The effect of this was to run the rate for i money today up to ion per cent, and j when that figure was quoted an ex tremely sharp decline resulted in the stock market. 1’nion Pacific, a 10 per cent, stock selling down to par. Notwithstanding the high rate for call j money that might have been obtained j the National '"Itv Rank, John U. Rock efeller personally, and other prominent moneyed interests sent funds to Slock Exchange to he lent at the normal rates of C per cent. These sums, how ever. were not sufficient to meet the de mand and for a time there was great confusion and hurrie-d selling of stocks on the Exchange. At the time when the excitement was at its height the annuneemert was made that a pool had been formed with J. P. Morgan at its head to come to the rescue of the i brokers for whom it was necessary to provide funds at once in order that they might carry the stocks they were hold ing for their customers. The Morgan pool brought a sum of money amounting to about $2",noo.ooo into the loan corn-, r ot the Exchange, where it was quickly distributed in such lots as wc-uld be most effective in rendering support. The effect of this relief measure w.-s instantaneously and the rate on call money dropped from 100 per cent. ;n 10 per cent. Stocks advanced more rapid than they had declined and it was only a few minutes until I’nion Pacific, tlie market loader, was selling at 1 nr,. Other stocks were similarly affected and the rally was complete. Seldom, if ever, had the veterans of finance seen a great situation saved so quieklv and so effectively by such a Napoleonic stroke. When the Stock Exchange closed every one was get ting all the money he wanted. The close was marked by a memorable scene in which the brokers gathered around the principal trading posts and gave three cheers for .1. P. Morgan and the members of the pool which saved tlie day. Th- aggregate amount of money which had been contributed in order to weather tlie storm and restore confi dence assumes truly colossal propor tions. Roughly estimated it includes $25,000,000 which Secy. Cortelyou de posited jn the New Yorw hanks: $25, uOO.duo which tlie Morgan pool brought to tlie floor of the Stock Exchange; $10,000,0011 which John I). Rockefeller deposited with the Vnion Trust Co., as a means of stemming the tide at the Trust Company of America and finally another $50,000,000 which it is under stood .Mr. Rockeferller stood ready to advance to meet any further stress of condition, in all considerably in excess of $100,000,000. Tlie developments of tlie evening, during w hi eh. as was the case last night there were several conferences, including tlie issuance by State Comp troller, Martin H. Glynn, of a state ment on the local financial situation ami the announcement of plans for tlie rehabitution of the suspended Knick erbocker. Tlie tentative plans for -.he Knickerbocker as outlined by one of the officials following a meeting of me hoard of dirieiors late today provides for the formation, among the directors, of a pool of some $5,ftU0.n()ft to guar antee the redemption within two years of interest-hearing certificates, whin will he offered in settlement of ac counts against the company, which cannot he liquidated at tlie present time. As a preliminary step, it was said, that a receiver for the company would he appointed within a couple of days, with tlie approval of the directors. When the success of tlie certificate is sue is assured, the board will ask that tlie receivership he terminated with a view to a resumption of business. President A. Foster Higgins lias of fered to put $5,000,000 in tlie pool. It was given out that after investigating that tiie securities left for the lee loans for former President Harney had been found sufficient for the amounts in volved. This evening Secretary Oor telyou said: "The situation seems to lie steadily improving. It does not seem to me that there can be practically any cause for anxiety." It was learned tonight that, although there had been a steady demand for treasury funds during the day the $24,000,000 proffered by the secretary had by no means been disposed when the examination of collateral at the sub-treasury was concluded for the day. IN NO DANGER. Union Trust Co., Providence, Paying All Who Want Their Cash. Providence. R. I., Oct. 24.—For three hours today a steady stream of depositors passed before the window' of the paying tell of the Union Trust Co. of America and withdrew the amounts they had de posited with the institution. The demand of the depositors for the return of their money began at noon time and when the bank closed its doors for business at the usual hour, 3 o'clock, there were between 1» and 1>0 depositors waiting in line to withdraw their savings. While no statement of the amount with drawn from tile institution was available at the close today, it was generally un derstood that the deposits withdrawn were principally small accounts, ranging from $100 to $'1000. although the bank offi cials said there were few withdrawals that reached the last mentioned figure. The officials of the Trust Company seemed to manifest no uneasiness at the situation, and when the bank was closed for business at 3 o’clock this afternoon Vice Pres, and Sec. Michael F. Dooley nddTessed the waiting line of depositors, telling them that the closing hour had come, but that if they would return to morrow morning at 9 o'clock their de mands would be satisfied. An official estimate of the number of persons withdrawing their deposits today placed the figure at about 700. The bank officials claimed that the in stitution was in no danger and that it would be fully able to meet all claims against it. It is generally understood that the un usually iaige withdrawals from the Union Trust Co. of America were a reflection of the financial situation in New York. The Union Trust Co. of Ameri ca is one of the oldest compa nies in the city and has always transacted a large volume of business anil has beep known well and favorably throughout New Knglnnd banking circles. In addition to i*s regular banking busi ness it has conducted a savings depart ment, paying 4 per cent, interest on de posits. In the crowd of persons withdrawing their deposits today nearly every nation ality was represented, Chinese, Armenians mil Italians rubbing shoulders with Eng lish, French and Americans. The long line of waiting depositors (xtended around the corner of the hank building anil a small squad of police were called upon to handle the crowd. There was absolutely no disorder, but tiie presence (Continued on Page Twelve.) Dr. H. B. Palmer, Farmington, Accidentally Poisons Himself. Farmington, Mo., Oct. 24.—Dr. H. It.

