Discovery of a Strange Race,

A little colony of American aboriginos,, who are believed to be a remnant of those

ancient cliff dwellers who built their hute in giddy precipices in Arizona and New Mexico, have been discovered in the' mountain fastpessor at Maguarichic, in the Bierra Madre. According to the Mexican Herald, this strange race was recently discovered by one Ben a Good, a miner of- Maguarichic, who says that the people" are small and swarthy, and entirely different from the Tarahumarts Indians and Mexicans of that section. Their mode" of life is extremely primitive, and they are very timid, avoiding contact with other people. They will molest no one unless their houses or property are disturbed, and then they will fight. Their arms are bows, and Arrows. When o stranger shows up among them they flee t+ their dwellings or the brush. They cultivate small patches of beans and corn in the canons and valleys near their homes. Their language is entirely different from any

ANY so-called women's complaints can be traced to disorders of the liver, stomach and bowels. A woman's work is more or less sedentary; she does not get the fresh air, the exercise, or the regular hours of rest that a man does, so that the liver becomes sluggish, the system does not get the rest it needs, and there is not a regular motion of the bowels. Constipa tion is one of the worst dangers a woman has to fear, and the longer it is neglectod; the more deeply rooted it becomes The bowels are swollen and enlarged, thus displacing members of the female organiani, and causing stomach pains, difficulty in breathing, windy spasms, headachet vomit- ing, a feeling of fulness after meals, blood. lessness, etc. But men who are constipated suffer from these same symptoms, so that it cannot be female trouble. when the constipation is cured, the distressing com- plaints will quickly disappear. Doan's INSPECTION Dinner Pills give tone and new vigour, to the muscular walls of the colon and soften the mass of waste matter, so that the bowels act naturally, and discharge the clogging impurities. A box of Doan's Dinner Pills should always be kept in the house and dose taken when the bowele have been inactive, or whenever food disagrees, or when there is a feeling of heaviness and discomfort in the region of the stomach. This medicine is purely vegetable, and perfectly harmless for mon or womon, young and old.

The sufferer from 'habitual' constipa. tion should take a regular walk every day,. drink plenty of pure water, and breathe deeply, not only while Doan's Dinner Pills are being used, but afterwards, then no return of the disorder need be feared.

Doan's Dinner Pills are the best medicine for biliousness, indigestion, constipation, for headache, retching, dizziness, "distress after eating, poor appetite, yellow eyes, heartburn, wind, and for every liver,. stomach and bowel trouble.-
