Edward Donnelly Saves a Life Almost at

His Story as told to a Reporter
of the Auburn Kulletin.
(Auburn, N, Y Bulletin )
It is on record that upon chilly Apil
day, a few years ago, an eight year
old boy fell into the East river at the
foot of East Eighth Street, New York,
and when all efforts to rescue him had
failed, Edward Donnelly, at risk of
his own life, nluntred into the water
and, when himself nearly exhausted,
saved the boy from drowning. It was
a humane and sell sacrificing deed
and received deserved commendation
in all the many newspapers that made
mention f it. Edward Donnelly
was then a resident of New York City,
but h'S wife was Amanda Grantman
of Auburn, and his sister was Mrs
Samuel D. Corry of No. 71 Moravia
St., which gave a local interest to the
incident. All this was some time ago,
and both it and Mr. Donnelly have
passed out of the mind of your cor
respondent until, a few days ago,
while in Saratoga, he was shown a
letter to a friend from which he was
Dermitted to make the following' ex-

Auburn, N. Y., Oct. 26th, '92
I am taking Dr. William's Pink
Pills. They have cured me of that
terrible disease, Locomotor Ataxia.
When" I commenced taking them, I
I was wholly unable to work and near
ly helpless. I am now improved
so much, that 1 nave Deen picKing

