Paralysis Follows BIOodIessness
and Nervous PrOStratIOn.
A PATIENT WOMAN AFFLICTED FOR
YEARS.
She Tells How mt Last She Was Per-
Permanently Cured.

From the Press, New York City:
For more than fifteen years, Mrs. A.
Mather, who lives at No. AZ East One
hundred-and-twelfth street. New York. was
a sufferer from anaemia, which, in spite of
the treatment of physicians, gradually de-
veloped into nervous prostration until
finally marked symptoms of paralysis set
In. Mrs. Mather gladly gave the reporter
her experience.
"For many years. Mrs. Mather said, Il
was a constant sufferer from nervousness.
1t was about fifteen years ago that my
condition began TO grow worse. Soon |

$50 a month, but all the doctors did for
me did not seem to help me at all. My
blood became greatly impoverished and
after years OF suffering l was threatened
with paralysis.

my feet along, and at times my knees

Mrs. Mather's daughter, Miss Anna, cor
roborated her mothers account, and told
how she herself had been cured of chronic
Indigestion by these pills; and how, too,
her cousin had been cured of anaemia.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain. in a
condensed form, all the elements necessary
to give new life and richness to the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They are
also a specific for troubles peculiar to fe-
males, such as suppressions, Irregularities
and all forms of weakness. They build up
the blood, and restore the glow of health
to pale and sallow cheeks. In men they
effect a radical cure in all cases arising
from mental worry, overwork or excuses
of whatever nature. Pink Pills are sold in
boxes (neyer in loose bulk) at soc a box OF
six boxes for $3.50, and may be had of al
druggists, or sent direct by mail from DR.

NatrimOny Is Desirable.

In the higher education of women it
becomes more and more observable
that those who pursue the liberal col

their lives to professional work. In
the main they are not ambitious.
They cOvet al education as being a
necessary possession, but they do not
obtain it with Il view to applying it in
the struggle for a livelihood. They re-
gard a happy, desirable, matrimonial
alliance as the natural solution of

Opium Less of a Curse Than Alcohol.
Few people have any idea of The

to an almost incredible extent. In the
district of Bengal alone. there are
nearly 100000 acres devoted eXclu-

1t is now widely believed that. taking
it all around, opium does less harm
and more good than alcohol. The re-
ply of a distinguished native Indian
official when questioned upon this sub
ject is suggestive. He said the opium
habit was much preferable to the alco-
holism of America and Europe. and
recommended that a reform be inauG-

October Meeting of the Pathological
Club.

Chapel Hill, n. c., Oct 30.-(Spe-
cial.)--It gives us pleasure to report
another very valuable and interesting
meeting of the Pathological Club,
One month ago the first meeting for
tie new session was held, with the
usual attendance, Notwithstanding the
fact that a dangerous cyclone was
raging without. The meeting last
night was LANCER than ever before.
The subjects discussed were varied
and of special interest.
DR. Lnscott, the assistant professor
of the Latin Department., read a paper
on the Latin listens of the reduced
nominative.
His conclusions showed that some
Of these forms rose from prevalence
of consonantal stems over vowel stems.
where the parent language presented
both varieties But greater weight was
given ITO the view that the reduced
form of the Nominative was produced
by metaplastic influences tending to
amalgamate the declensions.
Mr.. w. j. Horney, of the Senior
class, and a special student in English
under DR. Hume, discussed the Lay of
Hnaef, story originally oral, inserted
in the great poem, Beowulf, showing
the first form of epics before the ma
terial was moulded into permanent
shape by the great masters.
Mr.. Samuel May, the new assistant
professor of the Modern Language De-
partment. read an elaborate criticism
of Adam Bede, the result of which was
to show that the plot is not of the
first Importance, but subordinate to
an idyllic picture of certain phases of
human life.
In his paper, Prof. Harrington ex-
amined the various dates suggested as
tine year of the Roman poet, Tibullus'
birth, These are B. C. "a, So, 50. Ar
guments were presented for adopting
the year B. c. As as the mostly likely
date.
Prof. Toy made am analysis OF
Schiller's earliest tragedy, The Rob
beers, and pointed out that Schiller

Again and again the crowd cheered.

II want to say to you that we who
believe in enforcing the laws against
all classes of society are better friends
of government than those who would
