LAXJtkAUJtUUlN^ii 1, * NERVOUSNESS. Blindfolded, Could Count llTerjr 8tMi When Welkins Aero Ml n Carpet. - From the Capital, Sedalia.Mo. There is probably no one belief known In Sedalia, especially among lliu members of the First Baptist Chmvh, than Mrs. Mollie K Roe, the wife of Mr. Hoe, the nursery* man, ami nothing Is better known among the lady’s acquaintances, than that for the past four years she has been a physical wreck from locomotor ataxia, in Its severest form. That sho has recently recovered her health, strength and normal locomotion has been made appur j,: t by her being seen fre quently or. the streets anil in cuurch, and tuis fact induced a representative of the Capital to call on Mrs. Hoe to enquire into the circumstances of her reuiarkuDie recov ery. Mrs. lion was scon at her house at the corner of Ohio Avenue ami Twenty-fourth Street, nod seemed only too glad to give the folio wing elite ry of her ease lor publication: •• Four your., ago,” she said, •• 1 was at , incited with a disease which the physicians diaguoscU as locomotor ataxia, und 1 was speedily reduced to n mere wreck. 1 had no control of my muscles, aud could not lilt the least thing.' My flesh disappeared,until my bones almost pierced my skin. The sense of touch became so exquisitely sensitive,that I bvlicvo 1 could liy wulking over tlie softest carpet blind folded,have counted every seam, so it may be imagined how 1 felt when try ing to inovo my uncontrollable limbs. ■•The most eminent physicians were con sulted, hut they gave me uq relief, and I was without hope, and would have prayed for deutli but for the thought qf leaving my little children. All thought of recovery had cone, anil it was only looked upon as a question of time by my husband and my friends when my troubles would end in the grave. “One day while in this condition, I re ceived a newspaper from some friends in Denver,with a news item marked,and while reading it my eyes fell u|>ou an account of a remarkable cure of locomotor ataxia, by the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and the easeas described was exact ly similar to my own. 1 at once made npmy mind to try the remedy, and began accord ing to directions to take tue pilis. The first box had not gone when I experienced a marked improvement, and as I continued 1 grew better and better, until 1 was totally cured. I took about four boxes in all, and after two years of the most bitter suffering was as well as 1 ever was. Not only my feelings but my appearance underwent a change. I gained flesh, and though now forty-three years old, I feel like a young girl. You can say that Mrs. Roe owes her recovery to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and that she knows that there is nothing in the wnrld lilrA t.hpm Mollis B.

Fortunately for his content these as pirations were of the kind that are most often realized. He had a hand some wife and three bright children; lie was president of the state bank, an institution known to be foundM on the rock of sound finance; he had fceon mayor of Shewanee and was a member of the legislature. So much of earthly glory had fallen to his share. When he read the obituary of another self-made man he always nodded his head sagely hs much-as to say: "I know how It goes; I started with nothing myself.” In fact Mr. Jane way’s election to the legislature came ; of the admiration the electors had for a man of the people. When his con stltuents hired a band and went to con gratulate him they found Him ready with a speech. He Bald: “Fellow-Citi zens, I will not try to hide from you my deep gratification at the result of the election. I w&nted to be elected— I have wanted a good many things and I’ve generally got them. But not with out working. I started with nothing— I did chores for my keep, I went to school when I could, I picked up a penny here and a penny there; I did any honest work that I could find. And where am 1 now? President of a bank, ex-mayor and member of the legisla ture. I thank you, friends, for your votes, yet I feel that I have won my own way; that I am one, a private, perhaps, in the great army of self- i cr.fl5 ren.” H? bowed ?r.1 retired aiuia toad applause, in „oiner, im speech would have provoked criticism, but one of the privileges of the self made man is to praise his maker with out stint. Mr. and Mrs.'Janeway had-just come from a visit to their new house, which their architect assured them was in the purest style df the gothic renaissance. But they were sure, too, which seemed to them of far more importance, that it was the finest house in town and quite eclipsed Mrs. Morgan's red-brick mansion. They were to move into it at once and Mrs. Jaaeway went about the old house planning what should be left be hind, as not coming up to the artistic standard of the new pjace. “Come here a minute, Madison,” she called from an obscure entry back of the dining room. Mr. Janeway laid down his paper and I went to her, followed by Florry, their youngest chili. “What Is it, my dear?" he asked. "Hadn’t we better pack this away— the frame's so shabby that it isn’t fit for the new house?” She pointed to a faded photograph, hanging in a dark corner. It was the likeness of a plain woman, with a broad mouth and eyes widely separated; the hair was parted and drawn baca from the forehead like two curtains; a watch-chain picked out in gilt encircled her neck and her lips and cheeks were touched with carmine, giving the face a ghastly pretense of life. Mr. Janeway stared at it meditatively. | “I hadn't noticed it for a long time,” he said. “WHO ARE YOU?" . 