Thirty Dnxn for Doctor.

The case against Dr. Steve Gonzalez. who was arrested yesterday for circu- lating false reports. and who was addi- tionaliy charged with interfering with the health authorities, was disposed of in the Recorders Court this morning. pr. Gonzalez was sentenced to thirty days in the city jail. the sentence to be suspended, however. during the good behavior of the physician, who. 1t is alleged. talked a little too much
 It was represented that pr. Gonzalez, when an official bulletin was posted yesterday, became very much excited, and said there was no yellow fever in Pensacola: that the doctors were iool- ing the people for the purpose of graft, and that this was all 1t amounted to. Since there has been a cleaning-up cru sade started here, and since the people generally were obeying the instructions of the health officer. 1t was calculated that such remarks as this might lessen the confidence now held in the health T1en.

 Rcoa of Disease.
 Anaenia is just the doctors name Tor bloodlessness. Dr. Williams Pink 7iiis for Pale People actually make new blood. Can any cure be more oirect or certain Blood is bound to cure piooa. anaemfa inst as food cures hunger. They cured Mrs. Thos. !. McGann. or " Lincoln Place, Piainfield, N. J.. ana they can do as much for any other paie' weak. aiiing, bloodless person.
 Tn the spring of 1903 did my usual house cleaninE," says Mrs. McGann' and soon afterward began to have the most terrible headaches. My heart would beat so irreguiarly that 1t was painful and there came a morning when P could not get up. My doctor said l had anaemia and he was surprised that had continued to live in the condition was in. I was confined to my bed for | nearly two months, the doctor coming every day for the first few weekss put did not improve to amount to any thing.
 Altogether was sick for nearly two years I was as weak as rag, had headaches. irregular heart beats. loss or appetite. cramps in the limbs and was | legs and feet were so swollen that I feared they would burst
 One day, while was wondering how long could live, feeling as did, re- ceived booklet telling about Dr. Will liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. | read 1t and told my husband to get me some of the pills. Before the first box was gone felt change for the better. I have taken about twelve boxes and although I was as near the grave as l could be. I now feel 'as if had new lease of life I have no more head ache. the heart beats regularly. my cheeks are pink and I feel ten years younger. I feel that have been cured very cheaply and I have recommended Dr. Williams Pink Pills to lots of my friends"
 When Dr. Williams Pink Pills replace bad blood with good blood, they strike straight at the root and cause Of dis eases like headache, biliousness. indi- gestion, anaemia, neuralgia. sciatica, locomotor ataxia, and the special secret troubles that every woman knows but that none of them like to talk about even to their doctors.

German Butchers, Appeal

Berlin. Sept. 7.-The price of cattle on the foot today is 14 3-4 cents per pound and live hogs IA cents per pound It is these prices that caused the mas ter butchers of Germany to petition the government today to admit live ami mals free of duty. The butchers are joined in the protest by the municipal governments of fifty or sixty cities. among them being most of the large manufacturing centers where 1t is all legged the industry is most injured by the increased cost of existence in Ger many.
 The agitation against the meat ex- clusion act has now gone on for two years with increasing force as the prices of meat have gone up. Slowly and steadily there has been a lessen ing of consumption per head while the country's population is increasing quarters of a million annually. The farmers have so far been unable to increase the number of food animals raised.

He said that he knew of no way to put a stop to 1t except to place fines upon every one who was brought before him for these offenses, ana ne imposed a fine of $10 against each or the night foremen.
