The fact that several dollars spent for the
sight medicine has effected cure where
Ski11ed and expensive physician aided by
the latest and most ingenious instrument Of
science, had failed, Is a matter Of much
importance.
Important, because Il opens to downcast
sufferers a new, inexpensive and sure
avenue to the restoration Of health and the
fill enjoyment Of the pleasures Of life.
Such was the experience of Mrs. Ada
n. Herr, of 439 North Charlotte Street,
Lancaster, Pa.
From a weak, nervous, despondins per-
son, she was made a strong, active woman
and cheerful, helpful wife.
Her story Is interesting.
HIS. Herr suffered terribly from female
disorders. Her nerves became unstrung,
cramps griped her and caused the most
intense pain.
So weak and physically demoralized
was she, that the slightest labor wearied
her and household duties were burden.
The most alarming symptoms OF her
malady were the frequent fainting spells
that afflicted her.
In the midst of her work, or In a con-
versation, dizziness would come Upon her
and she would fall PROSTATE in swoon.
She consulted reputable physician. He
diagnosed her case and prescribed the usua1
semedies.
Instead Of improving, she continued to
grow worse the ai1ment that was robbing
hef life Of the joys Of young womanhoo5
became more pronounced. i.

and recedes almost playfully-but all the

and wipe the crimson foam from its jaws

doing ever since the world began.
A man who carelessly saunters along the
shore of the insatiate sea of disease. will
some day encounter a great storm in the
form of some fatal malady and will be en-.
Ru1fed. Because q man does not have to 60
10 bed when he suffers from trivial indi.
gestion, because he does not have 20 give
up work when he gets nervous and csunot
sleep at night. because he can still force
down an unsatisfactory meal when he is
suffering from loss of appetite, because by
strong effort he can add a column of figures
with aching head-is no reason that these
disorders are trifing or to be neglected.
They are the warnings of serious sickness.
A man who promptly heeds them, and re-
sorts to the right remedy, will speedily re.
cover his usual health. The man who neg
1ects them will find that he is in the grip
of consumption, some nervous disorder or
some other dread malady, due to improper
or insufficient nutrition. DR.. Pierce's

RAILROADS NEED MORE
CARS.
They Are Losing Traffic Be-
cause They Cannot Furnish
Them.

Chicago, Nov Is Iron and Steel to-
morrow will say:
Enough is known of the iron and
steel trade for the year 1898 to establish
the fact that production for the year
will exceed anything in history. The
demand from car works is almost pro
digious. Wi hin the past few days fresh
orders for about s 600 cars have been let,
the buyers including the Erie, the
Pennsylvania, the Baltimore & Ohio
AMI several Western systems Most of
this work has been placed with Western
works. The tightnees of the car eitua-
tioa is more severe than expected, and
the carriers are losing traffic in large
volums, because they cannot furnish
care"

No discovery of modern times has proved
such boon to women as Dr.. Williams Pink

theb1ood and nerves, invigorating the body,
regulating the functions, they restore the
strength and health to the exhausted woman
when every effort Of the physician proves
unavai1ing.
These pills are recognized everywhere
as specific for diseases of the blood and
nerves. For paralysis, 1ocomotof ataxia,
and other diseases long supposed incurable,
they have proved their efficacy IN thousands
of cases. Truly they are one Of the greatest
blessings ever bestowed Upon mankind.

reason is that 1t leads to the keeping of
