A Paris physician claims to have dis
covered a treatment for sciatica. The
statement taxes credulity somewhat,
but it is a very easy thing to test. The
following is a description of the proc
ess, which may be tried, and certainly
is simple enough: 1.-THE patient lies on
his face, with his legs extended and
resting easily one against the other.
The most painful spot is selected, the
region where the nerve proceeds from
the large sciatic opening. On its trunk
both thumbs are applied, and il is COM
pressed with the greatest force; at the
same time slight lateral movements
are made, without changing the point
of pressure or moderating its intensity.
This takes from Is to 20 seconds, and is
followed by an interval of 20 minutes
rest, when the procedure is repeated.
After a second application, which is
much less painful than the first, the
patient is able to walk, and for several
hours, or even a day, he may be free
from pain" In order to obtain com.
plete recovery, this procedure should
be practiced about six times a day
every two days, until the definite sup
preston of the neuralgia is obtained

worn with the exposure of army life on
the FRONTIER, and poisoned by the continual
drinking of alkai water, Joseph Flegauf
returned to Philadelphia eight years ago,
brolfen down in health and unable to do
anywork.
He had served five years with the Ninth
United States Infantry in many desperate
fight with the Indians in Arizona and other
froptler States and had won an enviable
record. In the fierce conflict when Geron-
lmo,Nthe famous chief of the Apaches, was
captured, Mr.. Flegauf was among the brave
soldiers who, forgetful of everything but
duty, charged upon the hostile Indians.
Lie on the plains sent to an untimely
death many soldiers who were never touched
by redskins bullet or arrow. and Mr.. File
gauf came near such fate as that. A long
time before his time was out he was taken
seriously i'll, but he stuck to his post until
an honorable discharge was finally given to
him.
When he reached Philadelphia, the Indian
fighter was scarcely more than skin and
bones, and for three weeks hel lay desperate
lyiill in a hospital. He felt dizzy, and his
stbmach felt as if it had dried up. These
symptoms were accompanied by bloody
dysentery, which no medicine seemed to re-
liSve
After two years of suffering, Mr.. Flegauf
re to New York and was treated by sew
erin physicians. These did not agree some
calling his disease catarrh of the stomach,
and others chronic diarrhPa.
In speaking to a reporter about his illness
Mr. Flegauf said the doctors helped him,
but, with all the money he spent for advice
and medicine, he was able to work only a
small part of the time. Since moving to
his present home, No SIT West Forty-s
ond Street, in New York, about year ago,
Mr.. Flegauf has been so i'll that his voice
and hearing almost left him.
Then all medicines failed, and the sick
man had little hope of recovery. At this
critical time DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People were recommended to Mr.. File
gauf, and, almost as a last hope, he began
taking them.
1.-THE beneficial effect of the medicine was
felt at once" Mr.. Flegauf told the reporter,
''and before | had taken box ! began to

STORY OF A STORk.
How 1t Carried Letter to Africa and
Brought One Back.

How 1t Carried a Letter to Africa and
Brought One Back.
A story that comes from Germany is
as quaint as it is true, says Our Animal
Friends. Some children living in the
northern provinces discovered that a
storl1 had made it's nest upon their roof.
Being orthodox little Teutons they
hailed the newcomer with favor, as
storlis are supposed to bring luck to a
| house. All the summer they shared
their tidbits with their long-legged
friend, which became very tame and
companionable.
AT the first signs of approaching cold
weather the stork prepared to fit to
warmer chimes. The children were sad
at the thought of losing their pet, but
their parents consCled them with the
assurance that the bird would surely
return the next spring. The children,
still uneasy at the IDEA of the stork not
being cared for through the long
brilliant idea, which they immediate
ly proceeded to put into execution.
They wrote note in their best German
script, stating that the stork was very
dear to them and begged the good peo-
pie in whose country it might spend the
winter to be kind to their pet, and send
it back to them in the spring.
They sealed the note, fastened it to
a ribbon, tied it around the birds neck
and tucked it under its wing. The next
day they sadly watched the stork wing
its way toward milder skies. The snow
and ice came; ChHstmas time brought
the children gifts and fresh amuse-
ments, but their summer pet was not
forgotten. When the spring came
round again their little feet used to
climb to the roof day by day, looking
and longing for the stork's return; and
behold! One fine morning there it was,
tame and gentle as ever.
Great was the cbildren's delight, but
what was their surprise to discover
round its neck and under its wing an
other bright band with note attached
addressed to ''the children who wrote
the letter the stork brought" The
ribbon was quickly united and the

the children's note and had cared for
the stork, and thought that children
whose hearts had prompted them to
provide for the comfort of a bird
through the winter would be willing to
help clothe and feed the little destitute
children of his mission. A full name
and address followed.
The children were full of sympathy,
and the missionary's note won golden
answer FROM the family. Other letters
came and went by post between them
until by and by the children learned to
know the missionary and his little black
waits almost as well as they knew the
beloved stork that had proved so trusty
messenger.