on a wheelbarrow.
Yours truly,
Edward Donnelly,
71 Moravia St , Auburn, N. Y.
Immediately on reaching Auburn,
you correspondent called at the above
address and found Mr. Donnelly out
in a barn where he was grinding ap
ples and making cider with a hand
press and he seemed well and cheer
ful and happy.
And then later, in the presence of
his wife and Mrs. Corry and Mrs.
Taylor, who all confirmed his state
ment, he told your, correspondent the
story of his sickness and of his restor
ation to health by the use of Dr. Wil
liam's Pink Pills for Pale People.
"I was born in Albany, N. Y., and
am 42. years old. The greatest por
tion of my life,' I have lived" in New
York City. I was general foreman
j there of the F. A. Mulgrew Saw
Mills, foot of Eighth Street on the
, East river. If was on the 29th of
j April, 1889, that the boy fell into the
t river and I rescued him from drown
ing, but in saving his life, I contracted
a disease, which, nearly cost me my
own. Why, Sir, I am sure I should
have died: long ago, if Pink Pills had
not saved my life.
"You see when I saved the boy, I
was in the water so lone that I was
taken with a deathly chill and soon
became so stiffened up and weak that
I could neither work nor walk. For
some time I was under treatment of
Dr. George McDonald. He finally
said he could do nothing more for
me and that I had better go into the
country. On the 1st of last June,
(1892) my wife and I came up to Au
burn. I was then in ereat pain, al-
me upon me and 1 lelt that 1 nad
come to the home of my wife and of
her sister to die. y
1 "When the disease first came upon
, me the numbness beean in my heels'
I and pretty soon the whole of both my
must say I longed for the hour when
it should relieve me of my pain and
misery. I was still taking medicine
("It was Iodide of Potassiurti," said
his wife) and was being rubbed and
having plasters put all over my body,
WILSON, WILSON
but with no benefit.
"The latter part of last Tune I
learned of a case cured by the use of
Dr. .William's Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple. I had never' heard of those
blessed Pills before, but I thought if
they could cure one man of the same
disease with which I was afflicted,
perhaps they would also cure me. So
I sent to the Chas. H. Sagar Com
pany the popular Auburn druggist
and chemist at 109 and in Genesee
St., and got three j5oxes of Pink Pills
and began taking them at once. In
three weeks time 1 was so improved
that from being helpless, I " was able
to help myself and to get up and go
to work and to walk every day Irom
No. 74 Walnut St., where I then
lived, to Osborne's f'ew Twine Fac
tory, Seymour and Cottage Streets
(More than a mile) where I was
then employed, but all the while I
was taking Pink Pills.
"Then Dr. Patchen of Wisconsin,
1
uncle of mv wife, and who was here
on a visit, began to poo poo at me
for taking Pink Pills and finally per
suaded rne to stop taking them and
to let him treat me. When he re
turned to the West he left me a pre
scription with Dr. Hyatt of Auburn,
who also treated me. But their treat
ment did me no good, and after a
while the old trouble returned and I
was getting bad again. Then I be-
t 1 r mi 1 "
gan again to take f inic nils ; nave
taken them ever since, am taking
them now ; have taken in all about 20
boxes at an entire cost of less than
$10 00 (My other treatment cost me
a pile of money) and again I am well
and able to work. ;.'-'
Iii New York Mr. McDonald siid
m T .
my disease was Locomotor taxia.
He treated me by striking me on tne
kne.es without giving tne pain ; by
having me try to walk with my eyes
closed : by trying to stand first on
one foot and then on the other, bat I
couldn't do it, and so after a while he
said I had Locomotor Ataxia auclwas
incurable, and thatI had better go
into the country among my- friends
who would make the few remaining
day's. of my life as comfortable as
possible and give me kind attend
ance. Well I came, or rather was
brought from New York into the
country ; but instead of dyings I am
a well man, nearly as well as ever be
fore in my life. Pink Pills did it. Vlf
I was able I would at my own e.r
pense, publish the virtues of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills to the whole
world and especially in New York
City,. jvJiereI am much better known
than I am here. ,"'','
"Another thing," said Mr. Don
nelly, "I am sure that the Pink Pills
for Pale People (and they are well
named) are the best remedy for im
pure blood and the best blood maker
in the world, why, when I w"as sick
and before I took them, if I cut my
self the very little blood that came
from the wound was thin and pale and
watery. A few days agoT accident
ally cut my hand slightly and I bled
like a pig and the blood was a bright
red. Just look at the blood in the
veins of my hands." ho indeed they
were, and his cheeks also wore the
ruby flush of health with which only
good blood and plenty of it can paint
the human face.
Your correspondent again called
upon Chas. H. Sagar Co., at their
request. They were much interested
in the case and cure by use of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills and told of
several other instances, which had
come to their knowledge where the
use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had
proved efficacious, in making most
wonderful cures. These pills con
tain in a condensed form all the
elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood, and restore
shattered nerves. They are an un
failing specific for such diseases as
locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis,
St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia,
rheumatism, nervous headache, the
after effects of la grippe, palpitation
of the heart, pale and sallow com
plexions, and that tired feeling result-
r- it
ing irom nervous prostration ; au
diseases depending upon vitiated
humors in the blood, such as scrof
ula'f chronic erysipelas, etc. They are
also a specific for troubles peculiar to
females, such as suppressions, irre
gularities, and all forms of weakness.
They build up the blood and restore
the glow of health to pale and sallow
cheeks. In the case of men they
effect a radical cure in all cases arising
irom mental worry, overwork or
excesses of whatever nature.
These Pills are manufactured by
the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company
Schenectady, N. Y.; and Brockvnle,
Ont., and are sold only in boxes
bearing the firm's trade mark and
wrapper, at 50 cents a box, or six
boxes for $2.50. Bear in mind that
Dr. Williams rink rills are never
soA in bulk, or by the dozen or
hundred, and any dealer who offers
substitutes in this form is trying to
defraud you and should be avoided.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills may be had
of all druggists or direct by mail
from Dr. Williams' Medicine Com
pany from either address. The price
at which these pills are sold makes a
course 01 treatment comparatively
inexpensive as compared with other
remedies medical treatment.

