Chronic Rheumatism.

me Patient Had suffered for Over
Thirty Years and Now Enjoys
Perfect Health.
From the Industrial News, Jackson. Mich.
The Industrial News, ever on tn.
alert to bring its readers all items OF in
terest, learned of the entire cure of one
of jackson county's prominent citizens,
Mr.. Lorenzo Medley, of Liberty town
ship, who had suffered with the twangs
and pangs of rheumatism for over
thirty years.
In order to give authentic facts, an
Industrial News representative inter-
viewed Mr.. Medley and elected the
following facts:
Mr.. Lorenzo Medley is Sc years Of
age, and actively engaged in farming.
When II years old by an unfortunate
accident he hurt his shoulder, and a
few years after that he commenced to
have rheumatic pains in his shoulders.
This would not always trouble him, but
on taking slight cold or the least
strain. or sometimes without any APP
parent cause the trouble would start
again and he would suffer the most ex-
cruciating pains.
For over thirty years he has thus
suffered, and for the last decade has
suffered continually SO that he was
unable to do any work. To this the
frequent occurrences Of dizzy spells was
lately added, making him almost a
helpless invalid.
He tried the best physicians but with
out getting any help, and has tried sew
eral specific rheumatic cures, but all
without any appreciable relief. About
one year and six months ago he read in
the jackson Industrial News of case
somewhat similar to his which was
cured by the use of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, and he concluded
to try this remedy.
After the first box he felt somewhat
better, and after taking three boxes the
pains entirely disappeared and the dizzi-
ness left him, and he has now for over
q year been entirely free from all his
former trouble ad enjoys better health
than he has had since his boyhood.
Mr.. Neeley is loud in his praises Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo
pie, and will gladly corroborate the
above statements. His postoffice adj
dress il Lorenzo Medley, Horton, Jack
son county, Michigan.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People contain, in condensed 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 a. supprsssions, 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, overwork or
excuses Of whatever nature. Pink
Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose
bulk) at so cents box or six boxes for
81. so, and may be had of all druggists,
or direct by mail from DR.. Williams

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins = Compsny's Review
Of Trade.

Downing, Hopkins = Company's Review
Of Trade.
The wheat market was very dull DUR
ing the past week On Saturday q
speculative demand sprung upon
"tip" that the coming government re-
port on growing winter wheat would
show a decline in condition of about 5
points and have tendency to enhance
values.
The slow demand from abroad for
our wheat is especially discouraging, as
the inquiry is below anything figured
early in the season, on this side of the
Atlantic or on the other other. When
the figures of total production were first
compiled the only question that agi-
tated spectators was the problem OF
how the world was going to get along
with so light supply, without prices
advancing to point that would turn
enough consumption to substitutes for
wheat, to make the less quantity of it
do for the whole crop year. Most peo-
pie thought then that nothing short of
goo to 81 q bushel would do it. There
is where the mistake seems to lie.
About 75c in the primary markets
turned away enough wheat bread eaters
to substitutes to lengthen sufficiently
the supply, for all practical purposes.
Even at the moderate prices prevailing
last week, this country's foreign ship
ments were away under 1900, 900
bushels. The low price of corn at 25c,
of rye at $50, barley at $50, and oats at
18c are particularly attractive to the
practical economist who supplies the
family table, in these times, when SO
many are idle or in a state bordering
upon iCleness. The official wheat
yield in this country was something OF
an error, but the usual commercial reck-
oning was not much astray. The fault
of calculation seems to be in the price
that would turn SO many consumers to
the cheaper cereals.

Gladness Comes

With a better understanding of tsae
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasante efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to q constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-l
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cell
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most shillful
physicians, but if in need of q laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Higs stands highest and Is most largely
sAed and gives most general satisfaction.

Deafness Cannot Re Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
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 infamed condition OF the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tubes. When
this tube gets infiamed you have rum bling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t Is
entirely closed deafness Is the result, and
unless che inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which
Is nothing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
~annot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send

Asbestoes for Boot soles.

Everyday brings out some new use
fhr asbestos. Now it is proposed to use
it in the soles of boots. Asbestos wool,
pressed by hydr aulic force into thin
sheets, waterproofed on. one side, is to
be inserted as the middle sole. Ashes
tos is a nonconductor of heat and cold,
and in conjunction with waterproof
material will have the effect of counter
acting the influence of heat, cold and
moisture. 1t is said that asbestos lined
boots cannot creak in ware. and are
much more flexible than ordinary boots.
A man wearing asbestos boots can walk
over live electric wires in safety, as it is
a nonconductor.

Christmas and Gard Playing.

In the time of Henry VII. of Eng

prohibited all of his Majesty's subjects
except the nobility and the royal family
from playing cards, diversion which
was at that time new and very popular.
This act was to only be IN force during
the Christmas holidays. The original
act prohibited card games by any of his
Majesty's subjects, but the king refused
to sign it, and severely rebuked parlia-
ment for presuming to interfere with
the pastimes of his court.

Logan Scrapper Meets His Mem
aaIa


Logan, Utah, December 2o.-Peter
Peterson, alias "Scaly Pete" is reported
lying at the point of death at his
brother Nephi's residence on the
Church farm, having apparently fallen
a victim to his peculiar idiosyncrasy,
that of hunting trouble whenever under
the influence of liquor. This has been
the bane of his life for several years,
and got him into trouble and Jail last
week, after an attempt to immediate a
brother-in-law and afterward down the
biggest cop on the force, in both of
which he was unsuccessful. His efforts
landed him in Jail, and it was not until
Sunday Afternoon that he was set &C
liberty. He Immediately sought one of
the haunts of King Gambrinus situated
outside of the city limits, and once
more drank himself up to the danger
stage.
1t is evident that after leaving the
''boozing ken" he met someone willing
to indulge his weakness, as his mani
mate, almost dead form was found on
Monday morning In the Millville lane.
The evidences of a hard fight were
everywhere visible. The ground in the
vicinity bore unmistakeable traces, and
as his coat and vest had been previously
removed. it was evident that he was not
taken unawares, but went into the scrap
with intent to damage his oppon~ mt. 1t
wassequally evident that he had struck
ehe wrong man. His opponents iden-
ty is wrapped in mystery SO far, but
that he was at least equally brutal is
proven by the fact that after kicking
and pounding Peterson's head to jelly
he left MIN in an unconscious condition
with the blood pouring from his ears,
nose and mouth, with no covering but
his underclothing and shirt to protect
him from the inclemency of the wealth.
err, and it was far below the freezing
point. At last reports Peterson had not
regained consciousness, and it seemed
strongly probable that he would die
without being able to divulge the name
of his slayer.
