GREAT POWER
When Regular Medical Treatment
Failed, Dr.. Williams Pink Pills
Cured Her Rheumatism.

Hundreds of people afflicted with rhcu-
matism have spent years under the care
of excellent physicians i'll vain. Then
they have settled down to the conviction
that it is fastened Oh them for life. Mrs.
Dinsmore was not willing to join the
ranks of the hopeless merely because her
doctor did not know how to help her.
Here is her story:
"Four years ago I suffered greatly
with rheumatism in my hands and
knees. After had been sitting while
my limbs seemed SO heavy could hardly
walk on the first attempt. So long rs
kept moving was all right, but just as
soon as stopped. something seemed to
settle in my knees and make them ache.
Ny hands We're so bad couldn't touch
the palms of them on a flat surface; they
were swollen and panied so."
"Did you call III II physician!"
"I doctorcd steadily for over q year !;
then ono doctor said: You have taken
medicine strong enough to kill almost
anything Still, it did not kill me nor
the rheumatism"
"lIow, then. did you get rid Of ?"
"At different times l had read in varl-
GUS publications about DR.. Williams
wonderful Pink Pills for Pale People,
and finally decided to try them. took
them steadily for four months i'll nc
cordance with the directions. By that
time l was completely cured
Have you been free from it ever
since?'
"Since then have had but one slight
return Of my trouble, and box or two of
the same pills made me all right again. "
Mrs. L. A. Dinsmore lives in hearty
enjoyment OF her recovered health at
Woburn, Mass, entirely freed from the
grave anxieties that rheumatism always
brings. When it appears in but a single
joint it shows that the blood is i'll faulty
state i'll the whole body. 1t may at any
moment break out elsewhere, and one of
the dangers is that it may break out in
the heart and then the result must be
fatal. The only security is to keep the
blood all the time i'll u perfectly sound
condition.

why DOCTORS FAIL
AND MRS. PINKRAM SUCCEEDS
Plain Reasons Are Here Given to Explain
Why Lydia {. Pinkham's Vegetable Gem
pound Cures When Doctors Are POwerIess

Awomanis sick; some disease peculiar
to her sex is fast developing in her sys-
tenn. She goes to her family physician
and tells him story, but not the whole
story.
She holds something back, loses her
head, becomes agitated, fOrgets what
she wants to say, and finally conceals
what she ought to have told, and thus
completely mystifes the doctor.
Is it any wonder, therefore, that the
doctors fail to cure the disease? Still
we cannot blame the woman, for it is
very embarrassing to detail some Of the
symptoms of her suffering, even to her
family physician.
1t was for this reason that years ago
Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, de-
termined to step in and help her sex.
Having had considerable experience in
treating female ills with her Vegetable
Compound, she encouraged the women
of America to write to her for advice in
regard to their complaints, and being
woman, it was easy for her ailing sis
ters to pour into her ears every detail
of their suffering.
In this way she was able to Go for
them what the physicians were unable
to do, simply because she had the
proper information to work upon, and
from the little group of women who
sought her advice years ago great
army of her fellow-beings are to-day
constantly applying for advice and re-
lief, and the fact that many thou
sands of them have been cured by
following the advice of Mrs. Pinkham
during the last year is indicative of the
grand results which are produced by
her unequaled experience and training.
No physician in the world has had
such a training, or has such an amount
of information at hand to assist in the
treatment of all kinds of female ills,
from the simplest local irritation to
the most complicated womb diseases,
This, therefore, is the reason why
Mrs. Pinkham, in her laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, is able to do more for the
ailing women of America than the
family physician. Any woman, there
fore, is responsible for her own suffer
ing who will not take the trouble to
write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
The testimonials which we are con-
stantly publishing from grateful wo-
men establish beyond a doubt the
power of Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound to conquer female diseases.

MUCH INTEREST
IN THE REVIVAL
LARGE CONGREGATIONS FILL AU-
DIToRIUM OF PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH AT ALL SER
VICES.

