From the Herald, Baltimore, MIDI

Mrs. Jessie Shea is a young
married woman whose tidy home
is at S55 West Lexington Street,
Baltimore. For many months
Mrs. Shea was terrible sufferer
from a nervous affection which
resulted in general debility and
superinduced that oftimes incura.
BILE malady, insomnia. Various
doctors tried in vain to give relief,
and many remedies were used
without any good results. Hav-
ing heard of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, Mrs. Shea
concluded to give them trial, and
now she enjoys perfect health, all
of her trouble having entirely dis
appeared. A Herald reporter
called at her residence r Gently,
and was shown into the neatly
furnished parlor and told that
Mrs. Shea would be down in few
minutes. Soon a light step was
heard tripping down the stairway
and Mrs. Shea, radiant with health
and vigor of young womanhood,
entered the room. When asked if
she had used the Pink Pills, with
q smile which betokened the ut
most satisfaction the young lady
replied, Yes, | have used them,
and had l not heard of them L
doubt if ] would have been here
to answer your call"
Continuing, she said: about
two months ago | had an attack
of what the doctors termed ner-
vous prostration. My appetite
left me entirely and what little
sleep l got, and it was very little
/ assure you, was not by any
means refreshing. On the con-
trary, when | awoke from nap 1
had such a tired and exhausted
feeling that was 10th to try to
get to sleep again. l continued
to lose flesh day after day until l
was almost shadow compared
with my former self.
GAS soon as | began to take the
Pink Pills [ commenced to i'm
prove. [ am no longer troubled
with nervousness. l have a good
appetite, experience none of the
feelings incide2t to indigestion,
and l sleep as sound as a healthy
child. The pills are certainly all !
they are represented to be and, as
/ believe [ owe my life to the fact |
of having used them, | shall al
ways cheerfully recommend them
to my friends and other persons
whom l find to be suffering from
the maladies of which they cured |

tain, in a condensed form, all the !

The Best Detectives,
HANNA.

A Frenchman naturally thinks the
Partisan detectives the best. English
men swear by the shrewdness of Scot
land, Yard men and Americans, OF
course, swear by the New York de-
tectlves. After three years residen
in China (says traveler) ! do not
think any OF the three bodies is en-
titled to the credit given it. The
Chinese beat them all.
They are at one time the most ex-
pert thieves and at another time the
most skilled detectives in the world.
A Chinaman can steal your watch
while you are looking at it, and he
can catch the man that stole it, if it
happens to be some other man than
himself, when French detective
could not. '...
L have seen evidences Of detective
ability among the Chinese which
would startle even Lecocq. 1t is i'm
possible for an evildoer to long elude
the Chinese detectives. They scent
crime and follow it to the last be :
fore civilized detectives would know
Of it.
The Chinese detective force is a
secret body, and the best organized
in the world. They have an eye up
on every man, woman and child,
forign.eand native in China, and ID
addition watch over each other.
Informers are encouraged, ard COL
fusion Is impossible. Ehe head of
