The myth runs that he was rendered invul nerable by being dipped in the river Styx in infancy, the heel by wmcn ne was held being the only part not submerged and there fore retain ing its mor tal weak- nM3A Everyone weak snot in his phy sical organism, and that weak spot is the ; invariable attacking point of disease. - No roan is stronger than that weakest - spot in him. We see great robust look - ing men go down like ninepins, at a touch of disease, and wonder at it It is simply the wound in the weak spot, - the vulnerable heel of Achilles. It is the office of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to build up the weak places, to strengthen the weak organs of the body. It does this on Nature's own plan of nourishment. Proper food prop erly assimilated makes a weak man strong. But the man is only an aggre gation of parts, so that the strong man means strength of all parts, heart, lungs, liver, nerves, etc. " Goiden Medical Discovery " puts into Nature's hands the material by which the stomach is strengthened, the blood purified, the , nerves nourished, the lungs vitalized. It makes the weak strong and the sick well. It contains no alcohol or other intoxicant. Mr. R. J. McKnight, of Cades, Wllllamtborg Co., 8.

Lon don has been confidently expecting to have news of the relief of Mafeking before, midnight, but at that hour the War Office stated that no further in telligence had been received of Hun ter's column, to which the public be lieved has been assigned the work of relieving the town. -- Beyond further details of the occu pation of Brandfort, little or no news has come during the night A dispatch from Thaba N'Chu, dated May 4th, says that the situation is prac tically unchanged, the Boers holding their position and sending occasional shells into the British camp. From the top of Thaba N'Chu hill one can see over the Boer camp. The coun try, through which a number of Boers are trekking, is exceedingly difficult It is learned that the Boers are trying to draw supplies from the Ladybrand district. The Seventeenth brigade has moved four miles south, presumably to assist General Brabant if necessary. A dis patch from Aliwal North, dated May 5th, says: "Three hundred captured cattle and horses were brought in last night The wounded are being grad ually moved here from Mafeking' A dispatch from Cape Town says: "The general feeling here, in which official circles participate, is -that Lord Roberts' advance towards Pretoria will be rapid. The Boer prisoners don't anticipate that any effective re sistance will be encountered." Anxiety is felt regarding the fate of Mr. Begbie, who has been arrested in connection with the blowing up of the shell factory at Pretoria. Consul Hay is watching the accused man's interests.

CHOLERA AND FAMINE 1 IN STRICKEN IND Pestilence and Misery Relief Measures Totally Inadequate Merely a Drop I In the Oceai By Cable to the Morning Star. London, May 6. The report that cholera is strengthening its deadly hold on famine stricken India brings the pitiful condition of that country more than ever to public view. About 93,500,000 persons, for this is the population of the district affected, are sweltering their existences away am id pestilence and misery that show no signs of abating. Hundreds of thous ands of pounds in good British gold, good German marks and American corn have been thrown into the coun try but judging from the latest ad vices all this charity is merely as a drop'in the oceans. The famine and its attendant com plications appear to exceed in viru lence any two previous visitations. The viceroy, Lord Curxon of Kedles ton, and the government are making most ceaseless exertions to meet the terrible emergency, but the stupendous difficulties confronting them prevent the present supplying of relief to more than five millions. In the mean time the States are dotted with heaps of dead and dying and the roads are crowded with ghastly bands seeking to escape from the stricken territories, but who, for lack of food and water, mostly succumb in the attempt Some of the most hopeless features of the whole affair are contained in the state ment of a special correspondent at Simla, who writes: "Ten times the total relief could be laid out in a single districts without fully relieving its distress. All we can hope for is a succession of good years to put the people on their legs again." The British districts are reported to be so far escaping the large starvation and mortality that mark the native states. But that their condition is not enviable is evident from the following description by a Bombay correspond-' ent of the scene at Ahmedabad, a city in the presidency of Bombay. "In the open space upwards of 200 were seated, old and young, being famine personified. The smell arising from their filthy rags was sickening and had attracted myriads of flies. Some, especially the old men, were bony frameworks. A girl, suckling two children, was ghastly to look at, but the little ones, with hollow temples, sunken eyes and cheeks, and the napes of their necks falling- in under their skulls, which seemed to overbalance their bodies, and with wisplike arms and legs, were more dreadful still. Many were suffering from disease and numbers had the fever. Those who could work were sent on where tanks were being dug. Others were given a meal and passed on to the poor house." This picture is from a less seriously affected part of the country. The sufferings in the remoter districts. where the famine is severe, where all the cattle have long since died, where the water is precious and where cholera has now added its dread scourge, can well be imagined. WRECKED OFF HATTER AS. Schooner Hettls J. Dormau, from Swans boro, N. C Crew Saved. By Telegraph to the Horning Star. Cape Henbt, Va., May 5. The Weather Bureau observer at Hatteras, N. C, reports that the three-masted schooner Hettis J. Dorman, from Swansboro, ' N. C, while beating through the outer channel of Diamond shoals, struck a submerged wreck, and aank immediately. The vessel was sighted by Captain Etheridge of the Cape Hatteras life saving station, who immediately put out with the station lifeboat and suc ceeded in savin c the crew of five men. After striking the wreck the Dorman continued to float with decks under. and when last seen was drifting off about east northeast with the current across the shoals. Owing to her light draught it is thought she will drift out into the open sea. The crew is being cared for at the Cape Hatteras uie saving station, xne vessel is a total loss.
