NATURES Defence
AGAINST DISEASE
Is Strengthened by the Tonic
Treatment for Rheumatism
as This Maine Case
Proves.

Pure, red blood is the body's only de.
fence against disease. When healthy,
the blood attacks the poisons of disease
and so changes them that they can be
thrown off through the lungs, skin, kid.
neys and bowels. In fact this is what
the blood is constantly doing and dis.
ease occurs only when the blood be.
comes impure through errors in living,
such as overwork, worry, lack of fresh
air or OF nourishing food. 1t is then
unable to overcome the poisons and they
are carried throughout the body and in
the weakest organs the disease gains a
foothold
In the case of Mrs. Edward Fenton,
or Sullivan, Maine, the rheumatic poi
sons in the blood were probably heredi.
tary She says:
"For i've or six years [ was victim
OF nervous Indigestion and suffered a
great deal. Food distressed me and
was troubled with gas on my stomach.
While in this condition l had an attack
or acute rheumatism. At the time
was run down through overwork. In
my case, however, think tile disease
may have been hereditary for my
mother suffered with it for years. The
rheumatism was in my hands and feet.
My feet were so swollen that couldn't
wear my shoes for several months. I
could hardly bear the pains and was
kept awake by them many nights. The
pain was constant and hurt me so that
l limped when / walked.
81 was under the care of two doctors
for nearly year but they didn't help
me. Upon the advice of friend I then
gave DR.. Williams Pink Pills a trial.
They helped me from the first and after
taking few boxes was cured"
Nature needs some help i'll most cases
in fighting disease and the tonic treat
ment with DR.. Williams Pink Pills is
the most efficient that can be given.
They contain no stimulant. opiate or
narcotic and cannot injure the most
delicate constitution.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, will be mailed, postpaid,
on receipt of price, 50 cents per box: six
boxes for $3.50, by tho DR.. Williams

COAL TRANSPORTED BY RIVER

The development of the Upper Oder
ana to a considerable extent of the
Rnein has been forced upon Germany
by the need of a coal sup
ply; and. indeed, the coal which
passed Up the Elbe is as inn
portant to the manufacturers in
the interior as is the cheap freight
down. Germany's coal fields are re-
mote from her chief centers; one in
Silica. on the border near Krakau; one
in southwestern Prussia. and very
busy one on the Ruhr river near the
lower Rhine From the Silican fields
1000. coo tons go down the ODER every

nearly all of it transshipment to and
from the river and railway. Elaborate
figures sre prepared by the government
showing the cost of this transshipment
with the elaborate and modern ap-
pliarces employed. At Ruhrort, in
loading coal. the figures show that by
the old method of wheelbarrow and
gangplank it cost 200 marks $500 to
load 1000 tons With a steam crane
and buckets it cost $50 marks. With
the new appliances for tipping whole
railway cars it cost but % marks

GRAFT OF A KNEE.
Taken From Dead Man and Put on
Live Mans Leg.

WASHINGTON, February S.-That the
unusual operation performed at
GEORGETOWN University hospital ~
DAYS ago, by DR.. George Tuliy
Vaughan. when he grated the knee OF
a dead man on the leg of a living man.
will be successful is the belief OF the
authorities at the hospital. The pa
tent. George A. Kelly, 20 years oid,
who resides at 1857 Twenty-third
street, northwest, was reported to be
doing we'll at the hospital today. Fur
Their than to say they were encouraged
bv the outlook for a successful out
come of the operation, the authorities
of the hospital would not discuss the
case. DR.. Vaughan is also ret1cent on
the subject, following the dictates OF
professional etiquette with respect 70
such matters
Kelly was admitted to the hospital
with a badly diseased left knee, inc
result OF an injury which affected the
bones in tie leg. Realizing that am
Dutation would be necessary to save
the limb unless extreme measures were
adGptcd DR. Vaughan, who had charge
of the case, decided to try grating.
In the hospital was patient about
to die Permission was obtained from
his family to amputatc his leg immedi-
ately after his death. which was lneYl-
table. AS soon as he passed away Dr.
Vaughan, assisted by several othcf
surgeons. amputated the leg, cut out
fine knee and the calf An identical
operation was performed on Kelly and
tbe transfer was made The bones
were fastened together with Tine wire.
1t was a remarkable operation, the
only one of it's kind, it is said, ever
performed in this country. The name
Of the man whose limb was taken oft
will never be divulgcd by the physicI-
ans. They have expressed their deep
gratitude to the family for granting
permission for the operation.
Kelley himself. it is said. will never
be told whose knee he is wearing.

Prescription which ANY,
one can Prepare.
Noted Authority's Advice to
Readers Of This Paper.
Try This at Home for Stomach,
Kidney and Bladder Diseases.

THE people here do not drink
enough water to keep healthy" ax-
claimed a well-known authority THE
numerous cases Of kidney and bladder
disease and rheumatism are mainly
due to the fact that the drinking Of
water. natures greatest medicine, has
been neglected.
Stop loading your system with med
icines and curealls; but get on the
water wagon. If you are really sick,
why, of course. take the proper medi-
cines-plain common vegetable treat
ment, which will not shatter the
nerves or ruin the stomach
To cure rheumatism you must make
the kidneys do their work; they are
the filters of the blood. They must
be made to strain out of the blood the
waste matter and acids that cause
rheumatism; the urine must be neu-
tralized so it will no longer be a
source of irritation to the bladder, and.
most of all, you must keep these acids
from forming in the stomach, This
is the cause of stomach trouble and
poor digestion. For these conditions
you can do no better that take the
following prescription: Fluid Extract
Dandelion. one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by
shaking we'll in bottle and take in
teaspoonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime, but don't forget the wa
ter Drink plenty and often.
This valuable information and SIM
pie prescription should be posted up N
each household and used at the first
sign of an attack of rheumatism, back
ache or urinary trouble, no matter how
slight.
