RHEUMATISM
Caused by an Impure Condition
of the Blood How It May
Be Permanently Cured.
From the Mirror, Manchester, IV. H.
Although rheumatism is one of the
most painful and dangerous of the
many troubles which afflict mankind,
it can be permanently cured if a prop'
er course of treatment is taken. The
real cause of rheumatism is the pres
ence of acid in the blood and the
only cure is to purify, nourish and
strengthen this vital fluid. The best
specific yet discovered for this purpose
is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People and the number of cures they
have enected in cases of this stubborn
disease is wonderful Mrs. S. D,
Loveland, of No. 133 West Hancock
street, Manchester, N. H., was cured
of a severe attack of rheumatism by
the use of this remedy, she says :
"Several years ago one of my knees
was injured by a fall. About the first
of June, 1897, rheumatism set in and
at last got so bad that I could not
bend my knee. It was very painful
and I was unable to move about. I
tried various remedies, but not one of
them reheevd me in any way.
"In the latter part of August.
nearly three months after the pain
ana stillness began, a friend, Mrs,
Bothwell, of Everett, Mass., told me
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People. I willingly gave them a trial
and experienced relief m a few days.
I continued until I had taken three
boxes and was able to bend the knee
and go up and down stairs without
difficulty. I have' since taken the
pills a number of times for other
troubles and always with good results.
"I have recommended Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale Peonle many times.
I have not learned with what effect
they were taken, excepting in the case
of two of my relatives and a young
woman living in my family, each of
whom was greatly benefitted. I feel
that I cannot say too much in favor
ot the pills.

What They Do.
Several women have taken up index
ing. Their patrons are people who
keep scrapbooks, and who are too busy,
or, as is more often the case, too negli
gent, to index for themselves. The
work is slow and laborious. It de
mands a wide literary knowledge and
often a knowledge of French and Ger
man. The pay is moderate, being usu
ally $3 a day.
Artistic and fancy bookbinding is
practiced by eight or ten women In
New York city. This is a skilled trade,
of the highest class, demanding both
technical skill and artistic ability. Two
of the binders have done such good
work as to make them moderately fa
mous. A Vassar girl with a penchant for
chemistry found herself thrown upon
her own resources three years ago, and
adopted for her daily work the giving

matter, but in truth it is very complex.
It involves a knowledge of the various
fats and oils, including spermaceti, co

An American Career.
In 1867, In the graduating class of
the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute,
was a youth of 17, named Charles R.
Flint He was born in Maine, but
raised in the City of Churches. At
that time he had earned an enviable
reputation for Indomitable application
and enormous power of work. He was
not a brilliant scholar or speaker, but
In the Milton Literary Club, composed
of the brightest students of the Insti
tute, he was regarded as one of its
ablest members. After graduation, he
entered into commercial life, and be
came first a clerk and then a junior
partner in a small shipping house
known as William R. Grace & Co. The
firm had an unpretentious office in
downtown New York, and was Insig
nificant compared with the older and
larger houses of .the neighborhood. Yet
through the genius of its members, and
especially of Flint It was destined to
become a great financial power, and its
members to be multi-millionaires. The
young man applied to business the
same principles that had made him
successful in the Institute. Within ten
years he was a wealthy man. At 40 he
was worth more than a million; to-day
he is ranked among the great capital
ists of the world. Frank Leslie's Pop
ular Monthly.
An Early Impression.
"People ought to be mighty careful
about the way they educate their chil
dren," said Senator Sorghum.
"I suppose there are many things you
would arrange differently if you could
go back and superintend your own
ohildhood?"
"Yes. - For instance, my thoughtless
teachers sat me down In front of a copy
book and made me write 'Honesty is
the best policy' over and over again.
They dinned it into me so hard that my
young spirit revolted, and I have had
an aversion to that motto ever since."

