Mr, A. H. Crausby, of 158 Kerr St.,
Memphis, Tenn., says that his wife
paid no attention to a small lump which
appeared in her breast, but it soon de
veloped into a cancer of the worst type,
and notwithstanding the treatment of
the best physicians, it continued to
spread and grow rapidly, eating two
holes in her breast. The doctors
~ soon pronounced

LIGHTNING CARRIED DEATH, [
Current Passed Through Ten Men to Kill
the Eleventh,
WAYNESBORO, GA., April I.—A freaky
flash of lightning, after passing directly
through ten men here last night, killed
Frank Dent, who was the eleventh in a
row of that many men.
Dent was a convict and was strung on
a chain with ten companions when death i
came suddenly without any warning. So
quickly was his life snapped that his as
sociates, through whom the death-deal
ing current ran knew mnothing of their
danger until they observed Dent's life
less torm flat upon the ground beside
them,
The bath of eleven convicts were work
ing in a field late in the evening when a
severe storm came up. The guard quickly
strung the gang up with a long chain and
bustled them toward a tree. Dent was
at one end of the chain while the other
end was made fast about the tree, thus
securing the crowd. A bright flash came
and in an instant the tree was in splin
ters. Snapping and sizzling the the cur-‘
reat leaped from the tree along the links
of chain, making a crackling noise as it
went, The flash blinded the gang and
long before the sulphuric smell passed
away the convicts awoke from the shock
to find Dent, on whom tk: ~urrent stopp
ed, dead and two others slightly burn
ed.
The example of W. W. Brewer, jus
tice of the peace and a prominent citi
zen of Mt. Jevett, Pa.,is worthy of
emulation. He says: ‘I never leave

Remedy and always recommend it to

The Strange Affliction of Little
Wilbur Robinson.
He Stopped Growing —Limbs Became Useless and
He was Unable to Walk—His Cure Brought
About in a Singular Man_ncr.
Hearing that 8 child near Iron Station,
Lincoln County, had been greatly benefited
by the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for
Pale People, a representative of the Observer
went thither to see and ascertain the extent
of the benefit the child had received.
Riding out on December 5, 1803, to a little
country cottage in the pine woods, a mile
distant from Iron Btation, the reporter saw
a bright-faced, young woman, a pure anglo
saxon type with ligqlt hair and blue eyes,
standing in the doorwaKawith two plump
gmy-oheeked children half hiding behind
er dress. Mentioning that he was looking
for a family of Ro%)insons, the woman
seemed at first a little suspicious.
“You’re a stran%er in my eye,” she said.
“I am trying to find a child named Wil-|
bur Robinson, who was greatly benefited by |
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for f’ale People.”” |
The young mother smiled and a pleased '
look came into her eyes asshe said “comein,”’ ‘
and added, “I guess that’sthe one,”” pointing
to the younger of the two little boys.
[t was an humble home, the family being
composed of that sturdy farming class that
goes to make ‘fi) oue of the stmngest and
ruest types of North Carolina’s good people.
The hushand, Robert O. Robinson, runs the
farm of 200 acres, but was off to the mill at ‘
the time. |
The mother, Carrie L. Robinson, told a
remarkable story of the cure of her little
boy from the effects of la grippe. Her aged,
white-haired mother, Mrs. Sarah A. Bandy
sat near and emphasized every word
of the daughter. 'nge little boy, Wilbur,
who owed his recovery to Dr. Williams’
effective remedy, played about the house
and yard, and was into every conceivable
kind or mischief. It really scemed that he
must have taken too many of Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills so great was the energy with
which he proseented his pranks. Three
times his mother had to stop her conversa
tion and rush out to rescue the reporter’s
bicyele, which was leaning against the house
outside, and with which V%’ilbur way be
coming almost too familiar.
,This is the story the mother told:
“Wilbur was born AuHust 8, 1898. Ho’
wa. a stout, healthy boy till he was nearly
five months old. Between Christmas and
New Year’s he took thefrippe. A physician
at Iren Station attended him, ans Ke was
st;‘pposed to have recovered. But the after
effects of the malady lingered with disas
trous results. In March, 1894, his parents
noticed that he could not stand upon his
feet, although before his taking the grippe
he could do so easily. He could not hear'
the weight of his bedy on his feet; his leis
were not growing aow nor the muscle f L |
them devefio ing. He wasnot treated, how
ever, till in t'fxe %all. about the last of Octo
ber. When Mr. Robinson took his cotton to
Lincolnton, the county seat, he also carried
his baby along, and a Lincolaton physician '
prescribed’for him, recommending a lotion
for'rubbing his litabs. This helped the
ehild only temporarily. Twice afterward
this physician was consulted. e told the
parents that the child might some day be |
able to walk and again he mifiht not. They
would just have to, let him ‘“‘grow along,”
as the mother expressed i, and see what
developed. At this period the child’s legs
appedred to be shrunken. , As his mother
says they were “as soft as cotton.”” Here
was a boy fourteen months eld, who not only
could not walk, but could not bear his weight
on his feet. %
In some way—they do not know how—a
?:myhlet found its way to the Robinson
mily. Old Mrs. Bandy fished it out of a
3ureau drawer. It had the pictuc" of twe
ogs puring over a-fence on one cdver, and
on the other a herd of cows drinking iu a
cool stream near a bridge. Both on the
fence and on the bridge, on the respective

