great variety of diseases because a
great variety of diseases are caused by
impure and impoverished blood. 1t cures
completely and permanently because it
removes the cause of the trouble so that
there no longer remains any reason for
the suffering. 1t cures scrofula, rheuma-
tism, catarrh, dyspepsia, biliousness,
kidney complaint, and other ailments be-
cause these diseases have their origin in
the blood. Thousands of people who once
suffered from such troubles are alive and
well today, and say they cannot help
praising Hoods Sarsaparilla because it
has given them good health, heightened
their lives and afforded them new oppor-
tunities for happiness and usefulness,
1t is beneficent work that Hoods
Sarsaparilla is doing. 1t helps poor
tired mothers by purifying and enriching
their blood and giving them appetite and
strength. 1t builds up broken down con-
stitutions, relieves the pangs of rheu
matism and neuralgia, dispels the horrors
of dyspepsia and nervous prostration,
overcomes the symptoms of catarrh, Grad
icates scrofula, salt rheum and all blood
diseases and makes the weak and debili-
tated feel strong and vigorous. Hoods
Sarsaparilla is the friend of the sufferer

OF the list of the many so-called incur
able disorders none has proved to be more
of an enigma to the most learned and
accomplished physicians than loeomotor
ataXia, or as it is more commonly known,
creeping paralysis. This dread disease
has baffied their SKILL and they have been
forced to admit that they cannot success
fully cope with it. All they have been
able to do is to mitigate the accompanying
pain and suffering; beyond this the sci
ence of medicine has been of little or no
avail to the many unfortunates who have
contracted the dreadful malady, which
many people, especially those who are
thus afflicted, believe is a forerunner of
the grim messenger of death.

The scene of he story is laid in Wisconsin
early in the 40's, and 1t traces the history of
young girl. from childhood to womanhoOd, un-
folding the Steps of her intellectual develop
ment and her growth into noble character
The story is very gracefully written, and will
take high rank among the books for young
women of which the time is so prolific. 1t will
please readers old and young. and will be es-
pecially interesting to all who are interested In
the early beginnings of society in the West.
In waiting on Destiny the author provides
for girl readers a well-written and heaIthful
story of early Wisconsin life when that State
was on the frontiers of the great West. The
whole tone of the book is pure and elevating,
and no young girl can peruse its genuinely in
teresting and picturesque pages without receiv-
ing decided moral upllfI as we'll as salutary

This is a story of life in Wisconsin at the time
when that was a new country, the heroine being
girl with great hunger for books, and living
IN region where there was great famine of
literature. The closing chapters describe some
phases of the excitement prevailing just before
the Rebellion and at the time of that outbreak
Aside from the interest attaching to the pace
and the time, the narrative in itself has quail
tiles that would win for it wide circle of read

one can find opinions pronounced on a variety

1t will not be difficult to discern the originals

RHEUMATISM AND
KIDNEY TROUBLE.
The Result of Sleeping Without
Shelter and Drinking AL
kali Water
Out of the Gratitude of His Heart, Mr.
John Mcmillan Tells q Reporter
How He was Cured of Most
Terrible Suffering.

From the Capital, st. John, Kansas.
Your correspondent in an interview with
Mr. John Mcmillan, who resides at St. John,
Kansas, elected the following information
concerning the wonderful curative proper
ties contained in DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
Mr.. Mcmillan said:
I'm the fall of 1894, / with another man,
decided upon hunting expedition into the
south late in the fall. The weather was
damp and cold, and we were compelled to
sleep on the ground with nothing but a tent
for protection. The exposure, coupled with
the bad water, which IN that county con-
tains great quantity of alkali and gypsum,
caused me to contract bad case of kidney
trouble and rheumatism, something l had
never known before. After remaining in
the Territory for several months and con-
tlnuing to grow worse, / concluded the best
thing for me to do was TO come home, which
l proceeded to do, but became worse.
Il tried several remedies without avail.
Ny nights were spent IN sleeplessness and
misery, and / became convinced that gust
have help Immediately. Some one told me
the benefits they had derived from DIR. VIII
liams' Pink Pills, and ] determined to give
them trial, which did, and l can truth
fully assert to you that their action was
magical. From the first dose I commenced
improving and twas but a short time until
all pain had left me, and / felt entirely well.
What is more, | have never had reeur-
renee of my trouble from the time of nv re-
covery until the present time 1 can Ger
| tainly recommend DR.. Williams Pink Pills
as one of the best medicines on the market,
it not the best
In conclusion, Mr.. Mcmillan asked us il
| we intended making his statement public
and upon our affirmative reply he remarked
| that he was perfectly satisfied, as he had
often contemplated doing so himself, as he
considered it a duty he owed to suffering
humanity
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a
condensed form, all the elements necessary

unfailing specific for such diseases as loco

of his studies of neurasthenia or uerv-
Gus exhaustion. He believes that mel
ancholia is the mental reflex of nerv-
Gus fatigue. In great sorrow the brain
is violently overweight. There results
a slackening in the functions of all the
organs, dimunition in the tensity of
the muscles, general weakening of
which the brain becomes conscious
through the medium of the sensory
nerves. 1t is this consciousness to
which M. de Fleury gives the name of
melancholy. Despite a few excitabIe
outbursts, he has found neurasthenic
patients habitually sluggish of diges-
ton, feeble and weakened. The7h
sends a weak stream of pale blood
through the body. Lack of mental en-
ergy also exists, shown by restlessness,
indeciSion, sloth, lack of concentration
and hypochondria. On the other hand,
cerebral stimulus is shown by pride,
faulty, anger. selfShness and cruelty.
Administer a sedative to one of these
stimulated subjects, and he becomes
sad, passive, timid. Give a tonic to a
dOwncast man, and he will become
gay or passionate. Herein lies the dan
ger in alcohol. A low pressure of blood
in the arteries causes apprehensiveness,
slightly higher is only indicated by
melancholy and exhaustion, then in
progressive order timidity, gentleness,
Indifference, next chceriness, mirth, hi
larity. Greater pressure still brings
courage, tenacity and ardor for work.
Increasing pressure brings the dam
ger point again, as is indicated in turn
by eXcitabiIity and irritable tendency,
anger, fury and paroxysms-homici
tendency. DR.. de Fleury seems con-
vinced that by use of shower and salt
baths, massage, hypodermic injections
OF salt water and artificial serum, phys
zeal fatigue and melancholy may be
removed and patient raised to prop
er degree of normal eXcitation above
the zone of Indifference and below that
of anger, that medicine can accustom
the brain in this state, and make il
permanent.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
