George It. Hentlrir kon, a Well-known
Traveling Man, Describee a Nevei.
to-be-forgotten Expert nee
Thought lie ITn Going to
be Launched Iuto
Eternity.
From the Chronicle, San Francisco, Cat.
George K. Hendrickson, of 506 Mar
ket street, San Francisco, Cal., is one
of the best known commercial travelers
on the Purine coast. Mr. Heiulrickson
has grown gray in the service but his
frosted hair and patriarcliial beard are
due more to an experience he had about
three years ago, than to age.
"There was not much to hope for,"
said the old-time traveler when relat
ing his experience yesterday, "and I
never expected to take an order again.
It is not a pleasant thing to contem
plate, when walking along the street,
to be seized with a sinking spell and
think you are about to be launched
into eternity. That was the condition
of my existence for about six months.
The doctors told me that 1 was suffer
ing from nervous prostration. Well I
guess I was. I had had an attack of the
girppe, and my complaint was the re
sult of that disease. I consulted the
best physicians in the town and took
their medicine, but I grew no better.
My stomach went back on me and I
suffered all the ills that accompany
nervous disorders.
"While under the care of the doctors
I never knew what peace of mind was.
The least sound coming unexpectedly
threw me into a cold sweat, and caused
chills to run up and down my back. I
was subject to vertigo and every time 1 1
had an attack I feared that I would j
drop to the sidewalk a corpse. I began j
to think I would be better off if dead, j
when I came across Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills down in Lob Gatos. I have i
studied medicine and recognized the J
value of the pills very readily. I threw j
my last bottle ot medicine over the
bridge at Los Gatos and began to take
the pills. At once my condition began
to improve. I got relief from the start
and I determined to give the pills all
the chance in the world. I went home
and stayed there for three months, at
the end of which time I was a new
man, my health being completely re
stored." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in
a condensed form, all the elements
necessary to give new life and richness
to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are also a specific for
troubles peculiar to females, such aH
suppressions, irregularities, and all
forms of weakness. They build up the
blood, and restore the glow of health to
pale and sallow cheeks. In men they
effect a raidical cure in all cases arising
from mental worry, overwork or ex
cesses of whatever nature. Pink Pills
are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk)
at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50,
and may be had of all druggists, or di
rect by mail from Dr. Williams' Medi
cine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

In the co-operative age the abnormal,
unhealthy and destructive growth ot
large cities will be done way with.
They are excrescences on the social
life, and have been the festering cause
of the decay and downfall of empires
and republic, from Solomon's time to
the present. Man's first home was hi
a garden, close to nature, and nowhere
else can he attain his best moral or In
tellectual development. In the co-operative
age the great factories and
storehouses of commerce will be taken
out of the pressure of the great cities
and placed where all workers by hand
or brain shall have an acre or two of
God's earth for home and garden. S.

Don't Worry.'
There Is but one way out of the diffi
culty. It is impossible to avoid all the
causes tor worry, for there is no day
that docs not bring Its share, but the
trouble lies In the fact that so many
yield weakly to the depressions to
which nearly everyone is liable, and do
not make any effort to rise superior to
i their trials. Worry Is uot always the
j accompaniment of great troubles; It
more frequently arises from petty cares,
the constant Jar and fret of which in
time wears out the life. These can
surely be put aside If one has the will
to do so, and this Is most easily done by
substituting In their places thoughts of
other and better things, which will take
the mind out of self and selfish affairs
and turn It In other channels.

Victoria's Gold riate.
The gold plate at Windsor castle con

in the gold pantry, which is nu Iron
room situated ou the ground floar un

of the pantry gives It out in iron hexes
and receives a receipt for it. It is car
ried by special train, under escort of a
' guard of soldiers, and delivered to the
butler at Buckingham palace. He gives
a receipt for It and Is responsible for
It while it remains at the pal.ice. The
same formalities are observed In tak
ing It back, and all persons concerned
are glad when It is once more restored
to the safekeeping of the gold pantry.
The total value of the plate In this de

deal of it dates from the relgu of

are some pieces which were taken from

TBI LIVKKY OF HILtOlHNEHS
There is one direction, as Dr. George
F. Shrady, America's first Burgeon, dis
tinctly says, in which people seem to
need enlightenment at present more
than they have for many years past.
"This is the rational appreciation of
the danger of quackery and fake cures."
Dr. Shrady's article in the New York
World of Deo. 27 should be read by
every man and woman who is ever in
clined to listen to the nonsensical, but
too often plausible, raniblings of trad
ers in patent medicines.
When Prof. Edward K. Phelps, M.
D., LL. D. , of Dartmouth college, after
a long life of study in the most recent
scientific investigation of diseasi;
evolves the marvelous formula of
Paine's celery compound when afte
the closest possible observance by tlu
best practitioners it is found that this
greatest remedy of our generation not
only does all, but even accomplishes
more than the modest dootor the
giant among men that he has proved to
be more than he was willing at first
to claim when thousands of sufferers
in every walk of life, sufferers from
ailments that come from overwork, de
ranged digestive organs, impaired ner
vous systems, too poor or too rich liv
ing, inattention to hygienic laws, have
been absolutely restored to healtli. by
Paine's celery compound, after vainly
trying every other possible remedy, and
being dosed by well meaning but in
competent so-called physicians.
When this is taken into considera
tion, and at the sumo time we find hosts
of people still willing to be led astray
by the hundred and one nostrums
which irresponsible traders try to foist
upon them on the pretext that these
preparations are "ns good as Paine's
celery com pound' (but really becauss
they make a big profit on such prepara
tions), it is time for every one who
detests fraud to warn bis neighbors,
and take the warning himself, that
when ho goes to get a bottle of Paino't
celery compound he must not he whee
dled into taking some other remedy.
Paine's celery comHnnd mukes poo
pie well. These other things work
harm.
Paine's celery cotuiound is not a
latent medicine. Its formula is given
reely to every physician.
These trashy stuns that you ar
asked to buy are made up of ingredi
ents that should never be taken into a
sick stomach.
These ordinary nervines, tonics and
sarsaparillas are no more to be com
pared with Paine's celery compound
than a glimmering caudlo is to be com
pared with the wonderful iiiodnrn
search light.
If a person needs nerve tonic, a real
blood purifier, a reliable diuretic, that
will restore strength, renew vitality,
regulate the kidneys, liver and laiwela,
and make one well, let that person try
his or her first bottle of Paine's celery
compound and mark the wonderful re
