EVERY ONE ASKS HIM
HOW HE GOT RID OF HIS OBSTINATE
MUSCULAR RHEUMATISM.
Mr.. Jones Tells OF the Way by which He
Treated Himself Successfully
When Doctors Failed.

Treated Himself Successfully
When Doctors Failed.
Six physicians, all Of them good, ono of
them a specialist, had done their best
for Mr.. Jones at different times during
three years, and still he suffered fear
fully from the tortures of rheumatism.
The rheumatism that had been dor
mant in his system was suddenly
brought to an acute stage by exposure
while he was drawing ice i'll February,
1901. From that time on for q period
of more than three years he was q con-
slant sufferer. He tried many kinds of
treatment, but the rheumatism wouldn t
bulge. When regular doctors failed,
and one remedy after another proved
useless, many said: II should think he
would give it up and save his money"
OF his condition at this time, Mr.
Jones says: "My rheumatism started
in my right thigh, but in time it APP
peared in every muscle Of my body. l
lost the use of my left arm en-
tirely and nearly lost the use Of my
right one. My feet were badly affected,
especially the bottoms of tho heels.
When my right side was affected there
was swelling, but the left side didn't
swell when the disease settled there.
The internal organs didn't seem to be
involved at all. The trouble vas all in
the muscles and the nerves"
Among the few who still encouraged
Mr.. Jones to think that a cure might
yet be found was a friend who had rea-
son for great confidence in DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills, and acting on her
advice he bought a box Of them in Sep
TENDER, 1901. The story of what fol-
lowed is brief, but nothing could be
more satisfactory.
"When / wns on the third box" says
Mr.. Jones, az could realize a change for
the better. I felt sure then that DIR.
Williams Pink Pills were the right
medicine for my ease. | kept on with
them for several weeks longer and now
/ am entirely well, and everybody is
asking what 1 took"
Mr.. William Jones lives at Oxford,
Mich. DR.. Williams Pink Pills effect
wonderful cures in rheumatism, because
they work directly on the blood which is
the seat of the disease. They are sold
by every druggist.

HEMMlNC THE NAPERY.
Directions About Hemming and Hem
stitching and Mention Of Damask
Designs Approved at Present,

The simple rolled French hem done
by hand, Is the approved way of finish
ing the raw edges of damask t|ablecloths
and napkins Turn a narrow hem about
a quarter of an inch, haste, fold back
again on the right side Of the fabric, then
overland the hem to the cloth in a top
seam, When finished flatten and press
the hem in place.
Fine damask table linen is sometimes
hemstitched; the cloth with a two-inch
hem and the napkins with an inch hon.
While this is an exceptionally dainty
way of finishing, it cannot stand hard
usage.
Plain white damask is preferred to any
fancy weaves in color combinations for
any meal excepting five O'Clock tea, or al,
elaborate luncheon. Sometimes a plain
line Is handsomely decorated at home by
border sprays and a center garland large
enough to encircle a handsome bowl or
vase of flowers. While crest, monogram
or initials may be embroidered on linen
at any of the large shops where linen is
sold, most women prefer to do the neces-
sary marking with their own needles.

A Wonderful Discovery.

Broadland, S. OAK. March 2S.-Quite a
sensation has been created here by the
publication of the story of G. W. Gray,
who after a special treatment for three
months was PROSTATE and helpless and
gwen up to die with Bright's Disease.
Brjght's Disease has always been consld-
cred iucurable. but evidently from the
stoIy told by Mr.. Gray, there is a remedy
which will cure 1t even in the most adj
yanced stages. This is what he says.
Il was helpless as a little babe. Ny

saved my life.
\ remedy that will cure Bright's Dis
ease will cure any lesser Kidney Disease.
Dodds Kidney Pills are certainly the
most wonderful discovery which modern
medical research has given to the world.

MORE SIMPLE DRESS.
Plea for Less Elaborate Costuming
and for Practical Selection Of
Wearing Apparel.

Il wish some one would start an idea
by which we could dress really well
without having to pay such enormous
prices for a well-cut garment" said i
frugal but wealthy woman the other day,
You cannot go 10 an ordinary dress
maker unless you are rich, for, in the
end. your clothes cost more; the bodice
is a misfit, or the hang of the skirt is
wrong. or there Is a certain indescrib-
able something wanting about the whole
hing that stamps 1t as no class It
wears out in no time, and you are always
n the unhappy state of being fitted for
something new. If we could only find
a way out of this-have fewer costumes,
and have them well cut and of good ma
terials-it would be, undoubtedly, tho
cheapest and most satisfactory in the
long run. ] saw a very pretty evening
dress lately that struck me could be cas-
