A Daug Ilter Saved.
WONDERFUL RECOVERY OF MISS HATTIE KING
Stricken the Bed and upon the Verge Insanity She Finds Remedy when Nppa
had Almost Fled The Best Physicians Failed to do ANYTHING for Her.

'Another bad symptom was cough, which
was so unremitting that it was the general
opinion of our friends that she was consump-
tive: She lost flesh rapidly. Sometimes she
would be confined to the bed for two or
three weeks, then be around again, but only
to suffer relapse.
She was not only a physical wreck, but
her mind was affected, and at times she had
no realization of what she was doing. We
feared, in fact, a complete mental overthrow
ana consequent removal to an asylum, for
although we had two of the best physicians
IN the city, anG had tried several proprietary
medicines, none benefited her.
1--WE had read considerable about Dr..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, and
nag also heard Of some eases where they
had done good and we decided to give them
trial: We purchased some at the drug
store of White & Burdck, of this CITY.
Hattie began to take the pills in the
early part of January Of this year. I'M
proveement was noticeable after the first box
had been taken. The first hopeful sign that
| noticed was that she did not complain Of
gan to abate i'll frequency, and she ceased to
cough. One after another, the distressing
symptoms left her. She took, in all. nina
boxes of the pills. At the present time she
is in perfect health. The alteration in her
mind and body is almost past belief:

PIT AND THE PENDULUM
r
A Prisoner Waiting to be
. Hacked by Times
Scythe.
ONE MINUTE OF LIFE LEFT
Thousands Whose Situations
Are Scarcely Less Terrible
May Easily and Readily
Find Help.

A man lies fat on his back, bound so
that he cannot move an inch. He is
in a dungeon, at first dark as well, but
in few minutes a light in the ceiling,
far up, shows a mechanical figure OF
Time with his scythe. The figure de-
sends slowly, the scythe swings, and the
prisoner realizes that unless some un-
expected help should come, he will be
slowly cut to pieces What followed is
told by Edgar Allen Poe in the fantastic
story called The Pit and the Pendulum. !"
The man waiting the approach of a
dreadful death is.a type OF a large class
of unfortunates who, entangled in the
strang]ing coils Of an octopus, have lost
all hope OF freedom. This monster is
morphine. Perhaps the victim is yet
reveling IN that glorious state OF ex-
liberation which follows the first use of
the drug. 1fso. like the man in Poes
story, he has not noticed the light IN the
ceiling and is unaware OF his danger.
Maybe the disease has progressed so far
that the sufferer notices a weakness of
the hearts action, that the general
health is feeble, the body poorly nour-
ished. the sight double. This is soon
followed by a peculiar twitching OF the
muscles, numbness Of the hands and
feet and the utter collapse of the ner-
vous system. The victim now becomes
restless and uneasy. A feeling OF des-
pondency seizes him. This mental de-
preston increases as one course OF treat
mont after another fails utterly. The
future is dark and filled with gloom.
Days OF vretcedness follow nights OF
horror in endless procession. His utter
helplessness to rid himself of the incubus
adds to his misery. The terrible effects
OF the deadly drug become more and
more apparent. Deeper and deeper he
sinks into the mire OF despair, until all
hope of ever being anything but a slave
in bondage is abandoned. Remorse and
apprehension take possession OF his
1Llho1 UuC " eIlu his
miserable existence becomes almost over
powering.
But there are few situations completely
hopeless. Poe's prisoner was rescued
when the swing soy the was close to his
breast, and the victims of the Morphine
habit and their shattered nerves are re-
stored to the enjoyment Of life by a sys-
TEN Of treatment which has been per-

1t is as harmless as it is painless. 1t

Hattie is now seventeen years old. A

Of dizziness, which became gradually worse.
She suffered excessive nausea and attacks OF
vomiting: There were days when she could

also was troubled with kidney disease. Her
