LOW WATER IN
HIGH RESERVOIRS
Engineer Schussler Tells His
Annual Story to the Super*
visors==Pumps and Pipe.
Spring Valley Asks for the Adoption of a
Schedule That Will Increase the Vast
Revenue of the Corporation.
The Supervisors yesterday listened \
to the old story told by Chief Engi- \
neer Schussler of the Spring Valley ;
Water Works. He spoke of tunnels !
projected, of pumping plants in pros- j
pect and presented items of proposed
improvement aggregating in expense I
$?00,000. Reinforced by Attorney Kel- j
logg and Secretary Pelham W. Ames,
the engineer advanced the notion that
the city ought to allow, in fixing the
water rates for the year, interest on
this i ontemplated outlay of nearly a
million dollars. A question or two
dropped in by Supervisor Britt indicat
• i the student of monopoly that |
• stress is to be laid on the employ- j
ment of labor to bore the tunnels and
erect the pumping works. The infer
ence is thrown out at the start that I
this labor will not be engaged if Spring j
» has to pay for it, but will be \
>yed for the advantage of the ;
water corporation if the city consents
the bills.
■n the Supervisors were called to
■ Mayor Phelan made a short ad
dress to the members. He mentioned
5 p-r cent as the rate of interest which i
i not be exceeded in calculating I
the income which the corporation |
should derive. The Mayor also re- j
marked that the company during the j
past year had issued new stock to the
value of $600,000 without the consent of
the Board of Supervisors. In conclu-
T h? Mayor said that the board was
-■;J by its own acts and by a party
t to aliow more than 5 per
cent interest on the capital of the com
■ ■>'■
n of Supervisor Rottanzi the
board went into committee of the whole |
with Supervisor Clinton in the chair.
Dr. Clinton spoke of having visited
many large eicies during his recent ab
sence. He had given some attention to
the subject of water supply and the
thereof. He was convinced that
the people of San Francisco were pay
ing 50 per cent more for water than
was paid by the people of any other
large city. The public looked to the
Board of Supervisors for justice and
relief.
Supervisor Rottanzi suggested that
there should be an investigation re
lating to the recent issue of 7000 shares
of stock by the Spring Valley corpora
tion.
Supervisor Britt desired a report
from the Water Committee on a com
munication from the company recent
ly submitted to the board.
Dr. Clinton promised that a report
would be presented to the next regular
meeting of the board.
Herman SchussJer. chief engineer of
the water company, was called to en
lighten the board on various topics.
The ceremony of administering the
oath to Mr. Schussler was not solemn- j
ly impressive. Responding to a quick
f questions, he remarked that the
1 10 shares of stock were issued to pro
* .de money to improve Lake Merced
and other sources of water supply.
Some of the money was used to re
model the" city system of pipes and
Borne of it went into the new building
at the corner of Geary and Stockton
streets.
Supervisor Dodge remarked: "It is
now time for Mr. Schussler to advance
reasons, if he can, why the water rates
should be increased. I thought last
year that the rate to householders
would not give the reduction promised.
Six months' experience has taught me j
that the reduction is insignificant."
Supervisor Britt fancied that Mr.
Dodge was taking up the time of the
board in speechmaking when the mem
bers were particularly desirous of hear- j
Ing from Mr. Schussler.
The report cf the company showing
the receipts from all sources was read.
Mr. Schussler — The city is constantly
growing, and the quantity of water
supplied is ever increasing, so there
may be a great reduction in rates, and
still the receipts will show as large as
ever.
Supervisor Dodge contended that
there was still an unexplained discrep
ancy in the figures.
Attorney Kellogg asked the engineer
what was the estimated increase of
current expenses for this year.
Mr. Schussler replied that $70,000 foT
pumping was one item. "We are now
erecting two large pumping stations.
