AN IMPORTANT CASE

Patient Cured of Ataxia Gives the Entire Credit to Dr. Willianuf Pink Pills. Mrs. S. C. Wellock, of 114 Cleveland Avenue, Everett, Mass., the wife of an employe in the government works at Chelsea, shys; “I had been troubled with nervousness for ten years and the disease kept growing on me. Then I learned that I was suffering from locomot-or ataxia. I had terrible tremblings in my right leg which would get rigid and when this happened in the street I nad to stand still until it passed away to keep from falling. My right arm felt as if a thousand needles were pricking, it. JPhe jsheet touching my knee in bed would nearly cause me to scream out with pain and both knees were so weak I could hardly “I had to use a cane and be helped about by my son. Then the pain began to settle in the calves of mjr legs and the muscles became numb and quivered constantly. The cords under my knees seemed to be drawn up tight and the terrible scooting pains In my legs would, nearly drive me insane. My toes became numb and at times would prickle as if needles were being thrust into them. My eyes became dull and black, spots floated before them. My heart was very weak. “My attention was called to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and I bought several boxes right away and soon felt relief. I was so pleased that I kept on taking them until they cured me entirely, and I have had no symptoms of the trouble for over a year.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by all druggists or sent, postpaid,, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y, A booklet, entitled “Nervous Disorders,” sent free on request.

With an Eye to the Future.

Sheridan was about to start on his twenty-mile ride to Winchester. “I could do it quicker in an automobile, of course,” he said, “but that would knock the poem into the middle of the next war.” Pausing just long enough to permit the young man with the camera to take a snapshot of him, he dashed the rowels into his steed and was off like an arrow.

WORK Of CONGRESS

.The Senate devoted its two and a half hours’ session Thursday to the further discussion of President Roosevelt's order dismissing the negro troops of the Twen-ty-fifth infantry for. “shooting up” Brownsvije, Texas. Senator Culberson of that State defended the order, closing with an impassioned statement of the position of the South on the negro question. Senator Foraker replied briefly, urging speedy action on his resolution for an investigation. Senator Lodge proposed an amendment admitting the President’s authority as commander in chief of the. army to take the action he did. On motion of Senator Hale the resolution was given the-right of way the following Monday. Adjournment to Monday was taken. Immediately after the approval of the journal in the House the credentials of W. F. Englebright of the First California district to fill a vacancy eaused by the resignation of James Norris Gillett. and Charles G. Washburn of the Third Massachusetts District, vice Rockwood Hoar, deceased, were read, and these two gentlemen proceeded to the bar, where the Speaker administered the oath. No quorum being present and no committees being ready to report, adjournment was then taken until Friday, after a fifteen minutes’ session.

The Senate was not in session Friday. The “omnibus” claims bill, so-called, carrying appropriations for claims under the Bowman and Tucker acts, and miscellaneous claims on which favorable reports have been made by the war claims committee, was before the House, and for nearly five hours the merits of the measure were exploited. Speaker Cannon announced the appointment of Engelbright of California to a place on the committee on mines and mining, viee Williamson of Oregon, removed. The Speaker based action on the ground that Williamson had failed to attend a single session of the Fifty-ninth Congress. He has been convicted of participation in land frauds in Oregon.

National Capital Notes. Senator Lodge introduced a bill to improve the consular service by filling the higher positions by promotion from the lower grades. The sword of John Paul Jones now rests in the library of the Navy Department, where it has been placed by Commander Reginald Nicholson. The last bid for government land in the Kiowa and Comanche reservation, known as the “big pasture,” was received. The total number is 7,621. With a view to securing action at the present session, Senator Beveridge re-in-troduced his general child labor bill as an amendment to the District of Columbia child labor bill. Senator —Rayner gave notice that he would ask the Senate to consider resolutions commemorating the life and character of the late Senator Arthur Pue Gorman on Saturday, Jan. 26. Minister Rockhill has cabled the State Department from Pekin that by agreement with Russia the Chinese government Will open to international residence and trade Jan. 14 next the cities of Kirin, Manchurie and Harbin. L. Klopsch, editor of the Christian Herald, was the first to subscribe funds for the relief of the starving Chinese in response to the President’s message, sending $5,000 to be expended by the American Red Cross in China. The most important engineering problem of the present day affecting marine propulsion is that of the steam turbine, according to the report of Rear Admiral C. W. Rae, chief of the bureau of steam engineering, inst made public. The condition of the famine sufferers in China is worse than at first supposed, according to reports from consuls, and the matter was brought to the attention of the cabinet at the instance cf the American National Red Cross.

