A HELPLESS FABMEE
William Stimpson Stricken with Pa
ralysis of His lKwcr Limbs Caused
by Overwork
Frtm the New Era Grecnsburg 2nd
Many of our readers may rcanember an
item in tills paper a year ago last fall
which stated that Mr William Stimpson
a well-to-do farmer living near llugby
lad had been stricken with paralysis of
the lower limbs and his recovers was
doubtful
The ease which was an unusually se
vere and complicated one has at last
been entirely cured to the utmost sur
prise and joy of Mr Stimpson and his
family
Mr Stimpson was pleased to relate to
a reporter the particulars regarding his
case and his subsequent recovery
A year ago last fall began Mr
Stimpson I did a large amount of work
My lured help left me in the middle of
corn cutting and I Gnished the fall work
myself doing an unusually large amount
of work I put up several hundred shocks
of fodder and also husked all my corn
To accomplish this I had to work early
nd late
About the first of December as I was
getting my fall work about done I suffer
ed a stroke of paralysis which the phy
sician said was brought on by excessive
labor My left limb was entirely helpless
and my right limb was fast becoming so
My physician became uneasy and after
attending upon me for a week or so he
brought me a box of Dr Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People saying that he be
lieved they would do me more good than
anything which he knew of as he had
used them with great success in a case
very similar to mine where all other reme
dies had failed The case in question was
that of L Phillips of Petersville
About the time I began taking the
second box of these pills a decided change
was noticed and when I had taken two
more boxes we discovered that I was ac
tually getting well You can probably
imagine what a relief and feeling of glad
ness this was to me after being confined
to my bed for nearly two months Well
I kept on taking the pills according to di
rections until I had consumed nine boxes
of them which completely cured me
I am sound and well to day with not
a sign of the returning affliction and can
affirm that Dr Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People did me a wonderful good and
probably saved me from the grave
To allay all doubt as to the truth of his
statement Mr Stimpson made out the
following sworn affidavit
Rugby Ind Feb 2 1897
This is to certify that I do hereby
swear that the foregoing statement is ab
solutely true

The New Era was also informed that
Mrs Charles Williams of the same
neighborhood had been cured of rheuma
tism and Henry Johnson of Hartsville
who was troubled with neuralgia was
also cured by Dr Williams Pink Pills
It seems that this remedy is in great de
mand in that neighborhood

JAPANS REAT ENTERPRISE IN
AMERICA
LARGE APPROPRIATION BY IM
PERIAL DIET
To Inform Americans How to Make
Tea
Several months ago the Japanese Tea
Guild sent to this country a special com
mission composed of Mr S Slitsubashi
President of the Shizuoka Prefectural As
sembly and Mr J Ohara member of
Japanese Parliament to investigate the
condition of the Japanese tea trade in the
United States and Canada and to co-operate
with Mr T Furuya and Mr T
Mizutany the American representatives
of the Jupanese Tea Guild in giving pub
licity to the merits of Japanese Teas and
the method of preparing them for drink
ing which would insure the best results
Mr Furuya and Mr Mizutany are plan
ning to open Tea Bazars in many of the
principal cities in the United Staes and
Canada where ladies can enjoy a cup of
fine Japanese tea made by expert and at
the same time receive instructions which
will enable them to make it equally well
at home More than half the Tea con
sumed in the United States and Canada is
of Japanese growth yet the majority of
Americans apparently do not understand
how to prepare it so as to develop the
delicious qualities which it contains It
is believed by these gentlemen thit when
Americans are in possession of the secret
of making good tea the consumption in
this country will fully equal that of Eu
rope in proportion The Japanese Gov
ernment has appropriated a large fund to
aid the Japanese Tea growers and Tea
merchants in prosecuting this educational
work and it is hoped that American ia
dies will be apt students The main Bu
reau of the Japanese Tea Guild has issued
an official recipe for making Japanese
Tea the translation of which is as fol
lows
First Use a small dry and thorough
ly clean porcelain teapot
Second Put in one teaspoonful of tea
leaves for each cup of tea desired
Third When using Japanese teas pour
on the required quantity of fresh boiled
water and let stand with closed lid from
two to three minutes Never boil the
leaves In order to retain the natural fla
vor Japanese tea leaves should be kept
in tight can or jar free from moisture
Note To thoroughly enjoy the natural
delicate and sweet flavor of Japanese
Teas neither sugar nor cream should be
used

Just prior to the closing examinations I was compelled to work exceed
