HE SELDOM SLEEPS.
rhis Man Takes a Nap Only Once Every
Two Weeks.

10 sleep but once in IA days and then
only under the influence of opiates
seems cruel enough condition. 1t is
only part of the torture which NJ. B.
Cowdrick of Bradford, Clearfield coun-
ty, Pa, has suffered for the past / l
years.
Mr. Cowdrick's life during that time
has been one of such unending agony
that nothing but the state Of the
damned can be worse. Human ingenuity
never devised such cruelty. He would
be in good luck if he could change places
with victim of Turkish or Chinese
legal torture. His pain, which is un-
ceasing, is just as great as 1t can be
without depriving him of life and put
ting him out of his misery. 1t is thus
the most appalling form Of suffering
which the human mind can conceive.
Eleven years ago Mr.. Cowdrick was
attacked by pains which he thought to
be rheumatic They soon caused him
acute suffering, and he consulted a To-
ldl Dll rlLluu. 4nls man . ~
was tried for some months and had no
good results. 4 second physician was
consulted and again without effect.
Mr. Cowdrick then went to Philadel-
pbia. where he consulted a well known
specialist in the treatment Of rheumat.
ic disease. The exact nature of his COM
plant was a mystery to this practition-
er. He experimental with various rem
edies without success.
The invalid visited in succession
three other we'll known Philadelphia
physicians. Not one of them was able
to relieve him. One of them recon-
mended pine baths, and these he also
tried without success. During this
time the disease had been steadily grow
ing worse until Cowdrick was in the
condition in which he still finds him
self. The pains were incessant, and he
had to spend his time sitting helpless
in an easy chair, squeezing his racked
limbs. Natural sleep became impossible
and only opiates brought this great re-
lever.
After physicians he tried patent med
icines, and in these alone he spent over
$4,000. Before his illness he was a
we'll TO do man; now he is on the verge
of poverty.
Eleven years ago his condition neces-
STATED a heavy dose Of opiates. The mi
tial dose soon became powerless and had
10 be increased rapidly. Now the guam
tity that will give him relief is so great
that it means further weakening Of
his shattered health 1t is not possible,
without endangering his life, to put
him to sleep more than once in two
weeks
Night and day he sits in his invalid
chair, wringing his hands in hopeless
suppication, waiting for the relief that
never comes. His once strong frame is
reduced to a writhing skeleton, but still
resists the attack Of the enemy that
never relents. Sleep is possible so sell
dom that it is no more than drop OF
dew TO the tongue Of a man dying Of
thirst. Medical science can do nothing
for him, and as long as his strength
holds out he must live a life that is
worse than death. New York Journal.

Itching,
Burning,
Eczema

Is the external indication of a con-
dition of the blood which produces a
fiery irritation almost unbearable. It is
a mistake to think that this local irrita-
ton is the disease itself-it is simply an
evidence of disordered condition of the
blood. :. The seat of the disease is in the
blood, and this is why the various salves
and ointments usually applied have no
effect whatever. They cannot possibly
reach the origin Of the trouble; only a
blood remedy can do that. S. S S. is
without an equal for blood diseases, and
promptly and permanently cures Eczema
and removes all faint.
Much torture could be avoided if the
first itching symptoms were needed and
course of S.S.S. taken promptly, as APP
parently insignificant skin irritations
usually develop into the worst form
of Eczema unless properly treated.
1t matters not what other treatment
has been tried in vain, S. S. S. always
gets at the seat of the disease, and
forces it out.

LEAGUE GAMES

The Lindens met with their first defeat
of the season. last night at home alleys,
in the contest with the Doolittle Club,
in the Jersey City League series. 1t was
a great surprise to the leaders, and was
gained by some strong rolling on the part
OF the Woods Hall team. In both
matches the visitors put up a speedy game
and kept the Lindens on the move. In
the opening game the Doobsttles cut out
the work, and led the Lindens until the
seventh frame when the home bowlers
got in some fast work with the ball and
managed to pull away from their rivals
and beat them by 4s pins. The Lindens
made the most of their gain on credits
They were alike on breaks, both having
twelve. Chesterfield n Dickson helped
along at the right time, and their scores
carried the team into a safe retreat for
the time being. In the second game, how
ever, the Doolittles went right at the
Lindens, and battered down the pins until
they gained a commanding lead, and they
held it until the finish, beating the
champions by GO pins with the best aver
age of the night. The Doolittles rolled
a pretty game, every member passing the
16O mark. Barnes was high man. The
victory gives the Doolittles a better
chance for second prize, as the Van Ber-
gen who are only one game ahead of them,
have yet to meet the Lfndens on the
Greenville alleys. The scores we're
