DEBILITY OFTEN
CAUSES SC|AT|CA
Audit Is Necessary TO Restore
the General Health Before
the Sciatic Pains vii
Cease.

The reason that sciatica so often re-
ours after the ordinary treatment is NOT
because it is incurable but because these
treatments fail to remove it's cause.
Sclatlca is a form of neuralgia and has
been correctly called the cry OF the starry
ed nerves for better blood It's most
common cause is debility. In every case
OF sclatica it will be found that the gem
eral health is run down and that conse-
quently the nerves are not receiving
sufficient nourishment.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills afford the
most effective treatment for sciatica and
neuralgia. They build up the general
health and fully nourish the underfed
nerves IN the only possible way by build
ing up and purifying the blood.
Mrs. > ". Rapp, of r. F. D. No. 1,
South Omaha, Neb, says.
Several years ago was sufferer from
sclatlca which followed a general run
down condition and exposure to wet and
dampness. The pains started in my
hands, which had sort of pricking sem
satlon like needles were being thrust into
them, AS the disease grew worse the joints
OF my fingers became affected. They
were swollen and were so painful that
could hardly bear it. Gradually the dis
ease began to affect my limbs in the
same manner. They became terribly swol-
len and | had to give up my work. The
pains then spread all over my body and
were sharp and shooting They would
suddenly SHIFT from one part of the body
to another but fortunately did not seem
to affect my heart. For three months |
was propped up in a chair and had to be
waited on. i could not get any sleep and
was losing flesh all of the time.
THE doctor treated me for a long
time but did not give much relief al
the pains were as severe as ever when [
quit taking his medicine. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills were brought to my notice
while reading booklet and | made up
my mind to give them trial. The swell
ling soon went down and the pains were
less severe. was so encouraged that
kept on with the treatment until cured. ;"

that he would win four out of the
first seven games, most of those who
heard of his boast thought he was

In number Of cities over the coun-
Try there are lady BARRIERS, some shops
being manned by only the fair sex,
while others have both the fair and
sterner. In Kansas City there is a
woman barber shop of eight chairs, in
Wichita there is another shop run by
four young women.
In keokuk there isn't lady barber
shop, but the BARRIERS of Keokuk are
always ready to try something new to
persuade their customers, to-say
some new hair tonic for instance, or
new massage cream. Some one in
bad dream has seen woman shop
closed after run of three hours.

Pennsylvania went from to per cent,
the New York Central went from to 6

TWO DISCLOSURES
INTEREST TRADERS

Wall Street Is being treated to some
interesting sensations these days The
testimony in the Union Southern Pacific
case IS decidedly interesting. and it fur
nishes some confirmation for the theory
of the Street that stocks should be sold
when the market Is excessively strong
and bought when weakness is all-pre-
vailing. It also develops the well under
stood fact that it is hard TO guess the
plans Of the big fellows.
The testimony Of Mr.. Kahn to the
effect that 5000 shares Of Southern Pa
cific were liquidated by the Union Pa
cihc last August when the Street was
taken up with the segregation plan
for Union Pacific holdings, was sur
prfce-but the market was made for
the purpose But any statement to the
effect that Union was selling Southern
Pacific would have been laughed at,
when the sales were actually made.
Since then Union Pacific has hehabili-
tated its holdings and little more.
A few days ago the statement was
made that the Rockefeller holdings in
steel had been sold and that, too, when
prices were flirting around the COS
In some quarters this was taken TO
mean dissatisfaction with Morgan meth
ods. The Rockefeller millions were TO
disaDpear from the market.
And then the bull market developed,
v,-ben people were looking for the re-
verse Moreover Steel was the leader.
n is hard to guess the why's and the
v-herefores of Wall Street.
