Good Sense In The Use Of
 Medicine.
How Prepared Household Remedies May Be Intelli- gently Employed and Proof Of What One
 Of them Has Ac-
 complished.

There are some who will not employ doctor under any circumstances and others who argue that we should not so much as take simple cough mix ture without calling on a medical practitioner to prescribe it.
 As usual the truth lies between the two extremes and common sense is all that is required to find it. Safe fam fly remedies, tried by time and proved valuable by experience will always have their place in the household and there are constantly occurring instan- ces in which they may be properly and intelligently used. A good tonic, safe for use without a doctors prescription, with complete directions for taking, of demonstrated worth, such as Dr Williams Pink Pills, will save many calls on the busy doctors time and will save money, time and suffering to the patient.
 If you feel rundown, either through over-work, worry, or some great strain on the bodily forces, you cannot do better than to use pr Williams Pink Pills. Mrs Nellie Mead, of 367 Bed ford street, Johnstown, Pa, says: "After the birth of my baby l did not get very strong, but grew weaker, if anything, as time went on. Any little excitement or work, even going up stairs, nader me tired out and short of breath. My digestion was poor and I didn't get hungry. If I forced my sell to eat, the gas on my stomach 01S- l treSsed me terribly. I was pale and ! nervous and was often troubled with
 dizzy headaches and palpitation of the heart.
 | ''I lost interest in life and became melancholy. The medicines l took
 for over a year didn't help me, so I be- gan to use pr Williams Pink Pills
 Sooner than I had hoped, I noticed a little benefit and continued the treat
 ment until well. My complexion be- came healthy and blood pure. My ap-
 petite came back, digestion was good land gradually my nerves grew strong.
 1 felt better and stronger in every way"
 pr Williams Pink Pills have also cured such blood diseases as anamia, rheumatism, after-effects of the grip
 and levers. Owing to the intimate re-
 lation between the blood and nerves, the Pills r we been found invaluable in such ous diseases as dizziness, nervous debility, neuralgia, St Nitus dance and even partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia.

 all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid,

TRUE TO HIS PROMISE.
BY Their Own Testimony, Doctor Had
RejuVenated Patients.

German doctor who claimed to
have discovered the secret of restor-
ing youth, advertised in London that
he could in two days rejuvenate the
most decrepit hag. This brought a
crowd of ancient danes to his house.
AT the first interview he invited each
patient to write her surname, Chris.
tian name and age on piece OF paper.
The ages whereto they pleaded guilty
varied, but all ruled high. The doctor
undertook to give each patient the
promised elixir next day On the ap-
pointed day the doctor regretted that
he unfortunately had mislaid the pa.
per containing his youth-seekers'
ages, and he, therefore. requested
each one to write 1t down and call
again. In writing down her age the
second time each woman took many
years of the age she previously had
admitted. The doctor, pretending to
have found the first papers, called
them to witness, comparing the lists.
that he had kept his word, inasmuch
as in As hours they had all become
many years younger.

DOOM OF MIGHTY LONDON.
Fire About the Only Agent Which

With hints of German invasion and

one. What will be the end of the

sible, but extremely improbable. Lon

This again may be dismissed as most
improbable: and one calamity only re-

Now, London has suffered more than
once terribly from this cause, and In
1865 the city was practically wiped
