Her FORTUNE.
An Ohio Girl Tells How She
Found 1t.
Overheard in the Cars.

Some women, says the Daily Commercial
have found fortune in their faces, while
others have found fortune in their figures.
But more interesting and profitable than
the experiences of these, is that of the Ohio
girl, who actually found fortune in her ear.
This young lady has been a resident of the
Buckeye State for fifteen years. Her pres
ent home is in Cincinnati, where she ranks
as one of the most successful musicians
and voice trainers in the entire West. Her
personal attractiveneSs and unusually viva
clous temperament have, combined with her
accomplishments, gained for her an en-
viabe social position. To look at her
bright, rosy, girlish face one would sup
pose that her life had been one OF perpetual
sunshine, and that she had never known a
moments unhappiness. No one would for
an instant surnise that this same girl had
for nearly two years been the victim of
torInentor that came near blasting her life
and robblng her of her reason. Her life
presents one of those cases where present
appearances fail to give an insight into past
experiences.
1t was during an entertainment at the Col
lege OF Music in which she took part, that
she contracted what she then regarded as
Slight cold. Il took no notice of it at first''
said the young lady recently, to a Com
mcrcial reporter, but in about week small
red spots appeared on my face, and so dis
figured me that lost my pupils, one by one.
Their mothers, fearing cOntagion did not
want them to come in contact with me.
A nervous, racking cough robbed me OF
sleep and appetite, and each OF four differ
ent physicians who were called in gave a
different opinion as 10 what my trouble
was. Eczema, blood poisoning, lung trouble
and a complication ofdisorders were among
the results OF their diagnoses. My suffer-
ing was intense and began wasting away
to mere shadow. Dreading the soictude
and sympathy which I could plainly read
on the faces ofmy friends, secretly changed
my boarding place When they found my
new address l decided, by the advice of
two physicians, TO go TO a private sanitar-
ium in Indiana. My journey in the cars"
continued the young lady, was a terrible
ordeal, for, aside from my physical suffer
ing, l saw that, although ! wore veil, the
passengers avoided the seats near me, and
between my coughing spells | could not but
hear that they talked about my hopeless
condition and disfigured face.
Besides the horrible skin disease. she's
got consumption, and it's going to kill her,
poor thing. II almost killed my sister, re-
marked a lady, in an audible whisper, TO
her companion across the aisle.

to get within the sheltering walls of the san
itarium, and hear the encouraging words
of the proprietor and his attendants.
''But all my hope vanished, when, after
eight weeks treatment, l was asked for
the addresses of my relatives and friends.
l knew then that the doctors also con-
sidered my case hopeless. The mental
agony l endured brought my journey on
the cars back to me with vivid distinct
ness, and suddenly the name of the Dis
eovery' which the talkative passenger
mentioned as having saved her sisters
life, began ringing in my ears. Some

and by an almost superhuman Impulse L
was impelled to secretly send note Tor
a bottle of it, which l took according to
directions. The first few days it had no
apparent effect on my case, except 1T re-
lieved my cough some what and the soreness
on my lungs. The second bottle gave me
more strength, and the eruption on my
skin began to disappear. sent out Tor

patients to take any medicipes except those
prescribed there, and 1 called the chief
physician to my room, showed him that L

weeks, and told him that / had broken the
rules and taken DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery which saved my life after five

ing music lessons, and as you can see with
with your own eyes," added the young
lady to the reporter, my skin is smooth and
clear, and my health is perfect. Ii had
not heard those two young women discuss
ing my case in the cars, l would not be
here today, telling you of my wonderful
recovery. My hearing that conversation
proved fortune to me-"
The Law of Nature is, DR.. Pierce be-
lleves, for people to be healthy. When
they are sick, Nature helps to cure them.
Natures law is the guide for curing SICK
people. There is no way but Natures
way. What the doctors call many differ
ent diseases Nature cures in one way; by
nourishing the whole body with good,
pure, rich, red blood. That is Natures
way OF curing scrofula, erysipelas, kid
ney aud "liyer complaint" consumption
and every form of eruptive aud wasting
disease.
When you want to help Nature with
medicine the medicine must work the
same way as Nature works, then 1t has
the laws of nature on it's side to make
it powerful. That is the secret of the
wonderful cures of Dir. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t assists nature ac-
eording to her own laws; tits on Natures
side and Nature helps it; it imparts new
power to the nutrItiye aud blood making

RICH But sHovELs COAL.
A Brooklyn MiIlionaire's Son Quits
College for an Engine Cab.
New York journal

College for an Engine Cab.
New York Journal
From college to a machine shop; from an
aristocratic home on Brooklyn Hill to
a daily run as fireman of a locomotive, is
not a step that every wealthy young man
would choose, yet it is what George d
Pratt chose, and what he would be proud
of if he were not so modest.
He is a son of the late Charles Pratt, the
multi.millionaire philanthropist Standard
Oil prince, and railway ma gnate. Hegradu-
ated with distinguished hOnors from Am
herst College in 1898. He spent year in
travel making a trip around the world,
and then began his earnest preparation
for work. The Pratt estate is very
heavy stockholder in the Long Island Rail-
road. Georges brother is vice president.
George set about to learn railroading in all
its branches.
The shops of the company are at Morris
Park, and there George first began work.
He learned how the various parts of To-
comotive are made and how they are put
together. Then he moved to new class
room-the cab of locomotive.
Here, dressed in blue overalls and 4
greasy cap and jacket, his athletic college
training stood him in good stead, for he
shoveled coal as well as any other fireman
on the line. He liked the work, and faith
fully kept at it. Now and then he resigned
his place to another fireman and took a
turn at running the engine, always, how
ever, under the direction OF another en-
gineer. He finally gave up his job as fire
man and worked for while on freight
train. Later he took turn at track-walk-
ing. Railroad magnates usually inspect
their roads from the rear end of private
car.
Considering his outdoor experience CON-
plete, he recently entered the office branch
of the service, and is now at desk in the
auditors department.
Mr.. Pratt is twenty-six years old.
