WAS CURED RAPIDLY
RHEUMATISM IN TWO SEVERE GASES
MASTERED IN FEW WEEKS.
The Remedy Used by Mr.. SchrOeppel and
by Captain Isalfour in Great Demand in
Vicinity of Their Homes.

The Remedy Used by Mr.. Schroeppel and
by Captain Balfour in Great Demand in
Vicinity of Their Homes.
In the winter of 1923 Mr.. Schroeppel
was confined to his bed by a severe at
tack of rheumatism. His doctors treat
ment proved unsuccessful, but he subse-
uuently regained his health by means
which he describes with great enthu-
siasm.
"After five or six weeks of helpless
ness and pain, I" said he, 6 during which
T was receiving regular visits from the
doctor, felt as bad as ever. Just then
nv mother, a woman eighty years Of
age. paid me visit. She had received
great benefit from Dr. Williams Pink
Pills, and she was confident they would
help me. At her solicitation / gave up
the doctors treatment and took the pills
in it's place.
'sAnd were you cured as the result Of
taking her advice?'
sizes, quickly and thoroughly. Be-
fore the second box was finished felt
very manifest improvement, and within
two weeks was able to leave my bed and
take up my neglected farm work. con-
tinued to use the pills, however, until
eight boxes had been taken, although
long before that felt that every ves-
tige of the disease had been eradlcated.
.Are there no traces left?"
absolutely none. For year and
three months there has never been the
slightest return Of the old trouble. For
this happy result l aud my family freely
praise DR.. Williams Pink Pills"
Within the bounds of China township,
St. Clair county, Mich, there is no bet
fer known farmer than Mr.. Henry
Scbroeppel. His cure has therefore nat
urallv attracted great deal Of attention.
One of Mr.. Schroeppel's neighbors, Cap
tain George Balfour, after hearing of the
salutarv results i'll Mr.. Schroeppel' S case,
decided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for an attack of rheumatism from which
he was himself suffering. He took eight
or ten boxes and now declares himself
free from the painful ailment'
Tt is little wonder that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are much in favor in the COM
munity where Mr.. Schroeppel and Cap
tain Balfour are so well and favorably
known. They are sold by all druggists
and are equally successful IN curing
neuralgia, sciatica and partial paralysis.

A naturalist has written to prove that
birds are not singers. but whistlers;
that Is to say. that the notes are pro-
duced through tube-to be technical.
through the slit known as the glottis-
not by the help. Of vocal cords. But the
whole distinction Is beside the point.
Any one who has seen a bird singing
will have seen both the vibrations in
his throat and the variations in the ex-
tent to which he opens and closes his
beak or mandihles; and. given these ae-
compartments, together with the pro-
duction of an inarticulate language.
whistling and singing become identical
terms suggesting distinction. People
are accustomed to the idea that only a
few species Of birds, such as the par
rot and the jackdaw. can be taught,
but In wild life almost all birds are
mimics TO some extent, and probably
more OF them than people realize could
be taught to initiate human sounds

NEGROES CONTINUE TO

The boycott of the street cars by

from present Indications it will be
kept up for several months, although
all concede that the boycott will ulti-
mately prove failure, and the ne
groes will again begin to ride on the

various lines.
There are some of the negroes Uf
Pensacola who are satisfied with the
new law. They take the stand thai
they do not care TO mix up with the
white people, and If the company af-
fords them equal accommodations that
is all they desire.
Others, however, do not take this
view, and seem To be possessed OF
the idea that unless they can sit along
side of white person IN a car that
tae accommodations are not f1rst-class.
The negro patronage. it was stated
yesterday, has decreased to a con-
siderable extent. This fact has been
noticeable for some time, but it is also
noticeable fact that The increase
in white patronage has been large, AMI
shows that the whites approve OF the
new measure and many are riding on
the cars who had heretofore walked
rather than mix up with an undesir
able class.
A number of negroes nave been no
ticed on the cars, but in each case
when they are seen by persons of thei:
own race they are subjected to taunts
and cries of Jim Crow" This, how.
ever, has no effect upon the more in

satisfied that the company will pro-
vide accommodations sufficient for

craft" says: THE diseases of children
supposed TO be inflicted by witchcraft
were those Of dropsy Of the brain and

could neither be accounted for nor
cured. consequently they were aseribed
to some supernatural agency. For the
cure Of diseases inflicted by witches
the picture Of the supposed witch was
drawn on a stump or piece of board
