To mnke a mad dog to order, tie a tin pan

after Buttering 10, 15 or 20 years with rheu
matism, finds that by the use of a bottle of
St. Jacobs Oil he is cured, lie feels the
waste of his life in pain, with the loss of
time, place anil money, and then re.lects
that for the expense of flOc. he could have
saved nil this and lived free of pain; it is
enough to make him mad. Most of our suf
ferings are intensiiicd by dchiv in seeking
relief, mill there is much worth knowing as
regards the cure of pain that we mid out at
last only by the use of the best cure. It is
worth knowing that for the cure of rheu
matism there is a special virtue in The
Great Kcmedy for Piun, St. Jacobs Oil, and
as so much can be saved by its use, the cost
is really nothing.

learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure In all its
stages, and that ia Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure knows to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu
tional disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken Internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the
toundationof the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors nave so much faith in its curative
powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case that it fails to cure, bend for list

The theory of the earth as a conduc
tor is discussed in a recent issue of the
American Electrician by Dr. Bell, and
the 'conclusion arrived ut that the con
ductivity, of the earth is so meager that,
exoept in the easo of very high voltages
or very minute currents, it is quite in
significant in practical affairs; in rail
way return circuits the earth return
does much more harm than good; for
power service the earth is useless as a
return, and in telegraphy alone does it
appear likely to serve a permanently
useful purpose. This is in marked com
parison with the idea formerly preva
lent and used in the calculation of
ground return circuits that the conduc
tivity of the earth is infinite.

Paralyzed for Years.
A CARPENTER SPENDS MANY
MONTHS IN BED-PHYSICIANS
DO HIM LITTLE GOOD.
PARALYSIS CAME FItO.H A FALL.
From the Express, Los Angeles, California.
Just think of a busy, hardworking
man paralyzed in the midst of his ca
reer, and rendered useless.
That was the misfortune that befell
James A. Jones, of 1003 Alpine street,
Los Angeles, Cal., in September, 1891.
Mr. Jones was born in the state whore
many of the presidents come from
Ohio, but spent the greater part of his
life during his younger years in Iowa,
from which place he went to Colorado,
and in 1882 came to Los Angeles. It
was a small place then, before the
boom came along and pushed us for
ward a century in the road of progress,
and Mr. Jones followed his occupation
of carpenter and builder. While at
work in September, 1801, he received a
fall which jarred him considerably and
he became confined to his bed. Shortly
after lie lost the use of the lower part
of his body entirely, and his legs be
came a dead weight. A plaster cunt
was put upon him by the doctors and
they worked over him and did all
things possible to assist his recovery.
But he remained in the same condition.
In April, 1893, he began to take Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
The following June he noticed that he
oould move his toes, and July 4, 1893,
be got up out of bed and later in the
month was able to walk without
crutches. Shortly after, still continu
ing the pills he went to work at his
trade at Whittier's, where he sustained
a fall and again injured himself and
had to go to bed and the dread paraly
sis came on again. Again the doctors
worked with him but without relief,
and he once more began to take Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. The doctors had
given him bromides and iodides, but
without effect. Again the pills drove
the paralysis into the background. He
said "I took them in accordance with
directions, and in connection with the
use of cold sponge baths, found they
were exceedingly benefioial. "
Mr. Jones is now able to walk again,
and he feels that the pills are the only
thing that has done him any good. In
this connection he said: "The doctors
who have treated me have done every
thing in their power, but without
effect, and it does seem marvelous that
paralysis should be overcome by these
little pills. But that has been my ex
perience. If anyone doubts it let him
write to me or come and see me and I
will tell them the story."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in
a condensed form, all the elements nec
essary to give new life and richness to
the blood and restore shattered nerves.
They are an unfailing specific for such
diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial
paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica,
neuraliga, rheumatism, nervous head
ache, the after effect of la grippe, pal
pitation of the heart, pale and sallow
complexion, all forms of weakness
either in male or female. Pink Pills
are sold by all dealers, or will be sent
postpaid on receipt of price, 60 cents a
box or six boxes for $2.50 (they are
never sold in bulk or by the 100), by
addressing Dr. Williams' Medicine
Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

