General Wiles was colonel Of his regiment.
and while with Sherman, was gazetted
brigadier-general.
The General lives the greater part Of his
time in Halstead, Kansas, though he is
much in Windsor, New York, in both of
which places he has business interests that
require his presence.
Some few years ago General Wiles was
attacked by illness, which came very near
proving fatal. Typhoid fever, followed by
~lnfiamnatory rheumatism and then par
alysis. made u temporary wreck Of the her
culean frame, and in view of his advanced
age, his anxious friends believed that be
was not long for this world. The following
is his OWN account of his illness:
"ln the latter part OF 1890, l was taken
which confined me to my bed for two
months. Two months is a long time to be
in bed, but / was not to get up yet, for in
fammatory rheumatism seized me. and it
was worse than the typhoid, for it was
more painful. To add to my trouble and
rheumatism was followed by d stroke Of
paralysis, and I almost totally lost the use
Of my legs and arms, for l could not walk a
step and could not feed myself. One would
almost think that l had reached the summit,
or perhaps l had better say the depths Of
misery, but such was not the case, for my
kidneys gave out, and this seemed to be
the last straw on the load that was to
crush me.
"My friends all thought T. would never
recover, and though the doctors came to see
ne and prescribed, it was easy to see that
they We're but trying to make my pathway
to the grave a little more easy, without the
remotest hope of recovery. and l looked for
ward to death with happiness.
while in this frame Of mind, l was adj
vised by a friend to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, and began the use of them, taking
one pill after each meal, and this 1 contin-
ued for one week, and began to fancy l per-
ceived improvement in my condition. l
then increased the dose to two after each
meal, and at the end of the second week
there vas no doubt but what Pink Pills
were making me better. so I kept on using
them according to directions, and in three
months was a we'll man"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all the
clements necessary TO give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are sold in boxes (never In

either treachery or deceit.

Ancient Philosophy.

The Society for Philosophical Inquiry met
in the Columbian University yesterday and
listened to an interesting paper on "Philos-
ophy as Affected by Nationality" by Rev.
Frank Sewall Of the New Church. Mr. rSewall
traced the philosophic tendency in the
Aryan races to the Hellenic realization in
sculpture, art and the drama. He spoke
of the prophetic vision in the Greeks, and
of the Ionians' search for divinity and
origin. Through the Indo-European race
he followed the philosophic influence upon
the Teutonic. Slavonic, Hellenic and Gaelic
races. The burden of modern philosophy
has been borne by the Teutonic and Celtic
races. and the latter has supplanted the
Hellenic influence upon philosophical
thought.