Ambassador Thompson has as-vised the State Department that President Diaz of Mexico has taken prompt action toward remedying the damage to property in the Imperial valley as the rjsult of the overflow of the Colorado liver into Salton Sink. Delegations representing the eastern rye whisky distillers and the blendets of New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Massachusetts and New Hampshire were given a hearing by Secretary Wilson of the Department of Agriculture and Dr. Wiley, chief of tlie bureau of chemistry, as to the regulations respecting the labeling of their products under Uie new pure food law.. _ The Jamestown exposition commission met in the office of Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Edwards to receive a report from President I. W. Johnson and Director General G. B. Jackson of the N’egro Development Exposition Company as to what is being done to prepare an exhibition of negro progress. The commissioners were not satisfied with the situation.

Withdrawal of all restrictions upon the issue of $5 notes by national banks is proposed in a bill introduced by Representative Fowler of New Jersey, chairman of the committee on currency. There is frequent complaint of inability to obtain sufficient small notes and at present national banks are restricted so that they cannot take out more than one-third of their circulation in $5 notes. Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock declared that his withdrawal of 4.000,000 acres belonging to the five civilized tribes, which was criticised by a Senate committee, will stand unless the investigation now in progress shows that he exceeded his authority. The War Department has issued a circular to recruiting officers urging redoubled efforts to secure then to fill vacancies in the army. Itvs said a great many men refuse to re-enlist because of the lock of a canteen, while the general prosperity and labor scarcity keep away new recruits.

The Knock-out Blow.

The blow which knocked out Corbett was a revelation to the prize fighters. From the earliest days of the ring the knock-ont blow was aimed for the Jaw, the temple or the jugular vein. Stomach punches were thrown In to worry and weary the fighter, but If a scientific man had told one of the old fighters that the * most vulnerable spbt was the region of the stomach, he’d have laughed at him for an ignoramus. Dr. Pierce is bringing home to the public a parallel fact; that thq stomach Is the most vulnerable organ out of\be pr)M ring as well as In It, We proteetpur hahtis, throats, feet and lungs, but the»db«KihJvVwe are utterly Indifferent to, until the solar plexus and knocks US outT Make your stomach sound and string byTW use.ol_ljqct'dr Pierye’s .Golden, MedicaT Discovery, anfl vonprotechyoiSscirTirvour mos t_"v uTnt? able spot. “Golden Medical Discovery * cures "weak stomach," Indigestion, or dyspepsia, torpid liver, bad, thin and impure blood and other diseases of the organs of digestion and nutrition.

The First Dancers.

People have danced for thousands of years, and will probably continue to do so for ages to come. This custom is of ancient origin. .The first people to dance were the Curetes, who adopted dancing as a mark of rejoicing in 1543 B. C. In early times the Greeks combined dancing with the drama, and in 22 B. C. pantomimic dances were introduced on the Roman stage. At the discovery of America, the American Indians were holding their religious, martial and cial dances.

Since using four boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills the bloating has gone down and the feelings of distress have disappeared.” Sold by all dealers. {>o cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

Ancient Coffins.

The coffins of the ancient Egyptians were made of marble and stone. The Romans used similar receptacles for their dead, and Alexander the Great Is said to have been buried in a coffin of solid gold. In parts of England glass coffins have been found. The Athenian heroes were buried In coffins made of cedar, owing to Its aromatic and incorruptible qualities, while the first record of wooden coffins in England dates back to the days of King Arthur. This monarch was supposed to have been buried in the hollowed trunk of a gigantic oak. Patent coffins were Invented in 1796, and metallic air tight coffins were advertised at Birmingham in 1861.

In Trouble Again.

