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

The story of the cure of Henry 7.
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 1t 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.
IL heard of Mr.. Lee F. Cypher, of Sis
tersville, n neighboring town in West
Virginia, who had been cured of par-
alysis by DIR. 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. 1t
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. 1 was perfectly helpless.
When was first taken was treated bv
three physicians, one of them a specialist,
but got worse instead of better. I
could both walk and feed myself when
began doctoring with them, but finally
eNANNN hONiiihS lily mead.
The doctors medicine caused my stom-
ach to pain me great DEAL it didn't
help me a bit, and, as 1 said, got dis.
couraged.
Then, after 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 L noticed change for the better.
Now l can walk and get around all
right"
The first symptoms of partial paralysis
are: trembling of the hands, sudden loss
OF power i'll arms or legs, frequently af-
fecting one whole side of the body; stag
gering partial or entire inability to use the
fingers; distortion of the features. some-
times an uncomfortable quivering of the
chin severe pains; difficulty in speech.
Paralysis may be caused by exposure,
emotional influence, venereal excesses
and by other diseases. The approach of
the disease is generally gradual. FIRE.
quently the first warning is vague feel
ing of headache, vertigo and muscular
weakness. The best method of treat
ment is to restore the nutrition and vi
tality of the nerves by using DR.. Viii.
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People.

Speaking of Lincoln's personal habits,

total abstalner from al, liquors, and he
quotes the late Leonard SWEET of Chica-

Hquor in his life. When the committee
TO notify him of his nomination was ex-
lected in Springfield, some of Lincoln's
friends offered TO send some good whis-

Be Sensible.


The only disagrecabe feature of So
called high grade OF civilization is the
absolute disregard of comfort in the way
OF style in dress with both sexes To the
truly artistic eye. however, apparent
comfort on the part of the wearer of any
garment carries with it an attraction
that no so-called style can create. To see
a man wearing coat and vest. a high
collar and starched shirt during these
hot days is not only unbearable to the
man who wears them but it CRATES on
the nerves of sensible people who see
him performing this act of self torture.
The trouble is that the people who
create the summer styles are not the
sensible ones. once in a great while
there will be fad for something that
carries comfort with il but it does not
last long. Even the shirt waist that had
its run for a time carried with it a hard
linen collar and straw hat whose ex-
cellence was measured by its weight.
O, would that some society genius
would start a fad for wearing soft shirts
with soft collars and the old fashioned
broad brimmed hats of " farmer-straw, -
discard the coat and vest and be sensi-

! o'clock Sunday afternoon when John
! Thomas O'Connor, eldest son of Mr. and
| Mrs. John O'Connor. lost his life i'm the
Connecticut river, near the Worden fer
| rN, where he with several Others had
gone to battle. He was 20 years of age.
He had but just gotten into the water,
when he got beyond his depth, and be
/ fore his companions realized he was in
any danger, he sank for the last time
/ The young man was unable to swim
but he made no cutlery and just what
the trouble was Will never be known.
1t is said that he was much heated
when he reached the river. and may
have been seized with a chill or cramp,
but ii is certain that the water is deep
| and the current strong at the place
where the catastrophe occurred and
| hardly safe for expert swimmers. Several
young men were on the river bank, who
had they known there was any trouble
would have rendered assistance.
Mr.. O'Connor graduated from the Hins-
dale High school in June, and delivered
the tree Grafton i'm the class day ex-
ercises. He was young man of ster-
ling character. Although of "A quiet. re-
firing disposition he made many friends
and only good can be said of him. He
was one of the altar boys at St Jo-
seph's church and performed his duties
at the late mass Sunday morning. He
was employed in the Raynsford drug
store.
Many people went to the river as soon
as the news reached the village. and
crowds lined the river bank. while the
search for the body was going on. The
body was not recovered until about
O'Clock Monday afternoon. when it was
found by Garrett Sarsheld of Ashuelot.
a relative of the unfortunate young man.
on or very near the spot where it went
down.
Requiem mass was said at St Jo-
seph's church Wednesday morning when
many sympathiZing friends from the
other societies were present. Mr.
O'Connor's classmates attended in a body
and their deep sorrow at his untimely
death was apparently manifested. Dur
ing the service DIR. VIM. Lahiff of Keene
effectively sang, Lead Kindly Light"
The body was enclosed in a beautiful
white casket, which was covered with
the floral tributes of friends and rea-
tives. Among them were set pieces from
the classmates of the deceased and also
from the members of the High school.
Mr.. O'Connor is survived by his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. John O'Connor. and
one brother William O'Connor. and two
sisters, Misses Molie and Nora. The
burial was in st. Joseph's Catholic GEM
etery.