A Parent's Forcible -Pica to a Smulay School
Superintendent.
"Can you tell me," asked a New York
lawyer who lives in Brooklyn, "who
writes the stories that are printed in the
little papers that my boy brings home
from Sunday school?" - ;
"Well, no," answered the superintend
ent, "but I think they are beautifully
written, don't you? Each one, seems to me.
contains a valuable spiritual thought."
'Spiritual rubbish !" exclaimed the law
yer. The superintendent had never been so
astonished in all his life.
"What's that, what's that?" he s-uand-ed
when he had fully persuaded nimselt
that he had not been dreaming, and thai
areal live man had actually characterized
as "rubbish" that literature which he had
accustomed himself; to esteem so highly.
"I mean it," said the lawyer, whose
blood was up. "Now, last Sunday my 1
little boy came home with this paper and
got his mother to read him this story
headed 'Frank's Victory A True Story.'
To start with, it's not a true story; no
P - 1 A 1.1 1 J
man 01 juugmeiii wouici acceijt 11 as
true. That's my first objection to it. In
the second place, it's an absurd story,
with an outrageous moral. J .don't want
falsehoods palmed off on my child for
true stories, and I don't want him mis
led by gixidy goody, namby pamby drivel.
"The story is that Frankie, although
able to thrash Joe, wouldn't do it. He
hadn't done anything to justify Joe's re-
sentment; nevertheless he just stood still
and let Joe batter his face until it was
all bruised and bleeding. T never,' says
the story teller, 'will forget the sight.'
" 'Why on earth didn't you fight him?
one of the boys asks, of Frankie, and
Frankie answers, -I am trying to be a
Christian, and I don't think it is right to
fight,' and this sentiment the story teller
applauds."
"And don't you applaud itV" asked the
superintendent.
"Certainly 1 do," answered the law
yer, "but I don't see what it has to do
with the case. I think that such behav
ior as Frankie is credited with would be
miserable in real life.
"Suppose a case. Suppose that my
older boy come3 home with his face all
cut up and bleeding.
" 'What's the matter?' I ask.
" 'A boy did it,' he answers.
" 'How big a boyV
""Not quite so big as myself.'
" 'What did you let him do it for?"
" 'I'm trying to be a Christian, papa,'
answers' my son in the words of the
good boy in the story, 'and I don't think
it's right to fight.'
"Now, what do you suppose I'd say
to that? Think I'd kiss my son and tell
him how proud I was of him? No, sir.
I'd give him some good advice.
" 'You could have whipped that boy,
couldn't you?" I'd ask him.
X'He'd say 'Yes,' of course.
'Couldn't you have l&rown him to
tk .tround and held him there?"
"He'd say 'Yes" to that too.
" 'But you didn't do anything. You
just stood still and let him punch you
until he was tired. And you did it Ikj
canse j-ou thought you wouldn't be a
Christian ifx you defended yourself.
Now, my dear boy. let me tell you
something: .
" 'It's not incumbent upon any Chris- !
tian to allow another iterson to pound
him. Don't fight, but always defend
j-ourself. When another loy tries this
thing on you, put him on his back and
sit down on him and go to whittling or
whistling, and keep at ituntil he says
hat he will behave himself.l"
"But," protested the superintendent,
"it's pretty dangerous business giving a
boy license like that. . Give him an inch,
and he'll take an ell."
"There's where you are off again," an
swered the lawyer. "I don't believe in
mysteries with children. I tell my boy
that it is brutal to fight; at the same
time I tell him that it's manly to defend
himself. If he hasn't judgment enough
to discriminate between the two things,
he's stupid a good deal stupider than
the average boy.
"No, sir, 'what I want my boy taught
is truth. I don't want his Sunday school
superintendent or anybody else to as
sume that he is weakminded, and that
the proper thing is to stuff him full of
false and misleading notions. Give him
the truth. '
. "I think the fault with some of you
Sunday school people is that you under
estimate the intelligence of your pupils."

Mrs. Howe's Brilliant Daughter.
The latest literary and social sensation
of Boston is the debut of the gifted
daughter of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe upon
the lecture platform. Mrs. Maud Howe
Elliott has great beauty as well as talent
in art and literature. It is said that she
has had more offers of marriage than any
woman in Boston. Victor Hugo begged
permission to kiss her hand, she was so
beautiful, and artists asked to paint her
portrait.. Educated under the direction
of her mother, enjoying the best oppor
tunities for development in travel and
in environment, Mrs. Elliott early mani
fested literary ability.
A summer in Newport gave her ma
terial for her first novel. A visit to Cal
ifornia inspired "San Rosario," and" a
railroad strike in Maine during her sum
mer there formed the nucleus for an
other. And last year's stay in England
gave her material for her lecture on
"Darkest England." which was well re
ceived by the critical Boston audience.

