RESULT OF A FALL
SAN FRANCISCO ATTORNEY STRICK.
EN- WITH PARALYSIS
Shock to the System Brings on Nervous
PrOstratiOn-HOw a Cure was
Effected.

1t is doubtful if anything could be
written more convincing than the in
teresting story related by Mr.. Edward
T. Dudley, a practicing attorney for
twenty-five years in San Francisco,
with offices at SO City Hall avenue.
Mr.. Dudley lost his balance while
standing upon the rear platform of a
street car, causing him to fall, strik-
ing the ground with the back of his
head, which brought on a feeling of
numbness and eventually paralysis.
Mr.. Dudley tells his experience in his
own way as follows:
after the fall from the car passed
it by as an accident that had left no
apparent i'll effects; yet a few weeks
later, could not raise my foot. From
this time paralysis began in my feet
and in time my lower limbs became
numb. 1 became pale as a ghost and
it brought on a bloodless condition of
my system. From being a strong,
healthy man of $50 pounds, l was re-
duced to 145 pounds, and my doctor
told my wife that ii was only a ques-
ton of time when I should have to
take to my bed. Medicine prescribed
by the doctors did no good, and, at the
time I started to take DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, if I fell
down could not possibly get up again
unassisted. I could scarcely walk a
block Now I can walk three or four
miles without fatigue, and as you see,
am altogether different man-and all
from eight or nine boxes of DR.. Will
Iiams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
after trying DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, could see in very short time
that I was picking up color and my
health and general system was much
improved I did not change my diet
nor did 1 take any other medicine, and
my increase in weight was from 145
to 1876 pounds can lay to nothing else
than DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People.

BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION,

The skin is the seat of an almost end
less variety of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have smooth, soft skin, free from
all Nruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations of
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for short time, but cannot remove per-
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
disfpurirp pirnples.

FOUND A NEGRO HID
UNDER BED IN ROOM
Cltizenl Had Desperate Encounter
Yesterday.
THIEF PUTS UP PLUCKY FIGHT.
Finally Dashing Through Window
and Making Escape = Presence in
Room Is Detected By Stencil = Of
fcers on Lookout for Suspect.

A plucky citizen and a daring black
burglar engaged IL desperate hand
to hand encounter yesterday morning,
each graphing the other and perhaps
expecting death momentarily.
The fearful episode took place at the
residence of Mr.. Charles Underwood
at 526 Lamar street.
The negro was pulled from under
the bed and, finding escape cut off as
he supposed, turned upon Mr.. Under
wood who had seized him.
For several minutes the two men
were engaged in combat, the negro
making desperate effort to escape,
while Mr.. Underwood was trying to
hold him until help arrived or he
could secure some weapon.
In the struggle the negro's shirt was
nearly torn from him.
Making desperate effort, the bur-
glar freed himself from Mr.. Under
woods clutches, and dashing through
an open window, reached the street.
This was not done, however, before
Underwood clearly recognized him,
and he with several of his friends, kept
up d1lligent search for the burglar.
As he is well known his capture is q
matter Of time only.
1t SAID that the presence of the
negro in the room was detected by the
uDmistakable "odour de Antique" which
literally filed the premises.