Sonoma Girl Has Proud Record For Season Recently Closed. The *•*'1111 uign of Snno Girl. .:'l l 1-4, i jus car lias ended, and the crack trotting maid owned by X-ntta Crabtree goes into retirement the particular star i of th’ season, her superiority over Highball. In r nearest rival, having been ecncla.-ively shown tn their last races. During the racing year Sonoma tiir! was returned the winner ot' $*M.2r*>. the largest itnionnl won by a harness horse, either trotter or pacer. Had she been in the hands of Myron McHenry from the very beginning til the year experienced turfmen over that “he would not have tasted defeat once Irom Libertyville to Lexington. When McHenry took the mare at neatlville she had notions that had to be dispelled to make her of anv racing value. Later experiences showed it was merely Sonoma Girl's fancy that caused her to break ai the first turn in her races. McHenry was particularly careful in 1 his .-indy of tin mare before lie made a. movAt lteadvilli he started her twice, and each time stie caught tin dag thn ugh her actions. He let her lav over at providence to see if the re-t would make her better for tin* Charter Oak at Hartford, bet her pet notion of breaking still prevailed. 1 Then McHenry, knowing that she was value less in the shape she was for rac ist purposes, took the master's hand, i None will ever know the complete treat nenl Sonoma Girl went through in ;i tiding in r "boss."

