SLEEPLESSNESS AND
NERVE EXHAUSTION
PRODUCED BlUrai RREDMHISJI.
Two Cases in Gladwin County, Mich., Cited to Prove
the fact that Nerve Debility can be Treated
with a Nerve Food Successfully.
DO NOT USE A STIMULANT, USE A NERVE FOOD.
From the Courier-Herald, Saginaw, Mich.
In the long list of diseases that human
flesh is heir to, none perhajis are more pain
ful than inflammatory rheumatism and its
attendant ills. The sufferer lies racked by
pains that seem unbearable and many times
even death itself would be a relief. Tor
tured by pains that seem beyond human
skill to drive away or even alleviate, the
wretched sufferer tosses on a bed of pain,
hoping that something may be found to re
lease him from the thralls of that dreaded
malady. A case of this character recently
came under the observation of a representa
tive of the Courier-Herald, while he
chanced to be in the thriving, little town of i
Gladwin, the county seat of Gladwin
county, Michigan. While there he heard
of the case of Mrs. William Flynn, who
had been a victim of inflammatory rheu
matism in its severest form and had endured
untold sufferings from it. It had drawn her
hands out of shape until they resembled
bird’s claws. She had fallen away in flesh
until she was almost a living skeleton and
her sufferings were so great and constant
that she became a victim of sleeplessness.
All of these troubles contrived to make her
condition most alarming and she became the
victim of hallucinations, seeing terrible
things and fancied dangers everywhere.
Then, at a time when the most serious
consequences were threatened, she was in
duced to try a remarkable remedy that had ,
cured one of her friends and after a short ,
time a happy termination of her terrible 1
illness was assured. Asked in regard to
her trouble and its treatment Mrs. Flynn
responded as follows: “Two years ago 1
had a terrible attack of inflammatory rheu- '
matism that prostrated me utterly so that I
was entirely helpless. The trouble was in
a very violent form and drew my hands out
of all shape. It also affected my lower
limbs, which became badly swollen and
helpless. I had had attacks of rheumatism
several times before but none so violent as
this. I had constant pains in the joints and
violent headaches. There were also times
when I had chills very severe and these
were followed by periods of violent per
spiration that was exceedingly profuse and
weakened my constitution. This condition
kept on for about three months. [
“One day a lady friend who had used Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills for Palo People with
great benefit, met my little girl on the street I
and on learning of my condition advised me !
to get some Pink Pills ami take them. I
got a box and began to use them according ;
to directions. After two or three doses they
acted very clearly on my nervousness. I
had not been aide to sleep for a long time
and this was beginning to tell on me very
severely. I had fallen away in flesh until I
was very thin ami weak and my hands wore
li ir ily more than skin and bone. As I said
rfter two or three doses of Pink Pills they j
l e-m to quiet my nervousness, and I could ■
s' l . I continued to gain so that in a tew
r ii ith: I was a-ain aide to l>e up and do my
< ' n • Th ' rheumatism has nearly left ■
m'. lam free from the pains in the head !
■' ' ' night I can get healthful and refresh- 1
’ ' The-e pills have done a great
■ ’ <i c <o .fl f l)r Hie an 1 I cannot speak too
■ - ■••' them. There are also other cases
1 i ‘ wnere they have been used and
v ! heu -tieially as they did in
• a 1 cannot say too much for
i ; ■ th ’ w words of testimony
r :h -t "tiiers w !,o are suffering as I

NORTH GEORGIA GOLD.
English Capitalist Getting Into
the field—Hare Lots of Money,
Atlanta, March 6—Considerable
excitement was created here today
by the application of E. F, M.
Mayne, of London, England, is
here as the representative of
wealthy English capitalists who
are interested in the development
of the gold mining interests of the
northern part of the state. Capt.
Mayne says his company has ob
tained control of 20,000 acres of
the most valuab'e gold lands of
the state and he now wants a work
ing charter with which to begin
operations in this state. He
claims that his company is capi
talized at £1,000,000, and that
they are going into the gold min
ing business in earnest.