There was great waste of water last
year. These two pumping works, to
gether with the others mentioned, will
cost a large sum of money to operate." i
Responding to Mr. Kellogg, the en- j
gineer said the contemplated expend!- !
ture in construction account this year
would be fully $900,000. "The last year
•was the most wasteful we ever had."
a Reference was made by Supervisor
to Mr. Schussler's former esti
mates of the capacity of Crystal Springs
reservoir and his assurance that It
contained water to tide over two dry
seasons. In the light of the supply al
ready acquired the Supervisor wanted i
to know why so much money was need
ed for further development.
Mr. Schussler replied that he was
very proud of the reservoir, as it would
save the city from a calamity this year.
Supervisor Dodge wanted to know
why $900,000 was necessary before we
had a dry season.
Mr. Schussler Baid the company must
be ready for any emergency. He could
not tell yet whether more rain would
fall. "In 1887-88 we averted a calamity
by the use of the Alameda Creek sup
ply. Had we neglected to reinforce the
system then, we would not now have i
fourteen thousand million gallons in
Crystal Springs Reservoir."
The engineer explained that the ex- .
tra cost of pumping was caused by the
waste of people who inhabit the higher
levels.
Supervisor Dodge observed that the
engineer last year advocated a free use
of water or its use in large quantities.
He regretted that the city should be

called upon to expend nearly a million
dollars to increase the supply.
Mr. Schussler — The city expert? The
company expends it.
Mr. Dodge — The city pays for it.
Mr. Schussler— Only the interest.
Dr. Rottanzl — We should not pay in
terest on old and worn-out material,
when you put in new pipe.
Mr. Schussler — A fair allowance
should be made for new pipe, especially
when the fire department demands new
and large mains.
Mr. Ewald sought to ask a few ques
tions about the Sunnyside district, and
the chances' of getting water there, but
the board put a stop to the interroga
tories.
Mr. Dodge — Would we not save time
by getting the company to file a state
ment of what it desires?
Mr. Kellogg said that Mr. Ames
would give all the data demanded.
Supervisor Britt — Mr. Schussler,
should the board reduce your rate,
where would you curtail expenses?
Mr. Schussler — In pumping. In order
to keep the reservoirs full of water we
must keep on pumping. We h.ive 507
men employed. We expect to have
1060 men employed sixty days hence.
We pay $2 a day, but demand constant
work.
Mr. Britt — In the event of a reduc
tion, would you be obliged to discharge
these men or limit their labor?
Mr. Schussler — We would have to
largely curtail the quantity of water
used and keep down expenses.
Mr. Clinton — You would deem it a
duty, in the event of a reduction, to
keep up the supply as far as possible.
Mr. Schussler — I have fully stated to
our people that we are here to supply
water for domestic uses and fire pur
poses.
Mr. Clinton asked if, in the event of a
reduction, the company would still in
sist on paying its stockholders 6 per
cent, and the engineer replied that 6
per cent would be paid if possible. "If
we cut interest down to 5 per cent we
would not get more than $S0 for a
share of our stock." ,
Dr. Clinton and. Mr. Schussler ex
changed views as to the gilt-edged
character of Spring Valley securities.
The engineer paid a tribute to the busi
ness sagacity of the Spring Valley
board.
Supervisor Dodge recalled the calam
ities threatened last year when a re
duction of rates was suggested. The
dire calamities and the discharge of
workmen did not follow.
Pelham W. Ames, the secretary of
the corporation, was next sworn. He
was asked to explain items concerning
the receipts of money by the company.
11" pointed out that the amount re
ceived from shipping which was not
scheduled in former reports was placed
in this year's report, because the meth
od of supplying the ships had been
changed. The privilege was formerly
| sold to Goodall, Perkins & Co. for $1600
a month. Now the water company
! deals directly with the ships. The
| revenue received last year from this
source was $41,000.
Mr. Ames was ready to go right along
with the explanations, but the Super
visors preferred to adjourn the hearing
until S o'clock in the evening, so an
] adjournmeit was taken until that
time.
The Supervisors convened shortly
'. after 8 o'clock with Dr. Clinton in the
chair. The first witness called was F.