1 v “Who is that lady, papa?” Florry asked, looking at the picture as if she saw it for the first time. “Why, Florrv, that was my first wife,” he answered, surprised that she had not known it before. “Was she my mamma, too?” “No—no,” he replied, hastily. “She was Sarah Deering.” “Wasn’t she any relation to me?" the child persisted. She was but eight years old and the ramifications of kinship were yet a mystery to her. “Of course not,” her mother said,rath er sharply. “Your papa was married to her when he was very young—long before he lived here or knew me. I thought you had heard this before.” She turned to her husband. “Madison, shall I lay this picture away?” Mr. Janeway looked at her attentive ly—was it zeal for an artistic ensemble or was there a lurking Jealousy of the woman who had come before? “Pack it away if you like," he said, turning away. "It is shabby.” Long after his wife and children were sleeping Mr. Janeway sat smoking and thinking complacently of his success. He, Madison Janeway. had begun with nothing, and «t 50 he had won the things he had longed for at 20. The opening and closing of the door at 'W ■ - f .« traded his attention. He looked up. A woman walked across the room. A plain woman, with an honest, ugly ’face and a short, thick figure. "Who nrc you?" Mr. Janeway ashed, frowning at her intrusion. “Don't you know inc. Maddy?” she returned. He was startled when she called him Maddy— it was move than twenty years since he had been called that. “Are— you—are—you—but you can’t be Sa rah,” he stammered. “She has been dead these many years.” “I am Sarah,” she answered. "You have changed, Maddy.” “Yes—yes—we are apt to,” he re plied, uneasily. "But you look just the same." He said this to see it she would account for her presence. “The living can only see th«i dead as they were in life,” she returned. “You sold the farm, .didn't you!"’ Mh' Janeway felt as if a reproach lay fn the observation. "Yes, I sold the farm,” ho said. “I needed the money to put into other investments.” “I worked hard on that place,” she said, crossing her hands—ver^ ,’roiig$i, worn hands. “J worked vci'y hhrd tberQ.' thoso years—I tried .to save alU could, Maddy.” ...,',,7 ' “ “You were a. good wife, Sarah,” he replied; “and both of ua had'Our bur dens, I guess.” “And it was my money that, bought the farm—you had nothing wi\en you came'idburting me, did you, Maddy? And you said that my being thirty years old and you being Just of age made no difTe-ence.” “Yes, I suppose I said that, and I'm sure I always tried to be good to you,” he said in answer to that unspoken re proach that seemed to lie behind her spoken words. “I tried to treat you well.” “The money that came to me just be fore I died from Uncle John must have been a help—I left it and the farm to you. Maddy.” Her dull eyes seemed to force him to acknowledce his deht. “Yes—yes—Sarah. I know that I owe much to you. Without your help and money I should have had a much hard er ♦!”.:? ?r. *”• fret. Yet I think I sLo-ia I.;., c rure^k-Jeu in any case.” Mr. Janeway could not forbear offering this tribute to hi3 self-esteem. “How ever, I gratefully acknowledge your aid, Sarah." , "You have, another wife now, Maddy, anil children.” she said. "But l was first. I believed in you, ,and I worked for you, oh. so willingly. 1 knew that you were different from me—I knew that you had hopes that stupid Sarah could never understand. I knew that I was your companion in your work, but not in your hopes. I knew that we were growing further apart every year that we lived together. I knew that while I was getting to be worked out and middle-aged, that you were only coming to your prime. I knew that it was best that I died when I did—be fore I came to be a drag on you. Yet, Maddy. before her and your children, I think you ought not to shame me, for I was your taithful wife—the wife of your youth, and I gave you all I had to give—my money; my love, my toll.” Before Mr. Janeway could answer she was gone and he sat alone. The next day, however, he took the old photograph downtown and ordered for it a gorgeous frame. When it was returned he hung it in his new library, where it looked strangely alien between a St. Cecilia and the Arabian Falconer, bought at the instigation of the archi tect. Florry, with a child’s quickness, no ticed the fine new gilt frame that sur rounded the ugly, good face. “What have you done to the lady?” she asked. “Aren’t you going to pack her away, like mamma said?” "No. the picture is to stay here. Do you remember who I said it was?” “Yes—it was your first wife.” Mr. Jane way took her on his knee. "Florry,” he began soberly, “when I was a little boy I was very poor—as poor as the Gaits”—a family celebrated in the town for ill-luck and poverty. “I went to school when I could, but that was mighty little, for I had to work most of the time. Sometimes I’d get most discouraged, but