THE GUARDS STORY.
From "a state .tournaI. Liaeoln. N

From The state Journal, LtHo0ln. Ntb.
There is probably not a stronger man or
more trustworthy guard employed at the
Nebraska State Penitentiary than j. T.
Ralston. To a stranger he appears a very
good example of the man who boasts that
ne never was sick a day in his life.
For many years Mr.. Ralston lived at Sy-
~-acuse, Nebraska, and the old residents
here remember him as one of the strongest
and healthiest OF their number.
In $50 or whereabouts, when the "grip''
first broke forth in this section of the coun-
Try, it claimed him as one Of its earliest vic
Tins. Like most men with a strong phys.
que, he sneered at the disease and did not
guard properly against it. For days he lay
in bed and left it only as a confirmed in
valid.
About this time he moved with his family
10 Peru, Nebraska, where some of his chill
iren were attending the State Normal
School. He hoped the change would do him
good, but he was disappointed. He doctored
with the local physicians, and even with his
own son who was practiclng medicine. All
seemed TO no avail, and miserable in mind
and body, the poor man told his family that
be feared there was no hope for him.
A happy thought of his WI led him TO try
strong stimulants. He was again able TO
work. But he soon found that his relief
wiz DuJ UtulDDIuTNs anu Mltu Ddu weather
came on he was subject to severe attacks OF
the grip" as before.
Two years ago Mr.. Ralston was employed
at the Nebraska State Penitentiary at Lin
coin, the state capital, and enjoyed compar.
alive ease while performing the duties OF
usher. Last fall, however, he was put out
on the wall, and with his change OF work
came his old trouble in even more agra
waited form. He was not only troubled with
the usual miserable feelings Of the grip
but he found himself short of breath and
generally weak, these things uniting him
Tor the duties of his position.
Once more, almost in despair, he sought a
cure, and purchased a box of DR.. vii.
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. He used
them according TO directions and felt better,
Five more boxes followed the first and tho
ong sufferer was a well man.
Said he to a Journal reporter, to whom he
had just given the above facts: 81 feel now
as though | could stack more hay than any
man in Nebraska, and il | needed a position
now l would hunt one on "a harvest field.
Why, only last Sunday night 1 took a Sc.
we're cold, which q year ago would have laid
me up with the grip but now it causes
me only temporary annoyance, and l simply
live it off,
Mr.. Ralston has been long and favorably
known in many parts of Nebraska both as
q private citizen and as q leader in the orig
inal Farmers Alliance movement, and hosts
Of friends rejoice with him in his remarka'
bic recovery, for which he unhesitatingly
gives the credit TO DIR. Williams Pink Pills

densed form, all the elements necessary 10
