From ihc Aci, llutchinton, Kan.
One of the best known men in Hutchin
son, Kan., becauso oao of the early settlors,
is Mr. George Shears, a contractor ami
brick and stone mason of twenty years
Htnuding in our midst. In conversation with
the writora few days sluee, Mr. Shcarssald :
"I have been a resident of this city for
over twenty years, during which time, gen
erally speaking, I have had exceptionally
good health, superintending tho direction of
many of tho best business blocks in Hutch
inson, and feeling at all times a deep in
terest In tho growth of tho city. Itistruo
that during this period ot time I have seen
many 'tired seasons, but it wua not until
about two years ago that I ilrst realized the
horrors of rheumatism. I was taken down
by this dread malady and so strong was its
hold upon mo that until a short timo ago I
was uuablo to take oft or put on my now
shoes, and had to bo assisted ia putting on
and taking off my clothing, as well as getting
out of or into my buggy.
'About a year ago I was attacked with
kidney trouble, and this, together with my
rhoumatism, nutdo life most unbearable. A
few weeks ago, after many unsuccessful
trials with local physicians to obtain relief,
1 stonped into tho A and A Drag Ktoro and
asked for tho best iiicdlciuo at their com
mand for rheumatism and kidney troublo.
Dr. Ardery, the bond prescription clerk, sug
gested that I try Dr. Williams Pink Pills
for Palo People. I purchased onobox, took
them homo and with many misgivings bo
gnu taking them according to directions. I
might add ia this connection that my wlfo
who has also been ailing from kldnoy
troublo for it few years began taking tho
pills at tho saino time I did.
"I am a man of few words, ns all of my
friends know, and do not desire to sav any
thing for any man, company or medicine
that I do not mean, but I will sny this for
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I am so far de
lighted with tho uso of these pills, and my
wife attests tho statement, that I to-day
bought two more boxes, and whereas llfo
was n burden before, and I was compelled
to have assistance nearly all tho timo botli
day and night I have lost nil symptoms of
rheumatism, can walk as lively tis I could
twenty years ngo, my kidneys tiro as actlvo
and natural as they over were, and I llrmlv
bollcvo that i am n cured man andthntl
Owe It all VO Pr, Williams' Pink Pills for
Palo People.
"Tho pills I got to-day aro for tho purposo
of keeping them in my family and when
ailments such as wo have been heir to for
some timo past befall us we slnll resort to
Pink Pills, feeling that tboy will do all that
is claimed for them. There is nothing in
this statement but what my family und my
neighbors and many citizens of Hutchinson
know to be trno, and I give them to you
thinking possibly some oilier poor sufferer
may profit by my experience and bo made
almost as good ns now again by the use of
these little wonders. '

BIG AND GOOD.
PLsUG
Sometimes quality is sacrificed in the
effort to give big quantity for little money.
No doubt about that.
But once in a while it isn't.
For instance, there's " BATTLE AX."
The piece is bigger than you ever saw
before for 5 cents. And the quality is, as
many a man has said, " mighty good."
Tnere's no guess work in this statement.
It is just a plain fact.
You can prove it by investing 5 cents
in " BATTLE AX."
