IN GREATJISIRESS
VOMITING SPELLS LONG RESISTED
EVERY EFFORT TO OHEOK.
Hr*. Brooks Became So Weak She Think*
She Would Have Died But For
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.
Mrs. Sarah L. Brooks, of No. 45 Lin*
coin Park, Chicago, Illinois, gives the
following account of ner cure from dis
tressing spells of vomiting:
"For five years oft and on I was
treated in vain by different doctors for
relief from a stomach trouble which
•howed itself in frequent and trying
spells of vomiting. Part of the time I
was able to work and again I would b«
confined to bed for three or four days in
succession.
" My stomach was at times so delicate
that it would not retain even plain water.
The spells would sometimes ocour at in
tervals of half an hour, and would leave
me 60 weak that I would be oompelled
to lie down between them. I would
have several of them during the nigh!
following a day of such attacks. Finally
I became so weakened that I had to give
up working altogether. I weighed onlj
ninety-four pounds.
“ Last January I read abont Dr. Wil
liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People in one
of the Chicago daily papers and bough!
a box and began to use them. After ]
had used half a box I found that I conic
keep on my stomach the food I aio. ]
was encouraged by this and kept or
- using the pills for fonr months. At the
end of that time the vomiting spells hac
ceased altogether fend my weight wen!
up to 142 pounds and is still growing.
" I think I surely would have died ii
it had not been for Dr. Williams’ Pinl
Pills for I sometimes vomited cleai
blood, and for three or fonr days at t
time I could not eat a bite of anything
One doctor said I had chronic inflamma
pon of the stomach, and another saic
my difficulty was a cancer, but none o!
their medicines did me any good at all
finally -I concluded that I did not have
•blood enough to digest my food and ]
began the treatment that has cored me
I can eat anything now, and have
strength for all kinds of work. I always
keep Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills on hand
and I recommend them to my friends
because I know they cared me.”

most delicate stomachs and strengther

Closely questioned by him, she told
the doctor she had •gone to bed quite
well; she had suffered no pain the pre
vious day; she had not eaten anything
after dinner, nor had she drank any
thing save the medicine given her by
Zolfanl to be taken whenever she woke
at night, and the exact complement of
which, as prescribed for her, she
placed In a glass on the table by her
bedside when retiring. This she had
taken continually since her return from
Italy, so that her illness could not be
ascribed to' It.
The doctor was mystfied, but to con
ceal this feeling and soothe his hearers,
he spoke of the severe pain frequently
set up by dyspepsia, recommended his
patient to remain in bed all day, and
promised to see her again in the after
noon.
Lady Bysshe’s eyes questioned him
as they went downstairs together; but
he avoided them, while he told her
there was no cause for alarm, begged
of her to keep the patient cheerful, and
suggested strengthening diet.
In the great hall, whose massive
oak and faded tapestries gave It a
gloomy air on this dull morning! they
found Max and his father, the former
somewhat pale and startled, the latter
1 suffering from distress and agitation
that baffled concealment. Both had
1 been silent, until the count heard the
: doctor’s footsteps, when, starting from
. his chair, and hurrying toward the
stairs, he said, "It’s the doctor; I’m sure
It’s the doctor at last. Tell me what
Is the matter with the dear child. Is
she seriously ill?”
■ Doctor Hopkins strove to calm and
1 reassure him by references to dyspep
sia and Its panlful effects, but the
count was not satisfied by his words.
"Are you saying this to soothe me,
or is it really the truth. Please, oh,
j tell my the truth at once,” he implored,
his vacant eyes full of doubt and
i trouble, his voice shaking from anxi
ety.
’ sne is quite rree rrom pain, ana
there is no danger,” Lady Bysshe said,
pitying him and striving for his sake
to appear more unconcerned than she
really felt.
"You would not deceive me, Marger
et? It would be cruel.”
“I assure you she is not suffering in
the least.”
“Thank God,” he murmured, 'T nev
er had a daughter of my own, but she
I has been all and more than any daugh
: ter could be to me. May I see her?
May I convince myself she is well?”
“I will take you to her at once,” re
plied his sister-in-law.
The doctor, who was touched by the
count’s distress, declared that Edith
had quite recovered, and then saying
good-morning, went toward the door,
followed my Max, who had remained
perfectly silent.
As Doctor Hopkins was about to
cross the threshold, he said in an un
dertone, “Can you come out with me
a moment? I should like to have a
word with you.”
Something of apprehension in his
?yes, as well as the gravity of his
voice, suddenly struck Max, and a fear
fell on him, which blanched his face.
“You will come?” said the medical
man, laying his hand upon Max’s arm.
