I am a farmer looted near Stony Brook, one of the most malarious 4Bstricts in this State, and was bothered with malaria for years, at times bo I could not work, and was always very constipated as well. For years I had malaria so bad in the spring, when engaged in plowing, that I could do nothing but shake. 1 must have taken about a barrel of quinine pills besides do/ ns of other remedies, but p**ver obtained •ny permanent benefit. La-d fall, in peach time, I had a most serious attack of f n c nrnenced to take Ripans Tabules, upon a frieod’s advice, and the first box made me all right and I have never 'been without them since. I t ike one Tabule each morning and night aand sometimes when I feel more than usually exhausted 1 take three in <* day. They have kept my stomach sweet, my bowels regular and I 'have not had the least touch of malaria nor splitting headache since 1 commenced using them. 1 know also that I sleep better and wake up more refreshed than formerly. 1 don’t know how many complaints Ripans Tabules will help, but 1 do know they will cure any one in the condition I was and ! would not be without them at any price. I honestly consider them the cheapest-priced medicine in the world, as they are also the most beneficial and the most convenient to take. I am twenty-seven years of age and have worked hard all my life, the same as most farmers, both early and late and in all kinds ol weather, and l have never enjoyed such good health as 1 have since last fall; in fact, my neighbors have all remarked my improved condition and have said, “ Say, John, what are you doing to look so healthy ?” WAN (BIX—A urn e of bad health thu*.

General Young’s soldiers, who are pursuing Aguinaldo, are shoeless and are often compelled to go hungry. They are keeping up the chase. Gen. Otis reported that “organized rebellion in Luzon was at an end.” Unotlleial advices were that the gueril la warfare would be continued. A Filipino band of guerrillas re cently captured in Luzon will be shot or hanged, it is expected, and other guerrillas may share the same fate. The members of General Brooke’s advisory cabinet tendered t.heir resig nations. but were asked to remain in office until the arrival of General Wood. General Otis notified the war de partment that the transports City of Sydney and Pathan with the forty sixth infantry volunteers arrived at Manila. No casualties. The cabinet considered petitions from Porto Ricans urging early action iii the matter of the government of the island. The president will probably send a special message to congress. The news of the appointment of Major General Wood as governor of Cuba was received with enthusiasm. Even the most bitter Cuban national ists agree in praising him as a soldier and an administrator.

The Hermes is the sixth vessel which has left that port with mules for the English army in south Africa. The foreign press regards the Britain’s crisis as grave, possibly por tending a dissolution of the empire. The Parisian press is gleeful, the Austrian sympathetic, and the German unusually reserved. There is little talk of interference or of an attempt to take advantage of the situation. The British determined upon heroic measures to end the war.
