A PUzzLINC CASE
That Has Attracted Widespread
Attention in Medical Circles.
From the Item. LINN. Mass.

Thousands of dollars have been
spent in doctors bills by those afflict-
ed with epilepsy and, very frequently,
it has been in vain. 1t so often
happens that the doctors do not
strike at the root of the trouble. A
cure which was easily effected, after
physicians had failed to accomplish
any permanent results, is that of Miss
Annie r. Herbert, of No. 507 West
ern avenue, Lynn, Mass. After years
of suffering from this terrible affiic-
ton she was made we'll by the use of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie. She makes the following state
ment:

physicians of Lynn treated me at
different times but none succeeded in
helping my case. have even been

clans there failed to cure me, so you
can see it was disease that puzzled
good many doctors.
my illness at times caused racking
headaches and an awful dizziness

doctors called spasms of the nerves
about four times a day. The blood
would rush to my head and feeling
come over me so that wouldn't
know what was going on around me.
The spasms left me very weak.
During one year had eight epileptic
fits.

doctors had proved in vain tried DR..

REPORT ON TRADE.

Bradstreet's report on trade for last
week is as follows:
Some quieting down in the general
demand for merchandise was noted
last week, partly the result of weather
conditions-rain in the northwest and
warmer weather at the west, while at
the south the restricted movement of
cotton delayed collections at several
markets. The lull in the demand for
dry goods, clothing and shoes from
western jobbers is, however, not unex-
pected, being accounted for by the ad-
vanced stage of the season.
Hardware is steady at nearly all mar
kets, and supplies are generally limited.
Some weakness in nails is noted at the
east, Notwithstanding active demand,
but at the west wire mills are behind
on orders. Special activity in lead and
zinc is noted at western primary
points. Copper is in hand to mouth
demand here, but it is to be noted that
spot prices have advanced at London.
Tin is higher here, in sympathy with
the speculative advance at the same
market.
Among cereal products the feature is
the active demand for -four at higher
prices. Wheat is a fraction higher on
the week, on belief that following the
recent decline caused by the heavily in
creased movement at the northwest
and the gain in visible supply reaction
Is due.
Wheat. including -four, exports for
/ textile mills were built, of which 147
Wheat exports, July 1 to date (1f
weeks), aggregate S9,96S,17S bushels,
as against 50,458, 240 last season.
The boot, shoe, leather and kindred
industries are all active, and eastern
shoe shipments are IA per cent larger
for the season than a year ago. The
strength of hides and recent advance
in leather have been still further mar
rowing the margin of profit in shoe
manufacturing.
Failures in the United States for the
week number 1873, as against 175 last
week, 21O in this week year ago, 164
in 1899 and 233 in 1898.
Canadian failures number 80 as
against 20 last week, SO in this week q

A New Postage Ruling.

Amigo Weekly News Item.
The government postal authorities
have notified postmasters throughout
the country of a new rule which will
be strictly enforced hereafter, and
which will be especially important TO
be noticed during the holiday season
when a great deal of second and third
class mail matter is being sent through
the postotfice. The rule says that the
writing of anything on a package ex-
cepting the address makes it tirst-class
matter and the regular rate of 2 cents
an ounce will then be charged. 1t is
usually the custom for people when
sending package which will come
under the head of third-class matter,
for instance to write on the outside a
word telling the content, such as
''books'' or ''photograp hs, but if this
is done now the extra postage will be
collected.