! B. Howard, accountant of the Spring
I Valley Water Works. After some
! questions this statement was Rroduced
'. as an estimate of the amount of money
■ that the company would require for
j the year 1888:
Maintenance J 460,000
Interest 4S.OM
Coupons 498,500
Taxes , 105.000
Dividends 536.500
Total $1, 942.000
An inquiry was directed to ascertain
why the company did not place all its
obligations in bonds paying 4 per cent
interest.
Attorney Kellogg said that the ques
tion of consolidating the bonds would
come up when the first bonds matured.
In response to a question, Mr. How
ard gave the income from rent of the
new building at $2200 a month.
George E. Booker, chief clerk of the
Spring Valley Water Works, gratified
Supervisor Dodge by replying to sev
eral interrogatories respecting the in
come of the corporation under the first
section of the existing ordinance relat
ing to water rates. He promised to pro
duce figures desired.
Supervisor Dodge, in giving expres
sion to his delight over the ready and
responsive answers of the chief clerk,
said:
"We fought for weeks last year to
get this information-. We could not tell
whether the reduction to householders
was $141,000, the highest calculation, or
$34,000, the lowest. Now that Mr. Book
er says he can give us the information
as to the amounts received under each
classification, we can proceed intelli
gently." I
There was considerable time lost in 1
framing the request for Information,
but finally it was put in this form:
'That Mr. Booker at the next meeting
of the board give the number of houses
in each classification of section 1 in
1896 and 1897."
Under the classification the company
collects $40,000 a month or $480,000 a
year. In the class householders are
represented.
Mr. Booker could not give the num
ber of bath tubs, but was obliged to
admit that he must have made some
calculation when he figured last year
that a certain reduction would follow.
The witness said: "I must have
guessed at it."
Dr. Clinton — Isn't that a loose way of
conducting a public trust?
Mr. Booker said the company could
not tell how much was coliected in
each section.
The information was elicited from
Mr. Booker that there were 44,600
dwelling houses and 18,720 places of
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 189 S.
business that paid money for water.
There are 6000 meters. The amount of
money received on fixed charges was
$87,515 a month. He said: "We have
8000 more consumers than we had in
1890, yet our income has but slightly
increased."
Mr. Dodge— How much of a reduc
tion did the order we adopted last
year make?
Mr. Booker figured the reduction at
$6000 a month.
Chief Engineer Schussler was called
again to state more in detail what im
provements were in prospect and why
the expenditure of so much money was
now demanded. He remarked that the
supply in the upper lakes — Pilarcltos
and San Andreas — was running low.
These reservoirs must be replenished
by water pumped from Crystal Springs
or the Western Addition would have
no water.
Mr. Schussler spoke of the constantly
increasing supply which the growth of
the Western Addition demanded. It
was remarked also that the people of
that section of the city wasted a great
deal of water.
Among the items of new expenses
were 5280,000 for a pipe line from San
Andreas and $200,000 for city pipe ex
tension. A contract had been let for
new pumping works at Milbrae.
Attorney Kellogg asked Mr. Booker
how much the existing schedule was
short of the requirements for the year
IS9S, and the latter replied that the
amount the company would receive, in
cluding the rent of the new building,
would be $90,000 less than the estimated
requirement of $1,942,0000. The attor
ney then said to the Supervisors: "We
now ask that the rates be increased so
that our revenue shall be $90,000 more
than the existing schedale provides."
Replying to Supervisor Delany, Mr.
Booker said the schedule of 1895 would
yield the sum required.
As the board was about to adjourn
Dr. Clinton asked if the Mayor desired
to ask any questions.
Mayor Phelan simply remarked that
the case was. proved last year.
The board then adjourned until 10
a. m. Monday.
VIEWS OF THE BOARD.
Some Members Are Decided,
Some Are Waiting.
Mayor Phelan— There are two ques
tions which should be carefully con
sidered.
