Sa RP ae one } Seca ~* ye « SATURDAY—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—NOVEMBER 23, 1901 —— | A PASTON'S TROUBLES, ey ged TRIALS WHICH BESET A MINIS- TER IN INDIAN TERRITORY. Rev. Wifiam R. Brock Speaks Feelingly of His Experience and Tells How, at Lest, Me Feund the Cause and Removed it. This would be a beautiful world if it were not for the vexations and troubles in it. It is easy enough to say, “Don’t let things trouble you.” But it isnt so €asy not to do it. Still it is true that many troubles can be shaken ol! and many more avoided. — For many long years the Rev. Wile liam R. Brock, of Provence, I. T., ws burdened with troubles more than fall to the lot of the average man, but finally he was able to throw thei of! and now tells entertainingly how he accomplished it. He says: “When I was a boy of about twelve years, I had what a boy seldom has— rheumatism. I had been in bad health for some months and was taken out of school on account ot it fut 1 kept getting worse and at one time could hardly get around. This, | suppose, un- dermined my health and was the cause of the later troubles which aiflicted me. “Some sixteen years ag6 1 developed a torpid liver and an enlarged spleen, which finally ‘caused a chronic diarrhoea. This in itself was very weakening but, in addition to that, my stomach refused hearty food, I had a severe pain in my side almost all the time and, when I walked any distance, I became out of breath, with a feeling of burning at the heart. My head and limbs would ache fearfully. especially at night. Then my rheumatism came on again and, later, I had a dry, hacking cough, which nearly drove me distracted. “T was under the care of two phy- sicians but. although the tonics they gave me seemed to do me good for a while. the effect was only temporary. A friénd in Texas. some years before, had told me of the benefit he had re- ceived from Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, but I thoucht then I would trust to the doctors. However. doctors wére not helping me and finally I was induced to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills by an advertisement in a paper which told of the cure of a case similar toe mine. This was four years ago. I took them and eicht boxes made me well. “T should have kept on a while longer until I had driven all the impure bloo4 out of my system, for the next summer the trouble came back. But I was not discouraged. I began taking the pills again, and a few boxes cured me. I took six boxes in all at that time, and my cure was permanent and, in the three years that have passed snice then, I have not been troubled at all. I am now well and strone and Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People have mace me 50.” Mr. Brock took a medicine that at- tacked his trouble at the root—the bloo4 and nerves. Poor blood and disordered nerves are at the seat of nearly all the ailments which afflict mankind, and Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pate People have been proven to be a certain remedy for all diseases arising from this cause. They will cure locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica, neu- ralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache. the after-effects of the grin, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complex ions an all forms of weakness, either in male or female. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People are sold by all deal- ers or will be sent postoaid on receipt of price, fifty cents a box: six bexes for two dollars and a half, bv addressing Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady.

Weiger Victim of Ac- cident at Electric Plant. — ——— See HURLED 20 FEET AND CRUSHED LARGE. PORTION OF THE CITY PLUNGED IN DARKNESS. -_—-_-- Bursting of a Steam Tank Caused a Panic Among One Hundred and Twenty Workmen, but All but Four Escaped. Charlies O. Weiger was instantly killed and three other employes seriously injured by the explosion of a steam box in the pow- er house of the Imperial Electric Light, Heat and Power Co., at 10th and St. Charles streets at 5 o'clock Friday after- noon. The explosion wrecked the engine room and plunged a large portion of the city in darkness. Tt will be two weeks before the damaged engine can be repaired. Weiger was an electrician and was oil- ing the 1500 horse power engine directly af- fected by the explosion. He was blown 20 feet across the room and crushed against the north wall. He lived at 1800 Wash street, Edward Meyer, working near the base of the engine, was knocked down and cut about the face and head. Frank W. Keogh of 6325 Ella averue was scalded by steam about the face and body. Henry Johnson of 12 South Fourteenth street was scalded about the body. At the moment of the explosion 60 men were on the ground floor of the plant and as many raore on the floor above. Panic- Stricken, these workmen ran out in the Street through clouds of steam. All es- caped injury save the men mentioned. President E. G. Bruckman for the com- pan’ gave this explanation of the accident: “The power house contains four engines rangme in size from 1009 to 3500 horse power. All were in operation at the time of the accident. Each of the engines has two cylinders, or closed chambers. “Between the two cylinders of each en- gine is a receiving chamber, which connects with the cylinders and through which steam passes in going from one cylinder to the other. These receiving chambers are sub- jected to very little strain, and accidents pesulting from their failure are said to be rare. “The receiving chamber of one of the en- gines burst. A part of the breken chamber struck a section of the steam piping from the boilers, causing steam to escape into the engine room and forcing the engine room employes to run for safety.” The explosion made it necessary to shut down all engines in the power house, in- cluding those that furnished power for the city lighting. This shut down electric lights in the district east of Jefferson ave- nue between Soulard and North Market streets, including all the downtown dis- trict. The following business houses were de- prived of light: Ferguson-McKinney Dry Goods Co., Sutler Brothers’ Mercantile Co., Monarch Rubbe,s Co., Mercantile Trust Co., Miss- issippi Valley Trust Coq Missouri Trust Co., LéPrelle-Williams Shove Co., George W.