No Baseball Position So Hard To Fill as TSiat of Umpire. Titer-- is no position harder to fill in baseball than that of umpire. ,\sk any American League magnate if star hail players are scarce, and he will at suer in a hurry, “Yes." Ask Han Johnson if star arbitrators are tew and far between, and it won't take hint long to tell you that there are hundreds of star ball tossers to every high-class holder of the indiea tor. Rob has had his experienees. He knows. The American League is in grave danger of losing the king of umpires. Jack Sheridan. For years the scribes have been plac ing Jack on the retired list, hut in' ctontes back in the spring looking younger and better than ever. It looks very much as though 1007 would he Sheridan's last year in base ball. Just before- leaving Washington, i Slr-ridati said that Washingtonians had seen him for the last time, and Jack appeared to be in earnest. I li Sheridan makes good his detormi nation to quit Ban Johnson will have his 'lauds full in trying to fill his place. Rase Dull may never see the equal of I Jack Sheridan. Fool at ali times nn-! der lire, full of courage, and always I enjoying the confidence of the players and the public, lie possesses all th** 1 requisites ot the ideal umpire. Talk about your brave heroes’ Jack Sheri dan has them all hacked off the boards. For twentv-thrcc years In- has been I playing the difficult role of umpire, and always with success. If any or.e j eve; dt served a Carnegie medal for i he;,Very it’s old Jack. It's tip to some ot 'he ians to put Andy wise to the one best bet that he is overlooking. Jack Sheridan is -If. vears of age and 5 rcsint s ill the w inter at San Jose, Cal. In the summer home is any old place I hr hangs itis hat. In the cold weath er days "Jack helps look after his undertaking business. As one wit ex pressed it. Sheridan umpires in the summer because he has more stiffs to handle on the diamond than in private life. He also finds it more profitable. Sheridan is the highest-priced umpire in Ha business, getting $1:700 and ex penses for six months’ work. Sheridan enjoys one unique distinc tion. He has worked in throe different leagues in whit h the pennant hinged I on the list game of the season. Such i a thing ha in the (.Toast League in ISM*. i Oakland being the contenders. s Kansas City and Indianapolis fought it out for the j championship of the old Western League. The American League i furnished the other unique race in j 1903. Boston and New York fighting it I out on the final day of the season. The I v. tuners were Oakland. Indianapolis. end Boston. There is another umpire on Ban Johnson's staff who must he classed as the wise little Irishman. It is not generally known, hut Tom Connolly was born in Ireland and came to this country when about 10 years of ago. lb ne r played ball, yet ho so mas tered the game that ho is now ronsid orod one o*' tho most competent officials in the business. c'onr.olly is also re garded as tho premier roller polo rt Chicago net ween the Browns and the White Sex.

Ten years ago. and more, baseball in the sunny South was anything hut a stable proposition, as many of the older baseball players will lell you today. It was no uncommon tiling for the leagues down there to go to pieces im mediately after the Fourth of July, leaving the players Pat broke. anri with out anything before them but a long hike to their homes.

When it Contes to a conversation about maters pertaining to wood and the uses to which different species of timber are put, Bowerman is a regular encyclopedia of information, as he 1ms made this subject a lifelong study. The other day Sammy Strang, who hails from down in Tennessee, and who expects to start a tannery down near Ms borne place this winter, was inquir ing of Bowerman ns to the best wood for tanning. Frank mentioned several kinds, each to be used in specific cases.

This flight continued until nearly o'clock and at no time did the number seem to diminish, the onlv change noticed being the dirc'dion. which varied from the south to the west. Tlie lighting place of the birds could not be seen, but probably one of the largest crow councils held for many years was hold not far off. .as the birds appeared very tired.

Oct. 24.—Tile cheerful spirit j ip. which operations begun at the Stock t'xciutnge touay, owing to over-night de velopments, hud given place to conditions that were fast slipping into demoraliza tion alien, in the nick of time. $25,000,003 was sent into the Stock Exchange to lend on call under the auspices of the com manding personality wnieh presided over the day’s cos tiir.icus deliberations. This brought prom] t relief from a tension that had crow i, up in the stock market ow ing to the dearth of money for call loans, such stippli s as were sent it. were prov ing inadequate t« the icquitenients of Km I-pressed holders ot securities and Ik aw saei iftcoi were being made to pro em e tumls As tin* ua\ progressed persons standing obligated tor loans at the Stock Exchange f-Miad themselves in no enviable position, and ti e hiokeis in the loan department w*ie in large numbers and urgent thiougbout th day. The selling of se curities was clearly necessitous and tlio general air of confidence winch began to pervade the banking world was beginning t) be regarded as poor consolation by those involved in holdings of securities. The $25,000,000 of relief probably saved the market from disaster and the rebound which followed was convulsive. The mar ket closed in some confusion after this \iolent rally but the tone was strong in the main up t( the closing, the United States Steel stock signalizing that the transformation in the situation by living 1 uoyantly over last night’s level. These stocks were notably firm all day. although the sinking fund bonds began to no acute ly affected by tlio pressure of liquidation late in the day. The bond mark”! was more responsive to the pressure of liquidation than at any time heretofore during the present trou bles. High grade securities were* sold ap parently to provide means for protection of such other holdings ns were totally unsaleable. The suspension of several smaller banking institutions in the city did not impair the feeling of confidence. Neither did the continued run on the Trust Co. of Ameiica, or the signs of runs on other minor trust companies. The de termination of the great powers among the trust companies to stand together and for the protection of the Trust Co. of America was regarded as assuring the solution of the difficulty. Tiie unlimited offer of the secretary of the treasury of government facilities to meet the crisis was the powerful co-cpeiating factor which confirmed the hopes of saving tho institution.

