and dlarrhea, almost unable TO get around

ne had founi relief, meeting him on the
street recently, asked if he wouldn't give
him all the facts, as he was Interested. as
were also all mis- friends. Mr.. Risk said he
was only too glad to let the people in gen.
erai ana his old comrades in particular (who
ne knew were suffering from complaints
similar to his) know what had benefited him.

me. began using them and soon COM

was noticeable, and this was encouraging.
IN the course Of about three weeks my con-
ditlon was vastly improved. To the present
time have taken Is boxes of Pink pills,
and can truthfully say believe l am en-
tlrely cured of my kidney and liver trouble
and nearly so of my diarrhoea. My nerv-
Gus trouble, too, is so much better that
am sure cure will be entirely perfected in
"a short time.

great benefit. Her blood was in an ex-

They are now manufactured by the DR..

ant Capture.
On Monday the 18th, Harold Marouisee. OF
Utica, n. Y, was arrested in Syracuse, n.
Y, on warrant sworn out by the Dr.
Williams Medicine Co., charging him with
forgery. On the 18th OF December Marqui-
see visited q photo-engraver in Syracuse,
saying he was the representative of the Dr.
Williams Medicine Co, and arranged for
the making of full set of plates for the di-
rectlon sheets, tables, ETC., of the famous
Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
News of this reached the home office, and
no time was lost in arranging for his arrest
when he should return for the plates. He
returned on the 18th and was accordingly
arrested and is now in Jail in Syracuse
awaiting examination
ms arrest proves to be an important one
IN addltlon to various plumber, such as
meolcal books, typewriters, rugs, etc,
round In Marquisees trunk when arrested,
the police also found counterfeit coin both
In the trunk and on his person; and in
search OF his apartments at Utica found
complete outfit for cogaterfeiting con-
slstlng or crucibles bellows, nickel. lead,
bismuth, anthony, small blacksmith
forge, a charcoal furnace, and several
plaster-of-paris molds. The United States
marshals want him Just as soon as the DIR.
Williams Medicine Co. are through with
him, and, no doubt, he will be sentenced
for long period.
In selecting DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
his counterfeiting operations, he showed
his knowledge of the proprietary medical
business; for these pills are in such great
demand that they are easily sold at any
drug store in the United States His scheme
was to work the country druggists and sell
his limitations at a discount of from 2 per
cent to per cent, explaining the reduced
price by the fact that he had picked them
up in small lots and at discount from
dealers who were over-stOcked. By work
ing fast and making long jumps, he world
nave secured many hundreds of dollars in
short time. The proprietors of DR.. VIII
llams' Pink Pills are most fortunate to
have caught the rogue, before he had fair
" started, and to have thus kept these
spurious goods out of the market