I had to work Just the same. One year I worked for a man named Deering; he had a daugh ter, and when she found how .inu’CH 1 wanted to go to school she lent i^e some money—money she had saved by pinch ing and scraping.1 After awhile her father died ahd she married me. I had nothing and she owned1 a good farm, but she married me. ’In six years she died and left everything to me. She gave me my start. She was a good woman, and believed in me when no body else-did. The other night papa dreamed that he saw her and talked to her, and it made him feel ashamed that he had seemed to forget her.” Mr. Jane way felt that he was making a hand some reparation, but he was a man who aimed to do right—it was necessary to his self-esteem. l he child wriggled from his arms and walked away with an awed glance at the picture. Mr. Janeway stared at it musingly. “Are you satisfied now, Sarah?” he caught himself saying. “Pshaw—that dream holds to me still,” he exclaimed, “but anyhow I’ve done her justice.” And though the architect declared that the photograph quite spoiled the effect of the library and begged that it might be banished to some back room, Mr. Janoway was firm, and the dull, good face of his first wife kept Its place between the St. Cecilia and the Ara bian Falconer. Singing •• an Antidote to Coniumptlon. It is asserted that singing is a cor rective of the too common tendency to pulmonic complaints. An eminent physician observes on the subject: “The Germans are seldom afflicted with consumption and this, I believe, is in part occasioned by the strength which their lungs acquire by exercising them In vocal music, for this constitutes an essentia! branch of their education.” . Lost Vitality Fully Restored— THROUGH THC Magical Treatment OFFERED BY THE STATE MEDICAL COMPANY. (OI Nebraska, Incorporated,) A corporation that has paid $200,000 for a secret treatment that has been tested in private practice for nearly ten years. Thousands of men who have given up hope of being cured are being fully restored by us to their former selves. The “State Medical Company" is chartered by. and under the laws of, the State of Nebraska, with a capital of $250,000, subscribed by leading business men of largo means,—men who, after the most severe experimental tests of this Magical Treatment, organised themselves into a strong corporation for the sole purpose of placing before the public the most wonderful treatment ever known for the cure of Loot Vitality and JieMoration of Life Force in old and young mer Thousands of young and old men have indiscreetly sapped the Vital Forces, and shattered the Nerves, until they have become despondent, irritable, and other wise discouraged, and many feel that life is not worth living. Thousands of gravies have been filled by suicides from this most deplorable disease. ,It causes Loss of Memory, Weakness of Body and Mind, and other difficulties which we can only explain in our private circulars and letters. The original owner of this MAGICAL TREATMENT was often strongly urged to place it on the market, but always refused, saying: “I cannot advertise without being classed among the great herd of quacks, who are always preying upon and humbugging suffering humanity.” And, right here, let us say that when you see a free-cure or a free-preecription advertisement, or an advertisement of “one honest man” (?) who claims to have been cured ana wants to give the infor mation free, just set it down that there is a nigger in the woodpile, somewhere. We have NO FREE TREATMENT, NO FREE PRESCRIPTION, but ire have a treatment that will cure all curable cases, and we have cured thousands where the best remedies known to tho highest medical authorities have failed. When you see an advertisement which claims to “cure all,” no matter how bad, don’t you believe it. for there are some casds beyond all medioal skill, that even our MAGICAL TREATMENT cannot cure. But, where we cannot cure, we promptly tell you so, and we will cheerfully return every dollar where our TREATMENTS fail. When any one claims he can cure bo that the disease will never return again, he makcB false statements, because these same troubles and diseases will return undor the same conditions that originaliy brought them on; but one who has for a time, even a short time, been deprived of his manly vigor, when it is restored to him again will be more careful in his after life, and thereby continue to enjoy these blessings during the rest of his life. We do not send medicines C. O. D. until the patient so orders it, and we do not wish to be classed among tho great band of quacks plying their vocation all over the country. We know what we have, and know it to be a wonderful rem edy. We have made manv marvelous cures among those who have tried the best known treatments. The State Board of Health has for years recognised the necessity of a remedy for these diseases, and a living evidence of its great importance may be found in the State Insane Asylum of Nebraska, as well as in every other insane asylum in the world. Th'orc comes a time to those afflicted when they will reach a point beyond all medical aid, aDd you should not delay longer. We will send you full partic ulars, securely sealed, on application.
