AN ALPENA MIRACLE.
MRS. JAS. M. TODD OF LONG RAJ
PIDS DISCARpS CLUTCHES.
In nm Interview with a Reporter She
Reviews Her Experience aud Tells the
Real Cause of the Miracle.

From Alpena, Michigan, Argus.
We have long known Mrs, Jas. M.
Todd Of Long Rapids, Alpena County
Mich. She has been sad cripple
Many Of her friends know the story or
her recovery; for the benefit Of those
who do not we publish 1t to-day.
Eight years ago she was taken with
nervous prostration, and In rev
months with muscular and inflamma-
tory rheumatism. 1t affected her
heart, then her head. Her feet be-
came so swollen she could wear moth
ing 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
and 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 own words:
II was urged to try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and at last
did so. In three days after l com
menced taking Pink Pills I could sit up
and dress myself, and after using them
six weeks l went home and commenced
working. l continued taking the pills,
until now begin to forget my crutches
and can go up and down steps without
aid. I am truly living wonder
"Now,' If l can say anything to In
duce those who have suffered as l have
to try Pink Pills, l shall gladly do so.
II other like sufferers will try Pink
Pills according to directions, they will
have reason to thank God for creating
men who are able to conquer that ter
rible disease, rheumatism. 1 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 a poor,
helpless cripple back to do her own
milking, churning, washing sewing.

household duties.

A PRINCELY MECHANIC
Who Has Worked Himself Up to am

LONDON Letter.
We seem already to have travelled a COM
esiderable distance on the road toward social
democracy when we read an announcement
to the effect that there exists a certain
prince who also holds, or used to hold, the
honorable office of engine driver. Still
stranger is the fact that we have to go to

AN EXPERT ON CREDIT.
Received n Large Income for Giving
Advice to Four Big Firms.

New York SUM-
"A well-dressed, sharp-eyed man entered
the office of one of the biggest jobbing
houses IN New York the other day and said
70 the head OF the firm, a man worth
many millions:

chased goods the dates of shipping and

Information of this sort is most difficult

firm and the bookkeeper ever has access ess
partments. The explanation of this one out
sider's privilege lies in the character of his
business he is engaged in protecting four
or the leading jobbing firms of the United
states, OF which that referred to is one
from bad debts. He does this by examining
their books. Each of these firms has about
the same class of customers, although their
business is not identical. He has a Contract
with each which allows him to examine
It's books at any time. Such examinations
he always makes in person. When it is
understood that there is hardly merchant
OF any standing throughout the country
who does not purchase from one of these
leg enables this person who uses it intelli-
gently to get a pretty thorough knowledge
OF the financial standing and responsibility
of nearly everybody who comes to this
market to buy goods.
This man devotes himself entirely to
the work that he has undertaken for
these four firms. and receives from
ton he makes. He receives no other
pay. He is never applied to by any OF
the firms until after the regular CONNER
cial agencies have made their reports and
the standing of the buyer still remains
in doubt While the rate he charges for
examining an account is very small his
income is said to average $4,000 a year
what they pay him is more than Justified
A member of one of these firms said the
other day that he had saved an average
of IS, 500 a month for the last year through
the information obtained from this ex-
aminer. That is. he would have sold goods
worth that amount to men who sub
seouently failed without paying ANYTHING
by the examiners reports In all these
cases, too. the regular commercial agencies
had reported favorably upon the persons
who had applied for credit.