Is not 5 per cent a fair rate of inter
est on stock? Are operating expenses
and cost of permanent improvements
wisely and economically made for the
purpose of supplying the city with
water? These answered, a rate should
be fixed that would yield not more than
5 per cent, on the stock actually issued
for legitimate and necessary purposes.
Five per cent is a rate of interest
considered to-day full and fair for this
class of securities, and no one can
seriously dispute it.
Supervisor Morton — Under no circum
stance will I vote for an increase of
the rate. The question of a scarcity of
rain or a limited supply of water in
the company's reservoirs cuts no figure
•in this case. That is a matter effecting
the company itself, and not one that
the people of this city should be made
to make good for the benefit of either
the company or its stockholders. Under
existing circumstances, and until I
have something more to guide me, I
.am disposed to let last year's rate
stand. I consider the stockholders en
titled to at least 5 per cent interest on
the stock.
Supervisor Dodge — I intend to live up
to the pledge taken when I accepted
the nomination for the office which I
now have the honor of occupying. I
stand now as I did one year ago when
this same question was before us. I
will, however, hear what the company
has to say on the matter before I de
cide on my vote in the committee and
in the board.
Supervisor Rivers — I will be entirely
guided by the testimony and the facts
adduced before the board during this
investigation, and will vote accord
ingly. Corporations have rights as
well as the people, and it is our duty
to deal fairly between the two in fix
ing the rates.
Supervisor Sheehan— l intend to live
up to the pledge taken, and I will be
governed a good deal by the represen
tations offered before us during this in
quiry. I consider last year's rates fair
in the then existingconditions. Whether
there is any change since that time
that would cause me to think other
wise now remains to be developed dur
ing this investigation.
Supervisor Delany — I will deal fairly
with all parties concerned and will be
in a better condition to Judge of the
matter when the inquiry is concluded
and when the company has had an op
portunity to be heard.
Supervisor Haskins — I decline to ex
press an opinion on this question now.
In other words, 1 prefer not to be in
terviewed.
Supervisor Lackmann— Last year's
rates fixed a 5 per cent rate. I am in
favor of a reduction. The rates are too
high, more particularly on the small
householders, consequently I will favor
a greater reduction, and so vote.
Supervisor Devany— l will he entirely
guided by the testimony and the con
ditions as they are presented before us.
It would be too soon to ask me how I
should act on this matter until I hear
the question fully.
Supervisor Britt— l will be governed
by the circumstances and condition of
affairs as they are presented before
me. I am inclined to favor last year's
rates as being fair and equitable to
the people and to the water company.
Supervisor Rottanzi— l will favor the
same rates as I did last year. These
I considered then, and do still, as being
the only ones that this board should
have adopted. Had it done so greater
satisfaction would have resulted all
round. I see no reason to change my
mind on this subject.
Supervisor Smith— Being absent his
views could not be obtained.
Supervisor Clinton— l have no reason
to change my mind from the position
I took last year on this question. To
me the people come first and the cor
porations next. I agree with those that
favor giving- the stockholders a fair
percentage on the capital invested. I
think it would be unjust to crowd them,
so to speak, to the wall, simply be
cause they are stockholders. If the
water company makes such a shoeing
as will justify me in voting for a reduc
tion from the present rates, why I will
only too cheerfully vote in that way.
But, I will certainly not vote to in
crease the rates; they are, to my mind,
too high as it is. In the meantime the
company will be given an opportunity
to represent its side of the question be
fore the rates ar# fixed.
FOR A NEW HOSPITAL.
The Mission Will Rally 'i'o-Night
to Support the Project.
The committee appointed at the pre
liminary meeting last week of the resi
dents of the Mission for a mass meeting
this evening of representative taxpayers
have received the most flattering en
couragement that the gathering will be a
decided success.
The committee on arrangements has so
far announced the names of the following
speakers: Supervisors C. A. Clinton, Rot
tanzi and Dodge; Messrs. George L. Cen
ter, Joseph Leggett, Jantes H. Barry,
James Denman, Judge F. W. Van Rey
negom, Captain George Raabe, E! P. E.
