AN Old VETERAN OF the WAR AFTER
YEARS OF SUFFERING HAS A SHOCK
OF PARALYSIS.
From cAe Press, Utica, NJ =.

Mr.. David G. Talbot Is q well.known and
respected citizen of 0tsego County, New
York, residing at Edmeston, who three years
ago had a stroke of paralysis, which he at
tributes to the effects Of a wound received ON
the 10th of June, 1864, before Petersburg,
Va, while serving with the New York
Heavy Artillery.
The following is his own account Of his
illness and convalescence, which will be
found interesting:
EDMEsToN, N. Y, Aug 81, 1896.
"On tho fifth day of December, 1898, |

fected the whole of the left side, and could

muscles Of my throat were much affected.

hand, and that always affected me in a
marked degree, my arm often becoming
numb. | should state that on the day l re-
ceiyed the stroke, had two distinct shocks,
the first in the morning, which was so light

Ny old comrade Norton, who was in the
same company and regiment with me, and
was a grievous sufferer from general nervous
debility, at my recommendation has taken
DR.. Williams Pink Pills and they have
helped him wonderfully.
"I certify on honor that the above state
ment is true in every particular.

DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a 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 radical cure
in all cases arising from mental worry, over
work or excesses Of whatever nature. Pink
Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose bulky

WHAT MEDICAL MEN SAY OF ToCACCo.
1t is a fact that a very large pro-
portion OF our boys smoke. Parents
generally can not be aware of it, or
else greatly fail to appreciate the ter
rible effect of the habit upon the
body, mind, and morars OF growing
lads, q subject which P. of R. H. Nc
Sherry, President OF the Baltimore
Academy of Medicine says: is not
open to discussion An old teacher,
Of Boston, recently said, II think
that at least seven out OF every ten
boys smoke by the time they are
fourteen years DID," Every mother
thinks her boy is one of the three
clean ones, but in seven cases out of
ten, evidently, she is mistaken. Ci-
garette smoking, which was formerly
confined chiefly to Cubans, ,is as well
known chemist affirms, doing more
to undermine the constitutions of
the young men Of our country than
almost anything else." Persons of
heavy plethoric habits, and such as
live plainly, often prespiring from
hard work, and those much in the
air, do not SO soon or SO serverly suf-
fer as others. Therefore partial
explanation of the endurance of the
Germans under tobacco, which is
often adduced to prove its harmless
ness. But do they find it harmless!
Recently in Germany it's use has been
strictly prohibited to lads under six
teen. In France the same step is
contemplated, such uneasiness is felt
concerning the diminishing stature
and longevity Of the people, some
of the most eminent of their scientists
ascribing it to the use Of tobacco. So
long ago as 1868 the Minister of
Public Instruction issued a circular
forbidding its use by pupils Of the
public schools. led thereto by ascer-
| tanning that in the Ecole Polytechni-
que non-smokers took highest rank
in every grade, while smokers lost
grade continually. The same state
ment has been made concerning the
students Of our own Yale College

It aids digestion and the natural action of
the liver, and by feeding the nerves with

No Bottom Yet.

Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew, the elo-
auent millionaire who went about the
country last fall telling the people
what marvellous prosperity would fol
low the triumph of sound money, is
now out in an interview to the effrct
that the bottom has not yet been
cached and there can be no pros
perity at least untll fall and not then
unless congress does the right thing
What has become of that confidence
that was positively guaranteed TO
come with the election of Mckinley?
People were told that our ills we're
due entirely to a distrust of the move
ment for silver and cheap money.
They we're informed that If "sound
money prevailed and the govern
ment was put in the hands of the
friends of national honor" all would
be well with the country and every
body would be perfectly happy. All
these things have been done and still
we are as far from getting well as
ever. Indeed, Mr.. Depew tells US
that we are going TO get sicker. We
have not the slightest doubt of this
prediction. We believe the elections
next fall will show that Chauncey
was right. In fact there is every in
dicatlon that the people will begin to
show signs of fatal illness as a result
of the gold cure this coming spring.
We would like to look into the
pleasant face of some one who has
never had any arrangement OF the
digestive organs. We see the drawn
and unhappy faces Of dyspeptics in
every walk of life. 1t is our national
disease, and nearly all complaints
spring from this source. Remove the
stomach difficulty and the work is
doIe.
Dyspeptics and pale, thin people
are literally starving, because they
don't digest their food. Consump-
tion never develops in people OF ro-
bust and normal digestion. Correct
the wasting and loss of flesh and we
cure the disease. Do this with food.

tains already digested food and is a

effects are felt at once. Get pamph-
