Two helper engines, a baggage car and a mail car were badly wrecked. A bo- bo on the soldier train was Instantly killed and another had his arm and leg broken. Engineer H. Wentz of the express train sustained serious in juries, and a number of passengers re ceived bruises. The locality of the wreck was a very sharp curve, and the two trains were moving at tbe rate of 20 miles an hour when the crash came. That so few casualties occurred is m<>st remarkable. Tbe blame for the accident seems to attach to the engineer of the soldier special train, who failed to note the time of the regular passenger train. Lucky Mr». West.

Mrs. Hedden’s experience is best given in her own words. She says: “For nearly a year I endured terrible agony caused by a general breaking down of tbe nervous system, female weakness and suppression of the periods. I suffered greatly with bearing down pains and was very weak and short of breath. My circulation was very bad, causing numbness of limbs, dizziness and headache all the time. My heart would sometimes feel as if there was a heavy weight on it. I had never been healthy and strong, bo you can readily see that I was in no condition to with stand such a combination of ailments. “I grew worse very rapidly and all the doctors I tried failed to check my decline. A friend of my husband told him how much good Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills had done his wife no I commenced taking them and can now state that they are the only relief I ever had. The first box helped me so much that I was thoroughly convinced of the efficacy of the remedy. I continued the treatment for several weeks, using six Is >xes in all. “In conclusion I will say that if any one, who is suffering the same as I was, will take Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills as di rected they wiU be rewarded.” Signed, NELLIE M.
