Bed-He Tells of Remedy Which
Has Given Perfect Relief.
The case of Mr.. Marston shows that
| sciatica can be cured, and no one afflicted
by it should allow himself to be dis
heartened. He was first stricken about a
| year ago, and for six months he suffered
pain which he thinks the most intense
that any man could possibly stand.
| Asked about the details of his remark
able recovery, Mr.. Marston gave the fol-
| lowing account: 81 was attacked by
| numbness or dull feeling just back OF my
right hip. I didn't know what the mat
ter was, but thought it was simply
stiffness that would wear away IN a
short time. It didn't, however, and
soon the pain became so very bad THAI
every step was torture for me. When
finally succeeded i'll getting home, it was
lust as much as could do to reach my
room and get to bed.
"The doctor was sent for, and when he
had examined me he said / had sciatica-
He prescribed for me, and advised me not
to try to leave my bed The advice was
unnecessary for I couldn't get out OF
bed if wanted to. 1t was impossible fol
me to turn from one side to the other
The moment I attempted to move any
part of my body, the pain became so ex.
cruciating that would have to lie per-
fectly motionless.
81 suffered this torture for six months
without getting any relief. Then 1 dis
charged the doctor, and on the advice Of
friend I bought box of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and began to take them, three
at dose, three times day. was de-
terinined to give them a thorough trial
"Two months after began to use
them was able to leave my bed and
walk about the house, and month later
was entirely cured and able to go about
my work as usual. think Dr. Williams
Pink Pills arc the best medicine I eve1
used, and heartily recommend them tt
anyone who suffers from sciatica."
Mr.. Marston is prosperous farme
and may be reached by mail addressed
to Charles P. Marston, Hampton ?. @,

Pills have cured other painful nervous
disorders, such as neuralgia, partial par

prison labor for his own profit, and he
had the pris beaten with rods

doctor and the chaplain were afraid
to resist his orders. In the course Of

at the trial was to the effect that a
prisoner who attempted to escape was

Score OF Persons Burned TO Death IN
New York Tenement.

At least score of persons were burn
: ed to death, several were so badly hurt
/ that they may die and forty others re-
ceived slighter Injuries in Il fire that de-
stroyed a five-story New York tenement
house early Tuesday. The fire had gain
ed great Roadway before it became
known to most of the tenants and many
! of them were cut off before they could
make an attempt to save themselves.
| Scores were carried from the blazing
| building. Firemen climbed the walls on
their ladders. braved the flames and
reached the imperiled tenants.
Crowded fire escapes in the rear of the
tenement house were largely responsible
for so many deaths and injuries among
its population, which approached 300
The scenes about the building after the
fire when the search for the dead was
begun were heartrending. Nothing 50
pitiable had been seen in New York
since the Slocum disaster.
The fire started in the basement, oc
cupied by Isaac Davis. his wife and three
children. Davis had been out Monday
night and returned to his home early
Tuesday morning, went into his store on
the same floor just in time to see a kero-
sene lamp in the rear explode. He awOke
his wife and both tried to put out the
flaming lamp, but without success, and
then gave all their attention to getting
their children out of the building. \ pO-
Hccman who heard the cry of alarm
rushed to the scene and every effort was
made to rouse the sleeping persons in
the house
Meantime the flames had spread with
startling rapidity, and when the persons
who had been asleep on the upper floors
awOke they found themselves confronted
by a wall of flames on nearly every side.
On some of the fire escapes the rubbish
was packed so closely that it became
impossible to pass certain points, and
men, women and children stood literally
roasting to death as the flames roared
through windows around them. Many
women flung their children into the arms
Of men standing on the sidewalk.

the police station, weeping. wailing and
for the dead As rapidly as
possible they were permitted to examine !

laments grew louder. Unable to recog- |
