MSS BULLREL vi : OVER FEARFUL DECLINE OF STRENGTH GOMPLETELY ARRESTED, Medical Skill Had Almost Exhausted Itvelf in Vain Attempts to Relieve Her—A Remarkable Result. _ The recovery of Miss Gertrude L. Bull is of great interest to the medical world. A very bad congh followed @ severe at- tack of pneumonia. It seemed impossi- ble ‘to break it up or to restore her strength, which had been sadly under- mined. In spite of the best efforts of ‘the doctors and the use‘of several adver- tised modes of treatment her condition daily grew more serious. She finally discontinued all medicine ‘and gave her- ‘self up to despair. “‘ What was your condition at this | || borrower; ‘time ?”’ she was asked. ** My stomach was so weak I could not | keep food down. I suffered from con- | stant nausea. My kidneys were in ter- rible condition. My feetand ankles were swollen so badly'that it pained me even to stand on'them. Iwas very bilious. My heart was in bad shape so I ‘could not.go up and: down stairs or stand-any exertion orsleep in a natural position.” “«It seems'a wonder that you should ever have ‘recovered. How did it happen?’ “*You maywell call it a marvel, but Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills wrought it. None of my friends thought I-could live many months longer. My parents had no hope. Just. then a pamphlet adver- tising Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills‘for Pale People was thrown in our door. It was a great event forme. These:pills saved me from the:grave. Withina week from the time I began to take them'I felt bet- ter, and in three months I-was entirely well. ‘I cannot praise Dr. ‘Williams’ Piuk Pills/too highly and I dearly hope that my experience may bring good to some other sufferers.” Miss Bull, who was so ‘remarkably cured, resides at Union Grove, Illinois. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills act immediately on the blood, purifying and enriching it. In all debilitating diseases, such as lung troubles, grip, fevers,:and in all cases in which the system is thoroughly run down, these pills perform wonders. They are sold by all druggists through- out the world. A valuable bocklet on diseases of the blood, will be sent free to any one who applies for it to Dr. Wil- liams Medicine Oo., Schenectady, N. ¥.

What the Dentist Says. Toledo, Ohio, March 27th—(Special) —Harry T. Lewis, the well known den- tist of 607 Sumit street, this city, is telling of his remarkable cure of Kid- ney Disease by using Dodd’s Kidney Pills. , “f was flat on my back and must say I had almost given up all hope of ever getting any help,” says Dr. Lewis. “My kidneys had troubled me for years. The pains in my back were se- vere and [ had to get up several times at night. { tried different medi- eines but kept on getting worse till I was laid up. “Then a friend advised me to try Dodd’s Kidney Pills and in about two weeks I started to improve. Now I am glad to admit I am cured and I cannot praise Dodd’s Kidney Pills too highly.” If you take Dodd’s Kidney Pills when your kidneys first show signs of being out of order you will never have Bright's Disease, Diabetes, Dropsy, Gravel or Rheumatism. ideal. “We can’t have everything in this life,” said the philosopher. “No,” answered Mr. Dustin Stax. “The ideal but impossible combination is a millionaire menu with a deck hand appctite.” A 480-ACRE FARM YIELDS 25 PER CENT PROFIT IN A YEAR. What a Mercer County (Ohic) Farmer Received from One Year’s Crop. Extracts from an interesting letter from P. H. Rynhard, of Starbuck, Manitoba, Canada, gives an excellent idea of the prosperity of those who have gone from the United States to Canada. He says: “I bought, August, 1903, 480 acres of land, paying $12,000 for it. We threshed 2,973 bushels of wheat and between 1200 and 1300 bushels of oats and barley from 200 acres. But part of the wheat went down before filling and \was noi harvested except for hay. The crop was worth at threshing .time, $3,000. Besides 120 acres laying idle .except a timothy meadow, which is not included:in this -estimate. Counting the value of the product and the increase of .value of land .will pay me more than 25 per cent on the investment. Two broth- ers in the same neighborhood bought i160 acres each six years ago. They have not done a single ‘thing to this land except to fence it and break and Cultivate about one-half .of it. Har- vested last year 28 bushels wheat per aere. This year 27 bushels per acre. They can get any day .