New Bond for Sanford,
Mr. V. T. Sanford, tax collector
of 1 loyd, who has had so much
worry of late in connection with
his office, is on the eve of amica
bly adjusting his political troub
les.
Sanford claimed that he sent
his bond to the executive depart
ment, are required by law, but the
paper was never found.
Believing that the bond was mis
carried by the mails, the governor
has allowed Mr. Sanford to make a
new bond.
Mr. Sanford has acceded and
everything is now working smooth
ly.
HOOD’S Sarsaparilla has over and
over again proved by its cures,
when all other preparations failed, that
It is the One True BLOOD Purifier.
Recently, while a representative of th«
Courier-Herald was at the thriving village
of Gladwin, Gladwin County, he heard of a
case of this nature and that it had yielded to
a short treatment with a celebrated remedy,
the name of which has become a household
word in every hamlet, village and city in the
land. The victim of this unusually severe
case of nervous trouble was Ransom Sim
mons, an old and well-known resident of the
village. His nervous condition had grown
worse and worse, until the slightest unusual
noise, or even the opening of a door would
almost drive him frantic. Skilled physi
cians had studied over his case and pre
scribed the usual remedies, but their efforts
were unavailing, and the patient continued
I to get worse.
Finally,one day in reading a newspaper,he
encountered an item in regard toacasc some
what similar to his own, and read with great
interest of the means by which it had been
; cured. lie at ouce decided to try the rem
edy, and did so. As to the results of its use,
we can not do better than quote Mr. Sim
mons’ own words. When asked to narrate
his experience, he spoke as follows:
“ As the result of a long, continued illness
i I became the victim of nervous debility in
its most violent form about four years ago.
It kept growing worse and worse until I had
become so nervous that the least noise around
the house, or the entrance of anyone into the
: house, would throw me into a violent nerv
■ ous paroxysm. I tried medicines for the
trouble, but was not relieved. Finally, I
read in a Detroit, Michigan paper about a
cure of a trouble somewhat similar to mine,
effected by a medicine known as Dr. Wil
liams’ Pink Pills, and decided to give these
pills a trial. After I had taken a box of the
pills, my nervousness began to be relieved,
and after taking ten boxes of Pink Pills I was
so well that I discontinued their use, and
have not had to use them or anything for
nervous troubles for two years past. In my
case they acted quickly and effectually on
my nervous troubles, and they proved an
efficient and reliable remedy. Since using
them I have recommended them to others,
and they have used them with great benefit.”
(. Mrs. Simmons corroborated her husband’s
1 statements,and was earnest in her good words
for the remarkable remedy that had been the
means of affording her husband much needed
rest, and had freed him from the violent
nervous disability that had made his life
miserable. Many cases similar to this one
of Mr. Simmons’ have been noted, wherein
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have been used
with eminently satisfactory and speedy re
sults, and liability to frequent and excessive
nervous excitement, has been readily relieved
and the shattered nerves built up and re
stored to a normal, healthy condition.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pit’s contain, in a
i condensed form, all the elements necessary
to give now life and richness to the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They are an
unfailing specific for such diseases as loco
j motor ataxia, partial paralysis, St Vitus’
dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nerv
ous headache the after effect of la grippe,
palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow
complexions, all forms of weakness either in
male or female. Pink Pills are sold by all
dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt
of price, 50 cents a box, or six boxes for
$2.56 (they are never sold in bulk or by the
100), by addressing Dr. Williams’ Medicine
Company, Schenectady. N- Y.
Reflection of a Bachelor.
Probably a woman could never ex
plain why she cries at a wedding.
When a man says his life is an open
book, he means ahat you can see only
two pages.
The girl who is never seen without
a sunny smile is just about as monoton
ous as a white-washed fence.