CITY AND COUNTRY BOYS.
Why It Is That the Country Boy Is Apt to
Learn More Evil Than a City Boy.
A distinguished man, whose boyhood
was passed partly in the country and,
partly in the city, recently testified that
he found his boy companions in the coun
try much worse than those in the city.
"It is our habit to think of the coun
try," he said, "as the abode of innocence
and purity, and of the city as the haunt
of vice, but at this remove pt time I can
not recall hearing a single bad word from
my schoolmates in the large institution
which I attended in Boston. I feel sure
that some must have been uttered, for
there were several hundred boys in the
building, but I cannot remember hear
ing any. .
'fMy experience with the boys in the
country is, however, in my memory very
different. There were two or three
dreadful boys there who corrupted the
whole school. They were foul mouthed
and full of iniquity."
A family of boys who spend their sum
mers in the country and their winters in
the city have frequently remarked the
sjime thing. They find good boys in both
places, but more badness in proportion
in the country, and, as they themselves
express it. "their badness is worse."
"Somehow," remarked one of them
naively, "the city boys are more polite
about it, and maybe it's only that that
makes them seem not quite, so bad."
Nearly all who possess an intimate ac
quaintance with both city and country
will testify to the general truth of these
conclusions. ,
The reasons are not far to seek. In the
city schools the youth-are more carefully
graded than in the country, not only in
the direction of mind,, but of morals. A
normal and well brought up boy has a
much wider choice as to his playmates
in the one than in the other, and such a
boy will usually select his friends among
the better boys. In the country he is
thrown necessarily with children with
whom his parents would much rather he
should not associate. The democracy of
the village is absolute, however, and any
attempt to establish an aristocracy, even
of virtue, is deeply resented by the par
ents of the objectionable youth. Such
parents usually consider their children
as good as the rest.
In the city h has comparatively little
opportunity to put in corrupting work
among good boys. The bad boys herd
by themselves and often become formid
able gangs, the terror of peaceful citi

There seems a suggestion here for those
who live in the country or who pass
more or less time there each year, who
love it and cannot bear to think of the
plague spots upon it, to put in some mis
sionary work among the country bad
boys. A month's effort, unobtrusively
and spontaneously given, among 'doubt
ful boys in a country place may raise
the tone of a whole neighborhood for
years afterward. To show such boys
that you resect the good in them, to
praise them for whatever they excel in,
to show an interest in theif 'worthy pur
suits, to take thein. in &hort. at their
best this work might be more farreach-

does not know it. Miss Otis wears an
anklet that is worth a fortune. It is
solid gold, about li inches wide and it is
set with diamonds tha t must be worth at
least $100,000. She tells trie that some
times it feels as though it weighed a ton,
but she means to wear it all her life. It
was given to her by some Asiatic prince
or other, and she takes great' pride in it
"Miss Otis a few years ago had ah in
dependent fortune of $250,000, and she
spent it like a thoroughbred. She sank
75,000 at one jump in "trying to demon-

The rest of it she spent in seeing the
world with her mother, who is an in

lived like royalty. It was while she was
on a tour around the world that she met
this prince in India, who fell in love with
her and crave her the anklet. She came

