"No shade, no shine, no fruit, no flowers, no leaves,-November!" Many Americans would add no freedom from catarrh, which is so aggravated during this month that it becomes constant ly troublesome. There is abundant proof that catarrS is constitutional disease. It is related to 'scrofula and consumption, being one of the wasting diseases. Hoods sarsaparilla has shown that what is capable of eradi- eating scrOfula, completely cures catarrh and taken in time prevents consumption. We cannot see how any sufferer can put off taking this medi- cine, in view of the widely published record of it's radical and permanent cures. It is undoubtedly America's greatest medicine for America's $ great est disease-catarrh.

ALDERMAN FRANK SMITH MEETS WITH A SERIOUS ACCI- DENT WHILE ANSWERING AN ALARM-HIS STORY OF THE EVENTS THAT FOLLOWED.

While on it's way to fire the suddel
 jolting of the hook-and- d-ladder trucl
 threw Fireman Frank Smith from hi
 position on the running board. He struck the pavement head foremost and Was still unconscious when brought to the hospital. It was feared that he had received internal injuries which might prove fatal.
 Smith is stationed at the Central Fire Station, corner Fifth and Valley streets, Burlington, Ia., and in refer. ring to the accident, he said to re porter: My whole system had re- ceived violent shock which affected my nerves .fearfully. The doctor said l had nervous prostration. T would often start trembling out of a troubled sleep, covered with cold perspirati tion, and imagining something horrible was about to happen. There would be times when my whole body would be numb and then again there would be terrible cramps in my limbs.
 For a long time after leaving the hospital l was so weak that I could not walk across the room and my strength steadily refused to return. l could not eat and the tonics and ap- petizers they gave me did me no good. l was too sick to go on duty and the doctor said it would take a long time to recuperate. I was discouraged and disheartened.
 Then a friend persuaded me to take Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo- pie. They gave me strength, quieted my nerves so that could get refresh ing nights sleep, my appetite came back and I soon began to feel better In short time I was cured and now l feel perfectly we'll and strong.'
 Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People have double action-on the blood and on the nerves. It is not claimed that these pills are cure-all, but the very nature of the remedy makes it etficacious in a wider range of diseases than any other. It is a scientific preparation designed to cure disease through a direct action on the blood and nerves.
