To take n bath ut Tifiis is to court
wonderful experience. Abundant
springs Of water strongly impregnated
with sulphureted hydrogen, supply the
building, and in its yaulted chambers,
far below the street. there is no sound
but the splash Of the fountain and the
rolling echo of ones own voice. Henry
Norman gives description of the
inasseur who presides over the bath
and makes its most eccentric feature.
"He is Persian. who speaks but
word or two of Russian. His head is
shaved. a rag is twisted round his
waist, and his feet are dyed orange.
First he rubs you. and then sudden.
ly, as you lie face downward on the
marble slab. he Is upon your back, his
feet dug into your spine, his hands
grasping your shoulders, to increase
the pressure Slowly. with skillful APP
probation Of every muscle, his feet
grind up and down your back. They
encirclc your neck. They are on your
head.
"Then he vaults lightly off, and in a
moment from linen bag filled with
soap he has squeezed clouds of per-
funnel bubbles, and you are hidden in
them from head TO foot as completely
as If you had fallen into a snowdrift.
You are not absolutely bruised, but

Constitutional Amendments.

From Fridays Daily.
A bill by George r. Smith of Mime
apolis, which the house yesterday recon-
mended to pass, is designed to help the
passage of constitutional amendments by
getting them before the people in two
ways.
The attorney general is to prepare
synopsis of the amendments for the use
of the secretary of state, who is to pub
lish them twice in the daily papers at
the capital and in one paper in each
county outside the capital. He is also
to ma Ee them up in pamphlet form in
English, German, Swedish, Norwegian
and other languages, and the books are
to be mailed to the voters of the state.
County auditors must furnish the secre-
tary of state lists of all the voters in
their counties, with address and national
ity of each These are to be used as the
secretary's mailing lists.

OIL DR|LLER'S
PAINFUL M|SHAP
WOMAN RESCUES HIM FROM ALMOST
CERTAIN DEATH.
The Man Was Suddenly Stricken With
Paralysis and Was Unable to Move
Hand or Foot.

Lee F. CIPHER, an oil-well driller,
living at Sistersville, Tyler county, W.
Va, was the victim of terrible mishap
which caused total paralysis of his
legs, arms, face and throat. 1t was DIR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
which cured him and enabled him to re.
sumo his work.
g! might almost as well have been
totally paralyzed,' he says, % for was
unable to move and could swallow only
with the greatest difficulty. 1t was in
February, 1899, after severe attack Of
grip, that l first noticed numbness in
my hands and feet. 1t increased and
l put myself under a physicians care
but, instead of getting better, it grew
worse till l could not walk and was
obliged to take to my bed. / was per.
fectly helpless and, on account of the
paralysis OF my throat, hardly able to
take enough nourishment to sustain
life. Nothing helped me and the out
look was dismal
But Mrs. Smith, of this place, who
had been cured of locomotor ataxia by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, recommended
them to me and began to take them.
In short time could see they were
helping me and continued taking them
till they cured me and was able to re-
turn to work. DIR. Williams Pink Pills
drove every trace of the paralysis out of
my system"
The cure of Mr.. CIPHER is additional
proof that DR.. Williams Pink Pills are
not an ordinary medicine. They are
wonderful in their potency in nervous
troubles, small or great, and as they are
on sale in every drug store throughout
the country they are within reach Of all.
That they could cure such severe ner
vous disorder as that of Mr.. Cypher
proves the power of the remedy in lesser
troubles, such as sciatica, neuralgia,
nervous headache, st. Vitus' dance and
nervous debility.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
are sold by all dealers, or will be sent
postpaid on receipt of price, fifty cents
