NERVOUS PROSTRATION.
An American Malady Caused by
Our Manner Of Living.
From the Star. Wdshfnoton. ID. c.

From the Star, Washington, ID. c.
We Americans hurry too much. We do
not take time enough for our meals. We
haste to get rich, and wear out our bodies
by the strain on our nerves. The result is
nervous prostration. Probably there is no
remedy which will reach all cases. Pink
Pills come nearer being specific for 1t
than anything we know, however, and we
have just interviewed two Washington peo-
Pile who have tried them for this malady In
order to get some local testimony The
first is w. Heinrich Robb, Of S09New Jersey
Avenue, N. W.:
"For long time" said Mr.. Robb, "I suf-
fered horribly with nervous prostration,
and tried many physicians and various high
ly recommended remedies without ex-
periencing the slightest benefit. Last fall
my business called me to Pittsburgh, Pa,
and while there my mother, who remained
In Washington, wrote recommending that
should try Pink Pills. To please her
procured box. At this time and for q long
period previous my condition was most de-
plorable. could not walk alone, and had
attempted to do so would have fallen.
After had taken them for month l felt

should have mentioned that, until had
been taking the Pink Pills for about week
and for a long time before, had to force
myself to eat, but after the first box of pills
had been used by me my appetite returned
and was able to eat ravenously. should
also have said that when l began taking the
Pink Pills my legs had become as seemed to
me like wooden legs, and my body was fast
becoming in the same condition. The use
Of two boxes Of Pink Pills, however, drove
all trouble away and l regard them as WON
derful medicine"
Miss &. E. Lewis, No. 1928 N ST., north
west, one OF the teachers in Miss Paynes
School OF Cookery, says: "Dr. Williams
Medicine Company's Pink Pills have been
OF great benefit to my health. am very
feel that I ought to testify briefly to the
facts In my case. had suffered from nerv-
BUSINESS for u long time and was all run
down. l tried various remedies but none
OF them did me any good. Last summer
while in Delaware / was told of some Won
derful cures that had been effected by means
Of the Pink Pills and bought box. They
helped me wonderfully after taking them
for the past few weeks. / have been en-
tirely cured Of what was severe and pro
longed attack of nerv Gus prostration."
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in con-
densed 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 females,
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 q
tai worry, overwork or excuses of what
ever nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes
(never in loose bulk) at so cents n box or six
boxes for $50, and may be had of all drug
gists, or direct by mailfrom DR.. Williams

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Warming against the use of nicotine
as an insecticide for fruit is given. 1t
Is deadly poison.
Grain that is sown late should be
sown more thickly than il sown early,
for more of it will fail to terminate.
lt 1t is said that if seed corn is placed
IN an open box and subjected to 40 de-
Grees of heat, it will dry out quickly and
without injury.
<N There will be growing market for
Sood muttons for years to come. The
4 proportion of poor sheep that comes to
narket is very large.
The standard weight of wheat is GO
bunds, but when wheat has been grown
eseries of years on the same ground, 1t
will hardly come up to the standard.
n The stalk of corn is more valuable
tfor feed than the leaves when thorough
k1y dry. and hence the value of crushing
the stalks so that they can be utilized by
stock.
Forty years ago the Concord grape
was originated by Ephriam w. Bull,
who recently died. The Concord was
developed from wild grape, and it is n
good enough grape for anybody.
There should be care exercised in
Feeding new corn to animals. We be-
lieve that injury is possible from feed
Ping too much. though it is practice to
|feed swine especially all they will eat.

CHILDREN'S FANClES.
They Should BE Treated with Parental
Indulgence.

They should he treated with Parental
Indulgence.
Allowances should always be made
for the queer little fancies that take
possession of children at various stages
of their growth. 1t is unquestionably
annoying to the mother or nurse to find
that what was yesterday accepted as a
matter of course is to-day rejected with
high disdain, but such instances are
continually occurring, and must be met
philosophically. An illustration of this
point may be gathered from the record
of a peculiarly docile and lovable child,
who, having been accustomed from
babyhood to be put to bed awake with
out resenting it by so much as whim-
per, suddenly rebelled in the most un-
expected way when over two years old,
insisting in the most forcible manner
upon having some one to sit by her.
Coaxing and punishment were alike in
effectual, and when, after several nights
of the same interesting performance,
the child succeeded in fretting herself
into q severe nervous fever, the mother
was fain to confess herself conquered

II is a good lning 10y the way that it can

hump, which was in evidence yesterday,
was Just the proper capcr to give the rain

and trickle down the immense back Of this
