Advice From tho Journal Detroit Mich The following communication is from Tyndall S D and was lately received by Dr Williams Medicine Companv Tyndall S D Sept 10 1SJJG Dr Williams Med Co SchenectadyN Gentlemen I wish to tate that in 1SSS I began to suffer with diabetes and for four years or until 1802 was under the care of a physician who declared I was cured Early in 1814 1 began to bloat a good deal my kidneys Avere feverish and did not do their work urination was painful my hearts action was impaired and 1 had a penornl sense of suffocation nnd chronic roiistipalloirMy dreams were troubled my digestion being so bad that I could only sleep a few minutes and I would often wake with my limbs numb and feel as though 1 were going to die I was of course unable to do any work for though not confined to my bed labor was impossible and so I continued until1 July 1SJ3 when I began to take Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People I Lad not used half the first box before I began to get relief and after taking five boxes considered myself cured though as I still have twinges in my back 1 am continuing the use of the pills I shall always feel grateful for the good Dr Williams Pink Pills have done me and though my means are limited I shall certainly take them when necessary Yours very truly STEPHEN T SEYMOUR Tyndall S D Dr Williams PinkPilItf contain in a condensed form all the elements

QUIT WHEN EVEN How a German Scholar Squared Hio Last Account -with the World Germany has a peculiarly German kind of wretchedness the wretched ness of the highly educated poor Hard ly a winter passes without some school masters dying for want of the ordinary necessaries of life The never ending production of doctors of philosophy doctors of law doctors of music and doctors of theology has filled the offices of churcb and state and school to over flowing So around the fringe of offi cial life the whole length and breadth of the empire there hangs a hungry poorly clad disheartened and embit tered contingent of Ph Ds LL Ds and other less betitled scholars If any person -wishes to learn how bitter is the end -of one of these unem ployed scholars he should read the story of Paul Eulenburg doctor of jurispru dence who took his life in Blasewitz three weeks ago He was the son of a Berlin professor of medicine He mar ried 12 j ears ago and lived in unmar red happiness with his wife He had three children 9 5 and 2 years old all girls He had written much for magazines and newspapers had pub lished several modest books and had turned his hand to one play Our Bis marck which was presented repeated ly in small Saxon towns last winter He and his wife lived in a flat in Blasewitz and eked out a comfortable living with his literary earnings Last winter his income commenced to grow smaller and gradually dwindled until there was none left Then he tried for odd jobs All failed He pawned all his furni ture to pay his bills The largest of these was for 51250 Finally a bill for 70 cents found him at the end of all his resources He locked the doors and windows of his t flat he did not open them to the man who called for the 70 cents This cred itor got an order from a court to en able him to seize part of Eulenburg s furniture He and a court officer broke in the front door of the Eulenburg flat In the first room they found the thre e ichildren in a row on the floor All three were dead In the next room lay Eulenburg and his wife on the bed dead Eulenburg left a note saying that the struggle for a Chance to earn his bread had become hopeless He had poisoned the children his wife and himself with prussic acid The tradesman found his 70 cents in a little nickel pile on the bureau accompanied with a copy of the bill The janitress found her months pay in an envelope addressed to her Eulenburg had paid his last debt He gave up the struggle just even with the world lor Fifty Cents Millions of men who are daily Tobaccy Spitting and Smoking Their Lives Away will be glad to learu that the makers of the famous guaranteed tobac co habit cure that has freed over 400000 tobacco users in the last few years have put on the market a 50 cent package of their great remedy This will give every tobacco user a chance to test power to control the desire for tobacco in every form and at the same time be bene fited by nerve strengthening qualities Every tobacco user should pj cure a 50 eent box at once from his drug gist or order it by mail You will be sur prised to see how easily and quickly the desire for tobacco disappears Any read er can obtain a sample and booklet free by