Mr. Makinbrakes, who had been urged to stay for luncheon, was trying to make a graceful getaway. “Awfully sorry,” he said, “and ever so much obliged, but I couldn’t think of it. It’s a lot of bother to have people drop in on you unexpectedly and to feel that you’ve got to invite .them to stay and eat with you—er- —just to be polite, you know —I mean that it’s always a lot of bother for me, of course, particularly when—when it happens to be somebody that you don’t care for, anyhow—speaking of myself, you understand-—or perhaps I should say I don’t mean myself in this particular case —well, anyhow, I have an engagement, besides, or it would afford me great pleasure, I assure you, to —to—well, good afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Varney.”

Taken at the Flood.

Noah was superintending the stowing away of the animals in the ark. “I don't want to get into trouble with the humane society,” he said, “but this live stock has got to stand a little closer together; that’s all thfcre is about that.” Keenly realizing, besides, that an ark shortage was worse than a car shortage, he thanked heaven that there was no interstate commerce commission to meddle with his transportation business, and proceeded to turn one of the two giraffes end for end to economize space.—Chicago Tribune.

TYLER’S FEASTS.

Vlr*tnlan’s Dinners Were Fit .for m ■ , King. President Tyler’s dinners were, on a large scale, tho.se of a wealthy Virginia planter, and as the greater part of the provisions came from his own plantation at Greenway Court, they tickled the palates of the most exacting epicure. He employed a negro cook from his old home, one who knew how to do to a -turn fried chicken and to shave off the delicious pink slices of baked ham. These hams, says the Home Magazine, were considered the, finest that ever graced a table, and the' Virginia porkers of to-day, famed the world over, might well pride themselvea on their no.ble ancestry, that were as carefully prepared for the table as a thoroughbred horse for a race. For six nfbnths they were let run wild In the oak woods to feed off seems;

supplemented by. a little corn In the morning and evening. When they were in their second autumn they were turned into, the cornfield after the harvest, then let run in the loosely harvested fields of black-eyed peas, after which they were fed on selected com until shortly before the holidays, when they were killed, then smoked for several months by hickory chips, finally rubbed down well with moist brown sugar. Rivals of these hams at the Tyler Table were the fine oysters from around Hampton roads, choice game in season, and all the rich products of tidewater Virginia, the most abundant country on earth. The Tylers were hearty eaters, tlicir breakfasts being as substantial as many others’ dinners, and it was their delight to ask the passing visitor to these 8 o’clock meals.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering It through the- mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians ,as the damage they will do Is tenfold to the good you can. possibly derive from them. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, 0., contains no mercury, and Is taken Internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. In buying Hall’s Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine. It is taken Internally and made In Toledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co. Testimonials free. Sold by Druggists. Price, 75c per bottle. Take Hall’s Family Pills for constipation.

Delicacy of Frenchmen

Undoubtedly Frenchmen have tlie most Tlellcate way of expressing themselves,” said a New York young woman to a group of friends at tea. “I have just had the oddest little encounter with a man wfio looked as If he had just arrived here, his clo.thes were so unmistakably Parisian. I was. walking in Broadway when I saw him coming. To my surprise, as he was a stranger to me, he stopped, put his heels together and, taking off his hat, made a low bow-. ‘Pardon, mademoiselle,’ saifl he, ‘your beneath skirt ’descends.’ Making again the same elaborate bow, he passed on. I looked do,wn and saw that my silk petticoat was showing just a little below the outside skirt. Had an American man noticed it, he would have felt embarrassment about mentioning it; or, if he had the courage, he never would have been able to think of such a delicate way of making that bit oT a misfit known to me.” —New York Press.

Barbers Ages Ago.

The first barbers of whom there is any record plied their trade in Greece in the fifth century B. C. In Rome the first barbers operated in the third century B. C. In olden times in England the barber and the physician were identical. Thus, a king’s barber was also his chief medical adviser. In the time of Henry VIII. of England, laws were made concerning barbers, of which the following is an extract; “No person occupying a shaving or barbery in London shall use any surgery, letting of blood or other matter, except the drawing of teeth.”

