AFRAID OF PARALYSIS
A NERVOUS SUFFERER CURED
ST Or. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS,
The Medicine That Makes Rich, Red
Blood and Performs Wonders az a
Tonic for the Nerves.


Blood and Performs Wonders as
Tonic for the Nerves.
Why are nervous people invariably
pale people?
The answer to that question explains
why a remedy that acts Oh the blood
can cure nervous troubles.
1t explains why DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People are also for nervous
people.
1t is because of tho intimate relation
between the red corpuscles in the blood
and the health of the nerves. The
nervous system receives its nourishment
through the blood. Let the blood be-
come thin, weak and colorless and the
nerves are starved-the victim is started
on the road that leads to nervous wreck.
Nervous people are pale people-but the
pallor comes first. Enrich the blood
and the nerves are stimulated and toned
up to do their part of the work of the
body. DR.. Williams Pink Pills mako
red blood and transform nervous, irrit.
able, ailing people into strong, energetic,
fOrceful men and women.
Mrs. Harriet +. Porter, of 20 Liberty
avenue, South Medford, Mass, says:
q had never been we'll from child
hood and few years ago l began TO
have dizzy spells. AT such times could
not walk straight. l was afraid of
paralysis and was on the verge of
nervous prostration. Then neuralgia
set in and affected the side of my face.
The pains in my forehead We're excru-
ciating and my heart panied me so that
my doctor feared neuralgia of the heart.
| tried several different kinds of treat
ment but they did me no good.
Zone day my son brought me some OF
DR.. Williams Pink Pills and l found
that they strengthened my nerves.
took several boxes and felt better IN
every way. There We're no more dizzy
attacks, the neuralgia left me and have
been well woman ever since

quiet and not only ignored the request
but became more boiSterous. Their only
defense was that it was part of their

WITNESSES SAY CoNNsLLwAs COURTEOUS
Sequel to Coal Trust Hearing Started
Yesterday Before Judge sutton
and to he Continued
Today.

II was a great day for the coal men In
the trial of Attorney w. j. Cornell before
Judge SUTTON yesterday for contempt One
after another the defense called its wit
nesses; one after another they admitted
they had been defendants in the "COal
trust case: one after another they adj
United Mr. Connell was their attorney and
one after another they admitted they had
read the pamphlet printed by Mr.. Conneil
and purporting to contain all the matter
involved in the controversy between Mr.
Connell and Judge Sutton upon which the
contempt case had been brought.
1t was a most remarkable chorus, en-
tirely in harmony, that came upon the
witness stand. Each declared that Mr.
ConneIrs manner toward the court had
been Chesterfleldian In it's propriety and
suavity. A. B. Cook said his demeanor
was "hrst-class." but when County At
torney English propounded the question
whether the witness recalled the remarks
of Mr.. Connell and his demeanor from mem
DRY, each witness stumbled and admitted
that he had refreshed his memory" from
the little pamphlet issued by Mr. Connell
The following were the witnesses who tes-
titled z. E. Howell George f. Grihith
Of the Union Coal company, George p.
Cronk of the c. B. Havens company, A.
B. Cook of the Union Fuel company, Ran
dali K. Brown OF the Coal Hill Coal COM
pany and J. A. Sunderland.
Mr.. Brown said he had seen a page torn
from Mr. Connelrs pamphlet just the day
before, when Mr.. Thomas of Mr. Connelrs
office showed it to him and Judge Slabaugh
In the room where they were waiting to,
be called to testify in the case. He said
Mr.. Thomas had written on slip Of yellow
paper Judge Sutton's version of the AFFAIR
and that he asked him which he thought
was correct. Mr.. Sunderland said Mr.
Connell read the passages in question to
him from the pamphlet and asked him II
that was his recollection OF the contro-
versy.
Attorneys Connell and Stout became nerv-
ously alert when, as Mr.. Cook was finish
ing his testimony. Judge Sutton suddenly
asked him:
Have you and your firm helped pay Mr..
ConnelTs fee in the Howell case?"
Mr.. Stout interpOsed his objection, and