The meeting at the Presbyterian
church continues to grow in interest
as evidenced by the large congrega
tions that fill the auditorium botn
morning anG evening.
Mr.. Black is now thoroughly in
touch with his audiences, and you dc
rot have to study his methods long to
understand how this has been accom-
plished 1t is not done by the trick OF
the orator, but by the wonderful sim
rl!city and earnestness of the man. 1t
is gospel preaching anG not acting;
nature and not art. His sermons are
replete with illustrations. not anec-
dotes, and these are drawn from every
day life in a way that appeals to his
hearers.
Mr.. Black makes no sort of effort
at display, yet through the threads OF
his sermons you can occasionally see
the wool of a real poetic coloring. 1t
would not be just to Mr.. Black to say
that he is not emotional, for he is; yet
he plays upon the feelings with a gen.
tie touch of a masters hand, and the
chords of harmony are never strained.
Mr. Black gives up large part o,
his time to song service, conducted by
a select choir, which leads the congce-
cation, in simple gospel hymns. and
does not monopoliZe the singing. Such
hearty spontaneous singing has never
been heard in Pensacola before. An
solo or duet comes into the
and gives variety.
Mr.. Burr a Canadian singer, accom-
Danies Mr.. Black on his trip, and sings
at each service
No one can attend these services
being better fitted FOR the du-
ties of every day life, and having high
er aspirations for the future.

STEAMER CAUGHT
IN THE BLIZZARD
comANcHE HAD A ROUGH EX-
FERENCE EN- ROUTE FROM
JACKSONVILLE TO NEW
YORK.

From the accounts published in the
New York newspapers the Clyde Lire
steamship Comanche, which sailed
from Jacksonville last Sunday, had a
rough experience during the blizzard
last Wednesday. The New York Her
aid of Friday gives the following &C
count of the Comanche's experience:
THE Comanche, of the Clyde Line
came in from Jacksonville with decks
a mass of ice, piled high and ribbed,
as is the sand along the beach. Cap
tain Watson said that his vessel was
off the Delaware capes when the bliz-
gard came rioting out to sea. Tie
gale was so furious that the vessel
was unable to make any Roadway,
and for the next twelve hours she re-
NAMED hove-to under steam, her bow
pointed to the seas, and pitching so
wildly that it seemed as If she would
Jump her spars out. The City Of Co
lumbus, from Savannah, and the Old
Dominion Liner Monroe. from Norfolk,
had similar experiences
That other vessels had still more
disagreeable experiences, will be seen
from the following:
"Freighted with ice and battered by
many seas, several vessels Of the be-
lated fleet of incomers reached barber
yesterday.
"All had had trying times with -ae
blizzard, the snow making it so thick
that it was necessary to keep Jog sig
nails constantly going, while spray
driving with the snow dashed the leap
ing vessels until they were enCrusted
with ice from end to end.
THE turmoil so wrought upon the
passengers of the Alliance, which ar
rived from Colon, that religious ser
vice was held on board, the vOyagers
gathering in the saloon at the height
of the storm to sing some hymns.
The passengers said yesterday that
the prayers were not for their own
safety, of which they had felt assured,
but for the safety of those worse sit
uated than themselves.
The officers were not quite so sure
there was no peril in the situation.
Captain Shilling said it was the worst
experience he had ever had. 1t was
off Barnegat, where the vessel caught
an eighty-mile an hour gale from the
northwest and which sheaTed the
steamship a full fifty miles from her
course before it was DONE"

A Fall and % Lesson.

An E; glish gentleman travelling
some yeas ago in Ireland took a ham,
mer and Jacks along with him because
he found dogs cared carpets at al the
inns whore he rested. At one Of these
inns he tackled down the carpCt-. which,
as usual, was loose near the E0or, and
soon Gfterward rang the bell for his
dinner. While the carpet was loose
the door could not be opened without
a hard push. so when the waiter came
up he just unattached the door; then,
going back a couple of yards, he rush,
ed against 1t. as his habit was, with
a sudden spring to force 1t open. But
the wrinkles Of the carpet were no
longer there to stop it, and. not meet
ing with the expected resistance, the
waiter fell full length into the room.
1t had never entered his head that so
much trouble might be saved by means
of a hammer and a dozen or eveI, half
a dozen tacks until his fall taught him
that makeshift is a very Improbable
sort Of shift.