ALL CHARGED IN COMPLAINT Small Boy Said to Have Hid in Stores and Open Their Doors at Night. PITTSBURG, Kan., Nov. 23.—George Lane’s family. consisting of his wife, a 1*- vear-old daughter and an adopted son, 10 vears old, have been arrested and lodged in prison here charged with being leaders of a gang that has been systematically robbing merchants of this city for the last year. Lane and his wife are prominent in society and church work. Théy have a beautiful home on West Fourth street, where nearly a thousand dollars’ worth of the stolen g00ds was found. According to the police the method in which they have robbed nearly every big Store in Pittsburg in the tast year hus Iicrg successfully baffled them. The boy, an intelligent little fellow, would concexl him- self in the store and be ocked in when tPe Store was cosed and then in th enight he would open the rear door, after which the robbery was easy. The arrest was caused by the boy being captured in a store and confessing. Lane is a contracting builder by trade and has al- ways been considered a respectable citizen. lt is said that several accomplices in neigh- boring cities have been selling stolen goods for the Lanes, LOCKED IN STORE AND ROBBED Bold Thieves Fasten Jeweler’s Door Outside, Loot the Show Window and Escape With Ease. The jewelry store of A. Vieta, 1819 Frank- lin avenue, was boldly robbed at 5:15 p. m. Friday, while Vieta, Dr. C. V. Bradley and Albert Hagan, a watchmaker, were locked in the store. Two thieves fastened the door against the egress of those inside, then threw a cobble stone through the show window. At the crash of the glass Vieta sprang into the show window among the jewelry. frightening the thieves, who were able t: grab only $20 worth of rings and othe trinkets, and run. Dr. Bradley rushed tc the door, but found it barred by a heavy Stick that had been passed through the outer handles The thieves ran across the street and dis- appeared in an alley A pedestrian §re- leased the men in the store, but the thieves were then beyond capture. Besides the loss of the jewelry, Vieta will lose about $30 dus to the damage caused by the cobble ston and broken glass falling into a tray of watches. Vieta’s store was robbed twice previously, once in 1896 and again tn 19. Burlington Train Changes Nov. 24th.

It has been stated on good medical authority that nine-tenths of cases of deafness are caused from catarrh or from sore throat trouble. The little ‘tube which leads to the ear from the throat is lined witn a osuvrt o! velvety structure called mucous mem- brane. This membrane is simply a con- tinuation of the mucous membrane lin- ing the throat. When disease of any sort attacks the mucous membrane of the throat it is very liable to extend into the Eustachian tube and up into the ear. The history of nearly all cases of deaf- ness is like this: a cold is contracted and neglected, other colds are taken, the throat becomes sore and_ inflamed, which 1s aggravated by particles of dust and germs trom the air. This condition causes the disease to spread intw the tube that leads to the ear. [It seems a little far fetched to say that most cases of deafness are caused] from catarrh, but it is certainly true, and anyone who has had a severe ca- tarrhal cold must have noticed how the hearing was affected while the cold lasted. With catarrh sufferers this impair- ment of hearing becomes c&ronic and grows worse the longer the catarrh is neglected. ‘ You can cure catarrh afd deafness by the regular use of an excellent new prep- aration called Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets composed of antiseptic remedies which act both on the mucous membranes but principally and most effectually on the blood, ¢liminating the catarrhal poison from the system. : People whose hearing is defective may think it a little remarkable that a sim- ple and harmless tablet would very often remove al] traces of deafness, but when it is remembered that catarrh causes the deafness and that the catarrh is easily cured by the regular use of Stuart’s Ca- tarrh Tablets there is no mystery about it. If you are subject to nasal catarrh or catarrh of throat, bronchial tubes or ca- tarrh of stomach and liver, the safest and most eff : ve abe yA bg Fd ie x a So o “& ‘ r - a me — tein ae Lee -and-Now | am Well.” A Ue cet : Dae Rakes Eek : ae ‘ ; a ee Se ay) 4 a 2) Py aR “e ats? pige ’ P- Pa ve. ° DY ae 2S a . vt : Py / a ) Doctors Mystified. A woman is sick ; some disease peculiar to her sex is fast developing in her system. She