THREE SCORE YEARS AND TEN.
A Case in Which Friendship and Help
Would Find Profit

The case of a worthy old gentleman
who deserves the sympathy and assist
ance of kindly disposed persons has just
come to the notice Of The Herald. DR..
Timothy B. Taylor, who is quite well
known in the east as an educator and a
man of deep learning, is in this city. al
most penniless and without friends or
acquaintances to whom he can appeal
for aid. He came here about four
months ago in the hope of benefiting his
failing health. DR.. Taylor Is now i3
years old, and lives in room at 337
Crocker street. The room is provided
with little oil stove. On which he cooks
his own meals. DR.. Taylor passed
through the war of the rebellion, and
now draws very small pension, which
he says would be adequate for his simple
needs were it not for the expense to
which he has been put of late for medical
attendance. Previous to the war he
was president of the Winnebago normal
and collegiate school. He has since been
ncsj and has held a professorship in the
American Medical and Surgical univer-
sity at Philadelphia. He is the author
of several philosophical works, and now
has the manuscript of a treatise on
psychology almost completed.
DIR. Taylor is a very pleasant talker
and appears to enjoy telling about his
past experiences, although he feels
keenly his present condition.
IF 1 can manage to get along until
grow a little better I am sure that can
make living" he said yesterday, but
it seems so hard that l should be stricken
down at this time"
He has not appealed to any Of the
benevolent societies, and says that he
does not want to be a recipient of aims,
but hopes for chance to be able to earn
something. This is certainly a good op-
portunity for some one to do kind act

hibition ordinance. Louis Crawford was

AGoNIzING EXPERIENCES
Meeting of the Spiritualists. Disem-
bodied Spirits and Others

The spiritualist meeting held in the
Friday Morning club rooms last even
ing did not draw a very large audi
ence. Mr.. Carl Sawvell, the first speaker
delivered an address full of practical
suggestions to his hearers, that might
have come with equal point and applica-
tion from the platform of any other
ism, orthodox or hetorodox. He spoke OF
the numerous calls for help that come
to the society and cOunseled the mem
bers to help the poor and suffering; that
he who shared his all with others helps
himself out of selfishness and penurious-
ness. He who desires to be Christian
should show it in his life. At this point
Mrs. II. S. Gribben, q test medium, ap-
peared on the floor with her hair hang
Ing down her back and rather distrait in
appearance. and announced that it
would be impossible to speak or to give
tests. The agonizing experiences, the
character of which she did not state, of
the past two days had been such as to
unit her to talk on the present occasion,
and should there be q repetition of them
she should be inclined to give up public
work. Mr.. H. S. Hubbard being called
upon to fill the vacancy, asked the au-
dience to suggest a subject. That of
reincarnation being named, the speaker
launched out on q dissertation on dis
embodied spirits. What he did not know
about reincarnation was more apparent
than his familiarity with it, and his
spirit friends were all too tardy in en-
tightening him on the subject.

An Unprecedented
GaiI, in Weight
A Trained Nurse Gained Fifty=three
Pounds by Using Nerve Food.
ONE OF TNE MOST REMARKABLE
RESULTS on RECORD.
From the Gazette, Yonkers, ". 2.

NJ don't look much like living skeleton
now, do And yet two years ago l weighed
just seventy-two pounds" said Mrs. J. w.
Coffey, of IS Warburton Avenue, Yonkers,
N. Y, to a reporter. And we agreed with
her, for she certainly looked anything but q
living skeleton, but rather bore the appear
ance of a plump and attractive lady in ex-
cellent health and spirits. Continuing she
said:
81 had lost my appetite and was wasting
away in flesh, losing some fifty pounds in a
few months. Doctors said l was threatened
with consumption. l was under what was
regarded as frst-class medical treatment
but it had apparently little or no effect, for
kept getting worse until 1 was so weak
that 1 could not attend to my household
duties and could hardly walk. My husband
and everybody who saw ne thought surely
that would die, and there seemed no help
for me.
"Tonics and stimulants and medicines all
seemed useless, and grew worse and worse
until at last l resolved to seek some new
remedy - one entirely out of the usual line
of nauseous drugs and doses of stuff which
seemed to take away what little relish |
might perhaps otherwise have had for food.
A friend told me of some wonderful cures
effected by DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People and bought box. The effect
from their use was noticeable from the first
and soon appeared almost miraculous, for it
seemed pretty nearly like the raising Of one
from the dead.
81 soon commenced to eat, something l
had scarcely done before for weeks, and soon
began to gain in flesh and strength. l went
one day to the doctors Office and he was sur
prised at the change in me for the better.
had TO confess that l had been taking the
pills, and he was broad minded enough to
advise me to continue what was evidently
doing me so much good. l took, in all, six
boxes, and increased in weight from ~ to
125 pounds, which is my regular and normal
weight"
"Are you sure the cure is permanent"
"Well, yes. My work is that of trained
nurse, which means, as you probably know,
irregular hours and at times great exhaus-
tion. During the two years since my re-
covery ] have had many engagements and
through them all have continued in good
health. l take pleasure in bearing testi-
mony to the remarkable power of this great
effected by it. A friend of mine suffered
greatly at her monthly periods. One box
relieved and three boxes cured her. But
know of no case equal to mine, for my situ-
alton was critical, desperate and almost
hopeless"
Mrs. Coffey has lived in Yonkers for six
teen years, and for twelve years has followed
the business of attending the sick, excepting
only the period Of her illness. She has
hundreds of acquaintances and friends who
know her to be capable and Trustworthy.
Many of them know how very ill she was
and how remarkable was her recovery. The
pills have large sale in Yonl1ers and West
chester County, which will be greatly in
creased as their merits become better known,
for they seem to be one Of the medical mar
vels Of the age.
