AN EFFORT IN The CAUSE OF SUFFERING
HUMANITY.
The Successful Msihod Of Mayor Wner II Accomplishing Praise
worthy Undertaking -Many People will be Benefited.
From, The op.ie-Ne,es, WsAsptlle, 10.

The Hon. c. II. Weltner, mayor of Wells.
vile, No., has lately accomplished something
Of which he might justly be proud. 1t is an
effort In the cause of suffering humanity and
one which, for nearly ten years, he has been
quietly trying to carry out.
Everyone in and around Wellsville knows
Mayor Weltner, and of his progressive busi-
ness ability, which has made him a leader in
various enterprises. 1t is this fact which
inspires confidence and the hearty support oil
citizens in his undertakings.
About ten years ago he appealed to the
best local physicians as well as to number
of specialists, for relief from the dread dis
ease-catarrh, but his appeals were in vain
the doctors efforts were fruitless. The dis
case all the while, was fastening its clutches
frmer upon him and he was about to despair
of ever obtaining relief when DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People were recommended
and as q last resort he began their use, the
happy sequel Of which Is that he now feels
like O new man.
" / became aware about ten years ago." he
says, e" Of the fact that some disease was prey,
ing upon me. The physician whom consulted
diagnosed my case as 'pharyngeal catarrh' and
prescribed for it.
Instead of getting relief the disease had
deeper hold upon my system.
81 sought other physicians, but their treat.
ment was unavailing. / tried q number oil
catarrh remedies, but without obtaining any
relief to speak of, and had come to the con.
cluson that my case was incurable. DIR. viii.

Pink Pills for Pale People, spent three
hundred dollars for medical aid which was
the same as thrown away, as no benefit was
derived.
"Now, the secret of these pills is that they
purify the blood, and, ofcourse, that viii help
in any disease. They are the best blood puri-
fer l ever used"
The best authorities state that catarrh is q
blood disease acting upon the mucous surfaces
of the system. It does not always commence
in the nose, but frequently starts in the
stomach or bowels with symptoms ike dys-
pepsia, which many mistake for that disease.
This ia because the blood is in such con-
dtion az to irritate the stomach. 1t is awaste
of time and money besides harmful to use
"snuffs." DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People are composed of vegetable ingredients,
forming an internal remedy which acts di-
reetly on the blood and mucous surfaces Of the
system, cleansing it from impurities and caus-
ing the diseased matter TO pass through the
proper channels. The medical profession rec.
ommends these pills and every druggist sells
them.

For another quarter OF an hour that

"All right.
They nerved themselves up to bring
the matter to a speedy crisis. Both fixed
bayonets, and placing themselves abreast
made rush for the fence in front of the

shot being fired at them. Then Stock

Notes of Interest Concerning Doings of the
Order.
The members OF the Union Veterans
Union of Washington, d. c., turned out
in full force Nov. Is to do honor TO their
new Department Commander, Gen. 5. II.
Strattan. The testimonial took the shape
of a reception and large gathering, in
GLIDING members of the Order and the
wives and daughters of the veterans, was
present. John T.. Macham acted as Chair
man, and program of interesting eXer-
clSeS was rendered.
The principal address was delivered by
Gen. II. G.. Dyrenforth, the Commander-in-
Chief of the Order, who spoke at consider
able length. In the course OF his remarks
he said:
II am happy to greet our comrade, Sam
uel Ii. Strattan, as Commander Of the De-
partment Of the Potomac of the glorious
Order Of actual battle men, for | know
that under his guiding hand this Depart
ment will flourish and become one OF the
larger Departments of the Union. But
how does the Union Veterans Union
Il wish it were known by the more graphic
designation of Order Of Union Battle Mem,
how does this Order of energetic de-
by singleness of purpose, the purpose
being solely and alone the interest of the
unity of action. We want to insure Just
attention to the rights of the veteran
Union soldier on the part of those who
can accord these rights, and so we will
make his political life depend upon the
justice OF his action to the soldier. We
have, in no sense, any antagonism to the
Grand Army. We are Grand Army men
for its purposes and Union Veterans
Union men for something more.
''The real foundation of our Order is ex-
pressed in the word comradeship. 1t is
the true, the sincere, the undying senti-
ment OF regard and affection for the men
who stood by our side in battle, who tOiled
with us on the weary and thirsty marches,
who froZe with us in Winter, and who
struggled along with us under burning
sun in Summer, who had but one object,
one thought-final victory for our beloved
country. No man who has not had q
comrade of this kind can have the least
conception of the real feeling which one
comrade has for another. Now and here
after, the comrades of the Union Veterans
Union are one ard indivisible. My friend
shall be thy fried; thine enemy is also
mine enemy"
