extreme. After quarter of a CEN
fury of weakness and agony, Miss
Mack is now entirely free from her
affection and for the benefit of others
she gives the following account of her
cure: 49,.
my illness began Is years ago.
During all that time had to remain
in bed several days out of every week.
l had constant and very severe pain
in my right hip, knee and foot, also in
my right hand; in fact my whole right
side seemed involved. The pain was
so intense that it was almost impossi-
BILE for me to sleep or even to turn
in bed. For periods lasting sometimes
for two weeks l could not cross the
floor and the pain was then indescrib-
able. My mind, too. was nearly dis

seems to me that have lost a lifetime
in such misery.
1T was just about a year ago that
began to use DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. the remedy that final
ly cured me. They were recommend
ed to me by my niece. who had learned
of their worth by personal experience.
took them persistently for four
months in all. At the end of two
months l realized great relief and in
two months more found myself again
a we'll woman and able to take up my
long neglected occupation as a dress
maker. / had been under the care of
physicians for some years and had
used numerous advertised remedies,
but nothing did me any good until
took DR.. Williams Pink Pills. They
have cured me and l recommend them
to all who tell me they suffer as did"
The remedy which affected this re-
cure is a specific not only for
all forms of neuralgia but for other ner-
vous disorders. such as nervous pros
.ration, partial paralysis, st. Vitus
lance. and locomotor ataxia, and for
Ill diseases of the blood, such as an
iemia and rheumatism. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills purify and strengthen the
blood and give new life to every nerve
and organ of the body. They are sold
by all druggists. For further particu-
ars, address the DR.. Williams Medicine
Company, Schenectady. N. Y.

That the several American medicinal
,oots. the concentrated glyceric extracts
NJ which make up DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, have the strongest
lind OF endorsement by scores of lead
inc medical writers of all the several
schools of practice, a brief glance at
the standard works on Materia Medica
will show. OF Golden. Seal root, which
Is one OF the prominent ingredients Of
rGolden Medical Discovery, DR.. Roberts
Bartholow, OF Jefferson Medical Col
lege. says: "Very useful as stom-
achic (stomach) tonic and in atomic
dyspepsia. Cures gastric (stomach)
catarrh and headaches accompanying
same" He also mentions catarrh Of
the gall duct, jaundice and constipa-
ton as diseases which the use of
Golden Seal root overcomes; also
catarrh of the intestines, even when
it has proceeded to liberation, is
remarkably benefited by Hydrastis
Golden Seal root.
DR.. Grover Coe, of New York, says:
rHydrastis Golden Seal root exer-
cises an especial influence over mu-
cons surfaces. Upon the liver it
acts with equal certainty and eff
fcacy. As cholagogue Oliver invig-
orator. it has few equals" DR.. Coe
also advises it for affections of the
spleen and other abdominal viscera
generally, and for scrofulous and gland
Tlar diseases, cutaneons eruptions, in
digestion, debility, chronic diarrhea,
constipation, also in several affections
peculiar to women, and in all chronic
arrangements of the liver; also for
chronic inflammation of bladder, for
which DR.. Coe says "it is one of the
most reliable agents of cure"
Prof. Hobart A. Hare, NJ. D., of the
University of Pa, says of Golden Seal
root that it is uof service in chronic
catarrh of the stomach and bowels,
following abuse of alcohol, and as a
tonic after malarial fever" He further
saws, it rhas a distinct anti malarial
influence" Also good in all catarrhal
conditions, as uterine catarrh, leucor-
rhea, ETC., and as "a curative agent in
chronic dyspepsia"
Prof. Laurence johnson, NJ. D., of
the Medical Department., University
City OF n. Y, is equally loud in his
praise of Golden Seal root, especially
for its tonic effects in convalescence
from acute diseases and its special
tonic influence upon mucous surfaces
and upon the gall bladder.
Doctors Barton and Tully recon-
mended Golden Seal root as a pure
tonic and as an Alternative in dis
pssed conditions Of the mucous mem
branes.
Prof. John King, NJ. D., late of Gin
cinnati, author OF the AMERICAN DIS
PESsAToRY, gives it prominent place
among medicinal agents, reiterates all
the foregoing writers have said about
it, as does also Prof. John NJ. Scudder,
NJ. D., late of Cincinnati. DR.. Scud-
der saws: at stimulates the digestive
processes and increases the assimilation
of food. BY these means the blood is
enriched, the consequent
improvement on the glandular and
nervous systems are natural results"
DIR. Scudder further says, "in relation
to its general. effect upon the system,
there is no medicine IN use about mhich
there is such general mnan'mity of
opinion. 1t is universally regarded as
the tonic, useful in all deblitated
states ~"

