Cold Affected Head and Throat
Attack was Severe.
Chas. W. Bowman, 1st Lieut, and
Adjt. 4tli M. S. M. Cav. Vols.. writes
from Lanham, Aid., as follows:
“Though somewhat averse to pat
ent medicines, and still more averse
to becoming a professional affidavit
man, it seems only a plain duty in
s the present instance to add my ex
. * perience to the columns already writ
ten concerning the curative powers
of Peruna.
* ‘I have been particularly benefited
by its use for colds in the head and
throat. I have been able to fully cure
myself of a most severe attack in
forty-eight hours by Its use according
^ to directions. I use it as a preventive
1 whenever threatened with an attack.
“Members of my family also use
it Tor like ailments. We are recom
mending it to our friends.”

The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great Im
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stiff
ener makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.
SAVES HER VISITING CARDS.
On# Woman’s Pet Economy Certainly
a Queer One.
Women are proverbially niggardly
on one or two points; every woman
that ever existed had some pet econo
my, no matter how extravagant she
may be in some respects. There'#
ihe woman who spends hundreds of
dollars on imported gowns, but hates
to give up one penny for a paper of
pins. The paper-saving person who
> drops into department stores and ho
V tels to borrow stationery rather than
spend any money upon the commodity
always is with is; we all know the
stamp stealer aid the match borrow
er; but the visiting-card economizer
is a new brand of woman who exists
only in the most exclusive society.
So niggardly is she on the point of
(her visiting cards that she demands
them back from her intimate friends;
from her mere acquaintances she
steals them at an opportune moment
when the servant's back is turned, or
when the mistress has left the room.
She puts them slyly back into her
card case. By a clever series of ma
nipulations It is said she can make
100 of them go as far as 500 went be
fore.
THE FIRST TWINGE
Of Rheumatism Calls for Or. Williams’
Pink Pills If You Would Be
Easily Cured.
Mr. Frank Little, a well known clti
J ten of Portland, Ionia Co., Mich., was
y cured of a severe case of rheumatism
by l)r. Williams’ Pink Pills. In speak
ing about ii recently, be said: "My
body was run down and in no condi
tion to withstand disease and about
five years ago I began to feel rheu
matic pains in my arms asid across
my back. My arms and legs grew
numb and the rheumatism seemed to
settle in every joint so that I could
hardly move, while my arms were
useless at times. I was unable to
sleep or rest well and my heart pain
ed me so terribly I could hardly stand
it My stomach became sour and
bloated after eating and this grew
. so bad that I had inflammation of
the stomach. I was extremely nerv
ous and could not bear the least
noise or excitement One whole side
of my body became paralyzed.
"As I said before, I had been suff
ering about five years and seemed to
be able to get no relief from my
doctors, when a friend here in Port
ia land told me how Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills had cured him of neuralgia in
the face, even after the pain had
drawn it to one side. I decided to
try the pills and began to see some
improvement soon after using them.
This encouraged me to keep on until
I was entirely cured. I have never
M had a return of the rheumatism or of
' the paralysis.
The pills are for sale by all drug
gists or sent, postpaid, on receipt of
price, 50 cents per box, six boxes
$2.50, by the Dr. Williams Mediclna
Company. Schenectady, N. Y.

