MUSCULAR
RHEUMATISM
This Michigan Woman Suf-
fered for Two Years.
Now She Is Strong and Healthy and
Owes Her Recovery Entiseiy to
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

Years ago when medical science was
less advanced rheumatic sufferers were
given something TO rub on the tender
Joints and muscles. Some people who
do not know any better still stick TO
the old fashioned way, but it does not
cure their rheumatism and never will.
When the rheumatic poison is driven
from the blood the rheumatism cured.
The thing is 10 get the right medicine
10 drive the poison out. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills have cured more cases OF
rheumatism than oil any other disease
except anPmia. They do this because
they enrich the blood supply, thus ton
ing up the system TO u point where the
rheumatic poison is expelled through
the natural channels and the trouble
disappears.
Ms. May Buchanan, whose ADDRESSES
r. +. u. No. 10, Sparta, Mich, gives
n brief account OF her cure, as follows:
~ suffered Tor the greater part OF
two wears from muscular rheumatism,
which was fastened in my ease by eX-
posure to cold and overwork. | had
no appetite, was weak and nervous,
couldn do my work and Tor several
weeks was confined to bed. The pains
were dull and aching and were very la
tense IN my hips.
Il was under the doctors care for a
long time but his medicine did not
help me. | read about DR. Williams
Pink Pills in book and gave them a
trial. The first few boxes relieved me
and in a lew weeks / was cured. L
have good appetite and am strong
and healthy.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have also
cured anaInia, chlorosis, general de-
bility, after-eh'eets OF the grip and levers
and should be given a trial wherever a
tonic for the blood and nerves is needed.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are always
the same and are sold only in packages
bearing the well-known trademark
A copy OF our new booklet, Diseases
OF the Blood containing full iniorma-
ton about this treatment Will be sent
free upon request. 1t should be read
by every sufferer from impoverished
blood. -
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent by mail, postpaid,
ON receipt OF price, so cents per box;
xix boxes for s. so, by the DR.. Williams

bic that the proposed series OF games
between teams representing the. differ

Though tie mercury dropped to % degrees in the orange district early Tuesday morning the trees were prac- tically uninjured A few growers state that some of the leaves were curled slightly but there was no damage worth mentioning. Several growers lighted smudges and their trees escaped with out so much as eurled lead tip.
 The lowest temperature of last win ter was 2e degrees and the results were quite serious for the cold was prolonged. The thcsmo:nefer remained at 22 only a short -ime Tuesday morn ing. not long enough to cause serious results. Early in the forenoon the at- mosphere warmed perceptibly. A tenn perature of 22. say the growers. is not dangerous to orange trees if it does not last too long.
 Only a few growers have placed smudges in their groves since the un- precedented cold of last winter Hany, however. will do so before another win ter sets in. While smudges are ex- pensive to install and also to keep burning. they will save their cost in one cold snap

4 COcH|sE WITNESS
 PRISONER FOR LIFE
Application for Writ of i.beas Corpus
 for Henry sonadims.

Attorney w B. Cleary of Bisbee yes-' terday filed in the office of the clerk of the supreme court an application for a writ of habeas corpus for Henry Bonadima. who is held in the sum of $500 as witness in murder case in Co., chise county.
 About the middle of last month Por- ter Bowling and Don H. Foulk were fatally stabbed one night at Bisbee by two or more men supposed to be Itali- ans. and Ernest Duber was seriously wonded.
 A day or two later. Bonadima, Nick Pulaski. Tony Sessotti. Pete Ravaglia and Baptisto Marinoni were charged with the crime. Bonadima. Sessotti and Pulaski were Arrested. but the lat ter two escaped and have not since been heard of.
 At preliminary examination of the three men in custody it was determined that they had nothing to do with the killing. but 1t was supposed that they knew something of it and all three were held as witnesses in the sum of $500 each.
 The application for the writ is based on several grounds. One is that there was no examination of anybody as to reasons why the witnesses might not appear when they might be wanted. It is alleged that the commitment of the men Is defective in that it does not state the case in which their tes- timony is wanted It is urged too that nobody has been bound over for the crime and that the supposed murderers have not been arrested and may never be taken into custody. Therefore it Is claimed that the period of the deten- ton of the witnesses is indefinite. AS in Kathleen Mavourneen'' it may be for years and it may be forever" as the applicant cannot raise the amount of the bond and in his present situa- ton he is incapable of earning any thing
