AN ALPENA MIRACLE.
MRS. JAS. NJ. TODD, OF LONG RAPIDS,
DISCARDS HER CRUTCHES.
In an Interview with Reporter She Re-
views Her Experience and Tells
the Real Cause of the Miracle.

In an Interview with a Reporter She Re
views Her Experience and Tells
the Real Cause of the Miracle.
(From the Argus, Alpena Mich.)
We have long known Mrs. Jas. NJ. Todd,
Of Long Rapids, Alpena Co., Mich. She has
been sad cripple. Many of her friends
know the story of her recovery; for the bene-
ut of those who do not we publish it to-day.
Eight years ago she was taken with ner-
vous prostration, aud in a few months with
muscular and in1ammatory rheumatism. It
affected her heart, then her head. Her feet
became so swollen she could wear nothing
on them; her hands were drawn all out OF
shape. Her eyes were swollen shut moro
than half the time, her knee joints terribly
swollen and for eighteen months she had to
be held up to be dressed. One limb became
entirely helpless, and the skin was 80 dry
and cracked that il would bleed. During
these eight years she had been treated by a
score Of physicians, and has also spent much
time at Ann Arbor under best medical advice.
All said her trouble was brought on by hard
work and that medicine would not cure, and
that rest was the only thing which would
ease her. After going to live with her dasgh-
ter she became entirely helpless and could
p not even raise her arms to cover herself at
night. The interesting part of the story fol-
lows in her own words:
"I was urged to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People and at last did so. In
three days after commenced taking Pink
Pills I could sit up and dress myself, and
after using them six weeks went homo and
the pills, until now 1 begin to forget my
crutches and can go up and down steps
without aid. am truly living wonder,
walking out of doors without assistance.
"Now, If 1 can say anything to induce
those who have suffered "a J have, to try
Pink Pills, I shall gladly do so. II other
like sufferers will try Pink Pills according to
directions, they will have reason to thank
God for creating men who are able to con-
quer that terrible disease, rheumatism. I
have in my own neighborhood recommended
Pink Pills for the after effects Of la grippe,
and weak women with impure blood, and
with good results"
Mrs. Todd is very strong in her faith in the
curative powers OF FINK Illls, anu says Lney
have brought a poor helpless cripple back to
do her own milking, churning, washing sew
ing, knitting and in fact about all of her
household duties, thanks to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills containJall the ele-
ments necessary to give new life and richness
to the blood and restore shattered nerves.
They are for sale by ell druggists, or may be
had by mail from DR.. Williams Medicine
Company, Schenectady, N. Y, for SOC. per

FACTS ABOUT PUTTY.
How 1t Is Made and It's Many Tints
and Uses.

How 1t Is Made and It's Many Tints
and Uses.
Pure putty is made Of whiting pnd
iinseed oil. Whiting is made Of chalk
which is imported from England and
ground In this country. Barytes, mix
ed with the whiting Is. used as an
ladulterant Of putty. and cottonseed oil
is mixed with the linseed oil. Cotton
seed oil is cheaper, and a slower
dryer than linseed; its use is advan-
tekeous to small customers, for putty
mixed with part cottonseed oil keeps
In order longer.
Llrseed oil putty is used more by
decorators and painters and other
large consumers who use up putty
quickly. Putty sells at wholesale from
IL to cents pound. 1t Is put up FOR
the trade in barrels of 800 pounds, kegs
of 300 pounds, In cans Of one to 100
pounds, and in bladders; it keeps best
In bladders, and the bulk Of the putty
exported goes in that form. Putty
made in the Eastern cities of the
United States is sold on the Atlantic
seaboard and in the South, but not
much Eastern putty is sold In the
West, for there are putty manufactOr-
les in the Northern and Western
cities.
We export putty to Canada, Mexico,
the West Indies, South America, and
the Sandwich Islands. Manufacturers
make colored putties to order, and
white, brown, and black putties are
kept in stock. Putty has a variety OF
uses besides those already mentioned,
and the very familiar one is setting
glass. Brown putty is used to point
brown-stone buildings and putty Is
sometimes used in pointing up brick
buildings. Black putty is used in
stove foundries. Plumbers use putty.
Sometimes scene painters reduce it
and put it on canvas to paint over
There are three or four putty manu-
factories in New York and more in
Brooklyn. A single firm Of manufac-
turers in this city has sold more than
1900 tons in year. These seem like
large figures, but they are less surpris-
ing from the fact that there are few
, aysicles Of more common use.

by DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
even after the disease has progressed SO
far as to induce repeated bleedings from
the lungs, severe lingering cough with
copious expectoration Gncluding tubercu-
lar matter, great loss of flesh and extreme
emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases Of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
Who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, i'll curative power over this
fatal maiady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "enulsions and
mixtures, had been tried i'll nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations Of the hypophos-
phites had also beer faithfully tried m vain.
The photographs of large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been

Did but Part of Her Duty.

The umbrella of Catholic penitent
was stolen while she was at confession.
She went with the story to Cardinal
Wiseman, hoping probably to obtain
compensation. The only consolation
she got from the the Cardinal was this:
"Nly, child, 1 am sorry oryou; but the
Scriptures tell us to watch az well as

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

Il is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders
The purest baking powder makes the finest sweet
est most delicious food The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome
food
Why should not every housekeePer avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
or prize, or at lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesOme.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal, which is absolutely pure.

Editor Democrat:
II visiting the different manufact-
uring centres In New England, | FIND
that lust at this time the largest cotton
mills in the country are discussing the
South as a place to manufacture cotton
goods The competition IN this clAse
Of goods has become a serious consider
alton with them.
The climate IN the South is decided
" preferable to this northern climate
The humidity in the atmosphere Is q
great factor in producing the desired
results in the manufacture OF cotton
fibre. A better grade of goods can be
made there and hence a better price re-
allied.
Then the hundreds Of thousands OF
tons of coal consumed here is another
great consideration. Fall River, the
city of spindles, and Lowell, another
great manufacturing city, run more
spindles than any other two cities in
the United States.
The coal to run these plants is ship
ped, might say, almost from the cot
ton belt. Think of the enormous
freights by steamer to Boston and then
by rail to the mills. Then the cotton
has to be shipped here in the raw state,
and when manufactured has to be
shipped back to the South, West and
Middle states to find its market.
Now, in consideration of these ad.
vantages to the South, and many more
such as restrictive legislation, trades
| union, strikes, &c, the mill owners
have decided to build mills in the
South
Within fifteen miles of where / now
sit 900 men and women are parading
! the streets on strike BloOd-shed and
riot are expected hourly. Police CAM
control the MOP, and there are calls
for State troops. Such is the state o.
affairs now in Haverhill just out o.
Boston.
The mill owners have settled on nc
particular place in the South. They
VIII go where they can get the bes
terms in regard to exemption from tax
alton and other advantages.
THE APPLICATION.
1t seems to me if your business mer
in Scotland Neck would form an asso
| citation, or Board of Trade, and CORES
pond at once with the Boards of Trade
in Lowell, Concord, Manchester ane
Fall River, you might induce some o
those contemplating moving South t.
locate in Scotland Neck. The mil
owners here all belong to the Boards o
Trade.
l offer these suggestions to your PEG
pie, knowing that the directors in thu
different mills here have met and have
decided to build in the South thl
spring. / feel a great interest in IN.
native State and the people among
whom l was reared.

The "Cha1n Letter"

Those in Scotland Neck Iwho have
been taken in by the ''chain letter"
business, which seems to have spread
all over the country, will be edited by
the following answer to an inquiry
sent from Baltimore to Kaneville, III.
EVANSVILLE, Ill, Jan. l, 1895.
DEAR SIR Our postmaster here at
Kaneville receives hundreds of letters
similar to the one you wrote asking
about the Edna r. Brown chain letter
1t is impossible tor him to answer all
the letters of inquiry. l know OF no
medical institute that will take stamps
for treatment. This chain letter was
started by irresponsible parties, and 1t
has turned out to be an elephant. Six
thousand letters have been received IN
a single mail, filled with cancelled
stamps, which in my judgment, are
worthless. The daily average of letters
filled with stamps, is from three to foul
thousand. As a first class nuisance, the
scheme is a success. The parties them
selves are getting tired of it. My ad
vice to all parties who receive thes'
chain letters, is to conslgn them to tn
| flames.
Respectfully yours,
| 'W. H. II. SHooP, J. P"
