FROM the STATE journal, Lincoln, Ne0
There is probably not stronger man or
more trustworthy guard employed at the
Nebraska State Penitentiary than J. T.
good example of the man who boasts that
he never was sick day in his life.
For many years Mr. Ralston lived at Sy-
racuse, Nebraska, and the old residents
there rememb Der him as one of the strongest
and healthiest of their number.
In 'S9 or whereabouts, when the t'grip''
first broke forth in this section of the coun-
try, it claimed him as one Of its earliest vic
Tins. Like most men with a strong phys
ique, he sneered at the disease and did not
guard properly against it. For days he lay
in bed and left it only as a confirmed in
valid.
About this time he moved with his family
to Peru, Nebraska where some of his chill
dren were attending the State Normal
School. He hoped the change would do him
good, but he was disappointed. He doctored
with the local physicians, and even with his
own son who was practlclng medicine. All
seemed to no avail, and, miserable in mind
and body, the poor man told his family that
he feared there was NJ hope for him.
A happy thought of his own led him to try
strong stimulants. He was again able to
work. But he soon found that his relief
was but temporary, and when bad weather
came on he was subject to severe attacks of
the grip" as before.
Two years ago Mr.. Ralston was employed
at the Nebraska State Penitentiary at Lin
col In, the state capital, and enjoyed compar-
alive ease while performing the duties of
usher. Last fall, however, he was put out
on the wall, and with his change of work
came his old trouble in even more aggra-
waited form. He was not only troubled with
the usual miserable feelings of the grip"
but he found himself short of breath and
generally weak, these things uniting him
for the duties of his position.
Once more, almost in despair, he sought a
cure, and purchased a box of DR.. Will
iams' Pink Pills for Pale People. He used
them according to directions and felt better.
Five more boxes followed the first and the
ong sufferer was well man.
Said he to a journal reporter, to whom he
had just given the above facts: 81 feel now
as though | could stack more hay than any
man in Nebraska, and if | needed q position
now | would hunt one on harvest field.
Why, only last Sunday night L took a Sc
we're cold, which a year ago would have laid
me up with the grip but now it causes
me only temporary annoyance, and simply
live it off. -
Mr.. Ralston has been long and favorably
known in many parts of Nebraska both as
private citizen and as leader in the orig
inal Farmers Alliance movement, and hosts
of friends rejoice with him in his remarka-
BILE recovery, for which he unheSitatingly
gives the credit to DIR. Williams Pink Pills
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in con-
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. Pink Pills are
sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid
on receipt of price so cents a box, or six
boxes for 81. 80 they are never sold in bulk
or by the 100 by addressing DR.. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady, n. Y.
Two princes only contributed pa
pers to the geographical congress, and,
queerly enough, both got their money
from Monte Carlo. One is Prince AL
bert of Monaco, whose revenue come
largely from the gambling house,
though he has married a rich wife, the
Duchesse de Richelieu, daughter of the
Jewish banker Heine. The other is
Prince Roland Bonaparte. the son of
Prince Pierre, who shot Victor Noir
immediately before the Franco-Prus-
sian war, and grandson of Napoleon's
brother kucien. He married the
daughter and the millions of NJ. Blanc,
who ran the tables at Homburg and
Monte Carlo and lost his wife withinI
two years after the marriage.