‘‘A few days ago,” said a man, “I
read a good little newspaper story of
how one of the largest Atlantic liners
was held a moment at her pier in
New York for a baby's kiss.
"The father, who was to sail for
Europe, saw the child’s outstretched
arms, rushed down the gang plank,
gave the little one a hug and a kiss
and would have missed getting aboard
if the men at the tackles had not held
the plank suspended for him while
you could count ten. The story,”
continued the man, smiling, “remind
ed me of the holding of a steamship,
for three-quarters of an hour for one'
steerage passenger.
“It was about the time of the
Charleston earthquake. In those days
you went to Charleston from New
York by the vessels of the old Charles
ton line, and from there to Jackson
ville, Fla., and landings on the St.
'John’s river as far up as Palatka by
a trim little steamship, the City of
Palatka. Capt. Leo Vogel was her
master.
“He was at sea with his vessel o£
Charleston when that city was partly
wrecked by earthquake. At that sea
son of the year, when some of the
regular boats were laid off for their
summer repairs, the City of Palatka'
made the entire trip to New York,
calling at Charleston each way. When
he arrived at New York just after the
earthquake Capt. Vogel gave a re
I>orter 'an interesting story of how the
earthquake affected his vessel at sea.
"The City of Palatka, by the way,
was perhaps the only steamship ot
her time that made part of her regular
trip through four or five feet of mud.
This she did every time she crossed
the bar in the narrows of the St.
John’s river just below Palatka.
"She was sold eventually for use on
the Pacific side, went around the
Horn and was burned a few years
later at some port, I think, on Puget
Sound. Capt. Vogel afterward was
with the Clyde line as pilot for all
their Florida steamships over the dan
gerous St. John's river bar at May
i>ort. By hustling back by rail from
Charleston to Jacksonville and vice
versa he managed to pilot every
steamship in the service in those days
across the bar going in and coming
out.
"Well, to get back to my story, one
afternoon when the City of Palatka,
bound up the river, came along to the
Green Cove Spring landing, forty-five
miles north of Palatka a typical
Cracker from back in the pine woods,
carrying a black oilcloth satchel,
started to board the vessel. On being
asked where he was going he allowed
he was bound for ‘York.’
"He had been told, he said, tHat (be
ship would not make the Green Cove
Spring landing on coming down the
next morning and he reckoned he had
.better get aboard now.
“Capt. Vogel overheard the talk and
said to the Cracker:
“ ‘The City of Palatka will be at
this landing on her way to New York
at 8 o’clock to-morrow morning. Be
here then, and you will get aboard all
right.”
“ 'But maybe you’ll get here and go
on before that, and I won't git to
York,’ said the Cracker.
“ ‘You be here at 8 o’clock,’ said the
captain, 'and you won’t get left.’
"The next morning at about 7
o’clock the City of Palatka rounded
the channel beacon off Green Cove
Spring, and in fifteen minutes was
alongside the landing. The Cracker
passenger was not among those wait
ing on the pier.
"He had not shown up when every
body and everything else that was
going north was aboard. Then began
a roaring of the ship's steam gong
that resounded through the pine
woods and woke up the owls in the
water oaks along shore.
"For forty-five minutes the steam
ship lay at the pier and kept her gong
sounding. The passengers, many of
them well to do Northerners hound
up from their winter homes, began
to talk as to the cause of the delay.
"One explanation had it that Pierre
Ijorillard had telegraphed from down
the river, offering a large sum to have
the vessel held till he could come up
in his steam yacht and take passage
for New York
“At about three minutes before S
o'clock there was seen coming leisure
ly down the pier a two wheeleu cart
drawn by a gray mule. On the bot
tom boards of the cart, with her back
toward the mule, sat a Cracker wo
man in a calico gown and a checkered
gingham sunbonnet, and with her
feet hanging over the rear of the
cart.
"In the cart was a black oilcloth
satchel and astride the gray mule w as
a Cracker man. At the head of the
pier he leisurely alighted, took the
satchel from the cart and said, 'Good
by, Mandy,’ to his wife.
"As he was going up the gangplank
with his big silver watch in his hand
he spied Capt. Vogel, who had been
walking the bridge for more than hall
an hour with an untranslatable look
in his face, and hailed him with:
“ ‘Mornin’, Cap. Jest 8 o’clock
Maybe you reckoned I’d disappoint
you, but here I am, right on time
Let her go.’
“ ‘Yes,’ said V’ogel, ‘you're on the
minute.’
"Throughout the voyage to New
York the Cracker was known and
pointed out down in the steerage as
the man who held the steamship
three-quarters of an hour, and the dis
tinction seemed to please him.”
An Urbane English Opinion.
Woman is less civilized than man
because she is more emotional. Phys
ical conditions account for the greater
emotionalism of woman, and since, as
Xar as we are aware, nothing can altei
those physical conditions, woman
must always be less civilized than
man.—Hearth and Home.

UTTERLY WORN OUT.
Vitality Sapped by Years of Suffering
with Kidney Trouble.
Capt. J. W. Hogun, former postmas
ter of Indianola, now living at Austin,
Tex., writes: “I
was amiciea ror
years with pains
across the loins
and In the hips
and shoulders. I
had headache
also and neural
gia. My right
eye, from pain,
was of little use
to me for years.
The constant now of urine kept my
system depleted, causing nervous
chills and night sweats. After trying
seven different climates and using all
kinds of medicine I had the good for
tune to hear of Doan’s Kidney Pills.
This remedy has cured me. I am as
well to-day as I was twenty years ago,
and my eyesight is perfect.”

