ESCAPED FROM CHILE
The Dangerous Adventure of De.
tective w. M. Lugg.
Compelled to Cross the Mount taius on
Muleback-Taken Sick During
the Journey.
From the ExamIner. San Francisco, Cal.

Four years ago. at the time of the trouble be-
tween the United States and Chile, as 6 result
OF the killing OF the sailors of the U. $ S. Bslti-
more, in the streets of a Chilean city, many
Americans were obliged to leave the country
for safety Among them was w. NJ. Lugg. the
private detective and collector, whose office is
in the Croker building, San Francisco, Cal.
When Mr.. Lugg left Chile he went across the
mountains into Argentina, travelling on mule
back.
Mr.. Lugg says that the trip is delightful
one in point OF beautiful scenery and perfect
weather. but many people dislike to under
take it on account OF the unhealthful stagnant
water which they are compelled 10 drink along
the way. Many persons have been stricke n
down with disease from having drunk of it,
and in number of cases the attacks have
proven fatal. The native Chileans drink the
water without injury 10 their systems, but it
has bad effect upon those who are not used
to it.
the water" said Mr.. Lugg. 1t affected my
kidneys to an alarming degree. When got
over into Argentina l thought the trouble
would gradually leave me, but instead of that
it grew more aggravated and l suffered ter
ribly from pains i'll the region of my kid
neys. l was en- route to Chicago, and 1
determined TO reach my destination before the
complaint should grow so serious as to eonfne
me to my bed Upon reaching Chicago l at
once consulted physician, who told me my
kidneys had been affected by drinking pol
luted water. He treated me for some time for
that complaint, but ! grew steadily worse and
new ailments were added to my already seri-
Gus condition. l began 20 have neuralgia
pains in my head, my spine was affected with
shooting pains and / had no control over the
urinary organs. 1t was next to impossible for
me to get any sleep. | lay awake many o
night suffering the most intense pains, and
the physician unable to relieve them.
But relief came at last. One day one of my
friends came to my room and handed me a box
of Williams Pink Pills. OF course | laughed
at him for daring to think that any patent
medicine could aid me when my phisician had
failed. l took the pills, however, to oblige
my friend more than for any faith l had in
them, and was treated to the most joyous
surprise of my life when I realized that was
being relieved OF my pains. First the peculiar
pains along my spine ceased, and then my neu-
ralg;c trouble began to grow less and finally
prove the condition of my kidneys, but after I
had taken C number of boxes OF the pills
knew that they had done their work success
fully, for then i had regained control of the
urinary organs and the action of my kidneys
was strong and steady.
when / thought l was out OF all danger
quit taking the pills. The relief they had
afforded was permanent, however, and have
never since felt recurrence OF the complaints.
l hardly know how to praise Williams Pink
Pills as they should be praised. They GER
tainly are a wonderful preparation l have
recommended them to a number OF my friends
and they have all been benefited by their use"