Troy and A. P. Van Duzer. The place
of meeting. Mangel's Hall, on Folsom and
Twenty-fourth streets, has been kindly
offered by its owner free of cost. At this
meeting the "whirlwind gulch" deal will
be laid bare and it will be made manifest
that there is no necessity for saddling
the people with a burden of $400,000 for
the purchase of a piece of land for a col
lection of wild animals that would re
quire an untold sum of money to main
tain the year round.
FRENCH SOCIETIES AT WAR.
Editor Marque Attacks the Two Bergerots and
Dr. Bazet in Several Caustic Letters
in Flmparcial.
There is a great deal of excitement in the ranks of two of the principal
French social and benevolent societies of this city owing to the fact that
there is a great contest for control of the French Hospital and French
matters in general. These societies are La Ligue d'Henri IV and the
Alliance.
K. Marque, an aged editor, has long been amusing himself by writing
some such letters against three prominent Frenchmen as were common in
this country in the days of the American revolution. His epistles ap
pear each week in a paper called L'lmparcial, and the general tenor of
the accusations is that three men, whose names each begin with the let
ter B, are trying to rule or ruin matters that pertain to the welfare of
the French in this city.
His attacks are directed toward Attorney P. Alexandre Bergerot, his
father and Dr. Louis Bazet, of the French Hospital.
The accusation Is that a local society called La Ligue d'Henri IV is
conducted in the interest of the three men whose names begin with B, and
that the purpose of the whole organization is to make Bergerot Jr., who
is a lawyer, a sort of local political boss. There are allegations that Dr.
Bazet is an old fogy, opposed to American physicians, and that he Is an
ally of Bergerot Jr.
Although the old and well-known French league of this city has
never taken part in politics heretofore, it is being drawn into this fight
for self-protection. Its membership consists largely of prominent business
men, who are not willing to see all power slip from their hands into that
of the ambitious Bergerot and his society, which is only three years old
and whose membership consists almost entirely of the proletariat.
FRIDAY NIGHT AND
THIRTEEN ACTORS
Harry Corsen Clarke Defies
Superstition and Scores
Success.
"What Happened to Jones" a Farce
of Much Merit— The New Com
pany Admirable.
Last night Harry Corson Clarke
twinkled as a star at the head of a little
company that is all his own, reopened
the Columbia Theater with George H.
Broadhurst's farce, "What Happened to
Jones," and went the original Frawley
company one better in daredevil defiance
of the superstitions. Mr. Clarke not only
had precisely thirteen persons in his com
pany including his stellar self, but he
opened on a Frrday. I am glad to say
that Mr. Clarke's recklessness brought
him no apparent misfortune. The worst
that happened was an embarrassingly
long "stage waif in the opening of the
fir"! act, which left Mr. J. B. Polk alone
on the stage and at his wits end for
what seemed to be several moments. A
deathly whisper from the wings broke
the BUence: "For God's sake say
something!" And Mr Polk, with a ter
rible patness, repeated several times one
of his earlier lines: "I cannot work I
cannot work." However, the big audi
ence was enthusiastically friendly and
justly made this one of the hits of the
""Everything was a hit with that audi
ence; everybody then- seemed to be a
personal friend of the new star; after the
first and dullest act of the farce he was
made to blush by curtain call after cur
tain call and wild demands for a speech,
and at least twenty bunches of sweet vio
lets that were pelted lovingly over the
lights. But Mr. Clarke behaved with dig
nity and tact, and I am glad to chronicle
that he did not make a speech. No mat
ter what happens to "Jones ' and the new
star on account of that thirteen-Frtday
combination it can never be laid up
against Mr. Clarke tßat he started out to
soar-starrtly with a speech at the end of
the first act.
