LOSS OF APPETITE
Cold Sweats, Twitching Nerves and
Weakness Cured by Dr. Williams*
Pink Pills.
Nature punishes every infraction ©1
her laws, aud careless habits easily lead
to the condition described by Mr. Wil
liam Browne, of No. 1019 Lincoln street,
St. Joseph, Mo. Mr. Browne is an ex
pert tinner in the employ of the National
Biscuit Co. He gives the following ac
count of a trying experience:
“In the spring of 1902,” he says,
" while I was regularly working at my
trade, I grew somewhat careless in my
habits of eating and drinking, aud finally
fonud that my appetite was fickle, a bad
taste lingered in my mouth, my nerves
twitched aud were beyond my control,
my kidneys were out of order and cold
sweats would break oat over my body at
odd times. Perhaps, while I stood talk
ing with some one, this trembling
of the limbs, aud profuse sweating, and
a severe chill would seize me. I becams
alarmed at my condition aud, having
read an endorsement of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, I got a box and began to use
them. They helped me at once.. Aftei
I had used one box the twitching of the
nerves, the trouble with the stomach
aud the cold sweats stopped and have
not reappeared, and my appetite is good.
I have told all my friends that Dr. Wil
liams’ Pink Pills cared me and I recom
mend them to everybody.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cured Mr.
Browne because nothing can strengthen
the nerves except good rich, red blood—
and Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills actually
make new blood. They don’t act on the
bowels. They don’t bother with mere
symptoms. They drive from the blood
the cause of auaemia, indigestion, ner
vous disorders, general weakness aud
the troubles of growing girls and women.
The pills are guaranteed to be free
from opiates or harmful drngs. Sold by

chief being that he had his own money

For many years there has been a
never-ending, never conceding, never
triumphing war between the world of
fashion and the world ot
serious thought. From the days when
the stoics of ancient Rome strove to
awaken the dissipated set of their day
to the grim realities of life and of phil
osophy down to the present busy era,
in which the preachers in the pulpit
try to arouse responsibility in the use
of the enormous wealth of to-day and
humane societies endeavor to protect
the innocent wild things from the on
slaught of eternally barbaric fashion
there has existed this pitched battle
of one-half of the world against the
other half.
Bishop Henry C. Potter wrote:
“There is an element of savagery in
the use of birds for personal decora
tion which is in grotesque contrast
with our boasts of civilization; but
even the savage stops short, as a rule,
with the feathers. It is only Christian
people who think it worth while to
butcher a whole bird to adorn their
headgear. I am sure,however, that it
is largely from that unreflecting habit
which is a leading vice in people who
follow the fashions. But it is a vice,
as Hood sang when he wrote:
“But evil is wrought by w-ant of thought
As well as want of heart.’’
| Oliver Holmes, too, wrote once ot
his hearty and eager sympathy with
all and every one who tried to “pre
vent the waste of these innocent, hap
py, beautiful and useful lives on which
we depend for a large share of our
natural enjoyment.”
But it was Charles Dudley Warner
who made the aptest aphorism on the

Greeley Peculiarities.
Explorers Correct Statement.
William Barnes, Sr., of Albany was
a very old and intimate friend of Ho
race Greeley.
“Mr. Greeley,” said he the other
day, “was peculiar in every relation
of life except when he had a pen in
his hand and a reform to write about.
Then his head was level.
“His wife was just as peculiar as
he was. They had one son, Pickey.
who died young. Mrs. Greeley never
permitted the boy to eat flesh or to
know that animals were killed for
food.
“Mrs. Greeley was as earnest a re
former as Mr. Greeley, and as indiffer
ent as he to the conventionalities of
life. Mr. Greeley took me up to the I
house once to dinner, and I noticed i
the flour barrel standing in the front
hall. There was a trail of flour from
the place where it stood out into the
kitchen. I thought perhaps it had just
come in and they had not had time to
move it. But, happening to pass it. I
saw that it was nearly empty. The
delivery man had set it down in the
hall, and it had never occurred to
either of them to move it into the
kitchen.”
A group of newspaper correspond
ents at Portsmouth were arguing over
the very formal and elaborate wording
of diplomatic papers. They thought
that too much care was given to this
matter—that a plain statement al
ways should suffice.
But Mr. Sato, who had been listen
ing quietly, now interrupted.
“Plain statements suffice,” he said,
“when it is no one’s interest to twist
them about, to misinterpret them.
Wills, legal documents and treaties
must be more than plain statements.
They must be iron-bound. And, when
anyone attempts to impugn them,
prompt and ready must be their de
fense—as prompt and ready, say, as
the defense of the famous African ex
plorer.
“This explorer was describing a har
rowing adventure that had befallen
him in the African wilds.
“ ‘I peered into the jungle,’ he said,
‘and there before me lay a trunkless

