A PECULIAR CASE.
PHYSICIANS PUZZLED BY THE

The Episcopal Hospital Said She Had
Consumption.
(From the Record, Philadelphia. Pal
Last July the Episcopal hospital ad-

her the victim of consumption. She

That was the beginning of the story. the

THE first symptoms Of consumption
came in the form of terrible sweats,
night and day. From April until
September I was constantly cold and
kept wrapped up in blankets through
took possession of me. my breast was
sore to the slightest touch. and my
limbs were like cold clay. The hardest
rubbing with the coarsest towel would
not create the slightest flush, and the
least exertion would exhaust me.
Il went to the hospital in July and
they diagnosed my case as above stat
ed. 1t was when the clouds were the
darkest that the first CLINT of sunshine
came. Mr.. Shelmerdine. a friend, who
lives around at 1874 Clementine ST., said
to me one day. Mrs. Bowen did you ever
try DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. l had never heard of the medi-
cine. but in my condition could not turn
2 deaf ear to anything that offered re-
uef: 1t was after considerable thought
and Investigation that I concluded to
discontinue all other medicine, in
cluding cod liver oil, and depend
entirely upon Pink Pills I began to
take the pills. at first with but little en-
couragement. The first sign of improve
ment was warmth and tingling sen.
sation in my limbs. Finally the cough
disappeared. my chest lost its soreness
and 1 began to gain flesh until I was
nfteen pounds heavier. All this I owe
TO DR.. Williams Pink Pills and I cannot
praise them too highly"
Mrs. Bowen Is a kindly faced lady of
middle age. church member, we'll

today well and strong and it seems al
most impossible that she was ever xiyen

New York Sun man. but had little
experience in Holland recently which
showed me that business is business all
the world over. I was walking through
one Of the principal squares of Rotter-

preached by a well-dressed. middle
aged man. who had an unlighted cigar
in his hand. He stopped me, and in
good English asked me for a light. I
gave him a light, and was about pass

He led the way through quaint and
crooked streets and over many canals
to tiny tobacco shop in a narrow,
street. We entered the
shop, and my new found friend had a
brief conversation in Dutch with the
woman behind the counter, which re-
suited In the production Of a box Of
cigars from a shelf near by. Taking
my cigar gently out of my hand my
mentor shifted at 1t, and then with a
sudden gesture of disgust threw 1t out
of the doors. He then took q cigar
from the box and offered it to me to try,
saying that it would not cost me any
thing. While was smoking this in a
tentative way he had another CONVEX

and then, having apparently arrived
at some compromise. he told me, with
a glad light in his eyes, that she had

THERE ARE NO BORN NURSES,


of Experience.
A woman who is a trained nurse. oc-
cupying. after years of practice. a su-
perior place in a London hospital, has
been giving a course Of lectures on her
profession. Her first proposition at .
recent talk was that there II NO such
thing as a born nurse; the habit Of OBJ
servation was a duty and the basis Of
nursing. which was an art only to be
learned by practice. Among some
practical utterances of the speaker
were: A sunny sick room, one that was
entered by the sun once in twenty-four
hours, is desirable; patients placed on
the south side in a hospital ward recov-
er sooner, by from ten days to fort
night, than those on the north side.
Plenty Of light is beneficial, except in
cases of brain disease. The less furni-
ture in the room the better, and to keep
1t clean a damp duster should be used
instead of a dry one. The air must be
kept as pure inside as outside, and there
was little or no risk about having the
window open, top and bottom, II the pa

air is not injurious; 1t is purer in city
after 10 p. m. than at any other time.
The bed should never be in a corner,
but accessible from all points. In
fever and surgical cases a cradle" had
sometimes to be used to keep of the
weight Of the bedclothes; an impromptu
cradle could be made out of handbook
with the bottom knocked out. Bed
making was the grammar and keystone
Of nursing; many regular nurses could
not make good bed. 1t was important
toact with decision when the time came
for any office, and not to worry the pa
tient by hesitation or talking of what
was to be done to tread quietly, but
firmly, not on tip toe. and never to
whisper to third person. Every ef-
fort ought to be made to secure for the
patient two hours sleep before mid
night. Amateur nurses often broke
down through neglect to take food
when keeping watch through the night.

To many people Spring and its duties
mean an aching head, tired limbs, and
throbbing nerves. Just as the milder
weather comes, the strength begins to
wane, and "that tired feeling" is the
complaint Of all.
The reason for this condition is
found in the deficient quality Of the
blood. During the winter, owing to
various causes, the blood becomes
loaded with impurities and loses its
richness and vitality. Consequently,
as soon as the bracing effect of cold
air is lost, there is langour and lack of
energy. The cure will he found in
purifying and enriching the blood.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the greatest
and best spring medicine, because it is
the greatest and best blood purifier.
It overcomes that tired feeling because

Alice ate her breakfast in a dazed
sort of way. and all day went about
in delightful dream.
The whole busy holiday week
seemed unreal, and then came the re-
atty; but Alice was a very hOmesick,
lonely girl when her mother was
really out of reach.
Aunt Joanna was so cold and dis
tant, and seemed so to regard the
whole affair as matter of business,
that Alice wondered if she could really
be dear, CHEEKY, loving little mothers
own aunt. And then to feel that
mother would need her-that no one
else could care for her dear mother
quite so well. This was a great
trouble to Alice.
The work at school, too, was very
hard, and she had much to learn and
unlearn, and no one in all the busy
hive seemd to care whether she sue
ceeded or failed. But Alice was proud
and brave, and, after all, what a
pleasure it was to know that she
learned something every day and
was advancing in the art she loved
And by and by, when the first
strangeness wore off, and she made
new friends, how the days did fly.
When she went home in April, she
was very happy girl, although her
aunt gave no sign that she was
pleased with her niece, or would give
her further help.
But in the summer she made them
an unexpected visit, and then Mrs.
Creighton found out what Alice did
not guess-that the Woodworking,
earnest girl, had quite won the old
lady's heart, and that she wanted
Alice again.
s. for several years Alice spent
the winter months in New York, and
the rest of the year at home, working
hard wherever she was; and at last
her work began to attract attention
10 the school, and gain recognition
among artistic people outside.
