THK TWO WOMEN CASTING OCT DEVILS.
Ice every evening These services aro call-
ad H oly Ghost meetings, and at such times
tbe spirit Is supposed to be especially pres
ent.
A t tho H oly Ghost m eeting on Tuesday
evening, when those present had become
filled w ith the spirit, a large, portly Ger-
man woman suddenly arose tn her scat
and began to talk and gesticulate.
“ Come forwt rd, sister; come forw ard,”

She did go forward hut on the way sho

in g that tbo woman was greatly excited
and wishing to avoid a scene, he arose and
accompanied her to tbe altar. N o sooner
had ibn reached that place than she turned
about, crying:
“ Open tho doors, whilo I cast out this
d ev il.”
Now, Mr. Forgy Isn 't a devil. Neither
has ho tho appearance of ono. H e also ob

nr being himself cast out and started to

tho woman, who turned suddenly upon
him and began claw ing him in the face.

her attention to the other members o f the

It falls to our lot this week to tell our
readers, and especially those who are not
blessed with perfect health, of one of the
greatest and Bimpiest remedies of the
century. Personally we enjoy the very
best of health year in and year out, but
among our friends is J. L. Myers, pro
prietor of the Broadway Pharmacy, a
man who knows his business thorough
ly, is entirely wedded to chemistry and
hygiene and often “ talks shop.” One
evening the conversation turned on nen
discoveries in drugs.
H e told us that one of our mutual
friends, John W vandt, a locomotive en
gineer, owed his health to a new medi
cine known as Dr. W illiam s’ Pink Pills,
and that Mrs. Lawler, the wife of Patrick
Lawler, cooper at the Tannin E x trad
Works, and weil-known in this city, hat
been raised by them from what hei
friends thought was her death bed.
H aving had our attention called to the
matter so paiticularly we have sine«
found that everybody has a good word
ior Pink Pills, and especially were we
interested in the case of Mrs. Lawler
Finally we called at her home and asked
her to tell us if Pink Pills had realh
done as much for her as had been told.
She said they had, and she would re
peat the la d s to me.
Mrs. Lawler said: “ Two years and s

“ Since that time I have been well and
have done my own work, and now when
I feel worn out or ill I always take Pink
Pills and they help me at once. I have
in the two years and a half used twenty
one boxes of them, and we all use them
when we are feeling out of sorts. I have
recommended them to many of my
friends, and they always helped them
and I can say to all mothers that they
will find them a good medicine to build
them up, cure headaches, dizziness and

Whisky, cigars aud tuoacco, too, to
