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

Hundreds Of people afflicted with rheu-
matism have spent years under the care
Of excellent physicians IN vain. Thsn
they have settled down to the conviction
that il 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 suffered greatly
with rheumatism in my hands and
knees. After had been sitting q while
my limbs seemed SO heavy I could hardly
walk OIL the first attempt So long "a !
kept moving was all right, but just az
soon as stopped, something seemed to
settle in my knees and make them ache.

Yes, little. The schooner was from

the boat where they wouldn't hinder
the men at the oars, but when they got

sea was heaviest, them Italians lost
their heads and commenced to stand
up and yell, and fust thing you know

Captain Perez attempted to obey. He
waded into the water and gave the
dory push, but just as he was about
to scramble in he received shove that
sent him backward.

Perez scrambled to his feet, but the
dory was already halfway across the
little patch Of comparatively smooth
water in the cove. As he looked he
saw it enter the first line of breakers,
rise amid a shower of foam, poise on
the crest and slip over. The second
line Of roaring waves came surging on,
higher and more threatening than the
first. Captain Err glanced over his
shoulder, turned the dory's bow toward
them and waited. They broke, and as
they did SO the boat shot forward into
the whirlpool Of froth. Then the sleet
came pouring down and shut every

"YOur Jobs tdktn' care of Pashu!"
there We're $50 pounds of clear gri
and muscle Juggling at the oars, and
though the muscles were not as youna
as they had been, there were years oil
experience to make every pound count
At last the preliminary round was over
The boat sprang clear of the breakers
and crept out farther and farther, with
six inches of water stopping in her bst
tom, but afoat and seaworthy.
1t was not until she was far into
deep water that the captain turned hel
bow down the shore. When this was
done it was on the instant, and, al
though little more water came in
board, there was not enough to be
dangerous
The dory jumped from crest to crest
like hurdler. The sleet now beat
directly into the captains face and
froze on his eyebrows and lashes, but
he dared not draw in an oar to free a
hand. The wind caught up the spin
drift and poured it over him in icy
baths, but he was too warm from the
furious exercise to mind. a.
In the lulls he turned his head and
gazed over the sea, looking for the
boat. Once he saw it, before the storm
shut down again, and he groaned aloud
to count but two black spots on its
white surface. He pulled harder than
ever and grunted with every stroke
while the perspiration poured down
his forehead and froZe when it reached
the ice dams over his eyes
At last it was in plain sight, and the
two dots. now clearly human beings
were still there. He pointed the bow
straight at it and rowed on. When he
looked again there was but one, fig.
ure sprawled along the keel, clinging
to the centerboard.
The flying dory bore down upon the
lifeboat and the captain risked what
little breath he had in a hail. The
clinging figure raised its head and
Captain Fri felt an almost selfish sense
Of relief to see that it was Luther
Davis. If it had to be but one, he
would rather it was that one.
The bottom Of the lifeboat rose like
a dome from the sea that beat and
roared over and around it. The cen
terboard had floated up and projected
at the top, and it was about this that
