Front Oourier-Heraltl, Saginaw, Mich. Do you we those two men walking np the ttrmr One has a rigorous, firm, elastic step, h head well up, his eyes bright a picture of a sound and perfect man.

The difference between these two men is a di (Terence of nerre power.

Bear in miud. that lite is nerve power, and if you wish to keep it you must feed the nerves. Do not simply m initiate them, but coax them feed them. Give them the food which will renew their life and make them sound and healthy, that tliy may ward off disease. robably paralysis is the nearest disease to nerve-death that we know, and we therefore cite a case of it below, to show what a cer tain iumniiB nerw-bniMine nre natation cart do to feed and absolutely restore almost hopWessly wasted nerves. Tuere are but few in the Saginaw Valley nut who nave known personally or made the acquaintance indirectly of W. H. Dawson, 618 Union Avenue, Saginaw, Mich., West Side. It is here that the hand of sickness has fallen heavily and caused a man to be come widely known and sxtremely pitied. It is the hand of fate that often nips in the bud that which nature has started with the rreatest predictions for the future. Until three- years ago W. H Dawson has known, imi imie ui bivkucw miu pain mu ine issi few yean have brought with them untold suffering. With many doctors taxing their brains for something that might benefit, all remedies known to the scientific medicine maiiweraappliedandwithoutavail. The pa tient meanwhile faded and became worse but still lingered to fulfill a wonderful mis sion which will be the cause of less suffering among his fellow creatures. It was that un seen hand directing all things who permitted this one man to live in misery so that the worla might become enlightened. To hear the pitiful story of one who has suffered who could not move a muscle for one whole vear and who is now convalescent through the aid of a wonderful medium might lead one to believe that miracles are nerformeil in this dav and aire. Thev are. but not as in times of old. This time H is through toe hand of man that life is restored. " Until the fall of '92" said Mr. Dawson. to a reporter, " I was as hearty and as full of me turn vigw as any yuuu uian couiu nope to be, in fact sickness was then unknown to me. About this time I was taken sick with la grippe and after having two relapses my pine became affected. This trouble grew worse rapidly and in March of '93 I was completely paralyzed from my waist down. Having taken everything my doctors could prescribe without any effects, I decided to go to the Indiana State Institute at Indianapo lis hoping to receive at least some benefit from their specialists. I was there for a nenod of ten months dnnn? which time was taken sick with scarlet fever which left me in a worse condition than ever before.

That work which 1 can now put all my soul into with which my being is thrill ing, is proclaiming to sick and suffering hu manity the wonders of Dr. Williams' Piuk Pills. They have given me new life. 4, " It was in April of that a friend told me of the Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and asked me to try them. I hud no faith in anything, in fact my life was now burden some and I hated to take anything that might chance to prolong it. I was at length persuaded and the pills were obtained. When I began taking them I was pale, weak, helpless and almost without life, as before stated, was completely paralysed from my waist down, my limbs were simply bones and skin with do life or feeling in them and had been so for one year. Before the first box was used I could move my toes a little and could begin to feel new life all through me. This was encouraging and I continued to use these marvelous pellets.

Jlvlife, myall, I owe to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. "I am now comparatively fleshy with good color and high spirits, and ever)1 day brings new strength and more happy life throught the continued use of Dr. Williama' Pink Pills." W.H. DAWSON. .

The foregoing is but one of many wonder ful cures that have been credited to Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills forPale People. Diseases which heretofore have been supposed to be incurable, such as locomotor ataxia and pa ralysis succumb to this wonderful medicine as readily as the most trifling ailments. In many cases the reported cures have been investigated by the leading newspapers and verified in every possible manner uml in no case has the least semblance of fraud been discovered. Their fame has spread to the far ends of civilization and there is hardly a drug store in this country or abrotd where they cannot be found. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new lite and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as loco motor ataxia, partial paralysis, -ft. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgias-rheumatism, nerv ous headache, the after effect of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and willow complexions, all forms of weakness either in male or female.

Its spotless, peaceful walls and draperies affected him strangely as if he had brought into its immaculate serenity the sanguine strain of war. Be was awakened suddenly from a deep slum ber by an infinite tense of alarm. Hit flrat thought was that he had been summoned to repel an attack. He tat up and listened. Everything was silent except the measured tread of the sentry onthegravelwalkbelow. But. the door was open. He sprang to his feet and slipped into the gallery. In time to tee the tall figure of a woman gilding before the last moonlit window at its furthest end. He could not tee her face, but the characteristic turban? tl head of the negro race was plainly visible. s , . He did not care to follow her, oreven alarm the guard. It it were the spy or one of her emissaries, she was powerless now to do any harm, and nnder hit lute orders and the rigorous vigilance of his sentinels the could not leaye the lines or indeed the house. She probably knew this as well as he did; it was, there fore, no doubt, only an accidental in trusion of one of the tenant. He re entered the room and stood for a few momenta by the window looking over the moonlit ridge. ' The sounds of dis tant cannon had long since ceased. Wide awake and refreshed by the keen morning air, which alone of all cre ated things seemed to have shaken the burden of the dreadful yesterday trom its dewy wings, he turned away and lit a candle on the table. As he was rebuckling his sword belt he taw piece of paper lying at the foot of the bed from whicb he had just risen. Tak ing it to the candle he read in a rough ly scrawled hand: "You are asleep when you should be on the march. You have no time to lose. Before .daybreak the supports of the column you have been foolishly resist ing will be upon you. From one who would save you, but hates your cause." For a moment he was transfixed. The handwriting waa unknown, andevident ly disguised. It was not the purport of the message that alarmed him, but the terrible suspicion that flashed upon him that it came from Miss Faulkner! 8he had failed in her attempt to past through the enemy's lines or she had never tried to! She had deceived him, or the had thought better of her chiv alrous 'impulse aud now tried to miti gate her second treachery by this sec ond warning, and he had let her mes senger escape him! He hurriedly descended the stairs. The sound of voices was approaching him. He halted aud recognized the faces of the brigade surgeon and one of hit aide-de-camp. Wc were hesitating whether to dis turb you, general, but it may be an af fair of some importance. Under your orders a negro womnn was just now challenged stealing out of the lines. At tempting to escatic. she was chased there was a struggle and scmmblc over the wall, and she fell, st riking her head. She was brought into the guard house unconscious." "Very good, 1 will tee her," said Brant, with a feeling of relief . 'Oue moment, general. We thought you would perhaps prefer to see - forth, um tut lay tb was hi wuVs. alone," said the surgeon. "For when 1 endeavored to bring her to and was sponging her face and bead to discover her injuries her color came off! She was a white woman, stained and dis guised as a mulatto." . . For an instant Brant's heart sank. It .wasJilHw Fatllkuer. ; : t "Did jyon recognize her?" he laid, glancing from the one" to the other, "Had you seen lier here before?" "No, sir," replied the. nid-deicamp. "But she seemed to be quite a superior woman a lady, I should any." : Urant broutliiKl more freely. "Where it she iiow?" heasiicd. ' i -J v .