NEVER TIRES

Of the Food that Restored Her to Health. “My food was killing me and I didn’t know the cause,” writes a Colo, young lady: “For two years I was thin and sickly, suffering from indigestion and inflammatory rheumatism. “I had tried different kinds of diet, plain living, and many of the remedies recommended, but got no better. “Finally, about five years ago, mother suggested that I try Grape-Nuts, and I began at once, eating it with a little cream or milk. A change for the better began at once. “To-day I am well and am gaining weight and strength all the time. I’ve gained 10 pounds in the last five weeA'S and do not suffer any more from Indigestion and the rheumatism Is all gone. “I know It is to Grape-Nuts alone that I owe my restored health. I still eat the food twice a day and uever tire of it.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. "

The flavor of Grape-N'uts is peculiar to itself. It is neutral, not too sweet and has an agreeable, healthful quality that never grows tiresome. One of the sources of rheumatism Is from overloading the system with acid material, the result of Imperfect digestion and assimilation. As soon as improper food is abandoned and Grape-Nuts is taken regularly, digestion is made strong, the organs do their work of building up good red blood cells and of carrying away the excess of disease-making material from the sy stem. The result is a Certain and steady return to normal health and mental activity. “There’s a reason.” Read the little book, “The Road to WellviUe,” In pits*.

What isPe-ru-na? Is it a Catarrh Remedy, or a Tonic, or is it Both? Some people call Pertuia a great tonic. Others refer to Peruna as a great catarrh remedy. „ k Which of these people are right? Is it more proper to call Penrna A catarrh remedy than to call it a tonic? Our reply is, that Peruna is both a tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed, there can be no effectual catarrh remedy that is not also a tonic. In order to thoroughly relieve any case of catarrh, a remedy must not only have a specific action on the mucous membranes affected by the catarrh, but it must have a general tonic action en the nervous system. Catarrh, even in persons who are otherwise strong, is a weakened condition of some mucous membrane. There must be something to strengthen the circulation, to give tone to the arteries, and raise the vital forces. Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the world has attracted so much attention, from medical writers as HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS. The wonderful efficacy of this herb has been recognized many years, and it growing in its hold upon the medical profession. When joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a trio of medical agents is formed in Peruna which constitutes a specific remedy for catarrh that in the present stats of medical progress cannot be improved upon. This action reinforced by such renowned tonics as COLLINSONIA CANADENSIS, CORYDALIS FORMOSA and CEDRON SEED, ought to make this compound an ideal remedy for catarrh in all itb stages and locations in the body. From a theoretical standpoint, therefore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The use of Peruna, confirms this opinion. Numberless testimonials from every quarter of the earth furnish ample evidence that this judgment is not over enthusiastic. When practical experience confirms a well-grounded theory the result is a truth that cannot be shaken.

Slcln Disease from Birth—Fortune Spent on Her "Without BenefitDoctor Cured Her with Cutlcura. “I have a cousin in Rockingham County, who once had a skin disease from her birth until she was six years of age. Her father had spent a fortune on her to get her cured and none of the treatments did her any good. Old Dr. G suggested that he try the Cuticura Remedies, which he did. When he commenced to use it the child was almost a solid scab. He had used it about two months and the child was well. I was there when they commenced to use your Cutienra Remedies. I stayed that week and then, returned home and stayed two weeks and then went back and stayed with them two weeks longer, and when I went home I could hardly believe she was the same child. Her skin was as soft as a baby’s without a scar on it. I have not seen her in seventeen years, but I have heard from her and the last time I heard from her she was well. Mrs. W. P. Ingle, Burlington, N. C., June 167 T905.’”

Safe, Sure and Speedy.

No external remedy ever yet devised has so" fully and unquestionably met these three prime conditions as successfully as Allcock’s Plasters. They are safe because they eontaip no deleterious drugs and are manufactured upon scientific principles of medicine. They are sure because nothing goes into them except ingredients which are exactly adapted to the purpor-jes for which a plaster is required. They are speedy in their action because their medicinal qualities go right to their work of relieving pain and restoring the natural and healthy performance of the functions of muscles, nerves and skin. ' Allcock’s Plasters are the original and genuine porous plasters and like most meritorious articles have been extensively imitated, therefore always make «ure and get the genuine Alleock’s.
