NEURALGIA
AND SCIATICA
Why External Applications VIII
Not Give Permanent Relief
and How DR.. Williams
Pink Pills Cure
These Troubles.

Tack of blood is almost always ASSOCIATE
ed with neuralgia. Que medical author
ity has defined neuralgia rs 'the cry OF
the nerves Zoe better blood" This Is true
because the nerves receive their nourish-
mept through the blood. Build mp tho
blood. tho IMPOVERISHED nerves are fed
and the neuralgia rains disappear.
Tins il is seen Of how little perma-
nent benefit local or external applica-
ton can be in TIC treatment OF neural.
ria or sciatica, which is " form OF
neuralgia. II also shows how eX-
actly suited to the cure Of neural
gia aud sciatcn is such remedy as
DR.. Williams Pink Pills which acts
BOTH on the blood and the nerves.
Beside their direct action on the nerves,
which affords temporary relief from the
sciatic pains. these pills build up the
blood, enabling it to give proper nour-
ishment to the nerves, and prevent the
further development of tho disease or a
return of it, SO long as the blood is kept
rich and red.
Mrs. George Henderson, whose address
is r. +. D. 40. !. Wynantskill, Rens-
selaor Co., N. T., says:
"A few years ago / strained my left
hip by fnll and later was troubled for
nearly wear with sciatic rheumatism.
The pains ran from my left hip down to
my heel and were so terrible that had

to make sure of permanent cure and

The great value of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion of the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
nerves are strengthened, and every organ
Is stimulated TO do its work.

odist Episcopal church, when seen to-
night regarding the charges which
have been preferred against Chancol-
Tor Day of Syracuse University. said
My position in the affair is judicial
one and it would therefore be i'm
proper for me to discuss the matter
in any way"
1t is stated that DIR. Day is charged
with having spoken evil of ma gis-
tratcs' in violation Of paragraph 81
of the general rules of the Methodist
Church which warns against "unchar.
table or unproftablc conversations
particularly speaking evi! Of magis-
tratcs or OF minister's"
in an interview of May 8, 1905,
Chancellor Day is credited with say
ing:
Anarchy Of tho sort practiccd by
President Roosevelt Is the most danger
Gus kind of anarchy. Anarchism in the
white House is the mos pcrllous
anarchism that has ever threatened our
country. 1t means anarchy if tho judges
are to be set aside and their vcrdicts
held up to criticism by the President"

DETAINED THE PRESIDENT
The brandon Pastor Alleges That

Has No Right TO Assail Prcai-

New York Conference.

Brandon, Vt, March 6.--Chargcs have
been preferred by tie Rev. George A.
Cooke, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal
Church in Brandon, against the Rev. j.
Il. Day. IL. D., chancellor of Syracuse
University, on the ground that Dr. Day
DETAINED the character of President
Roosevelt. Tho charges have been pre-
scented to the Rev. F. NJ. Waters D. D.,
presiding elder of the New ORR confer
ence Of the Methodist Church. to which
Chancellor Day is enthusiastically at
tachcd.
When interviewed tonight concerning
the allegations. the Rev Mr.. Cooke said
it was true he had brought charges
against Chancellor Day. lie said that
in a book entitled ~ Raid on Prosper
ity," written by Chancellor Day, Presi-
dent Roosevelt was severely criticised
and that in his opinion DR.. Day had vio-
lated the rules of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church in thus assailing the Presi-
dent Mr.. Cooke stated that the specific
charges preferred was defamation OF
character. lie considered that although
Syracuse University Is under obligations
to the Standard Oil people by reason of
large money gifts" Chancellor Day was
not justified as a minister of the Metho-
dist Church in assailing President Roosc-
welt. The university itself is non-secreta-
ran.
1t is expected the charges will be
passed upon at the April conference
of the New York district.
Rev. Mr.. Cooke was formerly pastor
of the Methodist Church at Milford,
Mass, and IS well known in New Eng
land and New York, through his cam
paign against Professor Hinckley NJ.

brew and Old Testament eXcEesis of

MORE PAY FOR CUSTOMS MEN


Washington, March S-Asst. Sec. of the
Treas. Reynolds yesterday appeared be-
fore the ways and means committee in
support of several bills providing for in
creasing tho salaries of employees of the
customs service,
NJ Reynolds devoted most of his at
tention to n bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Boutell Of Illinois and other
members authorizing the secretary OF
the treasury to increase the compensa-
ton of sustoms inspectors to not moro
than So day. At present the maximum
rate pay is s. a day, and this is paid at
New York. The rs inspectors at Boston
receive only "a day.
Mr.. Reynolds said there are 500 to
900 inspectors in the country and most
Of them receive only 81 per day.
C. II. Battell N Boston, an inspector
connected with the custom house there,
gave the committee the benefit of his
personal experience In connection with
the matter under discussion. He made
it clear that the inspectors need the
money, as their compensation has not
been increased for many years, where
as the cost OF living has greatly in
creased
The assistant secretary also discussed
several bills providing for increasing
the salaries of deputy collectors Of
customs. assistant appraisers and ex-
aminers, in the discretion of the treas
ury department, up to $4,000 per annum.
TO enact one of these propositions into
laws Mr.. Reynolds said, would cost the
government $4,000 annually in diaries
$40 600 of which would be paid to officials
at New York. There are three assistant
appraisers and several examiners IN

mcnt:
Cooke is something of n joke to those
who know him lie seems to have a
mania to bring charges against some
one and he has exercised this privilege
many times in tho past. Something over
n week ago he wrote me letter saying
that he intended to brin, charges against
me. Among other things he said:
" This is a serious matter for the re-
public. It may as well be fought out
over you as any one else.
at did not seem to matter against
whom charges We're brought as long as
they were brought against some one. I
am utterly Indifferent to Mr.. Cookies
charges or his procedure, If the time
comes when it is necessary, l believe |
can successfully defend myself against
his accusations, | have not received any
notification from the presiding elder
with whom he has filed the papers, The
reason n" Cling in New York is that
my formal connection Is with the
New York conference.
1.-THE committee has recently re-
jected the charges which Mr. Cooke

ley, editor Of The Christian Advocate
He brought charges against Prof b.

he charged with being hereto he
also preferred charges against Prot

and Dr. MacFarlend. secretary of the

made himself SO notorius in this way