’ "Yes, yes, I will come with you,” he
nuttered, as they went out together.
CHAPTER XXX.
THE GREAT MOMENT.
It was a midday late In January, the
date on which Edith had been taken
ill, and the Angelus bells, ringing with
sonorous and sleepy rhythm all over
Pisa, were carried by a fresh breeze
through the clear air to a gloomy, old
massive-walled palace situated half a
mile beyond the Porta Nuova.
Here, in the small room communi
cating with his laboratory, Dr. Zoffanl
stood by one of the deep recessed win
dows, whose light fell on a letter writ
ten in his own language by the young
English girl who had been his patient
some weeks before.
With spectacles on nose, a gratified
smile lighting his wrinkled face, he
read the lines in which she thanked
him for his attention and care, and
told him that a threatened danger to
the man she was engaged to marry had
caused a relapse of her nervous condi
tion; but that, owing to the medicines
he had given her when leaving, she
had almost recovered once more. She
asked most kindly about his health,
and she added that her future hus
, band was as anxious as herself to ex
press his gratitude personally to one
whose skill had so greatly benefited
her, and to whom she ventured to send
most affectionate remembrances,
i The girl’s simple words went straight
to the old man’s heart, and in a happy
, languor he sank into a chair, his
, skull cap resting against the faded vel
vet of its high back, his eyes closed
the better to recall the image of her
1 fresh beauty with its smiling frank
ness and gracious air.
Prom her, his memory glided almost
imperceptibly to another girl of like
age, whom he had known and loved in
years so far back that they seemed
part of some past existence. Like him
self, she was of Italian birth, but un
like him she professed the Christian
faith.
Anri in Vila vmmar Vinanorm In IVio
wide world was her equal. Beauti
i ful was she beyond all others he had
i seen; her eyes like stars, her lips a
flower, her hair a shower of wavy silk,
and her voice music—the music of
nightingales singing in the olive
groves in the valley of the Arno.
And she whose heart owned him as
i master was bartered to one whose sole
i recommendation was his wealth.
Her soul cried out rebelliously
against her unendurable fate; her body
, withered and twelve months later was
1 in her grave, where over sixty years
she had lain.
In his dream he thought the girl he
had loved was beside him, looking
young and beautiful as when first he
saw her, her hand resting In his. He
had cast oft his load of years, the
strain of his labors, and was himself
, youthful and the hunger of his starved
, heart was satisfied at last. It needed
no words of hers to assure him that
henceforth they would be with each
other, never more to part; and beside
this Ineffable all pervading Joy the
, world seemed as dross.
He opened his eyes to see a figure
. standing before him, then with a deep
drawn sigh he closed them once more,
[ but again he opened them to realize
that Count Sasarl was silently watch
ing him.
“Forgive me for having disturbed
you, dear master," he said; “I had no
Idea when I came In that you slept.”
"lly dear friend, why don’t you
marry?” Zoffano asked him abruptly.
fiasarl was taken by surprise, but he
answered promptly: "Marriage re
quires the consent of two persons.”
“You still love Veneto’s daughter?”
"I marry Roma or none other.”
"But time passes, and the world
holds many women, good and fair, will
ing to cheer man’s loneliness.”
i “There Is but one woman for me.”
I The doctor looked at the man before
him—a model of strength, still youth
iful, handsome and noble. There was
! surely but one thing which could blind
Roma to his merits. "She loves an
other?” he suggested.
“That is my misery,” responded Sa
sarl quietly.
“And will marry him?”
“His choice has fallen on one who
has refused him.”
The alchemist stroked his beard with
gesture of weariness. “Think of the
world we UVe in, full of anxieties, dis
appointments, heart wrenches, vexa
tions,” he murmured, as if to him
self.
"You who live in a world of your own
have escaped these ills,” Sasarl re
marked.
“You forget I was once young, my
friend."
“But you turned hermit In early
manhood.”
“When I found an object to live for.”
“Pardon me if I call it a dream.”
“A dream?” the alchemist cried out,
the light of enthusiasm flashing in his
eyes and transfiguring his wrinkled,
face, as his thoughts were recalled to
the dominant purpose of his life. “You
are wrong, my friend; it is a reality.
Twice I have nearly accomplished my
ambition. It requires time, study, ex
perience, the utmost care. The furnace
made a degree too hot or too cold, a
grain too much of too little of some
chemical, may spoil the ’ labor of
months. But I am now sure of suc
cess. This very night I may gain the
grand secret to whose discovery I have
willingly sacrificed the days and nights
of many years; the passions, health and
enjoyments which are other men’s
birthrights.”
Sasarl watched his excitment, be
lieving him mad on this one point.