I am not a devout believer in the evil
of Fridayy and thirteens myself, and far
and beyond the friendly audience that
boomed everything last night I think the
symptoms of real success were discerni
ble in the piece, the star and the com
pany. Mr. Clarke is not always a fortu
nate comic, actor. Ho has mannerisms that
are not entirely lovable and that are built
to last a lifetime, and during his associa
tion with the Frawley company he was en
couraged in playing fussy old gentle
men who poked people in the ribs and
pranced around on rather song-ancl-dan
cey legs, all the time displaying a broad
smile with superb dental appointments
until I grew to regard him as a positive
bore. But as the irrepressible Jones in
Mr. Broadhurst's farce Mr. Clarke is
seen in proper person; and as the part
calls for none of the subtleties of farce
acting, but rather for a bustling Ameri
can temperament— which Mr. Clarke has
in profusion— and a certain oft-hand di
rectness of delivery, he is able to play
it In very fair proportion of its full value.
The piece deals In the good old farcical
device of the wrong man in the wrong
clothes with several clever complications,
good construction and common sense
lines that do not detract from the situa
tions by extraneous gagging. Old Ebe
nezer Goodly, a professor of anatomy, ia
induced, in the Interests of his science,
to attend a prize-fight. You see him start
off, accompanied by the young chap who
is to marry one of his daughters; and you
see him come home, torn and soiled, for
the fight was raided and he escaped by
climbing down a water pipe. Then enters
the hustling Jones, who has also been to
the fight, has battered a policeman, and
now demands shelter in the Goodly
household. He has left a coattail in the
clutch of the law by which he fears iden
tification.
So he disguises himself in the costume
of the Bishop of Ballarat, who is ex
pected any day to arrive at the Goodlys,
kisses all the bishop's nieces, nearly
breaks the heart of the old maid, to
whom the Bishop is secr«tly engaged, and
fall 3in love with old Ebenezer's ward.
The thick of the complication comes, of
course, when the real Bishop arrives on
the scene, and In turn this situation is
countercomplicated by the introduction
of an escaped lunatic who is mistaken for
the Bishop.
To be sure the plausibility of all this
hangs on the mere fact that Ebenezer
does not tell his family about the identity
of Jones because he fears to answer for
his own share in the prize-fight— but you
do not look for too much plausibility in
farce.
The ortly glaring fault In the piece is
that the first act is not lively enough. It
was very dull last night, but this was
partly due to the nervousness of the
company. Tn a leisurely way the otheu
acts are funny all the time, and the
thread of the story is seldom lost sight
of even for a minute. The whole farce,
while extravagant to a degree, is con
structed with a certain legitimacy that is
not common in the lighter American
pieces.
Mr. Clark Has chosen his company with
admirable care and judgment. With the
possible exception of one or two of the
subsidiary feminine parts the entire cast
seems to be fitted by players of special
ized ability. Miss Affle Warner is de
lightfully ingenuous and real a« the
Goodlys' ward; J. B. Polk, a little easier
than he was last night, is just the man
for Ebenezer; Charles Charters plays the
young man of the piece with a jolly
swing; and John Allison does farce-acting
of the very first quality In the part of the
genuine Bishop. Every farce nowadays
seems to have its character servant
There is a wonderful Swedish girl in
"What Happened to Jones," and I will
wager that Maude Allison makes a rec
ord in the part. She was an emohatic
hit last night. ASHTON STEVENS

THE AMERICAN
WATERLOO
The Bloody Battle of Gettysburg
Fought Over Again at
the Fair.
Lincoln Day to Be Observed With
Special and Appropriate
Ceremonies.
To many at the Mining Fair last night
the chief feature was undoubtedly the
musical programme, and it was accept
ably rendered by Bennett's band under
the direction of W. B. Rogers. It con
tained seven numbers, and the first after
the intermission was the grand fantasie
of the Battle of Gettysburg.
This particular elaboration of a familiar
theme is by Cappa, the late director of
the New York Seventh Regiment Band.
As a development where those accesso
ries of war tones have been properly util
ized it is certainly a master composition.
