PARTIAL PARALYSIS
Still Another Case Cured by DR..
Williams Pink Pills.

The story of the cure of Henry J.
Hubbard, of Wittens, Ohio, from paraly-
sis, will bring hope to others afflicted as
he was. He was helpless and utterly
discouraged. He had been getting
worse and worse, month by month.
First it made him unable to work, then
he could not walk, then he could not
even raise hand to feed himself he
could not move any part of his body ex-
cept his head.
"Iheard of Mr.. Lee F. CIPHER, of Sis
tersville, a neighboring town in West
Virginia, who had been cured of par.
alysis by DR.. VILLAINS Pink Pills
for Pale People," says Mr.. Hubbard
IN telling the story of his cure, "and
my son took me over to see him. tt
gave me new courage to hear him
tell how easily he found relief, for I
had given up hope of ever being able to
move again. / was perfectly helpless.
When was first taken I was treated bv
three physicians, one of them specialist,
but [ got worse instead Of better. I
could both walk and feed myself when
began doctoring with them, but finally
l could move nothing except my head.
The doctors medicine caused my stom-
ach to pain me great deal; it didn't
help me bit, and, as I said, got dis
couraged.
"Then, after I saw Mr.. CIPHER, and
he told me that DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People had accomplished such
wonderful cure in his case, decided
to take this remedy myself. In about
three weeks after beginning with the
pills noticed a change for the better

The first symptoms of partial paralysis
are: trembling of the hands: sudden loss
OF power in arms Or legs, frequently af-
fectlng one whole side of the body; stag
gerlng;partial or entire inability to use the
fingers; distortion of the features, some
times an uncomfortable quivering of the

Paralysis may be caused by exposure,
enloCional influence, venereal excuses
ana by other diseases. The approach Of
the disease is generally gradual. FIRE.

weakness. The best method of treat

Inc AooAs Ok the ESyptldnAs
The ancient Egyptians had tools for
stone working equal to anything in use
today. They used both solid and tubu-
lar drills and straight and circular
saws. The drills were set with jewels,
probably corundum, and even lathe
tools had such cutting edges. So re-
markable was the quality of the tubu-
lar drills, it is said, and the skill of
the workmen that the cutting marks
in the hard granite give no indication
OF the wear of the tool, while cut of
a tenth part Of an inch was made in
the hardest rock at each revolution,
and hole through both the hardest
and softest material was bored perfect
ly smooth and uniform throughout. OF
the material and method of making the
tools nothing is known.

years of age, after an illness of several
weeks from heart trouble. Mr.. Cur

early years he worked for while at

but more than fifty years ago he return

Hebron where he has since lived. de

Jan. %, aged 81 years, months, Is days.
On the previous Sunday he went to the
Mt. Cutler House, to aid in arrangements
for a Masonic funeral, and was suddenly
seized with an illness resulting from
chronic disease of the bowels that has
afflicted him since the war, and was
carried to his residence to die. He was
a native of Old Town, Maine.
In 1861 he recruited Co. A, Sth Maine
Regiment, and was elected captain, and
later commissioned lieutenant-co colonel
aud for some months commanded the
regiment. At length he resigned, and
recruited company for the Second
Maine Cavalry, and went to the front as
captain, and was promoted to the rank
of major. He was reported as brave
and accomplished officer.
After the war he resided at Midway
Me-, serving as selectman, school com
mittee, and trial justice. He was promi
nent in political and Masonic circles
and was a surveyor for leading dealers
| in land and lumber. In 1871 he married
Miss Carrie L. Clemens, of South Molun
kus. Maine, who survives him, as alst
two sons, and three daughters. In 1881
he made trip to California, and returned
and settled on farm in Hiram. AT hi

Presentation to Capt. Bolster

An innocent little paragraph which ap
peared in the last Democrat announced
that the ladies of the Relief Corps invit
ed the members of VIM. K. Kimball
Post to meet with them at G. A. r. Hal
Wednesday evening. A social evening,
apparently, and so it fully proved. The
chatting dish was brought into play, and
Welsh rarebit, coffee and cake were
served.
There was, however, a special feature
to the evening, as appeared when sort
of informal court martial was opened,
and Capt. III. n. Bolster was brought
forward as the prisoner. while Hon.
George A. Wilson addressed the court.
AS Judge Wilson proceeded in well,
chosen language it became evident
everybody but Capt. Bolster already
knew it-that the object was not to re-
duce the prisoners rank, but to do him
honor. Capt. Bolster has from the
organization of the post taken a lively
interest in its welfare. For many years
he has served as adjutant, and has re-
fused any compensation, even tor the
postage used The comrades have felt
that he should have some testimonial OF
their appreciation, and this was the oc-
casion for presenting 1t.
At the proper time the gift, which
had been standing on table covered
with flag, was unveiled, and hand
some lamp was revealed. Here little
laugh on Judge Wilson came in. With
the memory of certain direct and ap,
propriate references which he had made
in his remarks undoubtedly fresh in his
mind, he looked the lamp all over care,
fully, and exclaimed, "They told me it
was clock!'
Capt. Bolster, too, was unquestionably
surprised. He had been at work hard
during the day, and felt too tired to at
tend the evenings festivities; and it was
only on the assurance that his presence
was specially desired that he was got
out. Still, he is rarely taken at such
disadvantage as to be at loss for words
and he responded with much feeling. II
was very pleasant occasion in all re

We heard a man say the other morn,
ing that the abbreviation for February
Feb, means Freeze every body, and that
man looked frozen in his ulster. 1t was
apparent that he needed the kind OF
warmth that stays, the warmth that
reaches from head to foot, all over the
body. We could have told him from
personal knowledge that Hoods Sarsa

vigorates the blood and speeds it alons

ioy cold weather and resist the attack
