J was a sufferer nt stomach trouble, caused by overwork, for about two rears. My appetite was very poor and oould not eat much of anything. H matter what I ate, my stomach became sour and gas would form on It, cauatng hortneaa of breath and affecting my heart I had to diet and eat only the lightest food. For months I did not know, what a good night's rest meant. I had frequent dlssy spells and would faint at the least excitement. My head ached almost continually and my heart action was alow and irregular. I waa weak and , thin and In every way was extremely wretched. At one time I was confined to bed for three weeks. "I ..had begun to despair of" getting well as I had been treated by many doctora and anent a great deal of money In medicines and had received little or no help. Finally my sister became alarmrtd 'at my failure to get well and begged me to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial. Juat to humor her bought four boxes of the pllla. Beforo I had taken 4he pills a month I felt much better, both mentally and pnysl caHy. My nerves became stronger, my heart action was mcce steady and the distressing symptoms were lessened. My appetite Increased and I soon be came well and strong. Since using the illls I have regained my weight, i sun lake a few. doses of the Dills occasion ally to tons me up.

His was the' duty of working up the vast amount of detail used in the argument before the federal court here. ana ms was iso ine auiy ui opening extending over two days. Mr. Townsena began work on the case 'more than IS months ago, before Mr. Becker's connection with it as special prosecutor. He appeared before con gress last winter asking for and suc ceeding in obtaining special provision for the institution of the suit against the present holders of the orglnai land grants. A rigid Investigation of all the evidence In the case was also made by Mr. Townsend. . In view of his intimacy with the case and the belief that he would be willing to serve, Mr. Townsend's appointment as special prosecutor is considered ex-; tremely prooaoie' by local authorities. Mr. McCourt is known to approve highly the work done by Mr. Townsend and to feel- very frlehdly toward him personally, and would advise his ap pointment.
