A PECULIAR CASE.
PHYSICIANS PUZZLED BY THE
EXPERIENCE OF MRS. BOWEN.
Episcopal Hospital Said She Had

The Episcopal Hospital Said She Had
Consumption.
fTog the Record, Philadelphia, Pal
Last July the Episcopal Hospital ad.
milted q woman whose pale and ema-
Grated lace and racking cough proclaim.
ca her the victim of consumption. She
gave her name as Mrs. Sallie q. Bowen,
wife of VIM. q. Bowen, residence, 1919
Aleighan street. Philadelphia. The case
was diagnosed and she was told plainly
tlat she was H. an advanced stage of
consumption. Tbs examining physician
even showed her the sunken place in her
breast where the cavity in her lung was
supposed TO exist. She went home 10 her
family a broken. disheartened woman
with death staring her in the face. That
was the beginning Of the story; the end
was told by Mrs. Bowen, who no longer
expects to die. to a reporter who visited
her home.
The first symptoms of CONSUMPTION
came III the form Of terrible sweats, both
night and day. From April until Sep
tcinber ! was constantly cold and kept
wrapped up in blankets through the hot
test weather. A terrible cough took pos
session 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 e1ertion
would 80 exhaust me that | could barely
gasp for water.
II went To the hospital in July and they
diagnosed my case ms above stated. 1t
was when the clouds were the darkest
that the first CLINT of sunshine came. Mr..
Shelmerdine, Il friend. who lives around
at 1914 Clementine street. said to me one
day: Mrs. Bowen. did you ever try DIR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale Feopler
] had never heard of the mdicine. but in
my condition could not turn II deaf ear 10
anything that offered relief. IL was after
considerable thought and investigation
that | concluded 10 discontinue all the
medicine | was taking. including cod
liver oil, and depend entirely upon Pink
Pills. ] began To take the pills, at first
with but little encouragement The first
sign of Improvement was Il warmth and
a ~tingling sensation in my limbs. Finally
the cough disappeared, my chest lost its
soreness and | began To gain flesh until
! was fifteen pounds heavier. All this
! owe To DIR. Williams Pink Pills. and I
cannot praise them too highly
Mrs. Bowen is a kindly-faced lady Of
middle age. a church member well-known
and highly esteemed. She looks to-day
well and strong. and il seems almost inn
possible hat she was ever given up by
eminent physicians as an incurablc con
Sumptiye. Yet such is the case beyond
all dispute.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness To the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are for sale by
all druggists. or may be had by mail from
DIR. Williams Medicine Company, Schen-
ectady. y. Y. for 80 cents per box, or sir
boxes for $3.50.

CHINESE DlNlNC.OuT GIRLS.
They Are Used to Amusc Men at Din

When for instance, a Chinese gentle
man intends giving a dinner to three

call them %dining-out girls. as it best de-
scribas TO me their calling. They will
come prcttily dressed, their hair done
up ia most wonderful shapes and
brushed over with a sort of varnish
which makes it appear like a fantastic
head-dress, carved in ebony. They
will ornament this structure with bright
flower, though the wreaths will be as
stiff as their hair; or they will some
times add jade, gold or feather-inlaid
ornaments. Their faces will be painted
in white and pink-very artistically
painted, smooth aud soft-looking; deli
cately traced; sharp black crescents
will mark their eyebrows. Dainty.
demure dolls they will appear and
pretty to look upon; but seemingly II
touch would destroy their artistic eff
fects, as a rough hand the radiance of q
butterily's wing.
Two of these Young ladies will attend
10 each gentleman, sitting slightly back
from the table at each side of the enter
tanned. They will I'LL his liquor cups,
sip from them aud pass them on; pick
out dainty pieces of chow" (food) with
chopsticks and hand them to him; crack
Jokes, ill and light his pipe and all the
while chat gayly and eat dried water
melon seeds, That is all / ever saw
them eat. Behind each group of three
a solemn-looking coolie, or waiter. will
stand TO fan them all the while. Other
walters bring in food, wine and tea,
change the dishes and attend to their
wants. The meal will last for a long
time. Eventually all will rise and re-
tire to an outer room furnished with
broad touches covered with mating.
Opium pipes will be there for those
who care for them and tobacco aud
cigars in plenty. The girls will sit on
the touches. laugh. fill the pipes and
still eat watermelon seeds. while the
gentlemen viii recline at their ease, en-
joying their society.

Every little while it takes a dying

The poor ghost isn't to blame, either.
