An Alarming Case
SEVERE TEST OF A BLOOD REME
 DY IN ERYslPELAS.

DIR WILLIAMS PINK PILLS BANIsH PAIN
 AND INFLAMMATION AND AVERT
 PERIL FROM THE VITAL ORGANS.
 Erysipelas or St Anthony's fire is a most uncomfortable disease on account of the burning, the pain and the dis hgurement and is attended always by the danger of involving vital organs.
 The case which follows will be read it affected the whole body, and refus- ed to yield to the remedies prescribed by the physician employed. The vic- tim, Mrs Ida A. Goliath, of No. 19 Winter street, Newburyport, Mass. :, was in fact completely discouraged when she began the course of treat ment which led to her recovery.
 s'In June of 19O3," she says, 1T was taken ill with what at first appeared to be a fever. sent for a physician who said was threatened with a dan gerous and lingering sickness. He prescribed for me but his medicine had no perceptible effect. One day he pro- nounced my disease chronic erysipelas and said it would be long time before l would be up and around.
 Inflammation began on my face and spread all over my body. My eyes were swollen and seemed bulging out of their sockets. I was in a terrible plight and suffered the most intense pain throughout my body.
 1.-The doctor said my case was very severe one. Under his treatment, however, the inflammation did not diminish and the pains which shot through my body increased in severity. After being confined to bed for two months under his care, without any improvement, I decided to get along for time at least without any physi- clan.
 IA few days after I had discontinu- ed the services of a physician, a friend froa from Maine whs whG was 9 ny vsiting me- Pink Pills for Pale People and, on her advice, bought box, but with little confidence that they could help me when a doctor had failed to do any good.
 "I began to take the pills, however, two at dose three times a day. At ter the second box had been used I was surprised to notice that the in- dammation was going down and that the pains which used to cause me such agony had disappeared. After using six boxes of the pills I was up and around the house and attending to my household duties as we'll as ever. I am profoundly thankful that Dr Will liams' Pink Pills were ever brought to my attention and am always ready to tell any one what they have done for me-"
 Dr Williams Pink Pills cure all dis eases springing from an impoverished or vitiated condition of the blood, such as an@mia, rheumatism, ,scrofula. They make pale complexions ruddy and are the best of tonics in all cases of debili- ty. They are especially helpful to women whose health is so closely de- pendent on the state of the blood. They are sold by all druggists through out the world.

BRIGHTER THAN
1T WAS YEAR AGO
Dunn's Trade Review Comments on
improving Conditions at
First of Month.

New York, Oct. 1-R. G. Dun in
his weekly review of trade, says:
The last quarter of 1904 opens with
much brighter prospects than prevail
ed a year ago. At that time securities
had fallen on an average of $34 a
share from the top point OF the year
previous. and there was a general dis
position TO curtail manufacturing and
commercial operations because Of the
heavy losses. The nation was enter
ing on a period of conservatism, aug
mented by numerous LABOR controver-
sizes.
At the present time there are no
alarming features, strikes are few and
unimportant. while indications of grow
ing confidence are numerous. Bus
mess does not show the hesitation
customary during the closing weeks Of
a presidential campaign, and the pros
pect of profitable agricultural results
stimulates trade especially among re
tailers west and south.
Building operations are expanding,
providing a better demand for lumber
and materials Clothing and kindred
lines are stimulated by colder weather
and clearance sales are well attended
Manufacturing plants are decreasing
the proportion of idie machinery
Railway earnings Tor September eX
ceeded last years by G.5 per cent
Foreign commerce al this port for the
last week showed a small decrease in
exports and a gain of $2.153,346 il
| imports as compared with 1903. The
| security markets have risen $14 above

money is easy and abundant.
With the exception of steel rails
which are not on parity with the rest

have apparently attained a position OF
stability and tardy contracts are grad
ually coming forward.

JURY FREES CASHIER BUTLER
Official of Defunct Lockport Bank Ac-
quilted After Long DeIberation.

Joliet. Ill, Oct. IA. H. Butler,
former cashier of the defuuct EN-
change bank at Lockport, was acquit-
ted yesterday.
The trial was notable from the fact
that the defense offered no testimony,
relying solely on legal arguments. The
charge against Butler was that he
had received deposits, knowing the
bank to be insolvent, and it was
proved that both Butler and the presi-
dent of the concern, c. H. Bacon, had
speculated with the banks funds on
the Chicago Board OF Trade.
There are other indictments against
both men, but it is believed now that
convictions are improbable. The bank,
which had 400 depositors. failed year
ago for $4,000 to $4,000. One divi-
dend of % per cent has been declared
by the receiver.