goes to her family physician and tells him a story, but not the whole story. She holds something back, loses her head, becomes agitated, forgets what she wants to say, and finally con- ceals what she ought to have told, and thus completely mystifies the doctor. Is it any wonder, therefore, that the doctor fails to cure the disease? Still, we cannot blame the woman, for . it is very embarrassing to detail some of. the symptoms of | her suffering, even to her family physician. It was for this reason that years ago Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., determined to step in and help hersex. Having had considerable experience in treating female ills with her Vegetable Compound, she encouraged the women of Amer- ica to write to her for advice in regard to their complaints, and being a woman, it was easy for her ailing sisters to pour into her ears every detail of their suffering. In this way she was able to do for them what the phy- sicians were unable to do, simply because she had the proper information to work upon, and from the little group of women who sought her advice years ago, a great army of her fellow-beings are today constantly applying for advice and relief,.and the fact that more than one hundred thousand of them have been successfully treated by Mrs. Pinkham during the last year is indicative of the grand results which are produced by her unequaled experience and training. No physician in the world has had such a training, or has such an amount of information at hand to assist in the treatment of all kinds of female ills, from the simplest local irritation to the most complicated diseases of the womb. This, therefore, is the reason why Mrs. Pinkham, in her laboratory at Lynn, Mass., is able to do more for the ailing women of America than the family physician. Any woman, therefore, is responsible for her own suffering who will not take the trouble to write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice. The testimonials which we are constantly publishing from grateful women establish beyond a doubt the power of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to cénquer female diseases. : Grateful Letters from Cured Women. “Dean Mus. Pivxnat:—I have been thank- ful a thousand times since I wrote to you for what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has done for me. I followed your advice carefully and now I feel like a different person. ‘*My troubles were backache, headache, and leucorrhea. I took fotr bottles of Vege- used one package of Sanative Wash, and am pow well. : ‘I thank you again for the good you have ter, Ohio. . ‘**DeaR Mrs. PInKHAM:—When I wrote to you some time ago for advice, I really thought my days were numbered. I was so ill that I could not stand on my feet for fifteen minutes at a time. ‘I had femade troubles in many of their worst forms, inflammat and ulceration of the womb, leucorrheea, bearing-down pains, headac backache, and nervous prostration. My kidneys were out of order blood in a bad condition. Every one, and even my doctor, thought I was going intoconsumption. I commenced to take Lydia EB. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and followed your advice faithfully for six months, with the result that I became a well woman, and it did not cost me nearly as much as a doctor’s bill for the same number of weeks. I that your medicine saved my life."—MRS, SAMUEL BORST, 7 Cozy Ave., Oneonta, N, Y. ' c ‘‘DeaR Mrs. PInKHAM:—I feel that words are but feeble to +E Ake. a heart's gratitude, when there is so much to be thankful for as I have, I suffered with womb trouble for five years, and our family physician said an operation was needed; but I dreaded it, and reading of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound one day, | decided to give it o trial first. To my great joy I found that after four months’ treatment l was strong and well; experienced no pain or troublé, and the Compound built up my entire system. I shall always bless the day I started to take your medicine; it proved my greatest good.”—M SS SOPHIB BONHAM, 281 Oak St., Chicago, I11. “Deak Mrs. PrInKHAM :—I want to tell you what your medicine has done for me. I believe it saved my life. I had womb trouble and in- flammation of the ovaries, and was troubled sith flowing too much, had two doctors, but they did me no good. After writing to you, I the use of your remedies, and to-day 1 am well. I cannot say eno in your favor and shall always praise your Vegetable Compound,”— FRED. LEO, Box 520, Skowhegan, Maine.
