MANY CASES
OF PARALYSIS
ARE DURABLE.
Treatment Entire Credit for
His. Recovery.


There are still people who say that no
form of partial paralysis can be cured.
If you have partial paralysis or some
other severe nervous disorder, do you
think it is better to be treated by some
one who insists that you are incurable,
or to take a treatment that grateful
patients throughout the United States
testify has cured them?
Mr. j. b. Stinson, of No. 1740 Madi-
son avenue. Kansas City. Mo, says:
In November, 1903, 1 was taken sick
with severe pains through my chest and
IN the region of my heart. The pains
became gradually worse. One morn
ing. while working in the field, I was
taken with worse pains than ever and
before / could get back to the house.
my legs seemed TO be paralyzed and I
could just hobble along and had to be
helped up the steps. I was in bed for
over two years and so helpless that
had to be turned over. | was COM
pletely paralyzed from just below my
heart down. [ had not a particle of
feeling in this part of my body.

bones. My appetite was good My kid
neys We're affected and had no control
over them. During the time L was in
bed, two years, I was a nervous wreck
and perfectly helpless.
I was living at Lees Summit, Mo,
during my sickness and was treated by
two doctors. Both said that my case
was paralysis. Their medicine did not
seem to help me and they said / could
not live friend sent me a clipping
from paper giving a cure of a case
similar to mine by Dr. Williams Pink
Pills and [ began their use soon after
l. took the pills for some time before
was satisfied that they We're helping
me. I then began to have some control
of my kidneys and bowels. l was fin
ally able to get around in a wheel chair
and continued to gain until 1 was able
to walk with a. cane. Like a child,
had to learn to walk again. 1 can walk
now without any effort and no one
would ever know what my condition
had been. I feel as we'll as I ever did
before the stroke, with one exception.
1 am not strong enough to do heavy
work or lifting. I consider my cure
miracle as does everyone who knows
of it,
The tonic treatment with Dr. will

blood so that it can nouriSh and

most severe nervous disorders. This

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Grand.

At the Grand
"The DAYS of 49," stirring patriotic
comedy drama, will be presented at
the Grand tonight by the dramatic So
ciety of Topeka high school. This per-
formance promises to be the best ever
offered by the high school students
and the advance seat sale indicates
that there will be an immense audience
to witness the play. The cast includes
some of the most talented pupils in the
high school and the rehearsals have
been very satisfactory The high
school glee club will sing several Sc
lections during the evening.
Clarence Bennett, the author of the
successful religious drama, THE Holy
City, is the son of a clergyman and a
Bible student of distinction. His treat
ment of the sacred subject Of the Pas
sion and death of Christ, in this play
sympathetic as well. There is a simple
majesty and a lofty power about the
play that makes its appeal universal.
1t will be presented at the Grand
Wednesday night, March 81.
Next Friday afternoon. April 2. one
of the most attractive offerings of the
present season will be heard at the
Grand when Shakespeare's "a Mid
summer Night Dream is to be pre-
sented by the Ben Greet Players, and
the well known Russian Symphony or
chestra of New York will play Mem
delssohn's musical setting of the work.
This combination has proved to be one
of the best drawing and most enter
tanning affairs all through the east
this fall and winter, and it's production
here will be an important event.
One of the best things about the
play THE Show Girr' which is sched-
uled for the Grand the night of April
l to be presented by the Washburn
Dramatic club, is the departing from
old lines so often adapted by college
dramatic societies. The Washburn
Dramatic club is an organization at
Washburn college that has been pre-
senting annual plays at the down town
theaters for a number of years. The
club picks its members from students
in the college who have shown talent
along this line either in their high
school work or in their smaller college
amateur plays. There are many char
acters in 1.-The Show Girl'' who have
made good with the Topeka high
school dramatic clubs and who. have
appeared before Topeka audiences any

However, widely the Farmer may have differed with Gov. Lilley upon public questions, it regrets deeply that the strenuosities of the campaign of 1908 and the social and public activities of his public position have brought him into a grave physical condition. There is, however, a lesson in the case, which is the dangers from over-exertion of whatever kind,[ to which. Americans are, through their hustling proclivities. exceptionally prone. We work at too high speed, and we play with equal disregard of consequences. It is to be earnestly hoped that Gov. Lilley will recover, and also that the lesson to be drawn from the causes of his serious illness will not be disregarded by oth- CTS. la

The season for forest fires is at hand, and but for the frequent rains of March, there would probably have been many of them. Agriculturists have an unfortunate habit of burn ing-over'' swamp lands at this time, and they too often lose control. Trout fishers are generally smokers, and un- expired matches thrown carelessly aside may easily start fires of consid- erable extent. The law provides se- we're penalties for the starting of for est fires, and there is a strong disposi- tion to enforce it.

 Running in front of a trolley car in Danbury, Sunday, Charles Pardee, Il years old, was run over and his right | ankle so badly crushed that amputa- tion was necessary. The only expla- | nation seems to be that he did not | realize how close the car was. He darted toward the track when the car was only a few feet away. He is now in a comfortable condition, with excel lent prospects for. recovery. Milk Stealing Cases Nolled. The cases against Thomas A. Bren- nan, a member of the Stamford Com mon Council, and four other men, charged with stealing milk, were nolled in the Police court Monday on pay ment of $5 costs each Brennan was taken to a SanitaI'fum.

 Darien's Famous Case.
 In the trial of Carl w. Miller. of the Springdale section, Darien, Friday aft ernoon, Justice William H. willmott found probable cause and bound the accused over to the Superior court, un- der bond of s300 which was fur nfshed by a man named Green. MH- Ter was charged with scattering pois- grounds, the claim being that his ob- ject was to exterminate dogs. The complaint was gotten out against MIL Ter by Grand Juror Bert Jackson. It is said that the best of feeling has not existed between the two men for a long time. Last year Miller brought civil suit against Jackson, charging him with islander, and previously to Jackson, however, insists that there was no personal animus in his present case against Miller, though he express es the opinion that Miller poisoned his dog last fall.
 Not An April-Fool Joke.
 It cost Herman Hoefer of Darien 5000 Thursday, because he thought an April-fool joke was being played on him when he was told that his ice house was on fire. MT. Hoefer had been burning brush about the ice house. An automobilist who was passing the ice house stopped and told MT. Hoefer that the building was afire. Thinking the motor-car man was sim ply working off one of the days jokes he paid no attention Some time later, when the flames had gained great headway, neighborS told him that in fact the ice house was being de- stroyed.

There are other peculiar features in Congressional action upon fhis tariff bill. Perhaps the most not able is the fact that Democratic mem bers of the Finance committee of the senate are excluded from hearings giv- ea by it. This seems to be a direct violation of the rights of members, and o1so of common sense. It is, however, hf1t a sample of the high-handed pro- cedure which seems inseparable from Republican rule.