Club credits in New York are shorten ing rather than lengthening. Old estab lished clubs, indeed, cling pretty well to their early rules on this subject, but even some of these have shortened the time and cut down the amount of cred its. The newer clubs tend to keep credits low and the term short. A few elubs even try to enforce the rule that a debt shall he paid on the clay it is incurred and before the member leaves the clubhouse*. It is still possible, how ever, for a reputable man belonging to four or five clubs to dine without pay ing for a whole year by judicious use of his credit. Within the last few years some clubs have abandoned the? time-honored post ed list. There must have been a time when the monthly posted list was effect ive in making men pay their current club debts, but the effect upon men of seeing their names posted month after month ceases to be felt, and in time a place on the posted list is regarded al most as an honor. Some clubs have abandoned even the practice of posting the limit list, that is the names of those whose credit ex ceeds the limit fixed by the club rules. The distinction between the monthly posted list and the limit list is clear, and important. The monthly list is of those who have not paid their last month’s house bills, small or large, at the end of the time allowed for credit, which is usually tifteen days from the end of the month. The* limit list includes the names of those who have disregarded the monthly posting until their bills have reached the amount at which credit absolutely ceases. It is not yet an honor to have one’s name on the limit list in any reputable club. In some clubs the limit is as high as $-00, in most it is not above $100, in a very few no sum is named, but a man who should persistently let his debts pile up would he subject to in quiry and then, if need he, to discipline. In the case of the clubs that liavn ceased posting the limit is fixed at a point that a man easily reaches in the course of a month, so that the member who long neglects his monthly bills is at once subject to inquiry and then to discipline. In most clubs all these things come about automatically by the operation of fixed rules, so that the personal ele ment is not obtruded, but the rules can b»* strictly and promptly' enforced to rid a club of undesirable members. Many of the newer clubs fix their limit list as low as $25. so tnat a mem ber may easily find himself in arrears several times in the course of a month. This means suspension of credit, and perhaps serious embarrassment. The unwelcome news that a club can not serve ;i man with moat or tl ink comes unpleasantly enough when he lias planted himself at tub! and de manded refreshments. Well-managed clubs contrive that a man shall receive warning of the fact that his credit has expired before he has undertaken to exereise his ordinary privileges us a club member, hut there are a good many ill-managed clubs In New York where negligent members meet with just this form of embarrassment. Some clubs that have ceased to post the monthly list or the limit list still post the names of those who have failed to pay their dues when the term of credit lias expired. This term usually extends for at least a month after the annual or semi-annual payment has fallen due, hut it may extend to two or even three months. No self-respecting man likes to have his name on that list, and few clubs will long tolerate men whose names habitually, appear there. A good fellow, however, who spends much money at the club and has never driven the board to threaten extremities may offend in this way for many years. It is a per fectly well-recognized idiosyncrasy of some men to he slow pay. and the club can afford to be patient with the slow man who is a free spender. It is a sign of improved club man ners that tlie posted list, when still maintained, is no longer made conspie nous. It is. of course, always concealed i when tlie club entertains guests, and j there is an increasing tendency to re gard it as bad form to scrutinize the j posted list too closely. The club gossiper was never a nice i person, and he is more than ever j frowned upon. It may occasionally be convenient to know that a fellow-mem j her of ordinarily punctual habits has i not paid his club hills, but there are usually earlier premonitions of a man's financial embarrassments. Those who most promptly discharge their club debts are far more being the safest men to deal with in money matters. To get into a good club and loop clear of the posted list is worth much to a climber. With the shortening and lessening of club credits has come in many clubs a stricter rule as to the cashing of mem bers' checks. It is a well-recognized old trick to kite a check at the club from Saturday noon to Monday afternoon. I Perfectly reputable and solvent men do j it, and the clerk at the desk often feels j a moral certainty when he cashes a check for $:.0 or $100 that the maker i has not enough money in the bank to I cover it. Some clubs refuse to cash the checks of members. In such clubs a man in need of ready fa.sli outside of ordinary banking hours will sometimes pay his hills with a cheek considerably in excess of the amount and demand change. In that situation the clerk is justified ill taking into eoBslricratloh the member's character. Clubs made up mainly of rich and tin questionably solvent members some times fix no limit to the size of a cheek that the clerk may cash. In most clubs, however, the limit is fixed pretty low by the amount of cash in hand, as the clerk deposits daily, and may deposit twice a day, to avoid the awkwardness of cashing large clieiks. Every day clubs made up of men rich and pQOr usually tlx the amount for which a check will lie cashed as low as $25, and some put it even lower. Few clubs put it higher than $100, though In rare In stances club clerks consent to ca£h checks high up in the hundreds.