Will Shoot Sixteen Miles.
The Wntervleit arsenul, near Troy,
has begun work preliminary to the
casting of the largest gun In the Uni
ted States. It Is to be of slxteeu-luch
bore. The United States has built
two of the larger caliber for coast de
fenses, but they were old-fashioned
smooth-bores, and not to be compared
to the new gun lu size, weight or any
thing except caliber. There are two
twenty-Inch guns, one of which is
mounted at Fort Hamilton, and one of
which lies on the ordnance dock at
Governor's island. These guns were
not startling successes. ' The oue at
Fort Hamilton has been fired a few
times, and each time Its recoil has
raised the very dickens with its car
riage. The new gnu will he nearly fifty feet
long (to be accurate, 49.07 feet), will
have a range of sixteen miles and be
able to penetrate'tweuty-seven and one
half inches of the best Bteel armor at
a distance of two miles. The guu will
weigh 125 tons and It will throw a
solid armor-piercing projectile weigh
ing 2,370 pounds. When the projectile
leaves the muzzle of the gun It will be
traveling at the rate of 2,000 feet a

steel thirty-three Inches In thickness
were placed near the muzzle of the gun
It would be penetrated by the flying

This gun, mounted at Fort Wads

MODJESKA THE GRAND.
Found Paine's Celery Compound
the Best of Remedies
For the Nervous Exhaustion Consequent Upon
Her Arduous Work The Remarkable Artiste
Who Stands Pre-Eminently at the Head of Her
Profession.
The news of Modjeska's recovery
from the recent severe sickness that
compelled her to leave the stage will be
a source of congratulation to the whole
world.
Modjeska, in a letter to Wells, Kich
ardson & Company, says she has found
(what thousands of people in every sta-
tion of life have so often heartily testi
fied) that Paine's celery compound is
the very best of all remedies for nerv
ous exhaustion.
Joseph Haworth rightly calls Mod
jeska "the peerless queen of artists."
Modjeska's health is a matter of
world-wide interest, and her testimo
nial to the value of the great remedy
which makes people well is of particu
lar moment in the early spring, when
from every quarter reports come of
men, women and ohildren who are tak
ing Pain's celery compound, and are
gaining in nervous vigor, weight and
every other indication of better health.
The thoughful portion of the com
munity knows the need of purifying
the blood and regulatinng the nervous
and alimentary systems as spring comes
on.
There is the danger that in their
eagerness to take a spring remedy a

a host more of prominent men and
women, including no less than five U.
S. congressmen, are among the thou
sands of grateful people who have re
cently sent to the proprietors of thiit
wonderful remedy their expression of
its unequaled value men and women
who oan well afford, and do command,
the highest medical adyice in the
country.
And then also the people in the ordi
nary walks of life thero come thou-
sands of honest, straighforward, heart-'
felt letters, telling how Paine's celery
compound hits made them well.
Their testimony simply goes to show
what New England's most vigorous ed
itor bo aptly said in a letter telling of
the benefit Paine's celery compound
had been to a member of his family:
"Paine's celery compound is not a
patent meduine; it is not asarsaparilla;
it is not a mere tonic; it is not an or
dinary norvine it is as far beyond them
all as tho diamond is superior to cheap
glass."
It makes people well. It is the one
true specific recognizad and prescribed
today by eminent practitioners for dig
eases arising from a debilitated nervoul
system. Prof. Phelps gave to his pro
fession a positive cure for sleepless
ness, wasting strength, dyspepsia, bil
iousness, liver complaint, neuralgia,
rheumatism, all nervous diseases and
kidney troubles. For all such com
plaints Paine's ecle,ry compound hai
succeeded again and again, where ev
erything else Inn failed.
When Modjeska in a letter published
in Boston said: "I have found Paine's
celery compound the very best of all
remedies for the nervous exhaustion
consequent uixm the arduous work of
my profession," she voiced the experi
ence of every tired-out, run-down, ex
hausted woman whoever went to this
greatest of all spring remedies for
relief.
No one ever yet failed to find strength
and health returning who faithfully
used nature's true remedy Paine's cel
ery compound.
