A Disease of the Blood Resulting from some Constitutional Tain!
Inherited or Acquired—Caused by Impoverished Blood, which
is Always Shown by the Afflicted One’s Pallor and
Emaciation—How it May be Cured.
From the Graphic, .Ruthville, Ind.
Miss Pearl Wood, a popular young lady of
Arlington, Indiana. Two years ago Miss
Wood became seriously afflicted with facial
neuralgia and was not relieved of her suf­
fering until about eight months ago.
She says, “I bad fairly good health until
two years ago when tho facial neuralgia de­
veloped. It started with occasional pains
in my jaws and I did not know what the
trouble was. I went to a dentist, thinking
my teeth needed treating, but the dentist said
such was uot the case as it was facial neural­
gia. Our physician said the same thing and
he gave me medicine which relieved the pain
for awhile.
“A few weeks later I woke up one night
with a fearful pain in my head. I tried dif­
ferent remedies, but could not get rid of the
awful pain. I managed to pull through, how­
ever, till morning, when the doctor was sent
for. He said it was another attack of the
trouble and I was apt to have a serious time
of it. His prophecy proved true. I suffered
severely from this disease for many weeks.
The pains often came in the night and were
so severe that it was impossible to sleep.
We tried a different doctor, but he did me
no good. I had read articles in the news-
}>apers concerning Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
or Pale People, and although I had never
read of a cure of any trouble similar to mine
through them, somehow I felt that the pills
might benefit me. Some of our neighbors
had used them with successful results, and I
decided to try them. 1 8ent to Rushville for
half a dozen boxes. I concluded if they were
worth trying, they were worth a thorough
trial ; but all the medicine was never used.
“By the time I had finished the secund
box 1 found I was growing better. I don’t
think I was ever more happy in my life than
over the fact 1 was getting well. After taking
the third box, the pain which had made life v.
a misery, had left me, and when I had finished
the fifth box 1 was well.”
Neuralgia is the result of some constitu­
tional taint which has been inherited or
acquired. It is the direct result of an im
poverished condition of the blood which i.<
always shown by the afflicted one’s pallor and
emaciation. Any part of the body which 1ms
sensitive nerves may become affected.
Among the many forms of this disease ar,
headache, nervousness, paralysis, apoplexy
and locomotor ataxia. Some of these wer
considered incurable until Dr.Williams’Pinl-
Pills for Pale People were formulated. To
day thousands testify to having been cured oi
tuch diseases by these pills.
No discovery of modern times has prove*,
such a boon to women as Dr. Williams’ Pinl
Pills for Pale People. Acting directly on tin
blood and nerves invigorating the body,
regulating the functions, they restore the
strength and health to the exhausted woman
when every effort of the physician proves un­
availing.
For the growing girl they p.rp of the ut­
most benefit, for the mother indispensable
for every woman invaluable. Dr. Williams
Pink Pills are recognized everywhere ns r
specific for diseases of the blood and nerves
and have proved their efficacy in thousand-
of cases. They are one of the greatest bless
ings ever bestowed upon mankind.

From times immemorial the idea
has been cultivated that old men for
counsel and young men for war is
the proper arrangement for human
activity. Whatever may have been
past experience, the recent war
with Spain leaves the venerable
maxim in a topsy-turvey condition.
Men on the far side of the prime of
life have directed the battles as well
as formed the plans, and with re­
markable success. Perhaps some,
like Shafter at Santiago, were a
little impetuous, but that merely
strengthens the case against the
proverb. Most of the leaders are
nearing the age of retirement.
Dewey is 61, and entered the naval
academy forty-four years ago. It
is something of a commentary on
fame that his name is particularly
hard to find in the biographical
works. Six months ago the com­
piler had not made his acquaintance.
He is not in the Century “Diction­
ary of Names,” published in 1894.
Dewey proved equally good for war
and counsel, in fact incomparably
better tBnn any young man could
have been. He is a veteran of the
civil war, and in that grim school
learned all about running batteries,
disregarding mines and opening fire
before breakfast. Dewey at 61 is
young enough to carry through any
task that could be set before the
United States navy, belligerent or
diplomatic.

“I want something in battle gray,”

“Certainly, madame; it’s the most

threw down a bolt of beautiful gray

dug. Some sections report a very large
crop, while others appear to have a small
crop, owing to late planting and to the
dry period.
The fruit crop is excellent. Prunes are
ripening rapidly and drying will com­
mence this week, though it will not be
general for ten days yet. The prune
crop is unusually large and of good qual­
ity. The peach crop is being marketed;
the weather is very favorable for the
maturing of the peaches.
The apple and pear crops are reported
on most favorably by all the correspond­
ents. As usual, the Codlin moth has
made its presence known. Large ship­
ments of pears to eastern markets con­
tinue.
Rain usually falls west of Cascades on
a few days between the 1st and 15th of
September, seldom in large amounts,
and it is reasonable to assume that some
will fall this year between the same
dates. Arrangements, therefore, should
be made accordingly.
