The EXPERIENCE
Of All Who Become Patients Of DR.,
Walker
EXPRESSED BY ONE MAN
AN ENGIN EER.

Mr.. James W. King, an engineer, living
at 25l6 F street northwest, stated recently
i'll an interview that for Elk years he had suf
fered with nervous and general debility.
When lie called on DR.. Walker he could not
walk three yards without stopping to rest.
He had shoTtness OF breath headache, con
stipation, dizziness, bad taste in the mouth,
and all the dreadful symptoms that belong
To this nervous disorder, Mr.. King says
further that he went to almost every doctor
in Washington without receiving any beue
fit. AT last, after having almost lost con-
fidence in doctors, he determined to see DR..
Walker.
Dr.. Walkers thorough examination and
masterful manner SO impressed him that
he placed himsclf under the doctors treat
ment. Almost at once he began TO i'm
prove. All the dreadful symptoms were
at once aleviated After pursuing the
course of treatment for a few months, Mr..
King found himself entirely restored. His
health, strength, and nerve energies at
their very best.

AN ALARMING STATEMENT
CONCERNING WOMEN.
HOW BAD HABITS ARE FORMED.

The NezV Y0rk Tribune says: The habit of
taking headache powders is increasing to an
. alarming extent among great number of wo-
throughout the country. These powders as
their name indicates are claimed by the manu-
facturers to be positive and speedy cure for any
form of headache. In many cases their chief
ingredient is morphine, opium cocaine or some
other equally injurious drug having a tendeSgy
to deaden pain. The habit of taking them is
easily formed, but almost impossible to shake
of. Women usually begin taking them to re-
heve raging headache and soon resort to the
powder to alleviate any little pain or ache they
may be subjected to, and finally like the NOR
phine or opium fiend, get into the habit of taking
them regularly, ii1ag sl:.; that they are in pain
if they happen TO miss their regular dose"
In nine cases out of ten, the trouble is
in the stomach and liver. Take simple
laxative and liver tonic and remove the
offending matter which deranges the
stomach and causes the headache. DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are composed
entirely of the purest, concentrated,
vegetable extracts. One Pellet is a
dose; sugar-coated, easily swallowed;
once used, alsOays in .faooy. They posi-
lively cls,e sick headache and remove
the disposition to it.

The neglected condition of the tomb of
Abraham Lincoln is again brought to the
attention of the public by the action of the
Pennsylvania Legislature in passing a reso-
luton urging that the State of Illinois take
direct charge of the mausoem of the great
President. The State of Illinois is certain
ly rich and public spirited enough to as
sumo this charge, though it might plead
with justice that respect for I4incoln's last
resting place is national duty. The treat
ment of the graves of the great dead of
America is apt to be characterized by
spasmodic enthusiasm at the outset fol-
lowed by spasmodic attention. 1t is time
that Lincoln's tomb became the charge
either of the State the Nation he
honored. We are glad to learn that Gen.
Grants tomb will soon cease to be sug-
gestive of national forgetfufness. Gen.
Horace Porter gives assurance that within
two years a stately mausoleum will rise

the Union. The contracts have been let and