cieties of Pennsylvania are giving their attention to a substitute for the gal lows They have concluded that the most humane method of extinguishing the life of the criminal sentenced to death is by the use of gas and they propose to present a bill to the Legisla ture this winter providing for the change Cascabets Etimuatp Uver kdnerg and bowels Sex er Eicken weasen or srlre 10c wzmmm ambulance ship to aid wound AN ed and drowning men during a naval engagement is the latest addition to the United States navy and Surgeon General Tryon and Secretary Herbert both believe they have figures and statements showing that such a craft would save the lives of 50 per cent of the injured in a conflict who would probably die under present con ditions of service As the ambulance ship will have to be the target of shot and shell those in charge will have to face death in order to save life and rare courage will necessarily be the requisite for officers and attendants The vessels utilized for the service will have to be swift steamers of good ca pacity for sick room and yet not so large as to prevent quick turning and rapid darting around among a fleet of vessels It is an unwritten law of every civij Ized nation that a wounded man and the man who aids Lim should both be protected and it is calculated that the crew of the ambulance ship will be in sured the same treatment accorded the Bed Cross brigade In naval conflicts a great number of men are blown into the water and many uninjured men fall from the rigging into the ocean It is a curious fact that three fifths of the sailors in the different navies cannot swim and therefore in many instances Shot Fired Fifteen Miles From twelve to thirteen miles is the computed range of the most powerful guns now made but the longest dis tance that a shot has been fired is a few yards over fifteen miles which was the range of Krupps 130 ton steel gun firing a shot weighing 2C00 pounds The 111 tou Armstrong gun tMM777777A also has an extreme range of fourteen miles firing a shot weighing 1S00 pounds and requiring 960 pounds of powder but quick firing guns are more depended upon at the present day than guns with such extreme length of xange Of quick firing guns the most wonderful is perhaps the Maxim which can fire as many as GOO shots a minute and yet is so light that a sol dier can carry it strapped on his back Krupps 130 ton gun and Armstrongs 111 ton proved too expensive being un able to stand firing 100 times and their manufacture has practically been abandoned The gun most favored per haps is the twenty-two-ton Armstrong which hurls a solid shot for a distance of twelve miles London News They Too Catch the Influenza Half the pianos of this country catch winter colds exactly as we do They get hoarse or have a cough or a stiff note or some similar complaint which cannot be cured by home remedies but which requires tedious and expensive doctoring In order to prevent these avoidable THE OCEAN AMBULANCE IN ACTION ailments a piano should be kept in a moderately warm room where the temperature is even say GO or 70 de grees the year round not cold one day and hot the next The instrument should not however be too near the to drop from the rigging or to be acci 1 source of heat It should be kept dentally forced overboard during a bat tle is sometimes as sure death as to stop a bullet The men on board the am bulance ship will be looking for just such accidents all the time and boats crews will be dispatched if such aid is needed During the last naval battle between the Austrian and Italian fleets 30 years ago more than 400 men were drowned who could have easily been saved had an ambulance ship been in attendance It is proposed that the new am bulance ships should be fitted up like naval hospitals The ships will be con trolled by a naval ambulance associa tion for the treatment of sick and wounded at sea and while the govern ment would exercise a parental guard ianship the ambulance ship would really be a ship of mercy The spar deck where there is the greatest amount of air will be devoted to the most seri ous cases ana auuinonai warus win be located in the remaining decks of the vessel while artificial ventilation will be produced by means of a steam spray extracting apparatus as well as a steam fan blast that will pump in an adequate supply of fresh air closed and covered with a

a very large hat and its proudest decoration was a bunch of bird paradise tail feathers She came into church with the most devout air imaginable and knelt for a moment in silent prayer The bald headed man just in front of her twitched uneasily His head moved from side to side He lifted one hand and brought it smartly down on the top of his bald head and the tips of my ladys bird of paradise feathers which had been tickling it After that a very red faced woman sat bolt upright in her pew while a bald headed man just in front turned pur ple and what in any other place would have been a

although naval authorities have protested against it for years for owing to the hawse holes this is a part of the ship most likely to be flooded in case of heavy weather It is the sea sick quarter of the ship also Of course it would be absolutely impos sible for an ambulance ship to care for all the wounded during an engagement unless that engagement were simply be tween two vessels The truth of this statement is shown by the fact that the ordinary battle ship whose complement is 500 men will have within a few minutes of the time action begins thirty men killed and 120 wounded signed O W Holmes He immediately got down his dictionary and with much effort discovered that he had been to the peace jubilee had soiled his boots so thoroughly with dirt that he did not like to go downtown in such a plight and had stopped and asked Mr Porters -servant for a footbrush that he might clean up his boots and he had dignified this rather menial perform ance by writing it all out in Latin am

Eddy a merchant of New York and a resident of Bayonne in New Jersey Leslies Weekly says Mr Eddy began making kites for the amusement of his children and so be came interested in their construction and in flying them The fad was pur sued so successfully that he has invent ed new kinds of kites and has raised them to altitudes never attained before Recently he has been experimenting with kite borne cameras and has taken snap shots at the things below It is likely that such photographs In time of war might reveal the position of an enemy and the condition of his de fenses The pictures so far taken are certainly curious and interesting The small boy will be astonished to learn that Mr Eddy scorns a tail to any of his kites and has long ago discarded them as obsolete Some of his kites are

take long for a wise judge and an intelligent jury to apply the law to them There is quite as little doubt that substantial justice was done when the defendant in this case was convicted and sentenced
