RHEUMATISM
Caused by Impure Blood---How
1t May Be Cured.
From the Mfrror, Manchester, Nv. III.

From, the Mirror, Manchester, NJ II.
Rheumatism is caused by the presence
of acid in the blood and the only cure
is to purify and strengthen this vital
fluid. Mrs. s. ID. Loveland, of No. 1873
West Hancock street, Manchester, N.
H., was cured Of a severe attack of
this disease by the use Of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, the best spe-
cific yet discovered for this purpose.
She says:
Several years ago one of my knees
was injured by fall. About the first
of June, 1897, rheumatism set in and
at last got SO bad that could not bend
my knee. It was very painful and l
was unable to move about. / tried va
rious remedies, but not one of them re-
ieved me in any way.
NEARLY three months after the pain
and stiffness began, friend, Mrs.
Rothwen, of Everett, Mass, told mo of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie. I gave them a trial and expert
enced. relief in few days. continued
until I had taken three boxes and was
able to bend the knee and go up and
down stairs without difficulty. have
since taken the pills a number of times
for other troubles and always with
good results.
81 have recommended DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People many times
and two Of my relatives and young
woman living in my family were
greatly benefited by their use. feel
that I cannot say too much in favor Of
the pills"

Kidney Complaints
The Blind Smokers Cigar.

We are often told that a man who Is
smoking in the dark would be unable
to tell whether his cigar were alight or
no unless he could see the red glow at
the end of it. So, too, man with his
eyes shut would have great difficulty
in telling whether he were drinking
port or sherry. Now, as l have been
blind for upward of 80 years am I'M
luckily somewhat fairly qualified to
contest the, validity of this statement.
I was a smoker for 20 years before my
inirmity crept upon me, and am
smoking even now as l dictate this let
ter. In fact, have smoked all my
life.
To say that l do not know whether
my cigar is alight or no because l can
not see either the smoke or the red
glow at the end of the weed Is simply
absurd. The taste alone is sufficient to
tell me accurately. The one is infinitely
pleasurable and Favorable and the 9TH
er exceedingly disagreeable and objec-
tionable. Tongue, palate and odor are
incontrovertible testifiers. l grant that
the pleasure of smoking is lessened by
the absence Of the sight of the smoke,
but only slightly. and to assert that
do not know whether am smoking or
not Is as much as to say l do not know
whether / am standing on my head or
my heels.-Saturday Review.

1t Was a Wonderful Touch.

The late bishop of Louisiana. the
Right Rev. Joseph p. Wilmer, was once
travelling in England with his cousin,
Bishop Richard Wilmer when an Incl
dent occurred which shows Bishop Jo-
seph's readiness in a trying situation.
The two bishops were being entertain
ed by a gentleman who thought his
wife had all the musical talent and &C.
complishment that any human being
can possess. He insisted upon a speci-
men Of her performance. The two
apostolic cousins stood near the piano.
Bishop Richard. recognizing that a
compliment would be necessary and
difficult to make. quietly stepped back.
as most men do on such occasions,
leaving the position of honor to Bishop
Joseph, wondering what the end would
be after 1.-The assault upon the ivory
keys" might suddenly terminate In an
awkward selah. Bishop Joseph. like a
self possessed woman, with dignity
and sweetness of thought. spoke to the
hungry soul Of the adoring husband:
"Is that touch of your wife natural or
acquired?"
"Oh, it is perfectly natural" replied
the delighted spouse.

This his friends had taken care Of for
him until he was once more himself.
He had scarcely related his adventures
and listened to mine when the police
came and arrested him, and two days
later he was tried and convicted of the
charge of raising a false and unneces-
sary alarm and causing the officers Of
the law unusual and unnecessary trou-
ble." This was based upon the fact
that he had not committed suicide, and
he was fined $40. lido not know that
the police would have brought further
charges, but did not wait to give them
a chance. Bidding my companion adieu,
l packed up and crossed the channel
and left them to work 1t out on those
remaining behind. A few weeks later
l heard that the notary was in trouble
but whether because he had notified
Messerve of his misfortune or for
breaking some other article of the code

together for a month when he received
word from his notary one day that he
was financially ruined. l never did
learn the full particulars, but it SEEM

contest passed to another. AS Icons
sole income had been derived from the
revenues of this estate, he was left fiat.
At the time he heard the news he did
not have a hundred dollars in cash.
OF course did my best to console him,
but he was proud and sensitive and
would be under obligations to no man.
After a two hours talk, in which moth

would not accept loan from me, great
or small, he went out without saying
when he would return.
When three days had passed without
Messerve returning or sending word,
