However, this sort of illicit distil. ling; as it is carried on in cellars and attics of the city, is/ a very diferent affair from "moonshining." It is prosaic as soap' boiling and little no danger attends the raids. But the "moonshiner," the rugged, picturesque hero of the craggy mouu- tain side, with his primitive still hid den in the underbush, first cousin 1, the cowboy, in the estimation of the small boy, and next of kin to the feudsman--who, by the way, has been found both among the "moonshiners" and under the banners of the "reven. uer" for the sole purpose of lawfully slaying 'his enemy--is doomed. His day is past, because the peopie to whose toleration he owed his ex. istence have ceased to tolerate him They no longer regard him as merely a technical lawbreaker, a rather-to-be admired rebel against an unjust law, but as a-serious menace to the entire community in that it is from him di rectly or indirectly that the negro ele- ment gets most of its liquor, under the influence of which it becomes a AS on hideous danger to the entjre commun- ity "Moonshining" is being uprooted in its own stronghold, and by the worl of its own people. SCIATICA CURED. -- Mrs. Chas. F. Haley Restored By Dr. William's Pink Pills. "I was utterly helpless with sciati- ca. 1 could not move in bed without aid. Doctors treated me, but I did not improve. 1 used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and to-day ama well wo- man." This tribute to the merits of Dr. Williams® Pink Pills is made by . Charles F. Haley, of Yarmouth, ) Two years ago she suffered most severely from an attack of sci- atica, and for a number of + months was an invalid confined to her bed. She further states: "It is impossible for me to describe the pain from which I sufiered. 1 endeavored to continue my profession as a music teacher, but was forced to give it up. The doctor said the trouble was saatica, but bis treatment did not help me. I could scarcely take a step without the most acute pain shooting through my back and down the limb. Finally I took to my bed and lay there perfectly help- less, and could not move without aid. The pain was never absent. I consult- ed another doctor, but with no better results, and I began to think I would always be a sufferer. One day a friend who was in to see me asked why I did not take Dr. Williams* Pink Pills, and on 'her advice 1 de- cided to do so. The résult was be- vond my most hopeful expectations. All the pains and aches disappeared and.l have never since been troubled with Sciatica I have no hesitation in récommending Dr. Williams' . Pink Pills for the trouble from which I suf- fered." When the blood is poor the nerves are starved; - then comes the agony of sciatica, neuralgia, or perhaps partial paralysis. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make new, rich, red blood, January Ist next.