The older and niorp exclusive clubs are still, in theory arid practice social organizations, the newer clubs are often mere aggregations of men drawn together for their own con venience in the matter of eating ft'hd drinking, lor business purposes, to Wir tlier some common political end.

The tm l Mint Dublin is much sur prised at the outcome of the enterprise shows that not a va ry careful study had been made of the history of exposi tions. None of our esteemed Democratic contemporaries are already making their i u-tnyi*i pin-election claims to a parti v iclory next September. What a familiar sound this has! Never were nu ll tin dictions more empty than they nre today. The Republican party will go ii to the next campaign united and aggressive. It wifi lie a campaign of national importance, and one tliat will have a direct and powerful bearing upon the prosper!v of tiie country. The Rciaiblican partv in Maine will lead off in that campaign with a sweeping and decisive victory There may tie no doubt about that. Demo crats like to indulge in vain prophecies before election day. but it must tie remembered tliat making them is realty the only .satisfaction they get out of a campaign, and that no intelligent citizen is ever misled by them. A man duv n in the sunny South, (.'paries L. White of Ruckhoad. (la.. vvri’es to the Journal as follows: “I see from the p- pers that the people of Ken nebec county. Maine, are in revolt against the high prices of meat and have pledged themselves to abstain frm all meat for ten days in the hope of forcing the prices clown. I am son v vou arc suffering for beef, for down here in my own state fat cattle ate selling from 3J..10 to $3.n0 per 100 pounds live weight, and there is not much demand for them at that. It lool s as if our surplus and your needs should be equalized." Tile sympathy of our Georgia friend is appreciated and the soundness of his views regarding the desirability of equalizing the sur plus of one section and the needs ol a noth ei is beyond dispute. Wtien that cat: be done the millenium will be close at hand. Tn the meantime, we may remind Mr. While that the situatlor here ir. Kennebec county regarding the boycotting.of meat lias been somewhat exaggt rated by enterprising news paper correspondents. The Maine Festival. f Music-lovers everywhere will hearj with regret that the Maine music j festivals, which have for a good many years been maintained with so much success, are in danger of being given up. The series of concerts held this month at Portland was one of the best ever given, but the attendance seems not to have been large enough to meet the heavy expenses, and AVilliam it. Chapman, who has been the director and the moving spirit, lias resigned his position on account of the lack of general popular support. There has been much praise for his work as an organizer and conductor and lie seems to have in an unusual degree the qualities needed in a pioneer. But in all such undertakings there is apt. in the course of a few years, to come a period of strain which is not easily passed. When the novelty has worn off a large part of the sttbseribeis quietly drop out. and tlm burden of meeting the inevitable deficit falls Up on a few people. These in turn, how ever enthusiastic- they may be, grow weary in time of paying bills, and the outlook becomes dark unless signs can be discerned of a ''-a! quickening of interest in the public ui large. The. Worcester festival so* ns have passed through the critiI si.ge, and tie- Springfield festival is well on its way to such a happ' can..summation. It is to be hoped that lie- threat *f abandoning the Maine festivals will spur lia* people oi* Pori land and Bangor to new efforts.