He Leaped for Lille.

Governor James b. Budd, of Cali

story of an escape from the bite OF a
rattiesnake which he once had: 81

along the Stanislaus. I had been told
of an almost inaccessible pool up the
river at the base of the perpendicular
cliffs, and fairly alive with trout. 1

there was only one way to get hook
in the pool. had to climb on my
hands and knees up steep path to a
sort of shelf on the cliff On the other
side of the shelf was sheer drop OF
forty feet down to the pool. Just as
I dragged myself upon the top of the
ledge the whirr of rattlesnake
startled me. Naturally I jumped to
my feet, exhausted ns I was, but
dropped my fishing rod.
1.-THE ooiled rattler was within two
feet of me and preparing to strike.
Either 7 had to get down on my hands
and knees again or jump forty feet in
to the pool. As I saw the diamond
head of the snake draw back to strike
I decided and jumped. Just as sprung
the rattler struck. I had psir of
moccasins on my feet and the fsngs OF
the snake fastened in the one nearest
him. As / went down I remember see

the pool. It's fangs had caught and 1

even after the disease has progressed so
far as to induce repeated bleedings from
the lungs, severe lingering cough with
copiors expectoraticn (including tubercu-
lar matter), great loss of flesh and extreme
emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery" were genuine cases of that
dread and f;tal disease? You need not take
our word foI it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been SO pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly pTejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery" /"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "enulsions and
mixtures. had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed TO bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos.
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs Of large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, bave been

pages which will be mailed to you, on re-

Treatment for Sprained Ankles.

In these days of bicycling, skating,
tobogganlng and other out-of-door
amusements incident to the seasons,
accidents of various kinds are daily
occurring, not usually serious, but Of
ten painful when seemingly slight.
From time to time one hears OF
different means of caring for sprained
ankles, turned ankles, twisted wrists,
etc., but the way now in vogue seems
to give better results than any in the
past.
It is generally an hour after the &C.
cident that you are called in to see
the case. The patient is suffering
very severely, and wanting very much
to know if "anything is broke" At
ter examining for fractures, the
Southern Medical Journal recon-
mends the parts to be bathed in ex'
tremely hot water, every hour or two,
for q period of fifteen minutes at q
time. Have the water just as hot as
the patient can bear it, and apply
with sponge or cloth, rather than al
low the ankle to lie j. the water.
Then dry and let the part rest quietly,
wrapped in fannels, when an applica
tion OF hamamelis, or veratrum ant
hamamelis, may be made.
Before retiring, apply a fame
bandage tightly around the swolle1
part, only being careful that the cir
culation is not shu e off.
tits surprising how the hot applica
tions relieve the pain and produce ab'
sorption, and how the bandage, by
pressure, prevents swelling and in
fiammation. .-Scientifi American.

AN ALPENA MIRACLE.
MRS. JAS. NJ. TODD, OF LONG RAPIDS,
'DISCARDS HER CLUTCHES.

In An Interview with a Reporter She Re-
views Her Experience and Tells
the Real Cause Of the Miracle.
From the Argus, -4lpe'a, Mich.
We have long known Mrs. Jas. II. Todd,
OF Long Rapids, Alpena Co., Mich. She has
been a sad cripple. Many Of. her friends
know the story Of her recovery; for the bene-
1T of those who do not we publish it to-day.
Eight years ago she was taken with ner-
vous prostration, and in few months with
muscular and infammatory rheumatism. It
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 thai 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 daugh-
ter she became entirely helpless and could
not even raise her arms to cover herself ut
night. The interesting part Of the story to.-
lows in her own words:
II was urged to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People and at last did so. IN

after using them six weeks went home and
commenced working. continued taking
the pills, until now begin to forget my
crutches, and can 50 up and down steps
without aid. am truly living wonder,
walking out Of doors without assistance.
Now, if I can say anything to induce
those who have suffered as I have. to try
Pink Pills, l shall gladly do 80. 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 con-
quer that terrible disease, rheumatism. !

Pink Pills for the after effects Of Ia 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 poor, helpless cripple back to
do her own milking, churning, wishing. sew
ing. knitting and in fact about all Of her
household duties, thanks to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all the ele-
ments necessary to give new lifeand richness
to the blood and restore shattered nerves.
They are for sale by all druggists, or may be
