Few women have had more miserable
existence and lived to tell the tale than
Mrs. Anna l.. Smith, of 81 Pulaski Avenue,
Brooklyn. With AL the comforts that
money affords. with all the happiness that
many loving friends can give, the joy of
Mrs. Smiths life was blasted for years by
the terrible ravages OF sickness. The story
Is most interesting as told to a reporter:
Il was an invalid for years, suffering
first with one complaint and then with
another. The thing which caused me the
most discomfort and made me offensive to
my family was the worst case of indigeS-
ton imaginable. l had the best physician
we could find, and occasionally his pre-
scriptions relieved me tempo rarily. But
Il pains and misery would all soon return
again. became desperate. and started in
to try remedies of which / read. Among
them were the Pink Pills. l took the pills
and followed out the directions to the let
ter, and before many.days / began TO feel
like different woman. For SAX weeks ]
took the pills regularly, and can tr,thfully
add after that was as we'll as any one in the
family. This change for the better in my
condition has caused my relatives and
friends to take the pills We buy them
from the drug store of John Duryea, at tie
corner oil DehaiD ana sumner avenues.
II assure you it was impossible for me to
oversee my household for three years. Now
4 visit my kitchen every day, do my own
marketing and shopping; in word, look
after everything connected with my home
and family.
''Oh, yes. still keep taking the pills. /
take one daily after dinner. Prevention, you
know, is better and cheaper than cure. l
verify believe one-half of the women who are
suffering from the ills which our sex are heir
TO would be up and well if they could be
induced to give the pink pills q fair trial.
4 certainly recommend them heartily and
feel grateful to the physician who put them
on the market"
Mrs Smith is woman Of some means
and standing in the community and, there
fore, her testimony will be accepted with
out question by all thoughtful people.

STATEHOOD.

THE following dispatch was sent
rom Washington on Jan. 2, regard
ing Arizona's chances for state
hood:
''The Arizona Statehood bill will
become a law within the next six
ty days. At least this is the hope
Of the friends of that Territory.
1t is generally conceded that the
Senate tavors Arizona's admission
and the only trouble feared is from
the House; if the measure is re-
ported from the committee within
the near future, the opposition in
the House will not amount to
much. Should it hang fire for
period, say of two months, Arizon-
as chances for wearing the clothes
of Statehood will not be as good.
Champions of Arizona's cause
realize the need of quick action
and will put forth every effort to
get their bill through the House
without delay when congress gets
down to work again. 1t is the
old fear of tho so-called "silver in
fuence" that will prove dangerous
TO Arlzona's chances of admission,
if the matter is delayed too long.
AT the time the House passed the
bond bill last week there appeared
to be some, though not great
deal, of fear among gold men that
when it came back from the Sen
ato it would have a silver rider.
Now that the bill has pissed, it
is the general belief that the bill
cannot possibly get out of the Sen
ate without silver amendment.
When it does put in an appearance
some lively times are sure to fol
low. 1t is to get the Statehood
bill out of the way before this cri-
sis comes that the Arizona men
must make haste"

A EINANCIER,S VIEW.


This Country Could ct independently and
Successfully in Establishing Bimetal-
lism.
The New York independent recently
published the views of several leading
financial writer's, both gold standard
and free coinage. Among the articles
on bimetallism was one from the pen
of William p. st. John, the successful
New York city bank president and
financier, who has written some very
able articles for leading papers from a
free silver standpoint. This paragraph,
coming from one of the leading bank
ers of the country, is worthy of con-
sideration:
"The happy achievement predicted
for ideal bimetallism would depend
for it's certainty on the one indisputa-
BILE fact of history, to wit, that the
world has never been afflicted with
too much gold and silver money. The
excess of the supply of gold and
silver over the requirements of the
arts and Asia would be without en-
ployment, except as money. This ex-
cess would be effectually money with
out the coming of it at all, and at the
coming price The arts and Asia would
be supplied at the coming price at min
imum. Hence, whether few nations or
single great nation could achieve the
like result under the law of bimetal-
lism, adopted Independently, would
depend on what supply of the more
abundant metal would seek conversion
into the money at the coming price.
If the mints of the United States
offered unlimited coinage for silver
into our present standard silver dol
lars, while continuing our offer of un-
limited coinage for gold at 25. 8 grains
standard to the dollar, gold would con-
tinue to seek conversion into the
money of the United States for as long
as the amount of silver seeking the
same was deficient of the aggregate in
crease of money which our people, do
mestically, could profitably USE"
President st. John closes his article
with this declaration:
"My research of the experience of
France, OF the experience of the Unit
ed States, of the influence of these eX-
periences on the world at large, sat
isfy me that conditions present and
seemingly prospective warrant an al
together acceptable achievement of BIZ
metallism independently, if re-enacted
as the law of the United States. /
verify believe that, at least for several
years TO come, the aggregate sum of
silver that the outside world would
spare us would be welcomed into our
money, the silver dollars floating by
certificate as now; that for so long the
achievement would be the identity of
our coming price for gold and silver
with the worlds market price of each;
that, for so long, dollars worth of
gold would be the gold in full-weight
gold dollar, and a dollars worth of sill
yer would be the silver in full
weight silver dollar. Hence, at least
for years, the achievement would be
the concurrent circulation of gold and
silver money in the United States"
