SHAT 'ERED.
The Precarious Condition Of Prof.
A. H. Nye.
Prominent Iowa Educators Painful Experience as Re-
lated by Him to Newspaper Man.
From ns Gazette, Cedar Fails, To,oa.

The Ia grippe, that dread disease that had
such run throughout this country three and
four years since, left many who were pre-
viousfy In robust health with shattered con-
stitutions and seemingly confirmed invalids.
Prof. A. II. Nye, living at No. $500 Olive
Street, Cedar Falls Iowa, was among the
number left by the disease in precarious
condition, his nervous system shattered, and
with a general debility OF his entire system ;
no strength, feet and limbs badly swollen, in
fact, he was almost helpless. Prof. Nye is q
native of New York State, having come west
in 1864 healthy, robust man. He is school
teacher by profession, having served rs coun-
ty superintendent of schools of this (Black
Hawk) county, several terms, and he has
the respect of all with whom he comes in con-
tact. His helpless condition called forth
the sympathy of the entire community. He
tried the best medical sill procurable, and
spent most of his ready means in the vain
endeavor to recover his health, and had
about given up completely discouraged. He
had stopped taking treatment, being fully
convinced in his own mind that there was
no help for him, and that he would have to
spend the balance of his days as an invalid
a burden to family and friends. Some one
who had heard of DIR. Williams Pink Pills,
spoke to him about them and urged his Civ
ing them q trial. His poor success with
eminent physicians made him skeptical and
he had no faith in what was called proprie-

tary medicine, and would not listen to this
advice fer some days. The friend being per-
sistent, however, and having faith in the
Pink Pills, would not let up, until he had
finally prevailed upon the sufferer TO send
for box, which he reluctantly did, and after
receiving them decided to give them fair
trial. The first box relieved him in a sur
prising manner; yet he was not convinced
that It was the medicine that helped him,
but the weather which had turned pleasant,
and did not send for further supply until
he was agnin about as bad as before taking
the pills. Theu he concluded he would mako
another trial, and took three boxes, and to-
day is nearly if not quite as well as before
the attack Of 10 grippe. II is needless to
state he cannot soy too much for DIR. Will

A MAN OF NEW IDEAS.
ALFRED HARMsWoRTH is THE NAPo.
LEON OF ENGLISH JOURNALISM.

Discarded the Traditions of Fleet street
and struck Out Boldly In New Fields
Now His Thirty Papers Have Com
binod Circulation of 100000 Copies.
In America the name of Alfred G.
Harmsworth is dimly connected with a re-
cent arctic expedition. Throughout the
United Kingdom, however, his name is n
household word. He is known TO the
British public as publisher of many sue
cessful newspapers. He is the Napoleon of
English journalism.
Here in America we have no one TO
whom he can be compared. Our Danas,
our Pulitzers, our Taylors our Hearsts are
not in the same class with Harmsworth
the great. They control one, or at the
most two, powerful journals. He not only
owns the most successful of the London
dailies, but 80 other publications in vari-
Gus parts of Great Britain.
And Mr.. Harmsworth has reached this
journalistic pinnacle entirely through his
own efforts. When he was graduated from
Oxford at 81, he had before him q most
commonplace future. His father was n
moderately successful barrister, and it was
his intention that his son should achieve
the same modest height But Harms
worth junior was not commonplace. In
spite of parental misgivings he broke away
from the traditional course and launched
himself into newspaper making.
Almost before tho ordinary man would
have got his first bearings he had planned
an enterprise of his own and was carrying
it out with cool assurance that was as
founding to his slower paced coworkers.
On an almost microscopic capital he start.
cd "a weekly paper called Answers. 1t was
an entire novelty, and it was q success
from the start. 1t filed previously un-
occupied niche. 1t was something which
the public wanted.
But, having once hit the bullseye, he
did not hang up his rifle and retire from
the field He wns young and ambitious,
so he tried other ventures along various
lines. He had no foolish ideas about ele-
waiting the taste of the reading public. He
just found out what the public wanted to

why will people continue to suffer and drag
out an unhappy and miserable existence Of
sickness, pain, weakness and debility when
there is q remedy sure to cure DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy is pro-
nounced on every hand and by all classes Of
people to be the most wonderful cure for dis
case ever known. 1t cures where all others
fail. Physicians declare DR.. Greene's Nery-
IRA to be beyond doubt the grandest medical
discovery Of this century and recommend and
prescribe It as the surest Of all remedies to re-
store health and strength, to make the sick
well and TO relieve the weakness, debility, PAIN,
anguish and suffering Of disease.
What higher commendation can this mcdi'
cine have, what more convincing proof, what
more positive assurance that DR.. Greene:
Neryura blood and nerve remedy will surely
cure, than the recommendation and indorse'
ment OF the Red Cross Society through 1t:

average for number of years, which
would bring the price about half way
