ALPERT MAKES DENIAL.
Says He Didn't Advise 6rahes To
Give PerIured Testimony.

Daniel ]. Alpert, accused by Charles
Brahes OF inducing him TO give per
jured testimony in a damage suit
against the ID. U. r., makes the fol-
lowing answer:
The statement made by Charles
Brahes TO the effect that / advised
him 10 commit perjury In his suit for
damages against the Detroit United
railway Is absolutely false. handled
the case before Justice OFT and all
that I knew about II was what he and
other witnesses that he produced told
me. He produced a hand rail from the
car. which he alleged became loosen
ed while he was hanging on to II and
threw him TO the street. He informed
me that DR.. George G. Duggan had
treated him and that his bill was $25.
I asked him several times TO bring
this bill TO me. but he did not do so.
His employer informed that he was
away from work for three weeks as
result OF this accident and so tes-
titled in the suit I tried the case up
on the allegations as presented TO me
by Brahes and his witnesses and
did not in any manner advise or In
duce him TO testify TO anything but
the truth.
when / tried this case | supposed
that the testimony produced was true
and Brahes assured me after he was
arrested that IL was true and produc-
a bottle OF medicine which he claim
ed he had obtained upon a prescrip-
tion OF DR.. Duggan.
II acted In entire good faith I'm this
matter and | am now preparing a pc
tition to the circuit court judges ask

PARALYSIS YIELDS TO M.
DIR. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS
Many Forms of the Dread Disease
Are Durable by this Remedy
MR.. LUCASSAYSIT SAVED HISLIFE
This Cleveland Man Getting Worse All the Time When HI
Began the Treatment but Improvement Quickly Followed
Read His Grateful Statement.

Fresh proof is furnished almost
daily OF the wonderful power OF DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
in the treatment OF the most severe
nervous disorders. No claim Is made
for the treatment that is not substan-
tiated by proof that is open TO the
most rigid investigation and the evil
dence is indisputable that there are
many forms OF paralysis that are
readily durable by these tonic pills.
In cases that are not entirely durable
the use OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills
often results in such radical improve
ment that life is once more mado
worth living to the formerly hope
less sufferer.
The evidence upon which the
claims OF this remedy is based is not
confined TO single cure. All over
the United States there are men and
women going about their daily oc-
cupations with little or no inconven-
ience. who, before taking the treat
meht, had been declared beyond the
help of medicine. No sufferer from
a severe nervous disorder who has
not tried DR.. Williams Pink Pills
should abandon hope, for the remedy
that has brought about these marvel
Gus results for others Is surely en-
titled to a thorough trial
The Latest Evidence.
The most recent case TO come to
public attention is that OF Mr.. d. l..
Lucas, of No. 21S3 East l03rd street,
Cleveland. Ohio, a man we'll known
In real estate circles in that city. He
had a remarkable escape from death
as is shown by the following state
ment:
MY trouble started with a stomach
disorder, but believe that malarial
poisoning was the original cause and
this was the opinion OF the doctors
who attended me. Creeping paralysis

condition OF my health and | came
very near TO death. During the
greater part OF my sickness ! could
get about the house by holding on TO
articles OF furniture but at times was
confined to my bed.

"The paralysis came on slowly but
was never complete. | had trouble
with my kidneys and my liver was
torpid all the time. My lower limbs
shrunk perceptibly, ! suffered some
with shooting pains, my appetite was
feeble and I was altogether In a ter
rible condition.
