It MAY SURPRISE
SOME DYSPEPT|CS
TO LEARN THAT OvER-DRUGGlN0
OFTEN DELAYS A CURE.
Proper Diet, Plenty of Time for Eat
ing and Rest VIII Cure Most
Cases Unless the Blood-Supply
Is Deficient.

The adage lone mans meat is an
other mans poison is scientifically
true and to a certain extent dyspeptics
should allow their desires to dictate
their diet. always omitting articles
found to cause distress. Tho adage
holds true with drugs. Medicine that
will relieve one case of indigestion
will aggravate another.
Drugs play very little part in the
modern treatment of dyspepsia. From
list OF articles easily digested the
patient selects those that most appeal
to the appetite, avoids hasty eating
and rests after each meal by lying
down for a time If circumstances per-
nit. Then, unless the supply of blood
tc the stomac his deficient, nature
works the cure.
The Importance of healthy, well-oxi-
died blood is shown by the fact that
the stomach demands about nine times
more blood during digestion than when
it is empty. In fact, healthy blood is
necessary to the normal activity of the
stomach and when it is lacking MOTH
ing will more promptly restore the di-
gestion than building up the blood.
Pallor and weakness, gas on the stom-
ach, sour riSings in the throat, diZzi-
ness and shortness of breath when
appearing in cases of dyspepsia. point
to a deficiency in the blood supply.
Such a case was that of Miss Margaret
Reilly, of No. 3 8 Thirty-seventh street,
Milwaukee, Wis.
"I had a weak stomach for a num-
Der of years she says. land, although
was careful in what 1 ate, it kept
growing weaker. l suffered intense
pain If l ate a hearty meal. Gas
formed on my stomah and caused me
to be dizzy. My stomach was generally
sour. 1 was short of breath, had a
sallow complexion and felt dull all
tho time. At times 1 was confined
to bed for day or so.
''I was treated by a doctor at An
Okla. Mimi, and for time 1 thought
he was helping me, but when 1 stopped
taking his medicine 1 became worse
again. After l had been sick for a
year 1 began to use DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. 1 gave them a good trial. for
1 soon saw they were helping me, and
was cured. l am in good health now
and so can heartily recommend DR..
Williams Pink Pills"
A great many people who are suf-
fering from indigestion are suffering
unnecessarily. They can be cured.
The first step is to send to the DR..
Williams Medicine Company, Schenec-
tady. n. Y. for copy of their diet
book, What to Eat and How to Eat -
1t is free on request.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent. postpaid,
on receipt Of price. so cents per box;

Mr.. Arnold was graduated from
Hillsdale college in 1884, and after sew
eral years spent in mechanical engi-
neering with the Great Western rail-
way, he decided to take up electrical
engineering, feeling confident that the
railroad of the future would be electri-
cally equipped. For the purpose of TAX
ing up electrical engineering. he took
post graduate course at Cornell. and
upon leaving the university, accepted a
position with the -Hous ton
company. and remained with them as
consulting engineer until he was con-
nected with the Edison company His
latest work with the new concern as
consulting engineer was design of the
Interborough railway at the Columbian
exposition at Chicago. In 1893 he re-
signed his post and came to the Chi
cago Street Railway company, where he
mas been ever since.
mechanics have been Mr. Arnold :
noDDy rather than his work during life
he mas always thought mechanics and
nVed mechanics, and is thoroughly en-
tnuslastic over his line of work He
mas been honored by innumerable sci
entlnc and engineering societies
throughout the country in recommen-
oatlon OF his many. achievements. He
was the first western man to be ap-
pointed to the American Institute of
Electrical Engineering. probably the
highest honor which an American of
MS profession ever attained.

STARTED ON A FARM.
Story of Nebraska Boys Rise in the
World.

From a Nebraska farm to president
of the American Institute of Electrical
Engineering is a great step for any
man to accomplish in a lifetime, but
when this is done in a comparatively
few years it is all the more worthy of
note. Bion ]. Arnold is at present
consulting engineer of the Chicago
street railway system, and in addition
to this, is connected with several of
the largest railroads in the country As
a boy of 13 we find Mr. Arnold max
ing rather crude, though workable
stationary engine from old scrap iron
on the farm, and with the help of a
forge in friendly blacksmith's shop.
couple of years later he made the
first bicycle seen in Nebraska. Mr.. Ar
mold himself had never seen a bicycle
but this did not deter him from max
ing one of his own design. which, at
least, was rideable if not mechanically
perfect. At the age of IS he designed a
miniature locomotive which ran per-
fectly, and which is today looked upon
by him as his greatest work. for it was
his first finished product. This engine
is seen in Mr.. Arnold's office, and is d
source of much pride to its owner and
maker.
