which produced severe itching irri-

such an extent that 1 was forced to

announced it to be skin eczema in its

the treatment did me no good. Fin

A PERFECT HAND.
How Its Appearance Became Familiar
to the Public.

How Its Appearance Became Familiar
to the Public.
The story of how probably the
ca became known to the people Is
rather interesting.
AS the story goes the possessor Of
the hand was with some friends in a
photographers one day and while
talking, held up piece of candy.
The pose of the hand with its per-
feet contour and faultless shape at
tracted the attention of the artist who
proposed to photograph it. The re-
suit was a beautiful picture kept in
the family until one day, after read
ing a letter from someone inquiring
as to who wrote the Postum and
Grape-Nuts advertisements. Mr.. Post
said to his wife, I'VE receive so
many inquiries of this kind. that 1t Is
evident some people are curious
to know, suppose we let the advertis-
Using department have that picture
of your hand to print and name it "A
Helping Hand" (Mrs. Post has as
sisted him in preparation of some Of
the most famous advertisements).
There was a natural shrinking
from the publicity, but with an agree
ment that no name would accompany
the picture its use was granted.
The case was presented in the light
Of extending welcoming hand to the
friends of Postum and Grape-Nuts.
so the picture appeared on the back
covers of many of the January and
February magazines and became
known to millions of people.
Many artists have commented upon
1t as probably the most perfect hand
in the world.
The advertising dept. Of the Post
UNI Co. did not seem able to resist the
temptation to enlist the curiosity of
the public. by refraining from giving
the name of the owner when the pic
ture appeared but stated that the
name would be given later in one OF
the newspaper announcements, thus
seeking to induce the readers to look
for and read the forthcoming adver.
tisements to learn the name CT the
owner.
This combination of art and com.
merce and the multitude of inquiries
furnishes an excellent illustration OF
the interest the public takes in the
personal and family life of large
manufacturers whose names become
household words through extensive
and continuous announcements IL

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
A Desperately Serious Case Cured by
Or. Williams Pink Pills.

A Desperately Serious Case Cured by
Or. Williams Pink Pills.
Brought to the very verge of starva-
ton by the rejection of all nourishment,
her vitality almost destroyed, the re-
covery of Mrs. J. A Wyatt, Of No. 1889
Seventh street, Des Moines, Iowa,
seemed hopeless. Her physicians utterly
failed to reach the seat of the difficulty
and death must have resulted if she had
not pursued an independent course sug-
gested by her sisters experience.
Mrs. Wyatt says: ~ had pain in the
region of the heart, palpitation and
shortness of breath SO that 1 could not
walk very fast. My head ached very
badly and was seized with vomiting
spells whenever took any food. A doc
tor was called who pronounced the
trouble gastritis, but he gave me no re-
lief. Then tried second doctor with
out benefit. By this time had become
very weak. 1 could not keep the most
delicate broth OH my stomach, and at
the end of a month was scarcely more
than skin and bone and was really starv.
ing to death.
"Theu recalled how much benefit nv
sister had got from Dr. Williams Pink
Pills and decided to take them in place
of the doctors medicine. 1t proved
wise decision for they helped me as
nothing else had done. Soon I could
take weak ten and crackers and steadily
more nourishment. In two weeks I was
able to leave my bed. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills We're the only thing that
checked the vomiting and as soon rs that
was stopped my other difficulties left me.
I have vigorous appetite now and am
able to attend to all the duties of my
home. I praise DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People to all my friends because
I am thoroughly convinced Of their
merit"

DIED SUDDENLY
OF HEART DISEASE.

|. How frequently does head line SINH

1papers. The rush, push and strenuous
Dness of the American people has strong
tendency to lead up to Valvular and other
affections of the heart, attended by ir-
regular action, palpitation, dizziness,
Smothered sensations and other distress
ing symptoms.
Three of the prominent ingredients Of
which DIR. Piercc'S Golden Medical Dis
covery is made are recommended by some
of the leading writer's on MdtertG MedtcG
for the cure of just such cases. Golden
Seal root, for instance, is said by the
UNITED STATES DIsPENSAToRY, a stand
ard authority, "to impart tone and in
creased power to tho hearts action
Numerous other leading authorities rep
resent Golden Seal as an unsurpassed
tonic for the muscular system in general,
and as the heart is almost wholly COM
posed of muscular tissue, 1T naturally
follows that it must be greatly strength

probably the most important ingredient
of uGoIden Medical Discovery" so far
as its marvellous cures of valvular and
other affections of the heart are con-

so much oppressed with valvular disease Of

carry him upstairs He, however. gradually

Heretofore physicians knew OF no remedy
for the removal of so distressing and so dam
gerous a malady. With them it was all
guess work. and it fearfully warned the
afflicted that death was near at hand. Col

such cases. aud in most instances effects

Stone root is also recommended by Drs.
Hale and Ellingwood, of Chicago, for

GERMANY is ISOLATED.
May Be Meeting Between Edward
and William.

Vienna, March 5. King Edwards
tour creates great interest, and more
especially abroad, from the point of
view of its political possibilities and
its bearing on the Algeciras confer
ence. A meeting between King Ed
ward and Emperor William is talked
of in London and in Berlin, but no Of
fetal basis for such talk is ascertain
ed. 1t seems certain that no definite
plans have been laid by either mon
arch, and meeting is not likely to
occur unless the Algeciras conference
reaches an amicable conclusion, in
which case it is thought probable that
the monarchs may meet toward the
end of April in Greek waters on the
occasion of the Olympian games.
