HIS CURE COMPLETE
Mr.. PORTER NOW ENTIRELY FREE
FROM NEURALGIA.
Remedy Found In DIR. Williams Pink
Pills. Relief Began With First Box
and Pain Now Gone Altogether.

Remedy Found in DR.. Williams Pink
pills. Relief Began With First Box
and Pain Now Gone Altogether.
TT seems like a miracle that those
little pink pills should have cured my
neuralgia said Mr.. Potter. They are
certainly a marvellous medicine and I
shall always be glad to recommend
them.
For two years he continued. Il
had suffered almost unbearable pains in
my head. They would start over my
eyes and shoot upward most frequently,
but they often spread over my face and
at times every part of my head and face
would be full of agony. Sometimes the
pains were so intense that I actually
feared they would drive me mad"
Were you in pain all the time?'
Ny eyes ached constantly and there
was always a burning sensation over
my forehead, but the other pains varied
sometimes they were acute and again
they were dull and lingering
WAS your health in general al
fected?"
I could not sleep. my temper was
irritable and I got no pleasure out OF
life"
During those years of suffering. you
made efforts to conquer the disorder,
didn't your"
Il surely did. I tried remedy after
remedy, but finding no help in any Of
them, became a despairing man. Even
when I began to take DR.. Williams
Pink Pills I had no great hope OF
cure. I had used nearly everything else
offered for neuralgia, and 1 merely
thought: they won't do me any harm;
NAV as well try them too.
That was in December of 1903. To
my surprise, a change in my condition
took place right away. The pains grew
less intense and the acute attacks We're
further apart, as I kept on using Dr.
williams Pink Pills The Improvement
began with the first box, and when L
had used six boxes I stopped. My cure
was complete and has lasted ever since"
Mr. Charles H. Porter lives at Ray
mond, New Hampshire, and is Well
known as the proprietor of the Hotel
Raymond. He is one of many grateful
people who have found that DR.. VII
Iiams' Pink Pills will cure diseases OF
the nerves that have stubbornly resisted
every other remedy tried. They do not
deaden pain, but they cure the disease
that causes the pain by purifying and
enrichfna the blood. Not only neuralgia,
but sciatica, partial paralysis and loco
motor ataxia yield to them.
One Of the best things about DR.. VII
liams' Pink Pills is that they do not
contain the slightest trace Of narcotics
No harmful drug habit results from
using them. AS soon as the cure IS
complete they can be laid aside without
discomfort. They improve the general
health at the same time that they cure
the nerve-aches They are sold by all
druggists. A valuable booklet on nerv-
Gus disorders will be sent free to any
one who will write the DR.. Williams

Altoona, Pa.-Little Wallace Moore,
aged eight, barefooted and ragged the
son of farmer living near Osceola,
13 miles southeast of here, with rare
presence of mind for one Of his years
saved a passenger train on the Tyrone
division of the Pennsylvania railroad
from certain disaster and probably
prevented injury, If not death, to 1913
passengers
The lad. while playing about the
railroad tracks which run near his
home, noticed that switch leading to
a spur, at the end OF which was an
embankment, had been opened.
Fastening to clear stretch of road,
he stationed himself in the middle of
the tracks and breathlessly awaited the
approach of the train. He swung his
arms. and, grabbing his hat, waved II
madly. Engineer Franks BECAME
alarmed when the boy showed no signs
Of leaving the track. and quickly APP
plying the emergency, brakes stopped
the train within few feet of where
the boy was standing.

WoOED HIS OWN DAUGHTER
Just Before Wedding Was to Take
Place Swiss Discovered Her
Identity.

Geneva, Switzerland.-A remarkable
love tragedy has come to light in the viii
lage of Appenzell. which for unique fea-
lures is hard to duplicate.
Nearly 20 years ago young Swiss
commercial traveller named Mueller de-
serted his wife and infant daughter and
emigrated to Mexico, where he succeed
ed In amassing considerable fortune.
His wife died, and the little girl was
adopted by farmer named Schloss
The child assumed his name and was
generally regarded in the district as the
farmers own daughter.
A Year ago her father, who called him
self Ilfelder after leaving his native
country, sold out his business In Mex
leo and returned to Appenzell. Hewas
informed. and naturally believed, that
both his wife and child were dead.
Later. he met his daughter, and, ignor-
ant of her identity, fell in love with her.
She is now nearly 20 years old, while
he is Al.
For four months the returned wan
derer wooed the girl with her consent
1t was only when he asked the approval
Of Farmer Schloss that he learned the
girls history, and recognized that he
had won the hand Of his own daughter.
Rushing from the house, he travelled
at once to Bale, whence he wrote to the
farmer. confessing everything, and
placing $4,000 to the girls credit In a
Zurich bank. Nothing more has been
heard Of him, and his daughter is heart
broken.

table with their six children, but never
word was spoken between them. The
father labored increasingly and well.
making his farm better and better, and
gradually adding to his wealth until
to-day he owns the farm all free and
clear and has $4,000 cash in the bank.
Meanwhile the mother was doing her
share of the work. She made the
children's clothes, saw that they went
to school, kept the house as spotless as
hard work and plenty of soap and wa
ter could do it. made the beds, cooked
the meals and made the butter and

loving of wives could do to add to her
husbands worldly goods was left un-
done.
But never word did they speak.

