DIR. WILLIAMS MEDICINE Co.:

endorse or recommend any Of the so-called
proprietary preparations, i shall, neverthe-
less, give you an account of some of my
wonderful experiences with your prepare
tion DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie. The fact is well-known that medical
practitioners DO not as a rule, recognize,
much less, use preparations Of this kind,
consequently the body of them have no def
mite knowledge Of their virtue or lack of il,
but soundly condemn them all without a
trial. Such course is manifes:ly absurd
and unjust, and |, for one, propose 10 give
my patients the best treatment known 10 me,
for the particular disease with which they
are suffering, no matter what IL il, where or
how obtained. was first brought 10 pre-
scribe Dr. Williams Pink Pills about two
years ago, after having seen some remark
able results from their use. Reuben Hoover,
now Of Reading Pa, was prominent con-
tractor and builder. While experimenting
the work of erecting large building during
cold weather, he contracted what was thought
10 be sciatica. He having first noticed il one
morning in not being able 10 arise from his
bed. After the usual treatment for this dis
ease he failed 10 improve, but on the con-
trary grew rapidly worse, the case develop
ing into Hemiphlegia, or partial paralysis
Of the entire right side of the body. Flee
tricity, tones and massage, etc. were all
given a trial, hut nothing gave any benefit,
and the paralysis continued. In despair he
was compelled TO hear his physician an
nounce that his case war hopeless. About
that time his wife noticed one Of your adj

A New Kind of Corn.

While in Shellman recently the Cuthbert
Leader man was shown by Sid Hays of the
Fourth district, the first bale man of
Sheilman, IA specimen of a curious kind of
corn, which is something new to this
country. In length and size it resembles
an ordinary ear of corn, but instead of the
shuck being put on in the usual way each
grain is incased in shuck by itself,
and we imagine to shuck it would re-
quire "A different machine from any we
know of ut present. Mr.. Hays informed
us that it Is known Us the Texas stock
corn and is very prolific, even the tassei
having IA considerable quantity of corn
