"When my baby was two months
old she cried night and day, and
seemed to be in great pain. Sho had
a discharge from her ears, and tho top
of her head broke out in scrofulous
eruptions. The doctor gave mo some
thing to stop the discharge and ease
the pain, but his treatment did not
cure her and we were sorry to see
She Grow Worse
instead Of better. The top Of her
head broke out with scrofula. A
crust would form on her head and fall
off, taking the hair along with it,
and this continued for two or three
months, when something seemed to tell
me to try Hoods Snrsnparilla, and l
did so, together with Hoods Pills
and Hoods Olive Ointment. Soon
Tho Discharge Stopped
and the sores werc rapidly healing.
In short time her hair grew out and
she now has rosy checks and is all

TILE WILLIAMS Ability.

Capt. l. B. Williams, who was in
command of the big towboat Joseph
B. Williams for almost four years,
says: During my commandership
the Williams towed from Louisville,
KY, TO New Orleans, La, 468 boats
and % barges of coal aggregating H.
236, coo bushels of coal. This was dur
ing a period of three years and ten
months, dating from June /, 1891. Dur
ing that time the Williams lost six
boats of coal, containing 10000 bush
els. Three of the boats were lost by
striking one OF the piers Or the Cairo
bridge; another at Brandenburg while
she was ice-bound; one in windstOrm
above Cairo, and one was lost at ISL
and 80. in the Mississippi. The amount
of coal towed from Louisville down
does not include the amount of coal
which the Williams towed from Pitts
burg to Louisville She towed on an
average Of 81 boats and 2 barges on
each trip between Louisville and New
Orleans during the time | was in COM
mand. AS to Alabama coal, | am sat
isfied that a boat like the Williams
could tow 500 boats from Greenvllle
to New Orleans. and could make ten
trips a year during a period of high
water at one-third the cost OF towing
coal from Pittsburg to New Orleans.
This would aggregate 500 boats sea-
son and would more than supply the
New ORLEANS market