the house and agreed with the peddler
that they were the finest geese in all In

the peddler. al
Uncle Ham" named his price, good
round figure, that was more than the
market value of the geese and enough
TO add pretty pennySto the bank &C

ingly year after year.
The bargain was closed just as Mrs
Grubbs appeared in the farmhouse door.

wife, holly, Il have and I'm a-goin' to

Ham" Grubbs wanted the addition
to his bank account; his wife wanted the
feather beds. One hasty word led to
another and 1t ended by Mrs. Grubbs
flouncing back to the farmhouse and
the peddler carrying off the geese, for
which he paid the farmers price.
When Ham" Grubbs got back to the
house he found his wife still indignant.
There we're more words, and then "Uncle
Ham" said something which never
should have been said.
Vow Never to Speak Again.
'.I'll never speak to you again." de-
clared Mrs. Grubbs.
"All right" retorted her husband !;
"do as you like"
All the children heard the quarrel.
Those old enough TO understand began
to cry. Husband and wife realized that
their sudden determination never to
speak again might result in broken
home and distress to the six little ones.
Don't worry about them, Ham

Ohio, where they married and pros
pered. Ella at home became the in
termediary between her father and
mother Every effort Of hers at get
ting them to forget the past was an
utter failure. Whenever there were
any matters of Importance to be con-
sidered 1t was Ella who was spokes-
woman for the two years. A few days
ago Ella had her twenty-frst birthday,
and decided to leave home. So the
agreement between husband and wife
was ended. Mrs. Grubbs made up her
mind to live there no more, but to go
to the home OF one of her sons in ILL
nois who had sided with her in the
long quarrel.
Ella told this news to the old man
Ham" Grubbs is IS now, and his
wife is so. He protested vigorously.
The fact that he never spoke to his
wife, nor she to him had become sec
ond nature to him. and he couldn't see
how he was going to get along with
out her to do the housework. He SAID
she couldn't go; who would take her
place?
This was the last straw
Mrs. Grubbs decided to sue for d.
vorce. Papers were served on Grubbs.
In which he was charged with cruel
and inhuman treatment. and alleging
that he had cursed his wife an the
presence of their children, and had
said other things toher which no good
husband would say to his wife. There
was hearing before Judge George f.
Downey. He investigated and found
that there was absolutely no hope of
reconciliation between them, though
the quarrel was 81 years old. So the
decree was granted, and judgment
of $4,000 alimony was granted, which
the old man promptly paid.
Mrs. Grubbs has gone to her sons
home now. ''Uncle Ham remains at
the old homestead, where he vows he
will end his days alone. And there
is now no prospect whatever OF bring
ing the old couple together ever again,
as all Miller township knows.

Lawrenceburg, Ind.-One of the odd
est divorce cases ever tried in this coun.
try was recently decided, by Judge
George e. Downey in this county.
The principals in this strange case
were aged 65 and 60 years, respectively,
the man being the senior. The couple
were married 81 years ago, but though
they had lived together constantly all
of that time, and had raised a family OF
six children, they had not spoken to
each other for 81 years.
Such is the peculiar ending of the
romance of Uncle Ham and Aunt Julia
'Grubbs.
The neighbors who hoped the breach
of Fl years would be healed by time are
more than disappointed. Aunt Julia
Grubbs has secured her divorce from her
husband. Uncle Hamilton Grubbs. and
$1,000 alimony, and has left forever the
family home in which she lived for 81
years. They quarreled in 1884; from
that day to this they have never ex-
changed a word, though they have oc-
cupied the same house and have eaten
three times a day at the same table.
Now it is too late to make up.
The Romance
Forty years ago everybody in Moore's
Hill district knew that Ham" Grubbs
was sweet on Julie" Harris. He was a
likely young farmer then and a good
catch. and Julia Harris was the prettiest
girl in the county. Ham" courted
-'Jule" and he distanced all the other
young fellows in the district and mar
ried the girl on May q. 1868.
It was jolly wedding and the coun-
try folks came from miles around to help
the happy pair to celebrate. Rev. Ben
janin Plummer, one of the old-time
clergymen Of the Methodist Episcopal
church in southeastern Indiana tied the
knot and wished the young couple
happiness, long life and prosperity.
They have had the long life and prosper
ity all right, but hardly the happiness,
though six children have blessed the
union and never a death has lessened
the home circle.
More than their share Of the world s
goods came their way. Uncle Ham, .
as he came to be known throughout
Miller township, was hard worker and
a mighty smart farmer. Gradually he
increased his holdings until he was the
owner of 10 of the best acres in all the
township. He had the finest house. the
most head of stock, the best up-to-date

every one Of them is grown up, and
then we can see what we'll do. But

"All right, won't answered
Ham" Grubbs. and from that moment
to this they have never exchanged a
word.
Soon the neighborhood gossips heard
all about Uncle Ham" and Aunt
Julie" agreeing never to speak again.
They wondered little, but made up
their minds that time would bring
about reconciliation, and that all
would be we'll Instead, the breach
