AN ALPENA MIRACLE.
JAS. VI. TODD OF LONG
RAPIDS DISCARDs CRUTCHEs.
In an Interview with a
n Reviews Her Experiences and
Tells the Real Cause o. the Miracle.
Alpena, Michigan. Argus.

From Alpena, Michigan, Argus,
We have long known Mrs. Jas. NJ.
Todd of Long Rapids, Alpena County,
Mich. She has been a sad cripple.
Many Of her friends know the story Of
her recovery; for the benefit OF those
who do not we publish it to-day.
Eight years ago she was taken with
nervous prostration. and in q few
months with muscular and infiamma-
tory rheumatism. 1t affected her heart,
then her head. Her feet became so
swollen she could wear nothing on
them: her hands were drawn all out OF
shape. Her eyes were swollen shut
more than half the time. her knee
joints terribly swollen and for eighteen
months she had to be held up to be
dressed. One limb became entirely
helpless, and the skin was so dry and
cracked that 1t would bleed. During
these eight years she had been treated
by a score Of physicians and has also
spent much time at Ann Arbor under
best medical advice. All said her
trouble was brought on by hard work
n that medicine would not cure, and
that rest was the only thing which
would ease her. After going to live
with her daughter she became entirely
helpless and could not even raise her
arms to cover herself at night. The
interesting part Of the story follows In
her w words:
Il was urged to try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, and ct last
did so. In three days after | com
menced taking Pink Pills l could sit up
and dress myself, and after using them
six weeks / went home and commenced
working. l continued taking the pills,
until now / begin to forget my clutches
II can go up and down stairs without
aid. l am truly n living wonder.
Now, If | can say anything to in
duce those who have suff red as / have
to try Pink Pills, l shall gladly dc so.
If other like sufferers will try Pink
Pills according to directions, they viii
have reason TO thank God for creating
men who were able to conquer that ter
rible disease, rheumatism. l have in
my own neighborhood recommended
Pink Pills for the after effects OF la
grippe, and weak women with impure
blood, and with good results"
Mrs. Todd is very strong In her faith
In the curative powers of Pink pills,
and says they have brought n poor,
helpless cripple back to do her w
milking, churning, washing, sewing,
knitting, and, In fact, about all OF her
household duties.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are for sale by
all druggists, or may be had by mail
from DR.. Williams Medicine Company,
Schenectady, n. Y, for soc per box, or
six boxes for $3.50.

Nicksey's eyes fell upon the two

generally very unpleasant.

Roman villa in an eycAn~tr condition

with red tiles and flags and plain con

Tetricus picked up.
Among the other treasures were q
knife, a spear-head, carpenters tools,
nails. bone pins, pieces Of chain, bronze
armlets, earthenware vessels, and q
sandal. From the tessellated rooms
run two walls OF striking substance
and sOlidity. They are stated to be
four feet thick, twenty-siX PAGES long,
and faced with tiles to a depth of sew
enteen courses. These walls stand ten
feet apart, and ut one end of them is
a semicircular structure, with a drain
for letting In the water and an outlet.
1t is conjectured that these may have
