THE DRUB GLERK'S STORy.
He Talt of Homluclirn unit Ncrrousnrm
n ml Glvm a t'uro for Jlolh.
From the Evening News, Newark, N. J.
Tho following Interesting story ns
told by Henry Maler. who hands out
medicine over-the courter of Dr. An
drew F. BurUhardt's drug storo nt 271
Orange Street, this city, will prove
or Interest to all sufferers from head
nche and nervausnesis. He wild: "I
waa not always strong ami robust
ns I am now. Long hours of work
and study had left me In a wretched
condition. Frightful, lingering head
aches found mo n ready victim, and at
times I was so nervous that the drop
pins of a nln would cause me to Rive n
violent start, and then I would be seised
with a fit of tremblliiR that was, to put
It mildly, exceedingly bothersome. "Well,
I began to doctor myself. Now I flat
ter myself that I ltuow something of
medicine; but with all my knowledge,
I could find nothing that would cure
those terrible headaches or put an end
to my extreme nervousness. When I
picked up a bottle my hand would shake
n3 though I had the chills, and If It waa
a powder that I was handling I stood a
good chance of sprinkling It all over
these black trousers. Things went from
bad to worse, and I soon realized that
a man of my physical condition had
better not attempt to mix any medicine.
" 'Try n box of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills,' said Dr. Burkhardt, one.day; and
as you know the doctor's advice Is al
ways worth following I got tho Pink
Pills and began to take thorn. Aladdin's
lamp never performed the wonders of
these pills. Would you believe It? Be
fore 1 had taken tho contents of one
box my headache began to give me a
day oft occasionally, and yoon It left
me entirely. How about my nervous
ness? Well, the pills put an end to that
with almost startling abruptness. You
see I know enc "gh about the business
to appreciate the Importance of follow
ing the prescribing pbyslclans' direc
tions, nnd by paying strict attention to
those given by Dr. Williams with each
box of his Pink Pills. 1 was Soon an
other fellow. Look at me now' A pic
ture of health, eh? Well, that Is what
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will do for a
man, or a woman cither. See, I can hold
this glass of water out now without spil
ling a drop, but I couldn't do that two
months ago, and
"What is It, ma'am?" ho asked as n
neatly dressed woman came up to tho
counter. "A box of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills." "Yes, ma'am, fifty cents, please.
Thank you."
"These Pink Pills are great things,"
said Mr. Maler, a he turned to the re
porter again, nnd the latter, after all he
had heard, thought so too.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blcod and restore
shattered nerves. They are for sale by
all druggists, or may be had by mail
from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company,
Schenectady, N. Y for CO cents per box,
or six boxes for J2.G0.

her so much that It was some time be

There Is a bank cashier still living In
Chicago who was the hero of a wonder
ful performance just after the great fire
In 1S70. The books of tho bank In which
he was employed were entirely de
stroyed by tho flames, and with no data
except the pass books of the depositors
and hlsmemory. this man restored all
the llfteon hundred accounts so suc
cessfully that every depositor was sat
isfied. Tho splitting of the forest trees by
frost is popularly ascribed to the same
cause as the bursting of water pipes,
namely, the expansion of the sap in
turning Into Ice. But this Is not the
case. The splitting Is due to the con
traction of the wood by frost In a sim
ilar way, but In less degree to what
happens when the wood Is dried. When
the thaw comes the trees expand to
their original dimensions.
The powder used In the big guns la
queer-looking stuff. Each grain Is a
hexagonal prism an Inch wide nnd two
thirds of an Inch thick, with a hole
bored through the middle of it. In ap
pearance it resembles nothing so much
an a piece of wood. If you touoh a
match to It It will take sevon or eight
seconds to go off. Slow-burning powder
like this Is omployed In cannon because
It does not strain the gun so much. The
quicker the explosion, the groat the
shock and tho shorter the life of th
woapon.

I'rc'urrtutlnn of Wood.
Common pluo or even bnsswood may
bo rendered almost Indestructible, it Is
said, by soaklug in a solution composed
of onu part blue vitriol and twenty of

announces a method of treating plunks,
etc., that greatly enhances their value.
He piles tho lumber hi a tank and thun
cqvers thickly with quicklime. Water
is slowly n dele a! till the liinu is slacked.
In about a week the wood becomes im
pregnated, and is ready for use. Tim
ber prepared in this way has boon used
