LEAD MERGER MAY FAIL.
Directors Of United States and Nation.
al Companies Fail to Agree.

New York, July 25. - After the con-
sideration of the proposition for the
merger of the United Lead company
into the National Lead company by
the directors of the latter company,
who held sessions lasting all day Thurs
day and Friday, the deal is no farther
advanced than it was two weeks ago.
In fact, as a result of the delibera-
tions, the merger of the two companies
which has been on several different oc-
casions proposed, may again fall
through. The statement attributed to
President Cole in one of the morning
papers, quoting him as saying that the
plan would in all probability be carried
out, is authoratatively stated to be in
correct. The chief reason for the hitch
in the negotiations is that National
Lead officials think the United proper
ties are overvalued.

in that locality, hut with the growth

Mr.. HAYDEN'S VIEWS.
GIVES HIS OPINION OF THE BEST
TREATMENT FOR PAR
ALYSIS.
Declares That DR.. Williams Pink
Pills Restored the Use of His
Limbs When All other
Remedies Failed.

The pressure of modern life creates
so great strain that few are free
from the dread of using up their sup
ply Of nervous energy and thousands
are already crippled and utterly dis
couraged.
All such will welcome the account
here given of an instance of complete
recovery from a paralytic s helpless
state by simple means within the
reach of every sufferer. 1t is scarcely
necessary to say that a remedy which
will cure an advanced and complicated
case may be employed with still
greater confidence where the premoni
tory symptoms are recognized and
treatment begun at once. These symp.
toms are briefly: Trembling of the
hands; sudden loss of power in arms
or legs, frequently affecting one whole
side of the body; staggering; partial
or entire inability to use the fingers;
distortion of the features, sometimes
an uncomfortable quivering of the
chin; severe pains; difficulty in speech
Frequently the first warning is a
vague feeling of headache, vertigo
and muscular weakness.
In a recent interview Mr.. w. j. l..
Hayden gave the following account of
his own sufferings and cure: 81 truly
think, " said he, "that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are a great medicine for
they cured me when physicians and
other remedies had failed to give me
the slightest relief. / had been giving
too close attention to business, and
overwork brought on an attack of
nervousness which finally developed
into paralysis. There were times when
it was impossible for me to use my
hands or to get up from a chair. At
other times l had partial control of
my limbs, but / was afraid to go far
from the house for fear l might sud.
denly become helpless and have to be
carried home.
"While l was in this miserable con.
dition, l was stricken with malarial
fever and confined to bed for four
months. l had the best physicians
but, while they relieved my fever,
their treatment did not entirely drive
the malaria from my system, and they
did not help my paralysis in the
least.
81 was well nigh despairing of ever
being cured when a friend persuaded
me to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
When l had finished one box I could
see results that encouraged me to buy
second box. My condition kept
steadily improving, and when had
taken seven boxes l was cured of par.
alysis and the malaria was completely
driven out of my system. For two
years now have enjoyed the best of
health and have attended to business
without. any interruption"
Mr.. Hayden's home is at No. 252
West seth street, New York City. DIR,
Williams Pink Pills have cured many
similar cases of paralysis, also loco
motor ataxia. They are sold by all
druggists. Write the DR.. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady, ~.
Y, for details of other cases and for
a valuable booklet on the treatment of
nervous disorders.
