It is equally good for young and old. The money lost annually by skilled workmen of all occupation« figures up to millions of dollars and is becoming greater every year. This amount of money represents mainly time lost and the serious effect upon the social com­ fort of the workingmen and their fam­ ilies is evident. Mr. George V. Ham­ mond, of Tacoma, Wash., said the other day: “I have lost my share of time but I am thankful to sav tliat I have not been losing any of late.” “You don’t look a« if you had lost much through sickness.” “No, and I don’t feel so. But the fact remains that I was a very sick man. I took cold along in 1889 and rheumatism settled in my arm« and shoulders. I suffered for three years and nothing relieved me untill in April, 1892, upon the recommendation of my sister, I began the use of Dr. William«’ Pink Pills for Pale People ami found relief in the second box. I took five boxes in all and now am entirely cured and have had no occasion to use them since.” Mr. Hammond reside» at No. 610 N. Steele street, Tacoma, Wash., and at the request of the re|x>rter made affi­ davit to his above statement before James H. Dege, a notary public, on, July 5, 1901. There is a popular idea that rheuma- ! tism is caustxl by exposure to cold and that some localities are infected with it more than others. Such conditions I frequently promote the development of ' the disease, but, from the fact that rheumatism runs in certain families, it is shown to Ixi heriditary and, con­ sequently a disease of the blood. Frequently an individual, in whose family rheumatism has not occurred, develops the disease, and when a diag­ nosis of the case is made, it is general lv found that the ailment is due to a derangement of the blood. External applications may afford tem­ porary relief, but to cure the disease it is necessary to treat it through the blood. Dr. Williams’ Pink Tills for Tale People go directly to the seat of the dis­ order, pruifying and enriching the blood by eliminating poisonous ele­ ments and renewing health giving forces. They are a positive specific j not only for rheumatism, but for such | diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial ! paralysis, St. Vitus dance, sciatica, neu- I ralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache ; the aftereffects of grip or fevers, and of other acute diseases, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions and all forms of weakness, either in male or female. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People are sold by all dealers or will be sent postpaid on receipt of | price, fifty cents a box; six boxes, two ‘ dollars and fifty cents, by addresisng Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. Be sure to get the genuine; substitutes never cured any­ body. Society (or Preventing Tubercu'osis. Indian Territory Coal Depoiits. A society has been organized in M<*He of preventing tubermlctd? by putting into practice those means *hich science baa indicated as effective. Some idea of the value of the coal deposits in Indian territory can lie gained when it is known the average thickness of the vein is four feet, which will produce 4,000 tons to the acre. These lands are leased in lots of 900 acres each, which means that 3,500,000 to 4,000,000 tons can be produced by those leasing the land. On this output the lessees pay a royalty of eight cents a ton. The output during the last year was 1,900,127, ax against 1,400,441 tons the previuoe year. Contagious Blood Poison There is no poison so highly contagious, so deceptive and so destructive. Don't be too sure you are cured because all external » ^ns of the disease have disappeared, and the doctor says you are well.