RULERS OF THE WORLD.
Meat Eating Nations Are the Leaders
in Every Branch Of Human Achieve
ments, VT.

The ruling nations Of the world are
meat eaters and history records that,
they always have been. ..4.7 -s ....
Vegetarians and food cranks may ex-
plain this in any way they choose. but
the facts remain that the Americans,
English, French, Russians and Ger
mans are meat-eating nations, and
they are also the most energetic and
most progressive.
The principal food of the heroic Boer
soldier. known as Biltong. is sort of
dried beef. affording a great deal Of
nourishment in a highly concentrated
form.
The weak races of people are the rice
eating Chinese, Hindoos, and Siamese,
regarded since the dawn of history as
non progressive. superstitious and in
ferior physically and mentally to the
meat -eating nations who dominate
them.
The structure of the teeth plainly
indicates that human beings should
subsist upon a variety of food, meat,
fruit and grains, and it is unhygienic
to confine ones diet to any one Of those
classes to the exclusion Of another.
Meat is the most concentrated and
most easily digested of foods. but our
manner of living is often SO unnatural
that the digestive organs refuse to
properly digest meat, eggs and similar
nutritious and wholesome food. but 1t
Ia not because such food Is unwhole-
some, but the real reason Is that the
stomach lacks, from disease or weak
ness. some necessary digestive element:
hence arising indigestion and, later on.
chronic dyspepsia.
Nervous people should eat plenty Of
meat, cohvalescents should make meat
the principal food, Woodworking peo-
pie have to do SO, and BRAIN workers
and office men should eat, not SO much
meat, but at least once a day. and to
insure its perfect digestion one or two
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets should
be taken after each meal, because they
supply the peptones. diastase and fruit
acids. lacking in every case of stomach
trouble. =
Nervous dyspepsia, catarrh Of stom-
ach. gastritis. sour stomach. gas and
acidity are only different names for In
digestion. the failure to digest whole
some food, and the use of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets cures them all be-
cause. by affording perfect digestion.
the stomach has a chance to rest and
recover its natural tone and vigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets ID the real
household medicine; It is az safe and
pleasant for the stomach-ache oftthe
baby as it is for the imperfect diges~
ton of its grandsire. 49, ..
They are not a cathartic. but . dis
gestive, and no pill habit can ever fol-
low their use; the only habit Stuarts
Tablets induce IL the habit Of good de
gestion and consequently good health.

A Lenten Attraction.

A The coming engagement at the DAN
willie Theatre is of more than ordinary
interest to theatre goers. inasmuch as
this, being the Lenten season, 1t is
difficult to attract to places of amuse-
ment those who hold strictly to the re-
quisites of their various creeds "A
Royal Slave" is beautiful Christian
story OF Old Mexico, a series of pic
lures Of life in that country of rom
anoe.
Ministers and priests have been
unanimous this season in exhortng
their congregation to go and see the
production of "A Royal Slave" be-
cause it ssvors more of the atmosphere
Of the Chapel than the Theatre. 1t has
not been an uncommon sight during
this Lenten season to see the stage
boxes entirely filled with clergymen Of
all denominations witnessing per
formanoe OF this morally uplifting
drama.