“But supposing you succeed?” he sug
era a to/1
“Then," the old man replied, as he
rose from his chair and drew himself
up proudly—"then, what can I not do?
I can give bread to the hungry, shelter
to the homeless, found hospitals for the
cure of disease, refuges for the aged,
relieve the poverty-stricken, remove the
burden of debt that crushes my unhap
py country.” His eyes gleamed, and he
gesticulated wildly.
"And for yourself?”
"For myself I require but a bed of
earth In which to sleep,” he answered,
as. his voice suddenly dropped, while he
drew hisgabardlne closely round him
as If suddenly chilled.
It was close upon midnight when he
bent watching above the crucible con
taining the chemicals he had carefully
measured and the metals he had sorted,
which now simmered on the low fire
of the furnace in his laboratory.
Not a breath of wind, not a move
ment of man or beast could be heard
outside or in, save the show shuffle of
his slippered feet and the deep breaths
he exhaled through his nostrils, that
now quivered from suppressed excite
ment.
Hanging from a beam crossing the
celling of this vast apartment was an
octagonal lamp, whose steady silver
light fell softly on various jars and bot
tles ranged on shelves; on piles of
manuscript, dog-eared volumes bound
in vellum; on strange Instruments lying
against the walls; and on the furnace
with its serpentine pipes and its dull
red glow that lit up the old man’s
brown, withered face and gave him the
semblance of one exalted, illumined and
transfigured by a purpose beyond the
reach of ordinary man.
The insidious, pungent odor arising
from the crucible, stirred his senses to
rapture; a heavy vapor gradually fill
ing the atmosphere made him gasp
for breath; excitement brought the
perspiration thick upon his temples,
and the upward springing of lurid
flames well-nigh dazzled his eager,
watchful eyes.
Consultation of a parchment manu
script assured him that the great mo
ment had undoubtedly come. He had
but to add seven drops of a precious
oil treasured In a ruby flask, and won
der of wonders, the secret would be
clutched from nature, his task accom
plished. He strove to hush the sing
ing In his ears—triumphant singing
like a chorus of rejoicing spirits— and
to subdue the leaping of his pulse as
he removed the stopper from the flask
to pour out the aromatic oil.
As the first drop fell Into the seeth
ing substance in the crucible, the vapor
pervading the room increased in den
sity and assumed an amber hue; the
second turned the liquid mass to glit
tering froth; his shaking fingers ac
cidentally dropped the third into the
fire. Like some exultant demon es
caping Its doom, a red flame Instantly
sprang Into the air, filling the room
with a fierce glare, seizing and singe
ing to its roots the hair of his beard,
eyebrows and head, and clutching at
his cotton shirt until his body was
wrapped In a sheet of fire that scorched
Ids flesh, played around his waving
arms, fiaxed in his face, and ate into
his bones.
With a wild, despairing cry of terror
- - -
Parson Goodlelgh — What kind of
serylce do you prefer.
Hold-up Harold—Open-air service
would do me the most good.
and agony he flung himself down, roll
ing over and over again In frenzy, call
ing for help and cursing In madness.
But no sooner had his cry rung out
Its tortured appeal through the palace,
than the leaping flames of the furnace
catching the contents of the crucible,
a lightning-like flash blazed through
the laboratory and was followed by an
explosion that smashed the windows,
tore the celling and shook the walls,
against which every heavy object In
the room was hurled with resistless
force.
After a brief interval of death-like
silence the door was pushed open by
Tommaso, the only other Inmate of the
palace, who slept in a distant wing.
The light of the swinging lamp showed
him the wreckage made, but it was not
until he had looked a second time In
search of his master that he saw him
huddled and motionless upon the floor.
His Arts impression was that the
doctor was dead, but a deep moan
presently assured him life was still
left In that charred body. Taking
him In his arms he carried the in
sensible man to his bed, where he had
no sooner placed him than a loud peal
of the gate bell rang through the silent
palace.
Grateful to think that he was r>ot
alone in this emergency, Tommaso hur
ried down to the gate to And two mem
bers of the civil guard, behind whom,
at a safe distance, stood an awe-struck
group of peasants, whose curiosity
brought them from bed to see the
wreck by which the alchemist’s Sa
tanic visitor had at last avenged him
self. 1
The explosion, which had been heard
at a considerable distance, had brought
the civil guard to make inquiries and
offer assistance. Tommaso assured
them of his ignorance of its cause and
of his master’s condition. Medical aid
was Immediately summoned, and an
inspection of the laboratory made to
make sure that no fire was smoulder
ing.
It was not until late in the day that
Zoffani recovered consciousness.
