“George A. Baribeault Is Free From
“That Tired Feeling,” and Is Un-
-bounded in His Praise of the
Remedy Used.
From the Telegram, Worcester, Mass. .
I Mr. George A. Baribeault, of No. 5 Green
Street, Worcester, Mass, is a youn man
who is Worcester born and bred. e re-
ceived his education in Worcester’s schools
and is wellIand favorably known to a large
circle of friends and acquaintances here.
His father was a local musician of some
repute, havin been years ago prominently
connected wit the organization then known
as the “ French Band,” which is now “ Wor-
cester’s famous Battery B Band.”
Geor e is now the roprietor of a store on
Green treet, where e sells cigars tobacco,
periodicals, confectionery, etc. ormerly
he was an armorer and worked at his trade
in the pistol factory of the Harrington and
Richardson Arms Company, on Park Ave-
nue. About two years a 0 while inllleir
employ he became “run own,” the exact-
ing work at his machines making him try
nervous. His appetite was poor, his diges-
tion imperfect, and his blood in 211:}: :1 bad
condition that small wounds on his hands
would take weeks to heal. He felt that
surely somethin must be done, as work had
become a bur en, owin to the loss of
strength and ambition. e had a thorough
dislike for medicine of any kind, but through
the earnest solicitation of his wife to do
something to restore his health, and on the
recommendation of friends he was induced
to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.
Very soon after beginning to use them he
felt their beneficial effect, and continuing
their use, he was soon brought around to
perfect health, which he continues to enjoy.
He is now the picture of good health; his
digestion is restored to normal conditions,
and has an appetite to match his di estion,
and the good blood bound to come t rougIh
this combination circulates through his
veins and ives a healthy glow to his face
and is comp ete evidence of ealth restored:
Mr. Baribeault procured Dr‘. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People at the drug store
of Mr. A. W. Andrews, on the corner of
Main and Wellington Streets. Mr. Andrews
says: “ I have numerous calls for these pills
and I receive many reports of their efiicient
help in restoring vigor and health to their
users.”

the after-effects of the disease. He is a well

A year ago his health began to fail and he
was '0in ed to discontinue work. That he
lives to ay is almost a miracle. He says:

Women in Business.
From the Free Press, Detroit, Mich.
A prominent business man recently ex-
pressed the opinion that there is one thing
that will prevent women from completely
filling man’s place in the business world——
they can’t be depended upon because they
are sick too often. This is refuted by Mrs.
C. \V. Mansfield, :1 business woman of 58
Farrar St., Detroit, Mich; who says:
“ A complication of female ailments kept
me awake nights and wore me out. I could
get no relief from medicine and hope was
slipping away from me. 'Ayoung lady’in
my employ gave me a box of Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills for Pale People. I took them
and was able to rest atnight for the first
time in months. I bought more and ‘took
them and they cured areas they also cured
several other people to my knowledge. I
think that if you shouldqask any of the
druggists of Detroit, who are the best buyers
of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills they would say
the young women. These pills certainly
build up the nervous system and many a
young woman owes her life to them.

Florence Stnrdivant, of Grindstone Is-

Helpless to Aid Her—How
She was Rescued.

Grindstone. It is seven miles long and three
wide. The inhabitants of this island are t
Well-informed class of people who devote
their energies to farming and quarryin for
a livelihood. In the home of one of t ese
islanders resides Florence J. Sturdivant the
four-year-old daughter of Mr. and , rs.
William H. Sturdivant. In February, 1896
she was taken sick with scarlet fever, and
after the usual run of the fever she was lefl:
with a weak back and gradually began to
lose stren h, until finally despite the best
efforts of p ysicians, her li e hung in the bil-
ance. It was at this crisis, when all seemed
darkest, that an angel of health a peered
on the scene and released little Iorence
from pain and suffering and restored her to
strength and health. This remarkable occur-
rence is best told in the words of the father.
Mr. Sturdivant said : ‘ ‘ Florence was taken
sick with scarlet fever and we immediately
called a physician. He prescribed for her
and we followed his directions closely, giving
our little patient the best of care. After
two weeks the fever subsided but Florence
was left with a very weak back. Severe
pains were constantly in the back and
stomach. We did all that possibly could be
done to relieve our little sufi‘erer, but to no
avail. The difliculty seemed to bathe the
efforts of the physician.
“Finally at the end of four months of
treatment we found our patient completely
prostrate . At this time we called an emi«
nent physician, who agreed with the diag-
nosis of our physician and said that the
trouble resulted from the scarlet fever. He
rescribed a course of treatment and we fol-
owed it faithfully for three months, but in-
stead ofimproving, Florence failed. Besides
the treatment of physicians we used many
proprietary remedies but without benefit.
“Mrs. Sturdivant and myself were com.
pletely discoura ed. A brother of my wife,
who resided in anada, but was visitin us,
advised as to use Dr. Williams’ Pink ills
for Pale People, and I purchased abox of the
pills and began to give them to Florence.
This was in October, 1896. After using the
pills a short time we could see an improve-
ment. Her strength began to return and
she would sit up in bed. IIer appetite was
restored and she ate heartily. We also
noticed a gradual brightness in her Ieyes.
ien she had taken one box the pains in
her back and stomach ceased and he:
recovery seemed certain- .
“We eagerly purchased a second box of
pills and watched with delight the change
for the better that was being wrought daily.
From sitting up in bed at times during the
day and at times standing on her feet,
Florence finally became strong enough to
walk a little. She gained in flesh and
strength rapidly and the pains gradually
left her. By the time she had used three
boxes of the ills she was evidently well.
\Ve continu the treatment using another
box, the fourth, to prevent the possibility of
a recurrence of the difiiculty.
“We cannot praise too highly the value
of Dr.Williams’ Pink Pills. I am sitive
that without their use our child wou d have
been to-day in the same sad condition of her
ear] sickness—a confirmed invalid—if in-
dee she had had the strength to withstand
so lonsg the ills of her afiliction."

