencia until Monday. der consignee has aisclaimed her cargo. If this statement is true it furnished an effective denial to a dispatch alleged to have been sent from Madrid to the Chi- cago Associated Press denying the dis- patches of the United Associated Presses that the Laurada intended to call at Valen- cia after sailing from Messina. Reuter’s Telegram Company is appar ently not aware of the fact that the Chi- cago Associated Press, which in a way represents the former concern in the United States, had emphatically denied the truth of the United Associated Presses dispatches and had explained that the Valencia referred to was Valencia, Venezu- ela, and not Valencia, Spain. Otherwiss the British concern would not now say that the Laurada was not expected at Valencia, Spain, until Monday night and that her consignee had refused to accept the responsibility for her cargo. As a matter of fact the Madrid dispatch of the Chicago Associated Press, or the greater portion of it, was not sent from Madrid, orif it was it was expanded in New York to suit the end which the Chicago Asso- ciated Press had in view—that is, to deny the truth of the news it is not in a posi- tion to cover. VALENCIA, Srarx, Dec. 13.—A mistake was made in reading the signals displayed by a vessel which arrived off this port yes- terday and as a result it was announced that the notorious filibustering steamer Laurada, which has carried men and arms to Cuba to aid the insurgents, was coming into port from Messina, whither she had gone on a regular voyage. The statement that such a vessel would come intoa Span- ish port aroused much indignation, as was cabled at the time to the United Asso- ciat:d Presses. The report caused the greatest excitement among the populace and it was feared that if she came into the barbor an attack would be made upon her. The hnfe of police and military was in- creased in order to suppress any overt act against a vessal under the American flag. The crniser Marie Theresa arrivea here to re-enforce the coast guard vessels, which will keep a close watch upon the Laurada | when she arrives. The authorities have decided not to for- bid the Laurada entering the harbor. She will be allowed to enter the portand anchor alongside a warship, but will not be permitted to approack the wharves for the purpose of landing. Much satisfaction has been afforded the Spanish Govern- ment by the action of the Washington | Government in advising the captain of the Laurada not to insist upon taking a cargo on board at Valencia or othe Spanish ports. The excitement over the expected arrival of the steamer is very high to-day, and it is now thought that no international complications will follow, et TREACHERY OF SPANIARDS, Instancss of Their Tactios After the Ten Years' War. Y JACKSBONVILLE, Fra., Dec. 13.—The Cubans of this city will to-morrow night hold a torchlight procession and mass- meeting of citizens to express their indig- nation at the murder of General Maceo and the methods of warfare practiced by the Spaniards under General Weyler in Cuba. Speeches will be made by promi- nent Americans as well as by Cubans. Joaquin Fortune, the president of El Circulo Cubana and one of the representa- tives of the junta in Fiorida, said to-day: “The cowardly murder of gallant Maceo by the Spaniards does not go very far to prove the splendid patriotism and chiv- alry of the Spaniards mentioned in the President’s message.” : He gave several instances of Spanish treachery during the last tenlyears’ war in Cuba and recalled that when Generals Jose Maceo, Guillermo, Moncada and Quentin PBandera celebrated a treaty of peace with Spain in 1878 they were promised that if they laid down their arms they and their families would be permitted to embark for Santiago de Cuba and the Government would pay their pas- sage to any country they wished to go. They embarked, but all were immediately put in chains and sent to African prisons. —_——— Not War but Assassination. BOSTON, Mass., Dec. 13.—Rear-Admiral Belknap, retired, of Brookline, in an in- terview on the assassination of Maceo, said to-day that he never heard of a more cowardly act, that it was not war but assassination; that the United States and every civilized nation should interfere, and that Congress would probably act on the matter on Monday, which would not be too soon. RAINES LAW VIOLATORS, They Are Vigorously Scored at a Meeting of the Temperance Union. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 13.—At a meeting of the American Temperance Union, which was held in Chickering Hall and at which Rev. Dr. C. H. Mead, president of the union, presidea, Rev. Dr. L J. Funk, editor of the Voice, denounced the Raines iaw, Senator Raines, city offi- cials and police officers of this city and Brooklyn and charged officers appointed under the Raines law with neglectaf duty. He demanded the dismissal of some of the officials, especially ot Commissioner of Police Wells of Brooklyn, who, he said, should be sent to the penitentiary for trading off law for votes. Dr. Funk said in part: “Itis a gross trifling witn the public. Itis a roaring farce for Senator Raines and his committee to come here and ask whether the Raines law has been violated and why it has not been enforced. That law has been violated on all sides ever since it has been put in force, with the knowledge of Senator Raines, with the knowledge of every newspaper man in the State, with the guilty knowledge of the police, the Saperintendent of Buildings of New York and Brookiyn and with the guilty knowledge of the District Attorneys and most inex cusabie of ali the officers ap- pointed under law to see its enforee- ment.” ¥ A report from inspeciors of the union showing violation of law and order in this city was read.

Their Information Led to the Gathering of Oificers at San Diego. One of Detective Gard’s Force D:- c'ares That the Fugitive Is Located. SAN DIEGO, Car, Dec.. 13.—Sheriff Lyndon of Santa ‘Clara County arrived here to-night and registered at the Thorn- ton House under an assumed name. He was met by George E. Gard, ex-United States Marshal, who has been here since yesterday. They conferred-for a long time to-night and refused to befinterviewed. Mr. Gard said he had nothing to add to what he told TiE CALL correspondent last night, which was that he was ona “Quien Sabe case’’ which would turn out big if it turned out anything. Though Mr. Gard is very close-mouthed, as an officer shou!d be, a local officer who has been working with himis not so shrewd. From him while he was drinking with a few friends enough was learned to givea good ideaof whatthe officers are after. Word was received from the San Rafael Valley, Lower California, three weeks ago that a stranger, supposed to be Dunham, the Campbell murderer, had been seen at a camp in the mountain. San Rafael is about 150 miles south of here, in a thinly settled portion. of the peninsula. The stranger first attracted attention to himseif by showing 100 much concern for the people who approached. He came out of his cabin and scrutinized ev erybody, and was never seen without a rifle. His face resembled Dunham’s, ex- cept that he was smooth shaven. Two weeks ago the man disappeared and was afterward seen on his way north, riding a mule. He told persons whom he met that he was prospecting. He was un- communicative and had a suspicious man- ner that attracted attention. That was the last seen of him, so far as known here, nnless the officers have received later word, which is doubtless the case. £ About the time that the stranger was seen on the mountain side a couple of Mexicans told an American, who was in Tower California hunting, that they had seen Dunham. They had worked for him on his bee ranch at Dulzura and knew him well. They said he was hiding down there, and paid an occasional visit to his ranch, always in the night. They thought he went to meet some one there. Adjoining the ranch on the eastern end is a long, deep canyon, which cuts soutn- ward and extends for several miles, beav- ily covered by underbrush. Thiscanyon was thoroughly explored by the officers last July. Marshal Gard was one of the party at that time. The canyon rums from the ranch as far south as the Mexi- can line, and even a short distance into Mexico. This has been regarded by the officers as an ideal hiding-place, and a number of them have held that sooner or later Dunham would be found in that vi- cinity, on account of his intimate knowl- edge of the country and the handiness of the Mexican border. - In addition to these facts, it was learned to-day that a person alieged to be a younger brother of Dunham was here last week. He paid a visit to the ranch. Officers fol- lowed every step he took, and failed to find anything suspicious about his move- ments; but they believe that he might have sent werd somehow to his outlawed brother and that the