AN IMPORTANT CASE
Patient Cured of Ataxia Gives the
Entire Credit to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.

Mrs. S. G. Wellock, of ia Cleveland
Avenue, Everett, Mass, the wife of
an employee in the government works
at Chelsea, says:

ness for ten years and the disease
kept growing on me. Then learned
that 1 was suffering from locomotor
ataxia. I had terrible tremblings in
my right legfwhich would get rigid
nad to stand still until it passed
away to keep from falling. My right
arm felt as if a thousand needles were
pricking it. The sheet touching my
knee in bed would nearly cause me
to scream out with pain and both
knees were so weak I could hardly
stand
about by my son. Then the pain be
gan to settle in the calves of my legs
and the muscles became numb and
quivered constantly. The cords I'M
der my knees seemed to be drawn up
tight and the terrible shooting pains
in my legs would nearly drive me in
sane My toes became numb and at
times would prickle as If needles were
being thrust into them. My eyes be-
came dull and black spots fioated be-
fore them. My heart was very weak
my attention was called to DR..
Williams Pink Pills and bought sew
eral boxes right away and soon felt
relief 1 was so pleased that I kept
on taking them until they cured me
entirely, and have had no symptoms
of the trouble for over a year"

The extraordinary popularity OF fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stiff
ener makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.

With a profound appreciation
OF the high honor which the
Democrats OF this Senatorial Dis
trict have twice conferred upon
me. | beg leave to announce my
candidacy for a denomination as
the Democratic candidate for the
Senate of Virginia. In making
this announcement l feel it to be
pertinent and proper that l should
say to the splendid constituency
that has so signally honored me,
that should their partiality again
select me as their standard bearer
and ultimately as their represent
tative, | shall in the future, as I
have endeavOred to do in the
past, devote my energy and what
ever ability l may possess to their
service. Having an ambition to
have my course in the Senate
again approved by my constit-
uents, l beg to assure you that |
shall make an active canvass of
the district, giving public ac-
counts of my stewardship in
every county. and at the appoint
ments which l shall make l shall
invite my opponent to participate
IN the discussion of my public
record and the issues of the hour.
If you shall believe that my
service to my people as their rep
resentative merits a denomination
at your hands and a continuance
of the generous support you have
heretofore given me, l shall again
be deeply grateful. And if the
uncertainties O politics and the
sovereign wisdom Of the Democ-
racy of the Thirty-ninth Sena-
torial District shall retire me to
private life, l shall still be found
fighting in the ranks.
Very truly yours,

LOyDON-NEW YORK IN HALF A DAY

London. March 6.-Jose- Weiss
the latest inventor of an airship,
interviwed upon the subject
said:
Within fifteen years New
York will be twelve hours distant
from London" a speed of $50
miles an hour being achieved with
flying machines of the fixed bird
wing type gliders.
Mr.. Weiss explains in detail
the experiments he is making
with gliders, and his future plans
so far as these can be foreseen.
His first step toward the con-
quest of the air will be to obtain
the mastery over the balance OF
the simple glider. This consists
essentially of hollow bird body
with two fixed Outstretched bird
wings Curving upward at the tips.
The aerOnaut kneels inside the
body part and by moving his
body slightly backward and for
ward he is expected to learn to
adjust the centre of gravity Of the
continuance so that it comedies
with the centre of the air pres
sure-the essential principle OF
aerial flight discovered by Mr..
Weiss. The glider is steered to
the right or left by slightly raising
small part of the right or left
wing. -Virginian-Pilot.
