RESULT OF A FALL.
SAN FRAKfHCO ATTORNEY FALLS
FRCSf PLATFORM OP STREET
CAR STRICKEN WITH
PARALYSIS.
hoek to the Hyitera Brings on Kervous
Prostration How a Core Was
Affected.'
Volumes might be written in praise
of a popular remedy for the creating of
rich, new blood and tbe up-building
of a worn out body, but it is doubtful
if anything half so convincing could be
demonstrated as is done by the inter
esting etory related by Mr. Edward T.
Dudley, a practicing attorney for 25
yeara in San Francisco, with offices at
83 City Hall avenue. Twelve years
ago, when 89 yeara oi age, Mr. Dudley
lost bia balance while standing upon
tbe rear platform of a street car, caus
ing bim to fall, striking the ground
with tbe back of bia head, which
brought on a feeling of numbness and
eventually paralysia, loss of memory
and strength which, however, haa
yielded to proper treatment as explain
ed by bim hereafter.
Feeling thankful for tbe good done
bim and realizing many others are in
a similar condition, Ml. Dudley volun
tarily tells ot the benefits in his own
way which is given without color or
embellishment as follows:
"After the fall from the car I passed
it by as an accident that bad left no
apparent ill effects; yet a few weeks
later, in eudeavo.ing to get on a car, I
found I conld not raise my foot. From
this time paralysis began in my feet
and in time my lower limba became
numb. I became pale aa a ghost and
it brought on a bloodless condition of
my system. From being a strong,
healthy man of 180 pounds, I waa re
duced to 145 pounds, and my doctor
told my wile tbat it waa only a ques
tion of time when I should have to take
to my bed. My wife asked if waa I
going to die, and be said, 'No, but tbe
chances are that he will he on tbe flat
of bia back for 20 yeara.' I thought I
wonld fool bim. Medicines prescribed
by tbe doctors and taken by me did no
good, and my system was so drained,
my blood so impoverished aud I was
so debilitated that at the time I started
to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People, if I fell down I could not
possibly get np again unassisted. I
could scarcely walk a block. Now I
can walk three or four miles without
fatigue and as yon see, can lift my
leg and am altogether a different man
and all from eight or nine boxes of
Dr. Williams' Fills. About three
years ago I saw Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills advertised In a San Francisco
paper aud decided to try them, and
from what 1 have told you of my con
dition, yon can imagine how weak and
pale I was.
"After trying Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, I could see in a very short time
that I was picking np color and my
health and general system was much
improved. I did not change my diet,
nor did I take any other medicine, aud
I can assert that aa a blood maker and
builder np of the system, they are in
valuable, aa my increase in weight
from 145 to 16; pounds I can lay to
nothing else than Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills.
"I have reoommended them to hun
dreds whose blood waa impoverished,
whose system was run down and who
needed building up, and shall continue
to do so, as I believe tbey are the best
medicine in tbe world for that pur
pose." Signed, EDWARD T. DUDLEY.

rROOPS TO QUIT BEFORE WINTEB
Chinese Capital Is an Empty Prise-.
Wobably I.ast Aggressive Aeft
of the American Force.
Chicago, Sept. 25. The Recoid baa
j the following ' from Pekin, under data
Df September 16:
Changes in tbe plans of the allied
commanders indicate tbe evafcuation of
Pekin before tbe winter setB in. Tha
British leaders have countermanded tbe
order for extensive winter supplies aud
the Americans are also making evident
preparations for departure. At the'
same time all foreign residents have
been warned to prepare to leave Pekin.
The German legation will soon move
elsewhere and tbe Russians are already
withdrawing to Tien Tsin and differ-
1 ent stations in Manchuria. It ia also
extremely likely tbat the Japanese
will make the town of Nagasaki tbeir
winter base instead of some Chinese .
town aa waa originally their intention.
The missionaries are protesting
against tbia "desertion."
' From North China come reports of a
long series of disturbances. Tbe at
tempted control of tbe local authorities
there is synonymona with anarchy and
tbe country ia only safe where floats
tbe allied flags. Native Christians are
still being attacked and besieged in
many different places in tbe province
of Chi Li.
Tbe allies are beginning to realize
tbat tbe oity of Pekin ia, after all, an
empty prize.' Communication between
tbe foreign forces, tbe envoys and tha
empress government is next to impossi
ble. The new capital in the piovince
jf Shen Si is 400 miles from Pekin and
tbe journey has to be made by cart,
which requires at least 60 days.
There has been . a change in tht
American front in the direction of an
aggressiveness which will probably be
the last important demonstration before ;
the evacuation. General Wilson, witb
BOO United Slates infantry, 600 Brit
ish and six guns, slightly aided by a
German column, marched against the
Boxer city of Pel Ta Chu, 16 miles
northwest of Pekin, and surrounded it
with tbe intention of capturing an
arsenal there. A courier reports to
day that General Wilson's attack was
successful from the first. There wers .
no losses on the foreign side. ,
For tba present all campaign plans
mean guerilla warfare. Both the mili- .
tary and the topographical situation in
China forbid anvthing else. v
- Efforts at pacification have resulted
in the return of a small number of peo
ple to business. The jealous guarding
of the forbidden city by the allies
makes tbe Chinese believe that the :
foreign leaders are afraid to desecrate
it. :' V : ' .
The American authorities here in
tend to urge the severe punishment of
the persons guilty of the Pao Ting Fu
murders. Summary vengeance will,
if they can effect it, be exacted for the '
ilaugbter of tbe Simooxes and tha
Hodges and Pitkin party.
Mnch Property Destroyed. ' v
Scranton, Texas, Sept. 25. A cloud
burst in the valley ot the Neuces river v
Saturday night did much damage to
property, and also, according to re
ports received here, resulted in loss ol
life on ranches in that vicinity. : Tha .
Neuces at Uvalde rose 25 feet in two
hours time and broke the bridges. A
number of ranches were inundated and
one English Bheepman, Ethelbert Mac

man of the Second district. New York,
has been wandering aimlessly over tbe
country since early in July. Yester- ,
day he appeared at police headquarters
attired in overalls and jumper, his ,
hands calloused from hard work, and
asked to have his wife communicated
with and told of bis condition. He
remembered nothing since the Fourth '

until he suddenly realized while stroll

was in a strange city. He attributes -his
