INFLAMMAT0RY
RHEUMATISM
Cured by DR.. Williams Pink Pills and
the Proof is Right Here.

Nothing better demonstrates that
rheumatism is a disease of the blood
than the fact that it is hereditary in
certain families. It may not develop
until conditions of cold and dampness
favor it because nature is always fight
ing to keep the body in health. When
disease does get the upper hand and
rheumatism is seated in the blood,
remedy that will revitalize and renew
the blood is the simplest and best
means of relief.
A remarkable instance of the value
of Dr. Williams Pink Pills in this dis
ease is shown by the cure they effected
in the case of Mrs. o. E. Taylor, whose
address is r. F. D. No. 6, Columbus,
Ohio, who says:
81 suffered severely with infamma-
tory rheumatism for three years and
was helpless in bed for weeks at a
time. The attack followed exposure to
dampness. Every bone in my body
seemed to ache and my joints We're
swollen to twice their normal size.
During the first attack / had to be fed,
as I could not raise my arms and was
SO perfectly helpless that [ couldn t
turn over in bed. The least bit of a
lar would hurt me and on damp days
the sharp pains were worse and almost
unbearable | was not able to work
for months, could not sleep and had
no appetite.
81 was treated by different doctors
at London, Ohio, who gave me only
temporary relief. Upon the advice of
a cousin, who had used DR.. Williams
Pink Pills with benefit, I decided to
give them a trial. / soon had an APP
petite and could see that the pills were
helping me. / took several boxes and
was cured. as / have not been troubled
with the pains since, and am a healthy
woman in every way

THE OKAYAMA OR
PHANAGE AS 1T IS
TODAY.
By Rev. T. Okumura.
g %%%& S&&&& 1888 y -

The great famine of 1905 in Japan
left so vivid an impression on us that
we can not forget it even today.
At that time the Okayama Orphan
age rose to meet the great national
emergency and befriended 823 famine
waits, taking them to Okayama from
northeastern Japan, and over 200 of
these children are still in their foster
home.
In consequence of this sudden in
crease of numbers from 375 to 1900
children, a debt of $4,000 ($30,000 of
which is for land and buildings) has
been contracted up to date. 1t is too
heavy a burden for the 0rphanage to
lift unless we stretch our helping
hands out of our friendly duty.
In the last Okayama Orphanage Rec
ord Tin Japanese), we read about Mr..
ishii, the superintendent Is, two deci-
sions made, as follows:
/. To incur no more debt, however
urgent need may be. That is to say,
in case that the income is short of
meeting the expenses, they will rather
fast than incur any more debt.
2. To stop to give regular salaries
to the helpers except school teachers.
Mr.. Ishii announced that those who
can not stay unless they receive reg
ular salaries are requested to leave the
orphanage. Upon this some of them
frankly told their family responsible
ties and left the comrades. So the
present workers are those who have
volunteered even to die for this insti-
tuition.
To these remaining helpers Mr.. Ishii
read the part of the sixth chapter of
st. John which tells us that our Lord
gave the 5000 persons food enough to
eat out of five loaves of bread and
two fishes, and exhorted them, saying:
81 am sure that we can see the same
miraculous support of this large fam.
well as twenty centuries ago. But
first of all we must offer all we have,
as the disciples did,
Deeply moved by these words, the
helpers gave what they had, each say
ing: "This is my FIVE loaves of bread
and two fishes. - The donations
ranged from twenty-five yen to three
yen. Besides that there were many
who gave nearly all their clothes, in
Guiding some jewelry. A lady worker
parted with the highly-nrized dress
which she wore on her wedding day.
What a brave decisionl What a
sublime self-sacrifce! No one can
help sympathizing with such step
taken by the orphanage workers.
On reading that, | could not help
bursting into tears. I trust that many
a friend here in the Hawaiian Islands,
on hearing these facts, will be satisfied
to learn that not cent you havegiven
to this worthy cause is spent in vain.

MEDICINE FOR THE SOULS ILLS.
Walk Awhile In Solitude and Invite
lntrospeetion.

Do we love solitude? Do We love
nature? Ask the greedy cities that
are steadily absorbing the country
boys and the country girls. Ask the
cities that are growing at the ex-
pense Of the little villages and ham
lets. And all to avoid solitude, all to
join in the reputed gayety Of the as
sembled mob that laughs ut high heav-
en- in the congested marts Of men.
Yet solitude hath its uses. At least
. little of 1t Is good for us all. 1t Is
worth while to get US away from men
occasionally, to walk with ourselves
under the high canopy. and to think
upon ourselves and our deeds of com
mission and our sins Of omission, to
look upon ourselves with the frank
eyes of honest introspection, to get
our bearings and to locate ourselves in
the little world that revolves about us.
We may not come out Of such .
process brightened-not II We are
weak men with abundant sins-we
may not feel cheered by what We have
seen of our failures to do and to be
what we have wished: but It II better
for us 90. The prick of our shortcom-
ings will, or should. serve to spur us
ON to better performances.