“‘Ah, what are you talking about?’
snarled a rival explorer. ‘Whoever
heard of a trunkless body,’
“ ‘My friend,’ the first speaker an

Knew and Loved the Woods.
A famous Adirondack guide, in the
days when that mountain region was
a true wilderness, has just died at the
age of 95. William McLoughlin was
in the Adirondacks when there were
none but old Indian trails, and he
and St. Regis Indians cut new ones
as the region began to be vished. W.
H. H. Murray knew him early and
camped with him. Only a few years
ago he said to a friend: “You would
suppose from the newspaper letters
that there was not a spot in the big
woods that civilization has not spoil
ed, but old Bill McLoughlin can take
you and me to pretty good fragments
of the old wilds.”
“The guest, it seems, had over
stayed his time—had been invited for
a week, remained a fortnight, and
showed a disposition to continue on
a month. It was aggravating, I admit.
But to bounce him with a prayer!
Well!
“That, though, is what the man did.
At the end of the second week he
concluded the usual morning exhorta
tion with this sentence:
“ ‘And, Lord, bless, we beseech
Thee, Brother Jonathan Sharp, who

Why We’re Right Handed,
“Our mothers make us right hand

in our infancy.
“How does a mother carry her
baby? On her right arm, eh? Now
putting yourself in that baby’s place,
which hand and arm have you got
free? The right, of course.
“Babies as they are carried about
have the lef arm and hand cramped
up and the right arm and hand free
to swing about, to strike with, to
scratch with and to do everything
with.
“Therefore it is natural for all child
ren to grow up right handed.”

ill-natured criticism is a social blun
der. Gossip, too, is really going out
of fashion. True wit is a gift, not an
attainment. Those who use it aright
never yield to the temptation of say
ing anything that can wound another
in order to exhibit their own clever
ness.—Exchange.
Decidedly New.
The servant handed Mr. Highmore a
letter. It was from Harold, the eldest
son, who was at college. "Anything
new in it?” asked Mrs. Highmore.
“Yes,” said the father of the family,
in an agitated voice, as he glanced
over the letter. He doesn’t ask me
for any money this time.”

Cured Her Rheumatism.
Deep Valley, Pa., Oct. 2d.— (Spe
cial.)—There is deep interest in Green
county over the cure of the little
daughter of I. N. Whipkey of Rheuma
tism. She was a great sufferer for
five or six years and nothing seemed
to do her any good till she tried
Dodd’s Kidney Pills. She began to
improve almost at once and now she
is cured and can run and play as other
children do. Mr. WTiipkey says:
“I am indeed thankful for what
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for my
daughter; they saved her from being
a cripple perhaps for life.”
Dodd’s Kidney Pills have proved
that Rheumatism is one of the results
of diseased Kidneys. Rhenmatism is
caused by Uric Acid in the blood. If
the Kidneys are right there can be no
Uric Acid in the blood and conse
quently no Rheumatism. Dodd’s Kid
ney Pills make the Kidneys right

Could Not Shut Eyes to Sleep—Spent
$100 on Doctors—Baby Grew
Worse—Cured by Cuticura
for $5.
"A scab formed on my baby’s face,
spreading until it completely covered
her from head to foot, followed by
boils, having forty on her head at one
time, and more on her body. Then
her skin started to dry up and It be
came so bad she could not shut her
eyes to sleep. One month’s treatment
with Cuticura Soap and Ointment
made a complete cure. Doctors and
medicines had cost over $100, with
baby growing worse. Then we spent
less than $5 for Cuticura and cured
her. (Signed) Mrs. G. H. Tucker, Jr.,

Medicines Have Stood Test of Time.
“The leading proprietary medicines
that have stood the test of time are
of known therapeutic value,” saya a
medical authority. “They are prepar
ed in laboratories of the highest
grade, under the care of skilled phar
macists, and they are made from ap
proved formulas which, in many in
stances, have been the especial pride
and specific of some successful physi
cian. They have been tried In the
crucible of public opinion and they
have been found satisfactory by the
people, for otherwise the people would
discontinue using them."
