CHRONIC RHEUMATISM
From the Industrial Neios Jackson Mich
The subject of this sketch is fifty six
years of age and actively engaged in
Vanning When seventeen years old he
hurt his shoulder and a few years after
commenced to have rheumatic pains in it
On taking a slight cold or the least strain
the trouble would start and he would suf
fer the most excruciating pains
He suffered for over thirty years and
the last decade has suffered so much that
he was unable to do any work To this
frequent dizzy spells were added mak
ing him almost a helpless invalid
In all Sorts of Weather
He tried the best physicians and used
several specific rheumatism cures without
being benefited About one year and six
months ago he read in this paper of a
case somewhat similar to his which was
cured by Dr Williams Pink Pills and
concluded to try this remedy
After taking the first box he felt some
what better and after using three boxes
the pains entirely disappeared the dizzi
ness left him and he has now for over a
year been entirely free from all his former
trouble and enjoys better health than he
he has had since his boyhood
He is loud in his praises of Dr Will
iams Pink Pills for Pale People and will
gladly corroborate the above statements
His postoflice address is Lorenzo Neeley
Horton Jackson County Michigan
All the elements necessary to give new
life and richness to the blopd and restore
shattered nerves are contained in a con
densed form in Dr Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People All druggists sell them

MEN CALL WOMAiN A MYSTEKY
So She is to Them Not so to a Woman
A Womans Knowledge Saves Mrs Ebbcrt From an Operation
A woman understands women as a man never can hope
to For this reason Mrs Lydia E Pinkham of Lynn
Mass now known all over the English speaking1 world
set to work to help her sex
After long and patient investigation Mrs Pinkham
confirmed her own conclusions namely that seven-
eighths of the sufferings of women are due to dis
orders of the uterine system Reasoning on this line
she saw that the only preventive of early breaking
down was a specific medicine which would act
alone on the female organism
This was why she prepared her excellent Vegetable Compound which
has been such a boon to thousands and thousands of women If you have
headaches chiefly at the top of the head and are troubled by painful menstrua
tion dizziness sleeplessness backache and that bearing down feeling Lydia
E Pinkhams Vegetable Compound will tone up your -whole system Mrs Chab
D Ebbert 330 Wood St Reading Pa testihes to the
great power of the Compound
Mrs Pinkham I can say that your medicine has cured
me of the pains and troubles which I had My case
a very had one and puzzled the doctor My womb 1
fallen and I had terrible pains in my hack andhips
I could hardly walk My husband went to our fam
ily doctor and he prescribed medicine for me but
Ifoundno relief and grew worse instead of better
The doctor examined me and wanted to perform an
operation but my husband would not consent Seeing
the advertisement in the paper I got a bottle of Lydia
E Pinkhams Vegetable Compound and before I had
f
taken half of the second bottle I felt like a new wo
man In all I have taken four bottles of your medicine and can say that I am
entirely cured I hope that every woman suffering as I did will follow my ad
iice1 and tike your medicine at once

Dr G K Gilbert of the Geological
Survey says that a comparison of gage
records for a period of twenty years
shows that the land surrounding the

from northeast to southwest at such a
rate that of two points 100 miles apart
the northern rises five inches with ref
erence to the southern in 100 years At
Chicago the lake level rises about one
inch in ten years Dr Gilbert predicts
tihat if this movement continues in
about 3000 years all the upper lakes
will discharge Into the Illinois River
the Detroit and St Clair Rivers will
flow backward carrying the water of
Lake Erie into Lake Huron and the
Niagara River will run dry

Submarine Cables
The laying of the Atlantic cables was
not the uncertain experiment that is
commonly supposed for years before
any attempt was made to connect the
old and new world with electric wires
submarine cables had been made a suc
cess The first was laid in 1850 be
tween Dover and Calais a copper wire
covered with gutta percha It soon
failed and was replaced in 1851 by a
cable of four wires which proved en
tirely successful In 1853 six cables
were laid between England and Ire
land in 1S54 five others the longest
about 100 miles In 1855 a cable was
laid from Varna to Constantinople 1G0
miles for service in the Crimean war
The Atlantic Telegraph Company
was organized by Cyrus W Field in
1S5C and made two attempts to lay the
Atlantic cable one in 1857 the second
in the following year Both were fail
ures but the third attempt proved suc
cessful and in August 1858 tele
graphic communication was establish
ed between the continents The cable
however worked for only a few weeks
and then failed public confidence in
the scheme was lost the civil war
came on and not until 1865 could the
capitalists of Europe and America be
induced to take up the project anew
In that year a cable was partially laid
by the Great Eastern but snapped and
in the following year another cable
was taken out and successfully laid be
tween Europe and America Mr Field
devoted over twelve years of incessant
labor to his project and in its Interest
crossed the Atlantic fiftv three times

to this pa
per says
during the
past few
months so
much has been said and written of
Western Canada and tho new provinces
forming it he has been led to give the
subject some inquiry and he has been
shown letters written to the Canadian
Government from delegates sent out by
friends to inspect the country
One of these delegates who was sent
to Western Canada says In under
taking to give a description I fear I
shall not be able to give it justice for
I hardly know where to begin or when
to end For a plea for my judgment
I will assume for an illustration the
experience of a man who went from
place to place in search of a wife and
finding so many of good qualities and
attractions was unable to determine
which to choose so in looking for a
home in Western Canada I like the
country well and two of my boys are
going this fall they have since gone
and each has a homestead where 1
am satisfied they will do well The
lands which 1 have seen are far supe
rior in every respect and beyond my
expectations Lakes and streams to be
found in all districts abound with innu
merable kinds of water fowl while fish
are very abundant On all sides we see
innumerable stacks of grain proving
beyond doubt the fertility of the soil
On either side of the track can be seen
iu addition to the grain herds of cattle
horses and flocks of sheep I have
traveled over a great portion of the
Western States and I have seen nothing
to compare with this country One
hundred aud sixty acres of land are
given free to actual settlers and I saw
cases where as high as S20 per acre had
been cleared in one year I do not wish
to advise anyone but as for myself 1
shall leave as soon as I can arrange my
affairs The agents of the Canadian
Government are now at work organiz
ing excursion parties and the Depart
went of the Interior at Ottawa Canada

This is what
a prominent physician saysl
have given my own children the
ness in bottle feeding I have
studied the so called easily-
cleaned nursing bottles and I
long ago came to the conclusion
that a little Pearline would ren
der ordinary nursing bottles the
safest utensils of them all I firmly believe that children
properly fed and cleanly fed will avoid the majority of the
difficulties which they encounter during the first two years of
life I believe that if every feeding bottle was washed with
Pearline many innocent lives would be saved
Surely this is a matter to interest every mother J Nothing
so thoroughly cleanses as Pearline
