JACK RUr1SEY'S SECRET FOR E.
 CURING SLEEP.

A MISSOURI PACIFIC RAILROAD CON
 TRACTOR TELLS HOW HE PREV ENTs
 THE WRECK OF HIS NERVES.
 A great deal of fatigue and anxiety is housed up in the little red box that swings at the tail end of every freight train and shares in every jolt of the string of heavy cars that precedes it on the rails. The men in it are good, hearty fellows who bear cheerfully the hazards connected with the great prob lem of transportation. They are astir night and day on a vast network of Ghies of tens of thousands of peaceful little homes go with them on their runs. Irregularity in meals and sleep, delays, wrecks, washouts, landslides, ofeakage of machinery, extremes of cold and heat, are few of their dis comforts. The great public, sleeping comp mplacently all night, must nave irs supplies in the morning, and these are the men who must get them through at the cost even of their lives.
 MT Jack Rumsey, of Council Grove, Kansas, is an energetic, frank, goo|'- natured member of this brotherhood and ne bears d load Of worries that al<es it necessary for him to seek hep ar times to keep his excited brain and Eerves from wea ring hin out. He says: "What troubled me most for a long time in my occupation was my i1abl l ity to get sleep when the chance came and most irritating sensiJiveness of my whole nervous system, growing out of the irregularities and anXietieS con- | nected with my daily work. Three or four years ago a clerk in the superin- | tendent'S office of the Missouri Pacific railroad, at Osawatomie, K Ansas, ad- vised me to use Dr Williams Pink | advice and got help right away. Two or three boxes made me perfectly well.
 So 1 keep them on hand all the time and W hen ever the strain begins to tc I | on me 1 take a few doses and they set me all right again. They quiet down my excited nerves and make it possi ole fer me to sleep just like a child. They are mighty good medicine for a rail- road man. That is the absolute truth, as far as my experience goes, and 1 am right glad to recommend them.''
 Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People are unlike other medicines be- cause they act directly on the blood and nerves. This makes them inval- uable in such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effects of the grip, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions and all forms of weakness either in male or female. Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People are sold by all dealers, or will be sent postpaid on receipt of price, fifty cents a box, or six boxes for two dollars and fifty cents, by addressing Dr Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