Though frightfully burned about the
face, chest and arms, his injuries were
not considered sufficient in themselves
to cause death, but it is believed he
could not recover from the shock re
ceived.
He made no complaint of the in
tolerable pain that like a flame wrapped
his body; the body from which his
spirit, his real and only self, would
soon be free. But before that hap
pened there was something that must
be said, some secret that must be told,
painful though the telling be. He mut
tered the name of Sasari, and Tom
maso, who never left him, put down his
brown face, puckered with grief to the
scorched iips that again mentioned the
count’s name.
In return he was told that Sasari
uau ueeu uesiue nun an uay, ana naa
only just gone, leaving word that he
was to be sent for without delay when
consciousness returned to the sufferer.
A messenger was dispatched to the
count, who rode back at once, and was
soon standing by the hard and narrow
bed where the dying man lay.
"My dear master," he said, his voice
full of the sorrow he felt at their In
evitable parting.
“There Is something I have to say.”
"Something you wish me to do?. Tou
have only to speak."
"No, no," came the low, weary voice.
"I must tell It to you, this secret,
though you will turn from me; you,
my only friend, will shrink from me
when you have heard." <
“Never.”
“Is the door closed?” Zoffanl asked,
for movement was agony to him and
he dared not turn to see for himself.
“Then listen to the confession of a
dying man.”
CHAPTER XXXI.
EDITH'S DANGER.
As they reached the last of the wide
granite steps of the hall door, Max was
drawn aside by Doctor Hopkins that
they might be out erf hearing of the
driver seated on the trap awaiting him.
Max watched his companion In silence,
wondering what he had to communi
cate, and fearing from the serious ex
pression of his face that It was noth
ing pleasant.
“I hardly know what to say or think,”
the medical man began, hesitating as
he spoke and glancing at Max, “but
of this I am sure; Miss Cowley Is no
more suffering from Indigestion than
you or I.”
"But you said-’
"What I said was meant to pacify
Lady Bysshe and your father, who are
naturally nervous about her; and It's
because they are that I wish to have
a word or two with you.”
Max looked at him with growing ap
prehension. “Tell me," he said, “what
Is the matter with her?”
“That puzzles me."
"But surely you-’’ /
"I suspect.”
"Some Internal complaint?" sug<
gested Max, who became more and
more uneasy.
"I hardly like to say.”
‘It’s dangerous?"
"Decidedly dangerous,” answered the
doctor.
"Great heavens, what’s to be done?”
exclaimed Max, in evident consterna
tion.
“That’s waht I want to talk about
If she has no return of this Illness
there will be nothing to fear; but If
she has, I should like to consult some
eminent London man like Sir William
Taxworth. I dont like to take It on
myself to send for him without the
permission of some of the family, and
the suggestion would only frighten
the count and Lady Bysshe—perhaps
uselessly. What do you say?”
“Send for him at once,” said Max.
“It’s not necessarv that T ahnni/i An
so now—but If she gets a relapse-"
"Would it be then too late?"
"I trust not.”
"But If there’s a doubt?”
"I think,” replied Doctor Hopkins
after a moment’s consideration, "I will
take it upon myself to wait. After all,
I may have been mistaken. It’s not
a case that comes under a medical
man’s notice every day.”
"Is it so bad?” Max asked, his fears
Increasing.
"I will come up again early in tho
afternoon," Doctor Hopkins stated,
without answering the question put to
him, and in another moment he was
in the trap, driving through the park,
homeward.
Max, standing where he was left,
watched the vehicle disappear round a
bend of the carriage drive, his small,
blue eyes expressing perplexity, sus
pense and fear, an absorbed look cloud
ing his face. He remained so long in
the same spot that the chill east wind
seemed to strike through him, for he
shuddered from head to foot.

Inoculatiing the Ground.
National Geographic Magazine: To
.noculate sterile ground and make it
bring forth fruit in abundance is one
of the latest achievements of Ameri
can science. Some of man’s most dread
diseases—smallpox, diphtheria, plague,
rabies—have been vanquished by in
oculation, and now inoculation is to
cure soil that has been worn out and
make it fertile and productive again.
The germs that bring fertility are
mailed by the department of agricul
ture in a small package like a yeast
cake. The cake contains millions of
dried germs. The farmer who receives
the cake drops it into a barrel of clean
water; the germs are revived and soon
turn the water to a milky white.
Seeds of clover, peas, alfalfa or other
leguminous plants that are then soaked
in this milky preparation are endowed
with marvelous strength. Land on
which, for instance, the farmer with
constant toll had obtained alfalfa only
a few Inches high, when planted with
these Inoculated seeds will produce al
falfa several feet high and so rich
that the farmer does not recognize his
crop.
