SuIyer Meant Well.

Mr.. Sulzer of New York, represents
in the House of Representatives what
is probably the most congested district
on the East Side. Mr.. Sulzer has, of
course like every other member, q
quota of garden seeds, but as there
isn't a garden or anything resembling
remotely resembling a garden in the
district, the amiable Sulzer has been
accustomed to trade his seeds for pub
lie documents.
Last fall. however. he began to think
that some Of his people who live in ten
ements might plant the seeds in boxes
on the window Sills and fire escapes,
SO he sent an assortment to the inmates
of model tenement lately built by
friend Of the Congressman.
Some time later, Sulzer, while in
New York, was met by the proprietor
of the tenement. who Immediately but
tonholed the representative. to whom
he unbosomed himself as 'ollows:
See here, Sulzer, / want you to cut
out that seed business. It's the limit?'
Why, what's the matter?" asked the
astonished Sulzer. and he explained
why he had sent the seeds
"Oh. you meant well, all right" re-
turned the friend, scornfully, but
when l visited the place the other day
| found that about ten families were
raising cabbage. cucumberS and to-
matoes in the bath tubs. Rochester

BRING GOOD HEALTH
DR.. William Pink Pills, Used After
the Grip, Arrest Fatal Decline and
Rebuild the System.

Any bodily weakness caused by
deficiency in the blood can be cured
by the use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
because these pills actually make new
blood. After attacks of the grip the
blood is generally run down and the
patient continues to decline.
About three years ago" says Mrs.
Jennie Cowan. of 71S \. Henry

caught a severe cold, which ran into
the grip. l was confined to my bed
for two weeks. At the end Of that
time l was able to be about, but was
completely run down. l was so weak
l could hardly stand, my cheeks had
no color and | felt faint. Ny heart
would f1utter and it was difficult for
me 10 breathe at times. Neuralgia
sett in the back of my head and
stomach and l suffered from rheuma-
tisn in my shoulders.
Il had the care of the best doctor
in town but became no better until
friend told me one day how she had
been cured by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills and 1 decided to try them. 1
soon fe,t better and continued using
them until ! was entirely cured. They
built me up again to perfect health
and | use them now whenever l feel
at all sick and they always help me-"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are inyal-
unable In such cases, as well as in
other blood diseases, because they not
only drive off the germs Of the disease
but build up the system The pills
have cured anaemia, rheumatism, af-
ter-efects Of fevers, neuralgia and
many other severe disorders.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold
by all druggists, or sent, POSTPAID, on

bacteria as Engineers,

Improbable as it may seem, states
a scientist IN the government employ
it appears to be fact that bacteria are
able to cause the breaking down of
stone walls.
Recent Investigations have shown
that nitrifying bacteria swarm in the
mud forced by the disintegration of
cement in reservoirs, and it is believed
that the decay of the cement results
from the action of nitrous acid pro-
duced by the bacteria. Yet these same
microscopic engineers, whose myrlads
undermine solid walls of masonry. are
nevertheless of immense use to man.

ThOrOuEhIy Reliable.

IL ever there was a reliable and safe
remedy it is that old and famous porous
plaster-Allcock's 1t has been in use for
sixty years, and is as popular to-day as
ever, and we doubt if there is a civilized
community on the face of the globe where
this wonderful pain reliever cannot be
found. In the selection of the ingredi-
ents and in their manufacture the greatest
care is taken to keep each plaster up to
the highest standard of excellence, and so
pure and simple are the ingredients that
even a child can use them.
Allcock's are the original and genuine
porous plasters and are sold by druggists
in every part of the civilized world.

AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA.

week Cuticura Drove Sores Away.
"Our little girl, one year and haI
aid was taken with eczema or that
woe what he doctor called it. We
called in the family Doctor and he gave
some tablets and said she would be all
right in a few days. The eczema grew
worse and we called in doctor No. :.
He said she was teething, as soon as
the teeth were through she would he
all right. But she still grew worse.
Doctor No. 3 said it was eczema. By
This time she was nothing but a yellow.
greenish sore. Well, he said he could
help her, so We let him try it about
a week. One morning we discovered
a little yellow pimple on one of her
eyes. or course we 'phoned for doctor
No. 3. He came over and looked her
over, and said that he could not DO
anything more for her, that we bad
better take her to some eye specialist,
since it was an ulcer. SO we went TO
Oswego to doctor No. 4, and be said
the eyesight was gone, but that he
could help it. We thought we would
try doctor No. ;. Well, that proved the
same, only he charged so more than
doctor No. 4. We were nearly dis
couraged / saw one of the Cuticura
advertisements in the paper and
thought we would try the Cuticura
Treatment. 50 | went and purchased
a set Of Cuticura Remedies, which cost
me 81, and in three days our daughter
who had been sick about eight months,
showed great improvement, and in one
week al sores had disappeared. Of
course it could not restore the eye
sight, but if we had used Cuticura in
time | am confident that it would have
saved the eye. We think there is no
remedy so good for any skin trouble or
impurity OF the blood as Cuticura. Mr..