—Springfield Republican. The comment of our Massachusetts contemporary shows how widely has spread the fame of the Music Festival which Maine has enjoyed yearly during the past decade and the general ap pi"ciation of its excellence beyond our own borders. The Maine Festival, like those of Worcester and Springfield, has had its critical stages and it is possible that it is at one of them now. but the danger that it w ill be given up does not seem to in; imminent. Both Bangor nnd Portland, which have been loyally supported in these enter]irises by the other cities and large towns of the State, are determined to make the festival a permanent institution and Director Chapman, it is hoped, will continue at the helm for years to come. The Republican is mistaken in its con clusion that interest in the festival is at a low ebb in this Stat*- or that Director Chapman is really stepping aside. The World’s Gold and Silver. illicit'.! figures arc now given out re garding tile production of gold and ^il vi i in trio United States for the calen dar year U*06. The compilation is made by George I-; Huberts who re signed from iiis position as director of the mint during the past summer. Mr. Kolierts tells us that tiie production of gold in this country in 1906 was to the value ol *94,.573,S0U as against $8X.l$0, 7an for 190.”. a gain of over $6,000,000 for the veil- The chief part of the gain was in Alaska and Nevada. while California produced nearly $7,000,000 less than in the preceding year. Tn my stales and territories are giv n in the list of gold-producing states, their prodm t ranging in value from toe $99.974.-101' produced l>y Colorado down t i the $$00 worth of gold pro duced in Tennessee. No New Eng land «.i Middle slate appeals on the list. Next to Colorado and very close behind it comes Alaska with $91. "65.100 and California is third with $18. $59.9oc. Nevada ranks fourth, with $0,978,600. South h> akota fifth with $6.604.10". L’tali sixth with $5.1:10.900. and Montana seventh with $1,599,000. The same authority tells us that the total production of silver in the coun try for 1906 was 56,517,900 line ounces with a commercial value of $98,956,400, as computed with 56,101.600 fine ounces in 1905 with a commercial value of 991,076. Montana. Colorado and Utah are tin chief silver producing states and are lar ahead of all the others. Each produced about 19.000.000 ounces in 1906. Their closest rivals were Ne vaou with 5.000,0*10 ounces and Alaska with ::,000,t$.*o California produced 1.500.000 ounces, and a dozen other states were given on the list as pro dun\\ i at tCdcn the KlNwortll Amer ican correspondent picked a wild vio let Oct. 17. and a wild strawberry blossom Oft.

It meas ured Ihir'y-seven and one-half inches from tip to tip. and weighed seventeen and one-half pounds, minus one large claw, which had doubtless been lost in some fight. A wonder in the potato line was ex hibited at the store ot H. P. Hopkins in Kllswoith last week. It was one of last year's potatoes, grown by Watson Springes of North Hancock, ft was'as firm and round as the day it came out ot th" ground, in spite of the fact that, in the cellar it had grown a sprout nine feet and nine inches long. It was one of several bushels from the same lot. all sound. Lucky indeed is tile editor of the Booth bay Register. He writes; “We are getting quite fully stocked for win ter. We liavi' been presented with sev eral lots of mammoth potatoes; the ol tiee hoys have been out a night's fishing and secured a good tub of tin" young hake. Bead Commissioner and Meadow Parmer T. .J.

