HEADACHE AND DYSPEPSIA.

William E. Rockwell, No. 512 West 57th
Street. New York, says:
II have been a martyr to bilious headache
and dyspepsia. Any indiscretion in diet, over
fatigue or cold, brings on fit of indigestion,
followed by headache lasting two or three
days at time. 1 think / must have tried over
twenty different remedies, which were recon-
mended as certain cures by loving friends, but
it was no use At last thought would take
simple course of purgation with BRANDETHs
PILLS. For the first week took two pills every
night, then one pill for thirty nights in that
time gained three pounds in weight, and never
have had an ache or pain since"
Disease in one part OF the body will eventually
fill the whole body with disease. Every year or
two some part of the system grows weak and
begins to decay Such part should be removed
at once, and new matter be allowed to take its
place. There's no need of cutting it out with a
surgeons scalpel Purge away the old, dis
eased and wornout parts with BRANDETH's
PILLS.

A STARTLING AFFAIR.
-Four Masked Men Make q Daring At
tempt at Train Robbery.

IRON GATE, Va, Dec. 14.-A desperate
attempt at train robbery was made Mon
day night just as a Chesapeake x Ohio
vestibule train was pulling out OF Hunt
ington, w. Va. 1t was about IL o'clock
and the train was just getting well under
way, when the doors of the day cars were
thurst open and four masked men with
two pistols each called upon the pas
sengers to throw up their hands.
Two OF the passengers seized one OF the
robbers, throwing him down and attempt
ed to disarm him. In the scuffie one OF
the passengers, a German from Cincinnati
was mortally wounded, the ball entering
his abdomen. Another passenger, Peter
Drake of Cincinnati, was twice wounded,
one ball entering his leg and one his arm.
Meanwhile ticket collector Zingley Sc

bers, emptying all OF the barrels OF the
pistol.
The robbers then tore on their masks
and the whole train was in intense ex-
citement, women tainted, children scream
ing, and everybody who could were seek
ing shelter under the seats. The robbers,
seeing their game was up, pulled the bell
cord, stopped the train and jumped OF In
the darkness. 1t is thought that one or
two of them were wounded, but this is

local capitalists, and they Immediately
agreed to place enough money in Mr..

his plans. The new device will be at
tached to the ordinary telephones and
