PRESENCE OF MIND.

That subtle thing known as ''pres-

any mind have suddenly developed I'M
der pressure, to the establishment OF
their critical friends There was a
distinct case Of this sort chronicled on
the Boulevard the other day.
The bicycle brigade were out in
force. A young man with the vacuous
bicycle expression came bowling along
on the wrong side of the parkway,
closely followed by blonde in bloom
ers, while a brunette bloomer kert
pace on the other side. The blonde
bloomer was crowding the young man
somewhat. when he heard her utter a
sharp cry of alarm. He turned to see
her frantic gesture. and almost at the
same moment he was dashed into a
four-horse team attached to a great
beer wagon.
The two boomers screamed in uni
son, and the driver of the wagon, a
coarse grained individual, with an in
famed nose, ripped out few familiar
oaths and drew up. All that was seen
at the moment was a riderless b.
cycle trundling off down along the
curb Then the quickly gathered
crowd looked breathlessly under the
wagon and beneath the iron-shod
hooSs. There was nobody there. The
young man had leaped from his wheel
and grabbed horse around the neck,
and there he still hung. by both legs
and arms. Instead of being trampled
to death he was at that moment en-.
dangering the life of valuable an
imal by strangulation. No man ever
chung to his best girl with such a
lively grip. The women looked on ad-
miringly.
1T was just splendid" said the
blonde bloomer. What made you
think of dong it?"

There was a perceptible wriggle in
her wheel as they rode away together

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by lot al cpplications. as they cannot reac..
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have rumbting
sound or imperfect hearing, and when y is
entirely closed deafness is the result. ard
unless the Inflammation can be taken cut
and this tube restored to its normal con-
ditio1, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing bat an infiamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

KNOW THYSELF.
Science Helps You to Be Your
Own Doctor.
The Story of a Woman Who Kept Posted
on the Work of Science and Saved
Her Own Life.
From the Era, Bradford, Pa.


Too few people are acquainted with the
rapid advance of medical science. and too
many doctors are still plodding in the old
paths. Once it comes to pass that people
know themselves. that all physicians are
abreast of the worlds knowledge, much of
our suffering will come to an end. Medic
al scientists are not delving into the depths
of knowledge for the mere benefit of brother
physicians, but for the benefit of the
world. They place in the hands of the well
man means of keeping well, in the hands
of the sick a means OF recovery. To the
parent they give the power OF saving the
child. Science is working for you-will you
accept the proffered helpl
Mrs. George Rowend, an estimable lady
who resides ut No. 216 East Main Street,
has cause to feel grateful toward the
science of medicine.
One day recently, a reporter, learning that
Mrs. Rowend had been greatly benefited by
the use of new medicine, interviewed her.
She stated that she had been suffering with
a female trouble for many years. She had
been doctored for the ailment for a long
time-in fact, nearly all her Gfe-and had
never received anything more than tempo
rary relief. During the last three years her
condition grew worse and was aggravated
by an affection of the heart. Her health was
so poor that she found it almost impossible
to perform her household duties.
Il never believed in proprietary medi-
cines,'' said Mrs. Rowend, 'but one day last
tail re1.Q an aftlcle III newspaper WHICH
told of the cures Effected by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, and I decided to try the medi-
cine Before 1 had taken the contents of

ing weakness which had bothered NE for 50
many years began to disappear, and the &C
and more regular.
Il took nine boxes of the pills and / am
now feeling better than l have for several
years, and I have unbounded faith in the
medicine"
Mrs Rowend is steadily gaining in health
and strength and gives all the credit for her
restoration to health to DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People.

richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are for sale by all druggists,
