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. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 10th day of July, 1900. JUSTIN GATES, Notary Public. In and for the city and county of San Francisco, state of California.. All the elements necessary to give new life and richness to tha blood and restate shattered nerves are contained, in a condensed form, in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. , Tbey are also a specifio for troubles peculiar to females such as suppressions, irregular ities aud all forms of weakness.

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.
