IT IS IN THE BLOOD
Neither Liniments nor 0intments
will Reach Reconsideration
Mr.. Stephenson Was Cured.

People with inhamed and aching
joints, or painful muscles people who
shuttle about with the aid of cane or
crutch and cry, Oh at every slight jar,
are constantly asking, What is the best
thing for rheumatism ?"
To attempt to cure rheumatism by ex-
ternal applications is foolish waste Of
time. The seat of the disease is in the
blood, and while the sufferer is rubbing
lotions and grease on the skin the poison
in the circulation is increasing.
Delaysin adopting sensible treatment
are dangerous because rheumatism may
at any moment reach the heart and prove
fatal. The only safe course for rheumatic
sufferers is to get the best possible blood
remedy at once.
Mr.. Stephenson's experience with this
obstinate and 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
the 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
dication. He adds:
at had heard DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People recommended as q cure
for rheumatism, and when found that
1 was getting no relief from applications,
1 made up my mind that I would try
them. Before the first box was gone ]
noticed that the pains were becoming
less frequent, and that they were not 30
severe as before. After the second box
had been used up was entirely free
from discomfort, and 1 have had no traces
of rheumatism since"
The change in treatment proved by
almost immediate results that Mr..
Thomas Stephenson, who lives at No. 110
Greenwood street, Springfield, Mass
had found the true means for the purih'
cation and enrichment of his blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are without
doubt the best of all blood remedies
They effect genuine and lasting cures in
rheumatism. They do not merely deader
the ache, but they expel the poison from
the blood. These pills are sold by Al
druggists.

China's resources of coal and iron are
among the largest and most favorably
situated in the world. The extent OF the
great coal fields has been put at 100000
square miles-twice the area of France and
more than seventy times the aggregate
extent of all the coal fields of Britain. OF
the quality of the deposits, much has yet
to be learned, but the distinguished Ger
man geologist, Baron Won Richthofen, re-
ported many years ago that both the
anthracite and bituminous varieties were
equal to the best product in Europe. 1t
is expected that very soon Chinese coal
will be delivered at Far Eastern ports at
prices with which no other coal can posi-
bly, compete, and that China, in con-
sequence of this development will become
a large exporter of iron.

boston Transcript

Judge Ross was an example of what
might be accomplished through the genius
of hard work and strict uprightness of
conduct and character. He was not what
was known as a brilliant man. He was not
the kind whose friends were predicting
for him fame and fortune. On the con-
trary, every advance was something Of a
surprise to them, but the use he made
OF the larger powers and responsibilities
with which from time to time he was in
vested never left any doubt that each
step of progress was fairly won and its
rewards well deserved. He essayed no
dizzy flights into the current activities of
life, but as he mounted the ladder of
distinction and service he planted both
feet upon. each successive rung, before
preparing for a further ascent He was
a representative New Englander, one of
the best that his state has produced with
in the last century, retaining much of the
conservatism as well as sturdiness of the
old school of citizens: interested in all
good service whether political, religious,
educational or social, and helpful in max
ing Il fruitful. Though well along toward
four score years he was physically and
mentally vigorous until he met his de-
plorable fate in the railroad accident.

ing house. fell from the window of his
room on the top floor of the City hotel

in a few minutes His skull was crushed
and his jaw and right shoulder were
broken. He died without regaining con-
seriousness.
DR.. Rouillards parents live at Noun
tainsde. Hnsdale. He graduated in
1901 from the Baltimore medical COL
ege
According to the three young men with
whom he was in business, DR.. Roullard
came to his death by trying to walk on
the coping Of the French roof from the
window of his room to that Of the room
adjoining He was clad only in a night
shirt. Tracks show that he had gone
only a few steps when he lost his balance.
DR.. Rouillard's roommate was T. Jo-
sept McInerney of Lynn, Mass. In the
room next door lived the other two, L. L.
Dietz Of Philadelphia and S. f. s. Estey
Of st. Johns.
The four had been out together during
the evening. They had visited the
knights Of Pythias and from there had
gone to bowling alley. Rouillards COM
panions insist that there had been no
drinking among them and that, in fact.
Rouillard was always abstemious. They
entered the hotel some time after IL
o'clock and went directly up stairs to
their rooms. The young men. all OF about
the same age, had been joking and jolly

with his face turned to the wall. and
quite drowsy.
About 90 minutes later II apparently
struck Rouillard that it was up TO him to
show Dietz that two could play at the
same game. BY that time McInerney
was half asleep. He remembers that
Rouillard got up out Of bed and he has a
hazy recollection OF looking to the window
and seeing the legs OF his roommate
going through Then came the sound of
the body striking the sidewalk.
Passers picked up Rouillard. wrapped
him in a blanket and carried him to the
hotel office. DIR. Irving L. Carpenter
answering to a hurry call, pronounced the
young man to be beyond aid.