One of tiie most barefaced post card frauds has just been brought to light by a Portland man who recently vis ited Boston. While in the Hub iio was great!}' surprised to see two post cards offered for sal*1 on which were alleged views of Boston but which were really pictures of Portland with the name of the Maine city stamped out and the Boston name substituted. One was a picture of Fort Allen Park looking across the Gape Shore. On this the real name of the place has be- n blotted out and in its place across the top was tim information that the scene was “City Point. South Boston. Mass." The other card was a picture of Peary's Arctic ship Roosevelt lying at an -hor in Portland Harbor. In the background were the Grand Trunk el evators and the Kastern Promenade. This was labeled “Peary’s Arctic Ship Roosevcit in Boston Harbor." Maine's oldest woman.

The town sergeant then shouted. "God save the king”' and cheers were given, after which the mayor hoisted rp the first dredge of oysters.

All of us suffer from had breath sometimes our own, hut oftener that of j our friends. Nine-tenths of this bad breath comes i from some stomach trouble, and cannot J be overcome by breath perfumes or any other palliative measures. If you occasionally have a bad breath: if there is heart-burn, flatul ence and acid gulpings of undigested x food; jf the stomach burns or smarts, if there is sleeplessness, nervousness, f headaches or any other of the many symptoms rif indigestion, use Mi-o-na stomach tablets and get well. 1 Mi-o-na is not a mere digestive nor a physic, but a tonic remedy that strengthens the muscles of the stomach and bowels so that the flow of gastric juices is increased, and the food is digested naturally anil does not stay in r the stomach to ferment and poison the breath with nauseous odors. 1 A little 50-ccnt box of Mi-o-na stomach tablets lasts for a couple of vrtcks, and will ward off a dozen mild t attacks of indigestion. If you suffer c with a chronic case of stomach trouble, the use of Mi-o-na for a reasonable length of time will give you an abso- 11 lute anil complete cure. J' Flow ditch, Webster Co., have seen t so many cures made by Mi-o-na stomach tablets that they give a guarantee with every 50-cent box tiiat tile money will be refunded if the 11 remedy fails to give satisfaction. Tney take the whole risk, and a box of Mi-o-na will not cost you a penny un- t less it cures you. b Sold and guaranteed in Wntocville by Geo. W. Dorr. ,r.' THIS IS FOR SCIATIC SUFFERERS A Cass cf Ten Years’ Standing Cured by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, the Remedy That Has a Great Record cf Success. Ij' ;,i>ii pave sciatica, or sciatic rheu matism, ami the treatment you have taken proved of no benefit, it is time that you tried the remedy that has cured so many stubborn cases—Dr. Williams’ i^nk Pills. T’ie most recent proof of the, success of this remedy in such cases is the statement of Mrs. Mary Heckert, of Whiteviile, Fulton Co., Ohio. “1 suffered from sciatic rheumatism for twenty years,” slip says, “before I found in Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills a remedy that cured me. The disease in my case was probably inherited as my father had it for years. The pains wore sharp and shooting and extended all through my legs from my hips dow/i, torturing me so that I could not help crying out. They were worse at night and many times it was necessary to inject morphine to relieve me. Every year I had to pass through a spell of intense suffering. I would then be practically helpless as I could not move my legs. My kidneys were weak and had dull headaches. I became nervous, weak ami debilitated and lost in flesh. “For ten years I tried many different doctors but was never cured. I was discouraged and bad given up all hope of a cure, when I happened to read about Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I took several boxes and felt so much better that I continued their use for some time and was cured. I have never had a return of the sciatica and have been healthy ever since.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills make rich, red blood, enabling it to carry life and strength to the weak nerves and other tissues of the body. They are a specific for such blood diseases as anaemia, rheumatism, the after-effects of the grip and fevers, and for such nervous diseases as dizziness, sick headaches, neuralgia, and have accomplished miraculous results even in partial •paralysis and locomotor ataxia. Dr. Williams’ rink Pills are sold by all druggists, or direct by mail, post paid. on receipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company. Schenec tady, N. Y.