Origin of Starch.
The art of starching was not intro
duced into England until the ingenu
ity of Dutch women in starching ruffs
induced Queen Elizabeth to turn to
them when she took to wearing cam
bric and linen cuffs. In 1504 Mistress
Dinghein von den Plasse, the refugee
daughter of a Flemish knight, came
with her husband to London, accord
ing to an old writer, and set up an es
tablishment for starching, where she
not only plied her trade, but instruct
ed English classes in her art.
SCALY ERUPTION ON BODY.
Doctors and Remedies Fruitless—Suf
fered 10 Years — Completely
Cured by Cuticura.
“When I was about nine years old
small sores appeared on each of my
lower limbs. 1 scratched them with a
brass pin and shortly afterwards both
of those limbs became so sore that
I I could scarcely walk. When I had
been suffering for about a month
the sores began to heal, but small
scaly eruptions appeared where the
sores had been. From that time on
ward I was troubled by such severe
itching that, until I became accus
tomed to it, I would scratch the sores
until the blood began to flow. This
I would stop the itching for a few
! days, but scaly places would appear
again and the itching would accom
pany them. After I suffered about
ten years I made a renewed effort to
effect a cure. The eruptions by this
time had appeared on every part of
my body except my face and hands.
, The best doctors in my native coun
' ty advised me to use arsenic in small
doses and a salve. 1 then used to
i bathe the sores in a mixture which
gave almost intolerable pain. In ad
dition I used other remedies, such
as iodine, sulphur, zinc salve, -"s
Salve, - Ointment, and in fact I
, was continually giving some remedy
• a fair trial, never using less than
i one or two boxes or bottles. All
! this was fruitless. Finally my- hair
began to fall out and I was rapidly
becoming bald. I used -"s -.
but it did no good. A few months
after, having used almost everything
else, I thought I would try Cuticura
Ointment, having previously used
Cuticura Soap and being pleased with
it. After using three boxes I was
completely cured, and my hair was
restored, after fourteen years of suf
fering and an expenditure of at least
$50 or $60 in vainly endeavoring to
find a cure. I shall be glad to write
to any one who may be interested in
my cure. n. Hiram Mattingly, Ver
million, S. Dak., Aug. 18, 1906.”
HEADS SHAPED TO ORDER.
German Doctor Explains Causes of
Various Formations.
At a recent convention of German
naturalists and doctors Dr. Walcher,
of Stuttgart, in an instructive paper
put forth a sensational theory to ex
plain the formation of the shape of
the head of infants. He maintained
that the head of a child could be
molded artificially. He found by ex
perience that when a medium-shaped
head Is placed in a soft cushion the
child turns on its back, or rests on the
back of its head, in order to free
mouth, nose and face. In this manner
the head rests smoothly, and a short
head Is developed. But if the medium
shaped head of a child is placed on a
hard under-rest, like a hair mattress
or rolled carpet, the child’s head
turns aside, as it cannot stand any
more on its head than an egg. for the
muscle of the back is weakened.
Therefore, with continued resting on
the side a long head is developed. To
prove his assertions the lecturer pre
sented a child whose mother and sis
ter are short-headed. The child at its
birth had a short head, now after 18
months it Is long skulled. If the chi'ri
had been placed on its back, according
to other experiences its head would
have been short-shaped. Dr. Walcher
did not deny that the shape of the
head was inherited, but asserted that
it could be greatly influenced by the
way the child rested.
COSTLY PRESSURE.
Heart and Nerves Fail on Coffee.
_
A resident of a great western state
puts the case regarding stimulants
with a comprehensive brevity that is
admirable. He says:
“I am 56 years old and have had con
siderable experience with stimulants.
They are all alike—a mortgage on re
served energy at ruinous interest. As
the whip stimulates but does not
strengthen the horse, so do stimulants
act upon the human system. Feeling
this way, I gave up coffee and all
other stimulants and began the use of
Postum Food coffee some months ago.
The beneficial results have been ap
parent from the first. The rheumatism
that I used to suffer from has left me.
I sleep sounder, my nerves are stead
ier and my brain clearer. And I bear
testimony also to the food value of
Postum—something that is luckfcig in
coffee.” Kame given by Postum Co.,

Always to Be Depended Upon.
When a person gets up in the morn
ing with a dull headache and a tired,
stretchy feeling, it's an almost certain
indication that, the liver, or bowels,
or both, are decidedly out of order.
At such times Nature, the wisest
and best of doctors, takes this means
to give warning that she needs the
help and gentle assistance which can
best be obtained from that old fam
ily remedy, Brandreth's Pills, which
has been in use for over a century.
They are the same fine laxative
tonic pill your grandparents used
when doctors were few and far be
tween, and when people had to have
a remedy that could absolutely be de
pended upon.
Brandreth's Pills can be depended
upon, and are sold in every drug and
medicine store, plain or sugar-coated.

his part with decorum and dignity. He
wears exactly the same kind of blue

the president, the same kind of hat
and exactly so oddly cut a beard. And
on his promenades lie is always ac
companied by a frond who couid eas
ily be taken for the president's pri

measured steps, the enviable double
walks through the Faubourg Saint

saluted on all sides.
THE DISCOVERER
Of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, the
Great Woman’s Remedy for Woman’s Ilfs.
LYDIA E. P1NKHAM
No other medicine for Woman’s ills in the world has received such wide
spread and unqualified endorsement.
No other medicine has such a record of cures of female illnesses or such
hosts of grateful friends as has Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
For more than 30 years it has been curing all forms of Female Complaints,
Inflammation and Ulceration, and consequent Spinal Weakness.
It has cured more eases of Backache and Local Weaknesses than any other
one remedy. It dissolves and expels tumors in an early stage of development.
Irregularities and periodical pains, Weakness of the Stomach, Indigestion,
Bloating, Nervous Prostration, Headache. General Debility quickly yield to it;
also deranged organs, causing pain, dragging sensations and backache.
Under all circumstances it acts in harmony with the female system.
It removes that wearing feeling, extreme lassitude, "dpn’t care” and
“want-to-be-left-alone’’ feeling, excitability, irritability, nervousness, diz
ziness, faintness, sleeplessness, flatulency, melancholy or the “blues”. These
are indications of Female Weakness or some derangement of the organs,
which this medicine cures as well as Chronic Kidney Complaints and
Backache, of either sox.
Those women who refuse to accept anything else are rewarded a hundred
thousand times, for they get what they want—a cure. Sold by Druggkts
everywhere. Refuse all substitutes.
