4 PECULIAR CASE.
PHYSICIANS PUZZLED BY THE Ex-
PERIENCE OF MRS. BOWEN.

Consumption.

The Episcopal Hospital Said She lad
Consumption.
(From the Record, Philadelphia, Pal
Last July the Episcopal hospital admitted
Q woman whose pale and emaciated face and
racking cough proclaimed her the victim
of consumption. She gave her name as Mrs.
Saliie G. Bowen, wife of VIM. G. Bowen,
residence, 1919 Meighan St. Philadelphia.
The case was diagnosed and she was told
plainly that she was in an advanced stage
of consumption. The examining physician
breast where the cavity in her lung was sup
posed to exist. She went home to her family
Q broken, disheartened woman with death
staring her liz the face. That was the begin.
ming Of the story, the end was told by Mrs.
Bowen, who no longer expects to die, to re.
porter who visited her home.
The first symptoms of consumption came
in the form of terrible sweats, bath night
aal day. From April until September
was constantly cold and kept wrapped up
in blankets through the hottest weather. A
terrible cough 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 slightes. flush, and the least excr-
ton would SO exhaust me that could barely
gasp for water.
81 went to the hospital in July and they
diagnosed my case as above stated. 1t
was when the clouds were the darkest
that the first CLINT of sunshine came. Mr..
Shelmerdne, friend, who lives around ut
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 .dicine but in my condition could not
turn deaf ear to anything that offered re.
lief 1t was after considerable thought and
investigation that concluded to discontinue
all the medicine l was taking, including
cod liver oil, and depend entirely upon Pink
Pills. I began to take the pills, at first
with but little encouragement. The first
sign of improvement was warmth AID
q tingling sensation in my limbs. Finally
the cough disappeared, my chest lost its
soreness and l began to gain flesh until
was fifteen pounds heavier. All this owe to
DIR. Williams Pink Pills and cannot praise
them too highly"
Mrs. Bowen is kindly faced lady Of
middle age a church member well-knOwn
and highly esteemed. She looks to-day,
we'll and strong and it seems almost i'm.
possible that she was ever given up by en-
inent physicians as an incurable consump-
tive. Yet such is the case beyond all dis.
pute.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People

new life and richness to the blood and restore

IT is too bad that because THE
ARGUS saw fit to expose and condemn
certain acts Of the board of super
visors the members should become
.'mad and ugly" and give the people
the stone they did not want out OF
pure spite for The ARGUS. II the
Unions theory as to what ais the
supervisors is correct, they should

Chicago Chronicle.
Day after day come cheering re-
ports from all over the country.
The news columns of the Chronicle
showed in its last issue that:
The Cleveland, Ohio, Rolling Mill
company has raised the wages Of 600
employees 10 per cent.
The Howard Harrison Iron works,
Bessemer, Ala, has raised the wages
Of l. 500 employees 10 per cent. ~
The Ames Iron works at Oswego,
N. Y, has made like advance.
The Iron Trade Review, of Cleve-
land, says that: The week has
brought the regular quota of ad-
vances in prices and wages to the
iron and steel industry. Mahoning
valley furnacemen have granted
their employees a second increase OF
10 per cent, following the pace set in
the Shenango valley a few week:
ago. and eastern steel works have
announced higher rates effective
with July"
1t was the cry Of McKinleyism, a.
Of Mckinley himself, that the demo.
cratic party in the Wilson bill pro
posed deliberately the destruction Of
Industries, particularly the grea,
iron and steel industries of thu
country.
the Wilson law provided for de
cided reduction in the schedule re-
garding metals and manufacture!
thereof. Because this reduction wa!
proposed, protectionists the coun
try over fairly screamed their de
nunciation of democracy as thu
enemy Of the industries of this coun
try. They claimed to workingmer
that starvation must follow legisla
ton OF this character. They insisted
that the consummation Of the atteI
ruin OF American industries for TIT
benefit Of industries abroad was the
purpose Of the Wilson bill.
BY their fruits, saith scripture
shall you know them.
BY the condition OF industries il
this country today. BY the voluntary
increased wage to employees in al
such Industries, We may learn how
false, how absurd, how utterly sci
fish was the cry Of McKinleyism

after tho experience OF the ceuntr!