TOWERS OF SILENCE.
How the Parsecs of India Dispose of the
Bodies of Their Dead.
The most unique and impressive
feature of Zoroastrian customs is their
method of disposing of the dead. Ac-
cording to their religion, earth, fire and
water are sacred elements, useful to
mankind and hence not to be polluted
in any way. They are strictly en-
joined that Idead bodies shall not be
thrown into the sea, burned in fire nor
be buried in the earth. Therefore the
only practicable course open to them is
to expose the naked bodies of their
dead in the open air, so that they may
decay and disintegrate under the or-
dinary action of the elements or be de-
voured by birds or beasts. This ex-
posure, however, is made with the con-
fident expectation that the corpse will
be speedily eaten by vultures, which
are numerous and voracious in oriental
countries, and especially so in the vi-
cinity of a tower of silence. l
These towers, or Doklimas, are not
as'numerous as is generally supposed.l
Outside of Persia and Russia the only
ones in use at present are those in
Bombay and one or two
Those in Bombay are located on the
summit of Malabar bill, a picturesque
elevation on the eastern boundary of
the city, from which a magnificent'
view of the surrounding country canl
he had. The Parse-es own about fifteen'
acres of the hill, and have transformed
the place into a veritable paradise?
There is nothing suggestive of death
about the place. It is a luxurious
garden of flowers, ornamental shrub-l
bery. palms, cypresscs, bamboo and.
other tropical trees, laid out with'
smooth, well-kept gravel walks. There
are comfortable benches in shady!
nooks, secluded ti‘ysting places and
fragrant corpses, where birds of brile

one or more mobeds, or Parsee priests,
followed by the mourning relatives
and friend of the deceased in couples,
each couple holding the opposite ends
of a. white handkerchief. All the par-
ticipants are attired in new white robes
which are never worn afterward. No
carriage or other wheeled vehicle is
ever used and the procession marches
slowly, and in silence, from the Parsee
quarter of the city to Malabar hill and
up the long flights of stone steps to
the tower garden on the summit and to
a point within thirty feet of the par-
ticular tower selected for the exposure.
Here the mourners, mobeds and khan-
dias leave the body and retire to a sa-
gree or prayer temple, near the en-
trance to the garden, where the sacred
fire, fed with sandal wood and incense.
is kept constantly burning. While
prayers are being said- for the safe
passage of the departed soul over the
“Chinvat bridge,” the corpse is taken
into the tower by two official bearers,
called nassasalars, who strip it and de‘
posit it naked in one of the open re-
ceptacles.
During all this the watchful observer
will notice evidences of excitement
among the numerous large vulturers
perched among the palms and cypresses
near the tower. They utter no cries,
but move restlessly on the branches
and indicate plainly their impatience
to begin the feast prepared for them.
The nassasalars having performed
their task, emerge from thetower, clos-
ing the door with a sharp hang. The
instant this sound is heard there arises
a. loud whir of wings and a low rOar as
of a fierce wind through a dense foresr.
A cloud of vultures darken the air
and settle down upon the tower. In
from one to two hours the bones of the
dead man are picked clean and the
gorged birds fly lazily back to their
perches or roost upon the parapet of
the tower, with' their heads turned in-
ward as if contemplating regretfully
the remains of their recent banquet.
The bearers, upon leaving the tower,
, retire to a small fuclosure near by, re-

" BRACERS" IN PARlLIAMEN'I'.
Mystery of Mr. Gladstone’s Flask Still [In-
solved—Aids to Eloquence.
The House of Commons is a. very
temperate assembly as far as intoxi-
cating liquors are concerned, butI
nevertheless, there is a very frequent
and steady demand for pick-me-ups
during every session of Pariament.
As a rule there are three occasions
in the life of a. Parliamentary man
when he requires the “Dutch courage"
which alcoholic pick-me-ups are de-
signed to supply—the first when, as a
new member, he timidly advances up
the floor of the House to take the oath
and his seat; the second when he rises
to make his maiden speech; and the
third when he retires from the House
into the cold shades of oblivion.
The pick-me-ups of Parliament are
not all compounded of intoxicating
liquors. Each member has his own
pet pick-nie-up, and sometimes it
takes the form of an innocent lemon
SQuash. Mr. Jesse Collings always for-
tifies himself-with one of these cooling
drinks when he intends to make a‘
speech.
In fact, the house of Commons is so
much impressed with the importance
of temperance that it is contrary to
the standing rules for a. member While
making a. speech'to drink anything
stronger than water. This rule—tee-
totalers will be sorry to hear—is more
honored in the breach than in the ob-
servance. From the Prime Minister
downwards it is broken with unfail-
ing regularity. .. .. '
When Mr. Gladstone was in the
House of Commons he was the prin-
cipal offender in this respect. When-
ever he intended to make a. big speech
he would produce from the recesses of
his capacious pockets 3. small glass