Thoroughly extensive in its range, yet
not too wide In Its scope, it embraces
twenty-three phases, beginning with the
army bivouac and culminating in the na
tional anthem, "The Star Spangled Ban
ner." The chorus and musketry firing
were very effective.
As for Rogers' conception and discretion
of the fantasie, the piece illustrates how
near realism band effects may be brought
where the director is capable and actu
ated by a love for his art.
The Martels were again another feature
with their bicycle riding, and they gave
a smooth and enjoyable performance.
The management made each lady who
visited the fair happy by presenting her
with a cup and saucer. Over 2000 of* these
dainty souvenirs were given away yes
terday.
To-day being Lincoln day an elaborate
programme has been prepared to com
memoi^ite the birthday of the President.
In addition to the 500 school children from
the Horace Mann, Mission Grammar,
Hamilton and Burnett schools, the mem
bers of the California branch of the Lin

in the exercises. In the evening the G.

street, Ottumwa lowa, daughter of Mr.
E." M. Noble, the sairt manufacturer, has
accomplished a work which will not only
benefit her, but undoubtedly be of ser
vice to many others. It was a praise
worthy undertaking; one which she may
feel proud of fend amply repaid for her in
defatigable efforts. ■ ■
A reporter of, the Press, hearine of her
successful achievement, sought an inter
view with her. ' .. ■■•■••■ ',
Miss Noble seemed cheerful, hopeful
and in the best of health. . Apparently
she had not suffered any ill effects from
her efforts which were reported to have
done much good. '
About two years ago she accompanied
her parents to the West, and resided
among the mountains for several months.
This was done in the hopes that her health
might be improved, as she was suffering
from anaemia. Instead of the change of
climate benefiting her, she rapidly be
came worse and ncr parents hastily re
turned East with her.
Reputable physicians were, summoned
and exercised their skill, but it was of
no avail. Her condition became worse
and her face assumed a ghost-like ap
pearance. She was wasting away for
want of blood, and what little she did
have was watery and in a depraved
state. Any slight exertion caused ex
cessive " fatigue, and palpitation of the
heart. She had no appetite and the dain
tiest viands did not tempt her. Her condi
tion was deplorable ■ and death seemed
nigh. Many of her friends thought she
was going into consumption.
Finally some friends . advised her to
try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People, prepared by the Dr. Williams'
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.Y., as
t^ey contained in a : condensed form all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. •• •-.■■■
They had learned . of cases similar to
hers which had been cured. The pills,
they said, were inexpensive, 1 only costing
50 cents a box or six. boxes for $2 50, and
could be had at any druggist's.
" ' Miss : Noble was reluctant to try them,
for it seemed ; as If all possible remedies
had been tried .and V.*e expense had been
considerable," without being, benefited. Her
friends were so enthusiastic regarding the
good qualities •of ; the pills, ■ that she fin
ally decided to try a box. and purchased
one from E. M. B. Scott's drug store,
v A decided improvement was noticeable
after the pills had been taken and she
purchased some ■more. * / The change in
her condition ; was so great -.that : after
taking four boxes of the remedy, she con
sidered herself, well, and stopped taxing
the medicine. ! But her severe sickness
could not «be ■ cured > so soon and .- she ; was
obliged to "commence taking the pills
again. > After using a few more [boxes
all traces of her fearful disease had: dis
appeared." To-day ; she is the picture of
health, her complexion being that :of an
Ideally healthy young lady, and she is as
active as in her younger days.
Her father was so much impressed with
the marvelous improvement wrought in
the health of his daughter through the
merits of Dr. - ; Williams',:- Pink < Pills that
he too, is using them and is ranidly re
gaining his failing health. •
Several have hoard of Miss Noble's. case
and experience with these wonderful. pills
and; are using them with : satisfactory re-
Mr. E. :M. B. Scott, 'who Is one of > Ot
tumwa's prominent druggists, can testify
to ' the wonderful improvement Jin the
health- of i Miss; Noble. He Is having a
large sale of these health restorers.
