From the Times, Owego. N. Y.

Having been informed that Mr.. Harlln
Scott, of the town of Candor, Tioga Co,
n. Y. had received great benefit from the
use of Pink Pills, a reporter of the Owe
go Times drove out to Mr.. Scott's farm
and found that gentleman hard at work
and apparently in the best of health. On
making inquiry as to the truth Of report,
Mr.. Scott was very enthusiastic and cheer
fully furnished the following affidavit:
Harlin j.. Scott, being duly sworn, says
that he is a farmer living in the own of
Candor, Tioga County. State of New
York. Had formerly lived in Caroline,
Tompkins County. n. Y. For several
years was afflicted with a disease of the
skin, in which brown spots and sores ap-
peared upon his face, neck and body. At
times suffered a burning, prickling or
itching sensation that was terribly annoy
ing and disagrceable, especially so when
perspiring, and was unable to work. Con
suited the local physician, who said my
liver and blood We're diseased. His pres
sription did not benefit me. / took blood
remedies recommended by druggists, with
no help. A friend called my attention to
Pink Pills for Pale People. Ipurchased a
box of a druggist in Ithaca in February,
1891. The first box had a beneficial effect.
Have continued to take them, and there is
scarcely any spots or pimples on my body.

Diseases which heretofore have been sup

spread to the far ends of civilization and
there is hardly a drug store in this

DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a
condensed torn, all the elements neces-
sary to give new life and richness to the

are an unfailing specific for such diseases
as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, st.

witch Stirrups.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
In the last Dispatch the qnesuoh 10
asked. What causes a horses name ~
be tied up like stirrup?
There is a constant current OF electricity
given of from the body of an animal
which can be proved by filling a tup tuii
of water and suspending the hind ieSs OF
a frog across the top edge oil the tuo'
one leg being in the water ana the other
on the outer side of the tub. Now, II goa
will nut n finger In the water on the OPP
posite side of the tub TO that upon when
the frogs legs are suspended, cohNu<
sive movement will be perceived In the
frogs legs, caused by the electricity given
OF from the body Of the person. WITCH
stlrrups are oftener seen in young horses
than in old ones, because there Is
greater amount of electricity IN young
than IN old animals.
The stirrup is formed thus: The hair or
the name OF the horse is.a conductor OF
electricity (the body of an animal con-
tains more electricity at one time than
at another), and when that fluid passes
along the hair ii causes the hair 10
contract and form a sort Of helix. When
a number Of hairs are thus affected ana
brought together by the strong contrac-
ton caused by the electricity, and come
in contact with another bunch OF hairs.
that has undergone the same process,
the two lunches are twisted together
By the contraction going on in each, and a
sort of stirrup Is formed, known as a
witch or haga stirTup.
This reason all horses are not affected
in this way is that there Is "a difference
in the structure Of the hairs OF the i!f-
ferent horses, some being so as TO make
them much easier 10 curl than others.
Just as the hair OF some people Is natu-
rally easy to curi and that OF others not.