The more a girl tries to faint grace
fully the more she reminds you of a
man who has just stepped on a slippery
coal hole cover.
After a girl has once found what is
the proper thing in men’s neckties, you
can never make her believe that she
isn’t a good judge of human nature.—
New York Press.
An old man, sauntering across a
street the other day, was rudely
jostled by a youthful wheelman.
The collision tumbled the rider off,
and the old gentleman jpromptly
grabbed him by the ear. “Durn
you, ' he said, with considerable as
perity, “I’ve a great mind to take
you across my knee and spank you
good.” But he didn’t do it. He
just held the young fellow a min
ute and then let him go. “Why
didn't you spank him, uncle?” said
a bystander. “Well,” replied the
old man, “I certainly would if I
had not been a little afraid that
mebbe it was a girl.”

Obituary,
Andrew Weaver, the subject of
this sketch, was the sou of F. A.
and Crissie Weaver, of this coun
ty-
He was born December Ist, 1874’
and while in his teens made a pro
fession of religion, and as an evi
dence of his faith in Christ he
joined the Baptist church at Rock
Hill, in Alabama, and was baptiz
ed by his Uncle, Rev 0. A. Gard
ner. Andy, (we call him this be
cause all knew him by this name)
was a good boy even before he con
fessedJChrist as his saviour. He
was a regular attendant at Sunday
school while a very small boy
Doubtless it was there that he
learned the great importance of
becoming a Christain, and giving
his life to God. Andy w r as not
like a great many of his age. He
always had a disposition to shun
bad associations and to seek the
good. He was a young man re
spected and loved by ail who knew
him.
But alas! In the very vigor of
youth, at an hour when it was
least expected he was taken with
congestion, and soon it was discov
ered that his case was hopelessj
The physicians could give no re
lief. In a short time the anxious
father, the patient mother and lov
ing brother and sisters realized
that death was hunting for the
life cords. Soon the brittle thread
was cut and the soul was free. Oh,
how sad to give up our loved ones
in the bloom of youth. But death
is no respecter of persons. The
Master had use for him or he
would not have taken him.
Andy leaves a father and moth
er, brothers and sisters to mourn
his absence. Let us all look for
ward to the time when we shall
meet our loved ones on the shore
of sweet deliverance.
Why should our tesri of sorrow flow
When God recalls his own;
And bids them leave a world of W’oe
For an immoatal crown.

SOUTHERN RAILWAY’S
> Exhibit at the Tennessee Cen
tenial Exposition.
I Arrangements have been perfect-'
ed by which the Southern Rail
way’s territory will be represented
at the Exposition which opens at
1 Nashville May 1. This, like for
mer exhibitsjuade by that Com
pany, will include sample speci
mens of mineral, agricultural, for
est and other products of the States
of Virginia, North and South Car
olina, Georgia, Alabama, Missis
sippi, East Tennessee and Ken
tucky. This Ccmpanyls exhibit at
the Atlanta and Pittsburg Expo
sitions attracted the attention of
the agriculturist, manufacturer,
miner, stock-raiser and others, and
did more to educate the visitors to
an appreciation of the great wealth
and possibilities of the South than
any other exhibit that was shown,
and it is the policy of the Company
to actively continue this method
of advertising. The scenic beau
ties of the country through wh’ch
the Southern Railway runs will
not be neglected in this exhibit.
Practically, this exhibit will be
a bureau of information, so that
visitors from the North and abroad
can obtain specific data relative to
all branches of industry in and
tributary to the vast number of
points on the Southern Railway.
This exhibit is under the direc
tion of the Land and Industrial
. Department of the Southern Rail
way with headquarters at Wash
ington, D. C., and persons located
along that system having exhibit
material that they think will in*-
terest the public and thereby help
advance the best interest of the
section from which it comes, should
at once communicate with the
agent of that Department.
This is an exhibit in which every
citizen of this section should be in
terested, and we hope that some of
our readers can supply something
to represent our territory.