ranch might be a rendezvous where the fugitive could find money or provisions when hard pushed. Itis these points that have led to the meeting of Marshal Gard, 8heriff Lyndon and local officers in thiscity. The utmost secrecy is being observed by all but one, and bis talk, if it reaches Gard’s ears, will end his connection with the hunt. The intention cf the party, it is believed, is to locate the man suspected to be Dunham and get a view of him if possible. Then, if his hiding-place is below the line, Mexican aid must be enlisted, as the kidnaping business would not be toleratea by either Government. The chaseis ex- ceedingly delicate from the fact that the talk of $20,000 reward hasstirred up every one to fever heat, and somebody is likely to - inadverteitly put Danbam on his guard. The officer whogave away all that has been learned so far said to-night: “We're after big game. There is $10,000 in it, and we’ll get him alive or dead. He may get one of us, but we are too many for him. We’ve zot him located all right and he'll be there when we go after him. There is no mistake about the man, either, because he is known. here like a book.” e gt e SUSPECT AKRESTED AT SILAO. Belioved by Guadolijara Officers to Be Fugitive Dunham. SAN JOSE. CAL., Dec. 12.—Sheriff Lyn- don lelt this city yesterday, and it is pre- sumed that he left for the south, but no information in that connection could be obtained at the Sheriff’s office. The depu- ties refused to discuss the matter, but it was lesrned from outside sources that the Sheriff’s errand is to follow up a supposed clew as to the whereabouts of James C. Dunham, the murderer of the McGlincy family. 1t is probable that Sheriff Lyndon’s des- tination is the State of Guadalajara, Mex- ico. There is a well-anthenticated story that a man said to be Dunham was ar- rested by a police agent at Silao, Mexico, a few weeks ago. The suspect had an assumed name and was keeping himself in hidirg in his hotel as much as possible. The ofticers of Silao had pictures of Dun- ham and several of them were positive that the prisoner was the Campbell mur- derer, but the police chief, for some un- known reason, ordered the release of the suspect. The supposed murderer imme- diately left Silao and started for Guadala- jara. Efforts to have the suspect again appre- hended have been unavailing, as the Mexican Government has issued a circular warning that no arrests shall be made on the recommendation of police agents unless authorized by the Minister of For- eign Affairs. It is believed that Sheriff Lyndon has received imformation as to the suspect’s present whereabouts and has gone to Mexico after Lim. ol e ek BOGGS IN TACOMA'S JAIL. The Ex-Treasurer Brought Back From Spokane in Charge of a Sheriff. TACOMA, Wasn., Dec. 13.—George W. Boggs, ex-City Treasurer of Tacoma, re- turned to-day from Spokane in the cus- tody ot Sheriff Parker, who had apparently forgotten that Boggs promised when he went away to return any time that Parker wired for him. Boggs endeavored to keep his word, and was trying to securs trans. portation home when the Sheriff met him Friday on the street at Spokane. Boggs seems as happy and jolly as ever. He does not act like one expeoting to spend six years at hard labor in the Walla Walla prison, but he says: “I am here to obey the court’s man- dates and if they say ‘go to Walla Walla,’ why, I go. Of course I had rather stay here, but the sooner this is over the bet- ter.” He was taken to the County Jail this afternoon and there met his attorneys and several friends, who called to tell him to brace up. The ex-Treasurer did not need this advice, for K of the entire group he seemed the most unconcerned. His attorneys are Judge Fremont Camp- betl and L. C. Dennis.. To-day it wasan- nounced that they will ask the Supreme Court to rehear the case on which its re- cent decision that Boggs must go fo prison was based. Failing in this they will mage efforts in a different direction to keep h m out of Walla Walla. HE BET FOR "LONGGREEN" An Examiner Reporter ‘Wagered a Large Sum on Sharkey. PLAYED IN AMOUNTS. SMALL The Agefit His Been Andy Lawrence’s Man Friday for Years Past. POOLROCMS3 VISITED JUST BE- FORE THE FIGHT. This Sime Man Brought Earp to “Long Green” to Be Engag:d as a Bodrguard. The career of Long Green Lawrence of the Examiner is now freeiy discussed, apropos of the disreputable part he piayed in the Sharkey-Fitzsimmons fight. Facts