SINKING SPELLS
ALARMING SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED N
 A SWORN STATEMENT
Mrs. w. 1T. Clark of Rome, V. IT,. Tells W hy She Is Now Recommending a Welt
 known Remedy to Her FIiends-

known Remedy to Her Friends
 Indigestion and stomach trouble have many results that are not al ways readily traced to their real cause Sometimes the kidneys are apparently affected but more often an irregularIry of the hearts action produces far more alarming symptom The cause is easily explained and is removed when the stomach trouble is cured A case in point is that of Mrs w. T. Clark, of SIS West Thomas street Rome, N. Y. She says:
 "To begin with, I had gaStritis. which brought on sinking spells for about an hour every morning I was very weak and nervous and finally was compelled to take to my bed My illness began in the spring of 1SST- and continued for about four months For about half this time I was con fined to my bed. I suffered greatly from the stomach trouble and nerv- ousness, but what alarmed me most was the sinking feeling at the heart
 'T had read about Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and when some of my friends recommended the pills very highly, 1 decided to give IueIu JTldl. DOuSuL Ouc OOA anu by the time this was used up the sinking spells had ceased felr better but continued taking the pills until I had used twelve boxes I still keep the pills in the house for l be- lieve that they are a splendid med icine I always recommend Dr. VII Hams Pink Pills to my friends who are ailing for I know that they VIII do all that is claimed for them Signed, MRS. w. T. CLARK Subscribed and sworn to before me this 9th. day of April, 1900.

THE DEBRIS HORNS.
They Present all the Phenomena of
 Animal and Vegetable Growth.

Animal and Vegetable Growth.
 Why and how is the deer so peculiar iy unlike any other of the bovine race, the horn differing so materially from all the horned cattle in its composition, growth. maturity and decline? 1t pre- senls all the phenomena of animal and vegetable growth. It sprouts from the brain without any prolongation of the frontal bone. It rises and breaks through the sinews and takes root on the bone. growing the same as a vege- table lt is nourished by and secretes albumen upon the surface and disposes of the fihrine the same as an animal.
 It is clothed with a skin and hairy coat very different from that on the rest of the body. This covering and hair possess a property unknown in other animal bodieS-that of being a styptic to stanch its own blood when wounded. It carries marks of the age on the buck by putting out an extra branch each year. which shows an ad- dltlonal power each year to produce them. And this power does not exist in the female. So this difference is more distinctly marked than in any other class of animals Again, the horn possesses properties unknown in any other animal matter. Ii Is entirely in- odorous. capable of resisting putrefac- ton and almost impervious to the eff fects of the atmosphere.
 And still water at 800 degrees F. will dissolve these horns readily. even though they are not soluble in alcohol and resist the action of acids and aka lies, It is the only vegeto animal sub stance that we know of that does not perpetuate itself by prOcreation.
 The male and the female are sustain ed by the same nutrition and elements. and the male only produces horns. This phenomenon is quite as much of a curi osity as the absence of the horn in the buck after shedding.

The British Cabinet.

The authority attached in England to simple custom or usage cannot be better illustrated than in the fact that, although the cabinet has existed as the real ex. ecutive power in the government fol more than a century and half, it is an institution entirely unknown to the law, never having been recognized by any act of parliament. There is no official an nouncement of the names of its members nnd no official record of its meetings.

 Cutting down missiles 10 more 1e- Ieves the land of missiles than does securing the scalp cure dandruf. In each case permanent relief can only come from eradicating permanently the cause. A germ that blows up the scalp in searching for the hair root where it saps the vitality, causes dandruff, falling hair, and badness. If you kill that germ, you'll have no dandruff, but luxuriant suit of hair.

Cochise Review: Up from Yuma has drifted little story about Fred Hughes, who is now free. with 8 parole pardon as a Christmas gift. Fred has considered himself martyr throughout the term of his imprison- meht. Several times he was approach ed with proffer of release if he would only show the proper spirit of repent. ance for his msdeeds. But he would not repent worth a cent. About a year ago at an interview that was to pave the way to pardon for the old pioneer, he became enraged at some thing said by Superintendent Herbert Brown and struck him with the fiat of his hand across the face. Hughes was hustled away at once by the guards, his chances for release gone through his own perversity- It is doubtful if there could be found ten men in the territory who really desired that Fred Hughss should serve out his sentence.