Yon may go In she may rally from it ::i:y moment." . With the artificiul atep and myste rious hush of the ordinary visitor to a sicklied, Urnnt entered the room. But ,-oinp Instinct greuter tbnn this com mon expression of humanity held blm suddenly .in awe. The room seemrd no longer his It had slipped back into that austere conventual privacy which hod first impressed him. Yet he hesi t.ited; another strange suggestion it .Mimed n I most a vague recollection overcame him like some lingering per fume, faint, far off and pathetic, in its rl inpr familiarity. He turned his eyes nlinoKt timidly towards the bed. The i nverli't was drawn up near the fhront i the iigurc to replace the striied cot tor gown, stained with blood and dust, which hnd been hurriedly torn off null thrown aside. The pole face cleanse! ut blood and disguising color, the lour "till damp from the surmmu'n pjiouge lay rigidly buck on the pillow . Suddenly this man of iron nerves ut tered it fulnt cry, and with a face in: white ns tlic upturned one before him, fell on his knees beside the bed. For the face that lay there was his wife's. Yes! hers. But the beautiful hair that she had gloried in the hair that It his youth ho hnd thought had once I'ollcn like a benediction on hit shoul ders w:ih streaked with gray along the blii! veined hollows of the temples; the orbita of those clear eyes, beneath their delicately arched brows, were ringed with days of suffering; only the clear cut proliler even to the delicate imperiouaness of lips and nostril, wan still there in all lt beauty. The cm- ilct had slipped irom the shuuiu, its familiar marble contour starlK him. He remembered how in the:: :ui ly married days he had fell the sanc tity bf that Diana-like revelation, and :he still nymph-like austerity which lung to this strange, childless woman !c even fancied that he breathed agaii, ii subtle characteristic perfume 01 :e lace embroideries, the delicate en rapping! in her chamber at liolile: erhnps it was the intensity of bin gay -jrhaps it wos the magnetism of li i-sencc but her lips parted with : alt sigh, half moan. Her heud, n! iiough the eyes were still closeil turned on the pillow instinctive!; .owurds him. He roe from his knee: (icr eyes opened slowly. As the iirk ;!ure ft wonderment cleared Iron them, they met him in the old anUtg iiiism of spirit! Yet her first gesture .vas a feminine pathetic movement with both hands, to arrange her straggling hair.. It brought her white fingers, cleaned of their disguising Mains, as a sudden revelation to her of what had happened; she instantly slipped them back under the coverlet again. Brant did not speak, but with folded arms ttood gazing upon her. And it was her voice that first broke the silence. "You have recognized me! Well, 1 mppose you know all," she said with 11 weak half-defiance. He bowed his head. Hefcltatyctlr could not trust his voice and envied hi -her own. "I may sit up, mayn't I?" She roan aged by iheer force of will to struggle to a sitting posture. Then as the cover let slipped from the bareshoulderB,tif Mid, as she drew it with a shiver of disgust around ber again: "I lorgot that you strip women you nortlicn soldiers. But I forgotalso," she added with a sarcastic smile, "that you un likewise my husband and this is y 0 11 room." The contemptuous significance of be speech dispelled the last lingering rem nant of Branfs dream. In a voice tw dry as her own he said: "I am afraid you will now have to remember ouly that I am a northern general and you a southern spy." "80 be it," she said, gravely. Then, impulsively, "but I have not spied on you." f Yet the next moment she bit her lips at if the expression hud unwittingly es caped her; and with areckleas shrug of her shoulders she lay back on her pil low. "It matters not," tald Hrant, coldly. "You have used this house, and thosu within it to forward your design!. It is not your fault that you found noth ing in the dispatch box you opened. She ttared at him quickly; then shrugged her shoulder again. "I might have known she was false to me, she suid b!tterly,"nntl that you wpuld whee dle her soul away as you nave oincrs, Well she betrayed mo! Fur what?" A flush passed over liiuut's face.

Hut the next moment she turned ngain fiercely upon him: "And you mean to tell me that she didn't help you that Blie didn't sell me your wife tb you for for what wits It'? look a kiss?" "I mean to say that she did not know the signal was changed mid that she herself restored It to its phiuo, It is 110 fault of hers nor of yours that 1 am not now a prisoner.
