ON A COT
Miss Isabel WhitbY Brought Home
Her Condition Slightly Better.

Miss Isabel Whitby, 'o4 OAC,
who underwent a severe surgical
operation in a Portland hospital
some time ago, was brought up
from Portland Wednesday evening,
and taken out to the family home
yesterday morning. The trip, both
from Portland to Corvallis and from
here to the country was made in a
cot, under trying circumstances.
The patient is making a heroic
struggle for life, and in her case SO
far it is a triumph of mind over
matter. At the time of the opera
ton, the surgeon thought she could
not survive the chloroform. Then
it was thought that she could not
last "a hours. Then a limit of four
days was set as the longest possible
time she could live.
With great patience and a sur
prising vitality, how.ver, the pa
tient has battled against her malady
! and when she left for her home in
the country yesterday morning. she
was brighter than at any time since
the operation. Her physicians are
still without hope of final recovery,
but in the presence of improvement
already made, themother is still full
of hope that the mind will triumph
over matter and that the end will,
be a recovery. Many friends
throughout Benton as well as else
where, hope with her that there
may be a favorable outcome to the
case.

DR.. A. J. Giesy, me of the con-
sulting physicians, at midnight last
night made the following statement:
"I was called with DR.. George
F. Wilson to go in consultation
with the attending physicians about
8 o'clock. I found Senator Mitch
ell's condition very grave. He was
then in a semi-comatose state and
his mind was wandering more or
less. He recognized me, and I
think that he realized that he was
very sick; but I found him very in
different to his surroundings. Sen
ator Mitchell has been suffering for
many years with a diabetic trouble.
He has lately been subjected to a
very heavy mental straiu. These
things and his advanced age make
it difficult for him to overcome a
trouble that otherwise might not
prove serious. The extraction OF
four teeth today was followed by
excessive hemorrhage. After some
hours it was stopped with some
difficulty. AS it is, the Senator is
very greatly weakened. 1t may be
that he will be decidedly better in
the morning, and if he is, I shall
hope for favorable progress; but il
he does not rally soon diabetic coma
may be feared, and if the Senate I
should enter into that condition, il
would, I fear, be the beginning Of
the end"

People with inhamed and aching

are constantly asking, "What is the best
thing for rheumatism ?"

tefual applications is foolish waste of

Delaysin adopting a sensible treatment
arc dangerous because rheumatism may
at any moment reach the heart and prove
fasRl. The only safe course for rheumatic
sufferers is to get the best possible blood
resnedy at once.
Gr. Stephenson's experience with this
Obstinate aud distressing affection is
that Of hundreds. He says:
About year ago was attacked by
severe rheumatic pains in my left
shoulder. The pains were worse in wet
weather. and at these periods caused me
tho greatest suffering. tried a number
of treatments and ointments. but they
failed to alleviate the pains"
Then he realized that the cause must
be deeper and the pain only surface in
disation. He adds:
al had heard DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People recommended as cure
Tor rheumatism, and when I found that
Twas getting no relief from applications.
fhade up my mind that would try
them. Before the first box was gone I
noticed that the pains were becoming
less frequent. aud that they were not 80
severe as before. After the second box
had been used up was entirely free
from discomfort, and have had no traces
of rheumatism since"
The change in treatment proved by

Thomas Stephenson. who lives at No. 1 16
Greenwood street. Springfield. Mass.
had found the true means for the purifl.
cation and enrichment of his blood.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are without
doubt the best of all blood remedies.
They effect genuine aud lasting cures in
rheumatism. They do not merely deaden
the ache. but they expei the poison from
the blood. These pills are sold by all
druggists.