The Duty
of Mothers
What suffering' frequently results
from a mother's ignorance ; or more
frequently from a mother's neglect to
properly instruct her daughter 1
Tradition says "woman must suf
fer," and young women are so taught
There is a little truth and a great Seal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs treat
ment, and her mother should see that
he gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina
tion : but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham's Laboratory
at Lynn, Mass., and secure from a
woman the most efficient advice with
out charge.
Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South
Byron, Wis., mother of the young lady
whose portrait we here publish, wrote
in January, 1899, saying her daughter
had suffered for two years with irreg
ular menstruation had headache all
the time, and pain in her side, feet
swelled, and was generally miserable.
She received an answer promptly with
advice, and under date of March, 1899,
the mother writes again that Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cured
her daughter of all pains and irregu
larity. Nothing in the world equals Lydia B.
Pinkham's great medicine for regu
lating woman's peculiar monthly
troubles. V

INJURED A SOLDIER'S SIGHT.
Modern Lonar-Kanare Blflea Are Hart
fal to Those Who Use Them.
"The modern long-range military rifle
is going to develop near-sighted sol
dieds if no precautions are taken," said
a New Orleans soldier who has seeu
service in the late campaign. "The ne
cessity of straining the eyes upon a tar
get a mile or more away Is as certain
to produce the result as 2 and 2 make
4, and It is a significant fact that quite
a number of men have already been re
lieved from duty In the Philippines on
account of 'defective vision.' The na
ture of the defect is not stated, but it
was evidently acquired since the sol
diers entered the service, for they are
subjected to a searching optical exam
ination upon enlistment and I hazard
the guess that most of the present trou
ble is due to overstrain In long-distance
shooting. The Japanese army surgeons
have anticipated the' danger, and the
troops sent to China were all supplied
with small, compact, field-glasses as
part of their regular accouterment
"I read in a technical journal the
other day that the glasses only cost 78
cents apiece, so they couldn't have
amounted to very muchj but they were
better than nothing. At the same time,"
continued the physician, "no field
glass meets the difficulty. , At best it
merely permits the soldiers to examine
the target in detail before he picks up
uis gun, and to draw a bead he is abso
lutely compelled to do -more or less
squinting and strain! 112 over the sie-hts.
The proper appliance would be a very
ugnt, modified fieldglass that could be
fastened over the eyes and used In ac
tually taking aim. I am convinced that
such a glass will be .perfected and in
use In the near future. It presents no
great problem, and all the mountings,
if desired, could be made out of pressed
paper, so that the chief weight would
be the lenses. In fact it need not be
much heavier than a pair of old-fashioned
iron-bowed spectacles, and still
have sufficient magnifying power to
enable a soldier to sight his rifle with
ease upon an object at maximum range.
I admit added the doctor, "that a regi
ment with its glasses on would present
rather a ludicrous picture, but the in
strument is one of the clear necessities
of present conditions, and it is bound
to come." New Orleans Times-Democrat

A. Promoter's Humor.
Charles R. Flint has a quaint Yankee
humor which is as well developed to
day as in his school' years. In the
Polytechnic Institute the markings
were on the basis of one hundred and
were bulletined monthly." One day a
group of boys were looking at the new
bulletin, oh which one of the hopeless
dullards of the class was marked
sixty-six. -
Flint said' slowly: .
"Sixty-six, that's the very number of
our year, and I hope when we get to
'99 Jack will receive that figure!"
Once a sanctimonious person re
marked: "Children should never be allowed to
play with toys on Sunday!"
'May they not play with religious
toys?" he queried.
"There are no religious toys, sir!"
"Excuse me, there are!":
"What are they, then, sir?"
"Noah's arks."

the house. .
When it was put into her arms, this
real live baby, the 5-year-old surveyed
it with a critical eye.
'Isn't that a nice baby?-cried the
nurse, with the . Joyous pride with
which a nurse always regards a new
baby, in which she feels that she has a
proprietary interest
'Yes," replied the little girl, hesitat
ingly, 'It's nice, but its head's loose."
A gossip never does much harm un
less she has an appreciative audience.