$25 per acre. These are only a few.of many hun- dreds of such chances. It looks like boasting, but ‘truth is justifiable and the world ought to know it, especial- ly the home-seeker. I know of quite a few farmers that have made for- tunes in from 10 to 20 years, retired with from $20,000 to $100,000. Writing concerning another district in the Canadian West, S. L. Short says: “Dear Sir—I have to inform you | that I have just returned from the Carrot River Country in Saskatche- wan, where I located land of the very finest black vegetable loam, Which 1 ‘am proud of, and will move in the spring. Farmers are still plowing there. A mild climate and beautiful country to behold. Cattle are fat and running outside. Wood and water good. Saw oats weighing 42 pounds to buskel. Potatoes large and well ripened; also wheat that brought there 82 cents. The country exceed- ed my expectations. Saw oats in stock, thicker on- the ground than ap- pears in many, of the illustrations sent out in descriptive pamphlets. I have been in many western states, but the soil excels any I ever saw.” PRESENTMENT 1S GREAT. Feeling in Nerway Against the Swedes » 4s Strong. ~ ‘When Fru Ostberg and C. F, Lund- quist are compelled to abandon their Norwegian tour and return to Sweden ‘on account f poor houses there must be more resentment in Norway against the Swedes than has been sus- pected on ‘this side of the water. “Lun- kan” is deservedly popular in Norway, and particularly in Christiania, and when he announced a concert togeth- er with Fru Ostberg he expected the customary large attendance, especial- ly-as the newspapers were saying sO many nice things. But some of the radicals stirred up an undercurrent of prejudice against the Swedes, and to the surprise of all the sentiment grew. The advance sale showed that there would not be a handful at ‘the concert and the engagement was cancelled. ‘The incident has not provoked any special display of irritation in Sweden, ‘but of course none of the papers can refrain from calling attention to the fact that Christian Sinding, the Nor- ‘wegian composer, is drawing full houses wherever he appears in Swed- en. If the newspapers did not become aroused over the regretable Lundquist affair they did over an editorial on the union situation which appeared in the Karlstads Tidning. The paper expressed surprise that a people who had followed Engelbrecht in the revolution against the union with Denmark cannot understand that Norway must feel dissatisfied with her position in relation to the union with Sweden. i Some of the contemporaries almost exploded. “It was not through any petty pride or question sof etiquette that Engelbrecht and his Dal boys sev- ered the union, but because women and children were brutally mistreated and the people murdered and robbed. “When has Sweden or the Swedes committed such deeds in Norway?” asks one paper. “No other people has borne such bur- dens or suffered so much to maintain northern unity as the Swedes. They respected the Kalmar union for they realized the importance of unity and it was not until the fundamental agree- ments of the articles were broken by the Danes that the Swedish patience was broken. But the radicals still have the effrontery to compare Nor- way’s present ‘struggle for liberty’ with the proud and brilliant deed which the Swedes carried out at a time when the Norwegians without complaint bore the mark of a province.” AUTOMOBILE DELIVERY. Denmark Makes Contract for Carrying the Mails. Denmark has recently entered into a ten-year contract with a Copenhagen company for the delivery of mails over the stage routes in Denmark proper. This company proposes, with the con- sent of the postoffice department and under its supervision, to install auto- mobile coaches in place of horse-drawn vehicles. This is an important branch of the postal service, since there are so many small islands without rail- ways. ‘The passenger and freight traffic make many of the routes quote profitable. Four automobile omni- buses of French, and, probably, Ger- man and Scoich manufacture, will be given a'three months’ trial, beginning with September of this year. It is con- fidently expected that the experiment will be successful, anti if so, that there will be-a large demand during the next two or three years for automobiles of the omnibus ‘type. The car must accommodate sixteen “persons, including ‘the driver, and be capable of carrying one ton of freight besides, at an average speed of twelve miles-an hour.on-a’9 per cent grade. ‘Norway's Rich Soil. Supt. Hirsch of the farm school in Kristian’s amt, Norway, says that the soil of ‘Norway is the best in Northern Europe. Much is said and written of the fruitful Jands of Denmark and Hol- | land, but Mr. Hirseh declarés that all of Jutland is poorer than the great- er portion of agricultural Norway, while Holland has nothing toe compare with the soil in the eastern distriets of: Norway. It is only by ‘tntense eultivatien, careful study and unremitting labor that Denmark and Holland yield so richly and attain their reputation for productiveness.. Norway has better natural advantages and,should make more out of them. There has in recent years been a great improvement and the farming classes are increasing in wealth. Diphtheria Epidemic in