Y IIROY, -] AN ”1? i
covers, was this line : ‘“‘Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills for Pale People.”’
“When I read that those pills would build
up the bonc; 1 felt that they were the things
for Wilbur,” said his mother.
“Qld Mrs. Bandy sat u% nearly all of one
ni%bt reading this pamphlet, with all the
testimonials 1t contained. A few days after
th(:{v sent to one of the two village stores
an got two boxes of the pills. fhis was
about the last of November, 1894. Befors
ha had finished ta.ring the first box, the
little fellow was able to bear his weight on
his feet, and before the second box was all
gone, he could hold a chair before him and
push it across the floor.
“We bcgm& by giving him a third ef a pill
at a time, afterward increasing the dose to
a half, so they held out a long time,”” said
his mother. ‘‘We ('ommenceg the second
box in January, this year. We had to send
to Lincolnton, eight miles away, to get the
next boxes. After taking the third box, in
March, the child began to go a few steps at
a time, but he didn’t wali by himself till
in SBeptember. The fourth box, or part of it,
was administered in August.”
The testimony of the mother was that the
child’s u&petite and, indeed, his whole sys
tem was elgod b{ the use of the pills.
Mrs. Bandy, who had been looking over
a sort of diary she keeps, at this point in the
conversation, read this entry: “Sefit. the 25th.
Wilbur begins to walk alone by himself.”
“After he once learned to walk,” said his
mother, “we could hardly keep him in sight
of the house, and he was cured Y)y four boxes,
lacking ten pills. Mother says, and always
has said, the Lord directed somebody to
send us that Hamphlet of Dr. Williams.”
“You really believe the child’s cure is
due to Dr. Wi{liams’ Pills ?”’ was asked.
“I am really convinced the pills cured
him,”’ the motg'er answered. ‘I haven’t
the slightest doubt about it.”
And the boy’s grandmother chimed in:
“I'm just as sure of it as I am of living.
I'i tafi‘e an oath on the Bible that that is
what did it.”
The neighbors in all the section around
the little village of Iron Station know w
talk about the remarkable cure of this ba
who miZnt have been a cflpple for life, had
he znot, even at the afie of two vears, one
month and seventeen days, been enabled to
walk for the first time by the use of Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale Peo(fle.
This story may seem to the reader like a °
fabrication, but is told as the child’s mother
told it to the reporter. In order to show
their appreciation, Mrs. Robinson furnished
the following testimonial and signed it. (She
says she is willing at any time to make
sworn affidavit to her statements):
