bright scarlet paper and bearing the

A Strange Custom.
How Centuries ago, St. Vitus' Dance
Derived ats Namo-The Old and New
Way of Treating this Disease.

way OF treating TINS disease.
From Republican Traveller. arkansas city, Kan.
Centuries ago it was believed that by a
pilgrimage to some shrine of st. Vitus, per-
sons afflicted by irregular and uncomfortable
muscular movements could be cured, and
that is how this disease, which usually affects
children between five and fifteen years old,
came to be called St. Vitus' dance.
The modern way to successfully treat this
disease is within reach of every household,
as is shown III the following experience Of
Karl A. Wagner, the eleven. year-old son of
George Wagner, 515 9th ST., Arkansas City,
Kansas.
"Over year ago." says Mr.. Wagner,
"my son began to have twitching in his
right side, which rapidly became worse.
We called in our family physician and he
told us that Karl had St. Vitus' dance. For
over five months he was under the DOCTORS
care and instead Of getting better he con-
tinued to fail.

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
Ia TALK WITH MRS. PrNKHAM.1

A woman with the blues is very un.
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
"the blues" nearly always, with wo.
men, results from diseased organs Of
generation.
It is source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough com.
mon sense. and is the counsel of
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs. F. s. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol.
lowing letter:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for a short time.
that terrible flow stopped.
II am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than I
have had for the past ten years. I
wish to say to oil distressed, suffer
ing women, do not suffer longer. when
there is one so kind and willing to
aid you"

NEW ARTEsIAN WELL BOKER.

Carson Appeal: MIR. G. G. Turner
OF Carson Valley, with Charles Lewis
as a partner, has just returned from
Chicago where he purchased the most
modern and improved artesian well
boring machine that could be had for
money. The machine is on the way
and will arrive most any day and
should prove one OF the most useful
pieces of machinery ever brought to
this section.
The apparatus is guaranteed to bore
a we'll to the depth of 1000 feet and
has a twenty horse power engine with
it and pump which throws a stream
like the "Swift," which is used in dig
ging on the jetting principle.
Three different ways Of boring can
be used jetting or using water, rotary
or twist drilling and standard or
straight drilling or all three can be ap-
piled without changing the machinery.
Any kind Of ground can be worked and
the beauty of the scheme is that it
does not use the old fashioned steel
rods but is operated by cable which
allows the workmen to 20 on with
their work without stopping to raise
several hundred feet of drill rods out
every time they start up.
