THE DRUG GLEftK'S STOftY.
Ho TnIka of Ilcat1tc1t s and Nervonsuess
and Give a Cure for Both.
From the Evening News , Newark , N. J.
The following interesting story as
told by Henry Dialer , who hands out
medicine over the counter of Dr. Andrew -
drew F , Burkhardt's drug store at 271
Orange Street , this city , will prove
of Interest to all su'ferers from headache -
ache and nervousness ; . He said : "I
was not ahvavs strong and robust
as I am now. Long hours of work
and study had left me in a wretched
condition. Frightful , lingering headaches -
aches found me a ready victim , and at
times I was so nervous that the drop-
I ping of a pin would carse me to give a
Il Violent start , and then I would be seized
'with a fit of trembling that was , to put
It mildly , exceedingly bothersome : Well ,
I began to doctor myself. Now I flatter -
ter myself that I know 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
as though I had the chills , and if It was
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 hajl
better not attempt to mix any medicine.
" 'Try a box of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills , ' said Dr. Burkhard t , one day ; and
as you know the doctor's advice is always -
ways worth following I got the Pink
Pills and began to take them. Aladdin's
o lamp never performed the wonders of
these pills. Would you believe It ? Before -
fore I had taken the contents of one
box my headache began to give me a
day off occasionally , and soon it left
me entirely. How about my nervousness -
ness ? Well , the pills put an end to that
t with almost startling abruptness. You
see I know enc tgh about the business
to appreciate the importance of following -
ing the prescribing physicians' directions -
tions , and by paying strict attention to
those given by Dr. Williams with each
box of his Pink Pills , I was soon an'
other fellow. Look at me now' A picture -
ture of health , eh ? Well , that is what
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will do for a
i
a man , or a woman either. See , I can hold
1 this glass of water nut now without spilling -
ling a drop , but I couldn't do that two
' months ago , and-
"What is It , ma'am ? " he asked as a
neatly dressed woman cane up to the
t counter. "A box of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. " "Yes , ma'am , fifty cents , please.
i Thank you. "
"These Pink Pills are great things , "
said Mr. Mater , as he turned to the reporter -
porter again , and the latter , after all he
had heard , thought so too.
i 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
l all druggists , or may be had by mail
from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company ,
' Schenectady , N. Y. , for 50 cents per box ,
or six boxes for $2.50. '

her so much that it was some time before -

The 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 contraction -
traction of the wood by frost in a similar -
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.

INFLUENC1's OF THIS YEAR'S
VOTING WILL BE FELT.
hfany of the United States Senators
Whose Terms Expires March 4,1897 ,
Will Be Airoetod-Monoy Question
Creates Inter ° t.
HIS will be a year
o f few elections.
In most of the
states the elections
of last year , resulting -
ing in the choice of
congressienal and
legislative representatives -
sentatives , put a
stop to activity at
the polls for about
two years , excepting -
ing merely local controversies. The few
local elections held sine the fall elections -
tions of 1894 have been spiritless , for
the most part , and it was not until the
introduction of national questions , and
particularly the money question , into
the state campaigns of this year that
they began to interest.
State elections will be held on November -
vember 5 in twelve states , as follows :
Iowa , Kansas , Kentucky , Maryland ,
Massachusetts , Mississippi , Nebraska ,
New York , New 'Jersey , Ohio , Pennsylvania -
sylvania , Virginia , and in the territory
of Utah , which will , by that time , have
about complied with all the conditions
required of it in making it a state. Oregon -
gen , Rhode Island , Michigan and Wisconsin -
consin held elections early in the year.
The look ahead at the election of
1896 is highly interesting , not only because -
cause a president and vice-president are
to be chosen , but because a new house
of representatives must be elected , and
the fate of twenty-nine senators , whose
terms expire in 1897 , will be affected
by the determination of contests in
their states.
The senators of the United States
whose terms will expire in 1897 are

cousin is to elect a successor to Senator -
tor Vilas ( dem. ) . Utah will probably

In Georgia , it is expected that there
will be a new election for representative -
tive in congress in the Tenth district ,
in which 3 J. C. Black was returned as

question about it the two candidates
will resubmit themselves to a vote of

created in the Sixth Massachusetts district -
trict by the death of Representative
William Cogswell , an election to supply -
ply the place will probably be held November -

The Cost of Cleaning Berlin.
It is true that municipal affairs are ,
generally speaking , conducted here
more economically and much more
thoroughly than is the case in Amet'i-
can cities. Thus in 1575 the streets of
Berlin , covering a total area of 6,750-
000 square meters , were cleaned at an
annual expenditure of 2,000,000 marks
( ° 500,000) ) . Now , the area of Berlin
streets having increased by 1395 to over.
5,000,000 square meters , the streets are
cleaned far but $400,000-and cleaned ,
let me say , better than in any other
large city in the world. This is duo to
system , to the excellent pavements ,
constantly renewed and mended , and
to machine sweeping , which costs 60
per cent less than the sweeping done
by hand , It is the same with the
street sprinkling. This is done during
the season whenever needed , on hot ,
dusty days twice , and 1,200,000 cubic
meters of water are used up in the
thorough system of sprinkling between
April l and November 15. The city
does it at an expense of but 2,3i4.010
marks this year.-Cor. Chicago Record.

Building by Mneliinery.
The cost of building is wonderfully
reduced by the use of machinery. Walls
made of brick , stone , cement , plaster ,
etc. , are reduced in cost more than one-
half. Large buildings , the estimate of
which is about one dollar per cubic
foot , can be built for thirty or forty
cents per cubic foot by the employment
of labor-saving machinery and devices.
Cement and mortar , all the materials
for stone work , with the brick and
stone itself , may be mixed and handled
almost entirely by machinery. A derrick -
rick , lifter anti crane will perform in
an incredible short space of time work
that it formerly took days and scores
of men to complete. It would be advantageous -
vantageous if the same power and appliances -
pliances could be so arranged as to be
utilizable in small towns on the same
principle as those used in the large
cities. As it now is in suburban localities -
ities , almost everything is done by
hand.-N. T. Ledger.
To Cleanse the System

Preservation of lti nod.
Common pine or even basswood may
be rendered almost indestructible. it is
said , by soaking in a solution composed
of one part blue vitriol and twenty of
water. A French railway contractor
announces a method of treating planks ,
etc. , that greatly enhances their value.

In about a week the wood becomes impregnated -

in mines and other exposed constructions -
tions with good results. Dr. 1'euclt-

Electric Development.
A combination of the Westinghouse
Electric and Baldwin Locomotive
works is surely a very appropriate ar-
rangemeut in these times of electrical
development It looks very much like
taking time by the forelock , and it is a
big step in the direction of superseding
steam with electricity. Perhaps , we
shall see , one of these days , the same
locomotives that now go lumbering
noisily along under a bight steam pressure -
