The Disease Yielded Readily to Or.

Treatment Failed.

tism because they supply the necessary
elements to the vitiated blood and en-
able nature to cast out the impurities
and effect a cure. Mrs. A. Baker, of No.
119 Fitch street, Syracuse, N. Y, will

this statement. There has been rheu-
matism in my family ever since can re-
member, she says. my grandmother
was a great sufferer from muscular
rheumatism and my mother also had the
disease i'll mild form. About year
ago I had hard cold and rheumatism
caught me III my left knee. There were
sharp pains, confined to the neighbor-
hood of the knee and they seemed to go
right into the bone. The pain suffered
was intense and I also had dizzy spells.
''The doctors called my trouble
uriatic and sciatic rheumatism. When
didn't get better under their treat
ment my brother-in-law suggested that
try DR.. Williams Pink Pills I bought
three boxes, and, by the time I had
taken them, the pain and dizziness had
entirely left me. / wanted to make
sure of q cure so bought three moro
boxes, but didn't take quite all of them
as 1 found that was entirely cured.
Z" Before I took the pills the pain was
SO severe that had to cry at times and
when 1 was cured I was SO thankful and
grateful and I am glad to recommend
them to every one who suffers with
rheumatism
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have cured
severe cases of an8mia, sciatica, nervous
ness, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia
and st. Vitus' dance that have not re-
sponded to other modes of treatment.

INHABITANTS OF VILLAGES FLEE
FOR THEIR LIVES.
ARE vERGING ON GREAT PANIC.
Lava coursine Down Mountain Many
Feet Wide-coIunn of Fire Sent Up
From Crater 1000 Feet Hish-spec-
tacIe Is Grand.

Naples, April 9. = The eruption of
Mount Vesuvius is now most violent
On the Pompeii side the main stream
of lava has divided into two, one
threatening Ottjano, a commune of
10000 inhabitants, and the other
threatening Tore Del Greco. with
population of 10000. The danger is
becoming serious and calls for the
immediate evication of BoscotrecaZ,
the nearest village to the crater,
which has a population of 5000 souls,
have been issued
Streams of lava which are diffusing
great heat are progressing with con-
siderable rapidity in the direction of
Pompeii. From the new crater, which
is twenty feet in circumference, the
lava has already gone two miles and a
half. Hot mud. ashes and black sand
are also elected, which, mixed with
rain, produce the so-cailed caustin rain
which is most damaging to vegeta-
ton. Although the showers of cinders
here have diminished, people can be
seen holding up umbrellas as prOtec-
ton against the falling ashes.
Naples.-The inhabitants of the vii
lagos in the vicinity of Mount Vesu-
Vius are in a condition bordering on
panic. Many homes have been aband-
oned for the open air, although there
has been a thick fog all day and the
atmosphere has been dense with vol
canic ashes and the fumes of Subter-
ranean fires. The churches are crowd
ed day and night with people praying
for deliverance from an impending
peril, manifestations of which are
heard and felt in explosions which re-
semble heavy cannonading with
tremblings of the earth which are con-
stantly recurring
The main stream of lava proceed
ing from Vesuvius is 200 feet wide
and it flows at times at the rate of
21 feet minute, destroying vegeta-
tion before the stream reaches it. The
peasants of POrtici, at the west foot
of Vesuvius, cleared their ground of
vineyards and trees in the effort. to
lessen the danger from fire, and re-
sisted the progress of the lava to their
utmost. The population of Boscotre-
caz, on the southern declivity of the
mountain, have sought safety in fight
and Bosco Reale, to the eastward, is
also threatened. Women of this vii
lage, weeping with fright, carried a
statue of st. Anne as near as they
could go to the flowing lava, imploring
a miracle to stay the advance of the
consuming stream.
The cemetery at BoscOtrecase has
been invaded by lava. The scene at
night is one of mingled grandeur and
horror, as from the summit of Vesu-
vius there leaps a column of fire fully
thousand feet in height and the
glare lighting the sky and sea for man
glare lighting the sky and sea for
many miles. Occasionally great
masses of molten stone, some weigh
ing as much as a ton are elected from
the crater.
The village Of Tore Del Greco,
which has been eight times destroyed
and as often rebuilt, is again threat
ened and the inhabitants are in eX-
treme terror.

willing to aid the needy and visit the sick,
while her sweet disposition, ready SYM
pathy and loving kindness endeared her to

streets or sleeping on piles of mat
tresses and clothing in the parks and
and on the sidewalks in those dis
tricts not yet reached by the fire.