Nykoping. Nykoping, Sweden, has had an epi- demic of diphtheria for several months which puzzled the health authorities greatly. The schools were closed, quatantine established, and still the epidemic spread with deadly results. The Canadian Government Agents at different points report that the en- quiries for literature and railroad rates, &c., to Western Canada are the greatest in the history of their work, Recently it wag discovered that diph- theria had prevailed among the chil- dren on a dairy farm since last No- vember, the children milking cows and churning putter which was sold in Ny- koping. FINNS IN CUBA, Must Have Money to Start in Orange Growing Business. Some of the Finns from the United States are settling in Cuba of late and that island ‘holds out good induce- ments for this nationality. However, Finns expecting to locate there should not go without some little capital. The Finns already there are engaged in orange culture, and to do this success- fully the grower must, of course, wait three or four years before he begins to realize from hig trees. August Ed- wards, editor of the leading Finnish newspaper, recently made a trip to Cuba to a settlement of twenty Finns and reports that they are getting along nicely. LETTERS IN NORWEGIAN. Swedish Foreign Office Starts an Inno- vation. The Norwegian department of com- merce recently received a letter from the Swedish foreign office in Norwe- gian, and the oldest clerk could not have been more surprised if the house had fallen. Ever since any one can remember the foreign office has onl? written to the department of com- merce in Swedish. The change is due to K. Wedel-Jarlsberg, now first secre- tary in the foreign office. Anyway, the incident, quite trivial in itself, has pleased many people in Norway, and they intimate that a few more of the same kind might have a salutory in- fluence in maintaining cordial ‘rela- tions. Will Decide Norway’s Fate. Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, the Arctic ex- plorer, who is making a short stay in London to discuss scientific matters with the Royal Geographical society, being interviewed on the consular diffi- culty between Sweden and Norway, said that ‘the situation was graver than generally understood abroad, and that there was a very serious danger to the Norway’s undisputéd rights. Explaining the history of the dis- pute in detail, Dr. Nansen said that the consular question involved a test as to whether Sweden was prepared honestly and honorably to carry out the treaty of union, or if Norway was to become a mere Swedish depend- ency. Owing to the fact that Norway is protectionist and Sweden free trad- ing, and because of Norway’s more extensive sea trade and other diverg- encies of ‘commercial interests, Dr. Nansen said, tt was absolutely essen- tial for Norway to have her own con- sular service; but since Sweden’s breach of faith in her failure to carry out the agreement on the subject ar- ranged by the Lagerheim committee in 1902, ‘Norwegians were reluctantly driven to the conclusion that it is use- less to enter into further negotiations. “We wish the union maintained,” Dr. ‘Nansen continued, “but it must be on the unalterable foundation of equal rights of both sides. No government that can possibly come into power in Norway would offer territorial or oth- er concessions with a view to obtain- ing Russian aid in the unhappy dis- pute, and declared that was the last thing in the world Norwegians would dream of doing. Charlotte Got Cold Feet. Fru Charlotte Wiehe-Bereny, the Danish-Parisian actress, was compelled to abandon ‘her African tour. In ‘Al- Giers the scene lofts are open on ac- count of the mild climate, but when the little Dane arrived there the snow lay in huge drifts everywhere and the cold was intense, so the tour was ; abandoned and the company returned | to Europe and steam-heated houses. Danish Bishop Dies . Bishop Hans Valdemar Styhr of the church ef Denmark, and formerly min- ister of education, died March 6 at Co- penhagen, aged 66 years. He ranked high as a theologian, was unusually | practical in his church work and in 4 politics. In his ministry he was at- | tacked by the radical press, but prin- | cipally through its prejudice against any one in the conservative party. Betrothal Reception in Egypt. The betrothal of Prince Gustaf Adolf of Sweden and Norway and Princess | Margaret of Connaught was formally celebrated at Ghizeh palace in Cairo. About 150 guests attended the func- tion, among them being an Egyptian prineess, English army officers and all the foreign diplomats at the khedival court. Sweden's Nobility. Sweden has 754 noble families, ac- cording to an authority. There are sixty families entitled to title of count. Some of the families have numerous branches, while others are very limit- ed in this respect, and in a few cases almost extinct. Work by Swedish Missionaries.