are coming to light day by day ihat show beyond all question that Fitzsimmons was jobbeéd in the fightand that the manag- ing editor of the Examiner was deeply implicsted in the plot. Wyatt Earp was appeointed referee of the Fitzsimmons-Sharkey fight at tue di- rect instance of Andy M. Lawreuce, bet- ter known as “Long Green,”” erstwhile peanut butcher and now managing editor of Mr. Hearst’s Examiner. In the first flush after tLedecision Mr. Gibbs admitted this. He unquestionably told the truth then, and his subsequent evasion was the result of an enforced interview 1n the Iix- aminer editorial rooms, in which he was warned not to admit the truth again at the peril of his reputation and the lash of the journalistic bully on Mission street. There are many people—prominent in every walk of life—who know what it means to be “invited” to visit the journal- istic Czar. Many prouad and spirited men have gone thither defiantiy and gone out crushed and crestfallen. The smallest blow-hole in a man’s armor is sufficient to make him bend to the wishes of that newspaper. When the Examiner wants anything it sends for a man, and shen it sends for bim it usunally has a disreputable way of convincing him that he was wrong in his previous preferences and that the bully of Mission street is right. So came Gibbs, the otber half of the National Athletic Club, the day of the fight,1n the after- noon. He went away convinced that Wyatt Earp ought to be the referee ot the tizbt; that he must be the referee. He was the referee. To the better under- standing of the peculiar selection of Mra Earp, THE CALL is able to give a little in- side- history, antedating the fight, but serving as a connecting link, as significant as it is indisputanle. The story goes back to last summer, when Dave Neagle made his assault on James H. Barry, the editor of the Btar. The Examiner denounced Neagle’s conduct. His character was painted in colors deep and red and the hiring of “a paid assassin” was an act held up to the scorn and the loathing of the people. The regders of Tue CaLn will bring to mind the pictures which bubbled out ali over the Examiner about that time. The main point at issue was the hiring as a paid guard a man whose chief recom- mendation rested on the facf that he was *a killer.” The honesty and consistency of the Ex- aminer is beautifully illustrated by the sequel. The tyranny of the Mission-s'reet bully is hedged about by cowardice. The den which he occupies is provided with intrie N NEW TO-D. Doctors’ l‘li_s_takes. TREATING THE WRONG DISEASE. How large bills are run up without benefit to the sufferer. . Many times women call on their family gysicmns, suffering, as they imagine, one m dyspepsia, another from nervous dis- ease, another from liver or kidney disease, another with pain here and there, and in this way they all present alike to them- selves and their easy-going, indiffcrent, or over-busy doctors, separate and distinct dis- eases, for which they prescribe their pills and potions, assuming them to be such, when, in reality, they are all only symploms caused by some womb disease. The physi- cian ignorant of the cause of suffering, en- courages his practice until large bills are made. The suffering patient gets no better, but probably worse, by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complica- tions. A proper medicine, like Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, directed to the causc would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dispelling all those distressing symptoms, and_instituting comfort instez of prolonged misery. It has been well said, that “a disease known is half cured.” Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is a scientific medicine, carefully compounded by an_experienced and skillful physician, and adapted to woman’s delicate organiza- tion. It cures all derangements, irregu- larities and weaknesses of the womanly organs. Itis purely vegetable in its com- sition and perfectly harmless in its ef- fects i an\y condition of the system. For morning sickness, or nausea, due to preg- nancy, weak stomach, and kindred symp- toms, its use, will prove very beneficial. It also makes childbirth easy by preparing the system for parturition, thus assisting Nature and shortening *‘labor.” The period of confinement is also greatly shortened, the mother strengthened and built up, and an abundant secration of nourishment for the.child promoted.
