A NEW DISCOVERY
Made by Man in allegheny. Pennsylvania.
George ID. Eldridge Finds Something
Which Many Consider to be Better Than
GOld-His Statement.

Made by Man in allegheny, Pennsylvania.
George ID. Eldridge Finds Something
Which Many Consider to be Better Than
Gold-His Statement.
There is much talk in the town of Allie
gheny, Pa. over the discovery made by Mr..
George C. Eldridge of that place. After
long search he has found something better
than gold. In a recent interview he says:
Eyes, have made what | consider to be
an important discovery. To tell you about
it l must start at the beginning.
''That was number of years ago" he
continued. 'sThe nature of my work forced
me to be very irregular with my meals and
that, together with a general misuse of my
stomach, brought on nervous dyspepsia.
NV trouble commenced with blOating con-
Stipation and this was accompanied with
pain in the back and stomach. | suffered
with ShortneSS of breath and palpltatlon OF
the heart, sleepleSSneSS and an absolutely
miserable feeling at all times. About three
years ago / had a attack which confined me
to my bed for three weeks, and times with
out number after that was obliged to give
up. My kidneys also became affected and
caused me considerable trouble.
''Four different doctors attempted to cure
me but they gave me only temporary relief:
! became utterly discouraged. Then tried
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People:
Relief came in about a week and at the end
of four months | was entirely we'll
81 can only say that | believe | owe my
life to DR.. Williams Pink Pills and can
find no words to express my thanks for
what they have done for me. Better than
gold is but mild praise for them. Every
body who knows me remarks the wonderful
change. | can eat anything now, sleep like
child and do my work with ease. | do
not need medicine any more although ] al
ways keep Dr., Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People on hand"
Mr.. Eldridge lives at No. 30 Carroll
street, and is but one of thousands who al
ways speak of Dr.. Williams Pink Pills in
| the highest terms OF praise. They know
what this remedy will do, for they have
used it, 1t acts directly on the blood and
nerves. This makes these pills invaluable
not only for stomach trouble but also for
such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial
! paralysis, ST. Nitus dance, sciatca, neural
gea, rheumatism, nervous headache, the
after effects of the grip. papitation of the
| heart, pale aud salloW compilations and all

DEATH OF TORTURE.
Awful Agony Suffered by Those Who
Kill Themselves With
Carbolic Acid.
Physicians Say Those Who Die So,
Do Not Know the Agony
the Drug Causes.

!, The frequency with which suicides by
the use of carbolic acid are committed
raises the uestion, why such horrible
means Of ending ones existence is chosen
by unfortunates. Physicians give the an
swer. They say that ignorance Of the
frightful agony which follows, combined
with the fact that it is in majority of
cases a sure and ready agent of self de-
structiOn, is responsible.
Said DR.. A. J. Murdoch: ,.
1.-THE cousin OF the woman who just
! went out committed suicide by bringing
carbolic acid. I cannot :mma CINE & more
| agonizing form of death than that which
ensues from taking carbolic acid. The
suffepings Of tn victim are acute, and in
the period of consciousness which gener-
ally follows the drinking of the drug, the
! unfortunate must suffer excruciating
torture. The sensation of drinking car
bolic acid is practically that of burning.
The effect is about the same as sticking a
red hot poker down one rs throat would
be. The tissues attacked are readily
eaten up and one can well imagine what
fearful suffering is entailed. = #g
1T is my opinion that few who take
their lives in this way are aware of the
agony to which they will be subjected be-
fore the end comes. 81 .-
DR.. J. w. Mcdonald lid that in addi-
ton to it's corroding effect on the tissues
Of the throat and stomach, acarbOlic acid
also had strong toxic effect and that 1t
afforded the avenue to about as horrible
death as the mind could contemplate.
1T is my belief" said he, that most
persons who choose carbolic are insane.
Otherwise they would certainly elect a
more peaceful DEATH. Ignorance Of the
agony will ensue is no doubt responsible
for many cases of elf-destructiOn."

AHEAD OF ENGLAND

J. Comont, representing James Carter
Dunnett & Beale, one of the largest seed
firms in the world, Is at the West Hotel.
"Speaking Of Seed" said MIR. Comont,
reminds me that in that respect, as In
most other commercial lines, the United
States has at last outstripped England. 1t
is only a few years since the United States
occupied an insignificant position in the
seed business as compared with England,
but this country has gone ahead with
giant strides, even in that line.
ut is scarcely huniliating for me to
make such an. admission. We feel that
America from her very resourcefulness
must in time lead the, world: in al
branches Of commerce. There is every
thing here in this land framed in the
prodigality Of nature to facilitate and en-

much ratification to all right thinking

state married. Afterwards, with his wife,

Until recently, however, she never claimed
this privilege.

ST. PAUL MERCHANDISE
State Board Of Equalization May Raise
Figures OF City and County
Assoseor tr'

1t is probable that the state board of
equalization will raise the assessment on
St. Paul merchandise which, members
of the state board say, has been assessed
too low by the city and county assessor.
In Hennepin county, merchandise has
been returned at $5,1S7,707, an increase
of s10S,000 over last years figures; while
personal property is placed at s26, 1877 DAB,
an advance of not quite 1000, 600.
In st. Paul, however, the figures given
by the local assessor fail to reach those
of last year. This is particularly true
in the wholesale districts. ~
