fl Michigan Miracle. MRS. HARRIET A. BEGOLE TELLS OF AN UNEXPECTED BLESSING. Lost Her Voice and Did Not Speak Aloud for Nearly Thirteen Years—How Her Speech Was Heatored. The Ypsilanti Commercial. Ypsilanti, Mich. Many things appear miraculous that are really the result of natural laws the workings of which can be accurate ly predicted. A striking example of this occurred in a prominent Michigan family recently, and in this case there can be no question as to the truthful ness of the narrative since it is attest ed by Mrs. Harriet Begole, of Ypsil anti, Mich., a sister-in-law of Mr. Joshua Begole, who was governor of Michigan in 1883-84. When inter viewed Mrs. Begole said: “In 1886 I suffered from a severe ill ness brought on by a bard cold. Dur ing this illness my voice left me and I did not speak again above a whisper for nearly 13 years. “I was treated by five local physi cians and afterward went to New York and consulted the leading specialists there. They diagnosed my case as par tial paralysis, stating that the left side of my throat was entirely paralyzed and the right side partially so. I re turned home utterly disheartened. “For nearly eight years I have suf fered from a severe stomach disorder and about a year ago I decided to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple for this trouble. I was much bene fited bv the first box and so was en couraged to persist in their use. My stomach trouble was relieved, my gen eral health became greatly improved and to my surprise 1 regained control of my vocal organs. 1 have used five boxes of the pills and last November I spoke aloud for the first time in almost 13 years. I am now 71 years of age and have full control of my voice. I feel so grateful that I wish to make known to others the wonderful cura tive powers of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. (Signed) MRS. HARRIET A. BEGOLE.” Sworn to and subscribed before me this 19th day of May, 1899, at Ypsil anti, Mich. JOHN P. KIRK. Notary Public. Washtenaw Co., Mich. There is nothing surprising in this cure, remarkable as it is, to those who know that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People are so compounded that they act simultaneously on the blood and nerves. They tone up the system and cannot be excelled as a corrective or a disordered digestion as was proved in the above case. Their power in re building wasted nerve tissue makes them invaluable in the treatment of partial paralysis, and to this fact Mrs. Begole owes the restoration of her voice liter years of useless but expensive Treatment. Dr. William’s Pink Pills for Pale People contain in a condensed form all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfail ing specific for such diseases as locomo tor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheuma tism, nervous headache, the after effect of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, all forms of weakness either in male or female. Dr. William’s Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple, are sold by all dealers or will be sent postpaid on receipt of price, 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, (they are never sold in bulk or by the 100), by addressing Dr. William’s Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.

Nearly twenty Englishmen are now at work on seven umbrellas for an Ashantee chief and his faithful staff. There Is nothing under the sun a chief can wear, not even excepting a cast-off silk hat or a red-llned cavalry coat, so calculated to strike awe Into the minds of refractory natives and so Imbue them with a spirit of obedience as a "gingham.” Traders, when they want to obtain free access to the country of one of the hostile tribes, make presents of wornout clothing to the natives, or even a “gamp” to a particularly obsti nate and pugnacious chief. A London syndicate of gold coast traders has given the order and are paying for the umbrellas In question, which will be given to bribe the vain, dusky warriors. James Smith & Sons, of Oxford street, are making them at £35 for the large one and £20 each for the others. When finished the umbrel las will be gorgeous beyond the dream of the most imaginative negro. For the chief present will be nearly fifteen feet across, quite a descent sized tent. In fact, on state occasions it will be so used. The handle will then be stuck tn the ground and six slaves will act as the tent pegs. The material from which It Is being made is silk, and the colors are to be “red, white and blue!” Wbat will some of our political stump orators say to this? Round the edge will be a deep rich fringe, and on the top an elaborately chased cup surmounted by a British lion, rampant. For the staff the umbrellas will be somewhat smaller and less majestic. What rejoicings there will be in the ¡and when the carriers arrive with those parasol-tentllke umbrellas; and how pleased will the city men be with the return for their good-natured and thoughtful action!—London Express.

LIEUTENANT PETERSON Says Peruna Is the Finest Tonic and Invigorator He Ever Used. Lieutenant Charles Peterson, Hook and Ladder Co.

Several of my friends advised me to build up on Peruna, and I found it by iar the finest tonic aud invigorator 1 had ever used.