AN EXAMPLE OF MEDICAL ETIQUETTE.
An Illustration of How Far Some Doctors
Go to Preserve Dignity.
Within the present week in this city
occurred an incident that is typical of
the extreme to which, professional eti
quette may be carried. A patient lay ill
of a raging fever, whose progress appar
ently had not been prevented or miti
gated by the remedies prescribed by tho
doctor "in charge" of the case.. That
doctor was not entirely satisfactory to
the patient and was even distasteful
to the latter, but had been called "in
merely because he happened to bo near
f at hand. The sick man protested strong
ly against the continuance, of the seem
ingly useless treatment and insisted that
the family physician should b called. In
a spirit of courtesy the attending phy
sician was told of the facts and of the
wish of the patient. The family doctor
was summoned and was met by tho at
tending physician. . . .
The two doctors had a private consul
tation, and as a result the attending phy
sician announced that he would "remain
in charge," despite tho objections of tho
patient and family, despite the knowl
edge that his every visit so irritated and
exasperated the patient as to increase the
fever of the helpless but thoroughly in
dignant victim. The family then made
an almost piteous appeal to tho f ainily
physician to visit the patient, whose con
dition was such as to occasion grave
alarm and the most depressing fears, but
the reply was made that no reputable phy
sician in Massachusetts would so imperil
his standing under the rules which gov
ern physicians as to attend a patient so
long as the "attending
physician re-
fused his consent.
The facts in tho case are indisputable
and are given from personal knowledge.
The consideration that under; the" cir
cumstances the very life of the patient
might be endangered made no impres
sion on the two doctors, who looked only
to the "etiquette" of their profession. If
the medical practitioners stated the rule
correctly, one. doctor ini this common
wealth may have the conceded right to
prohibit the attendance of another doc
tor on a patient, no matter what the
wishes or state of the sick man may be,
and as a result of an exaggerated defer
ence to this "etiquette" it is possible
to suppose that a patient constantly irri
tated and excited under a condition that
demands rest and quiet may die, but the
senseless "etiquette" will have been ob
served. ,
It may be true that the case cited is an
unusual one, and it can readily be con
ceded that there are many humane doc
tors who would not allow an empty form
of etiquette to stand in their way under
such circumstances. Yet it still re
mains to bo said that, if any custom or
rule exists to justify such a proceeding
as was so rigidly observed in the instance
noted, that rule or custom ought to be
abolished. Many, eminent members of
the medical profession havo been argu
ing in favor of a law to prohibit "quacks"
from practicing in this state. Argu
ments of a cogent nature have been
brought forward to support the proposi
tion. Yet it remains to bo said in that
connection that if the commonwealth
were to allow "regular" practitioners to
pursue business, and if any rule existed
to deprive a family of tho right to cm
ploy whatever practitioner it pleased,
whenever it pleased, the change would
not be entirely for the better.
Indeed, if any such rule or practice
now exists among physicians of the ex
isting schools, it is to be feared that the
members of that profession have already
more power than they should have. Such
an arrangement merely represents a huge
"trust" or "pool" and is in the nature of
an imposition on the public. In the case
cited both doctors seem equally to blame,
one for imj)eriling the health of a pa
tient to serve personal ends and tho
other for allowing a mere rule, custom
or understanding to stand in the way of
duty to the sick. Boston Advertiser.
One Class of Employees.
A man whose appearance betrayed his
wealth walked into the office of the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad at Broadway
and Maiden lane a few days a'j and
said to the ticket seller:
'I am going to Washington tomorrow"
morning at half past 1 1 o'clock. I want
to reserve a seat in the Pullman car on
that train."
"Have you got your railroad ticket?"
demanded the man in cliargc suspi
ciously. "No. 1 intend to get that in the
morning. There is no hurry."
"There isn't, ah':" observed the ticket
seller sarcastically. "Well, there just
is. Unless you make an affidavit that
you will buy your railroad ticket at this
office tomorrow morning you don't 'get
any Pullman seat out of us. I'm on to
those games."
"Will you kindly explain what games
3-ou mean?" inquired the man of wealth
I with some astonishment. ; L
"Never you mind, retorted the ticket
fellow insultingly; "I know my business.
It's a rule of the company not to permit
any monkey shines. I don't see exactly
where any crooked business could conic
in, but we're so dead fly here that wore
on the lookout day and night."
"What infernal rot," said the traveler
angrily. "I've bought P,.ilm.in accom
modations without showing railroad tick
ets a hundred times. What's the difference-?
If there v.-as any way of aecom
plisliing a swindle by showing a ticket
and buying a 'seat 011 it, a fellow could
borrow one from a ticket broker. Are
you going to sell me that seat?"
"I'm not."
"Y7ell, I'll travel by another road."
"Go ahead, but you can't play any
bunko game on me. I'm imported from
Baltimore by the company esiieci.ally to
head off all schemes and plots."
When the traveler applied to another
Pullman agent for an explanation of all
this, he was told the following:

The Origin of the Wrd"Coil."
Sometimes ministers make a point
in etymology which is not borne out
by the lacts. An exchange quotes
the following from F. W. Robertson:
"The love of God is the love of good
ness. The old Saxon word God is
identical with good : God, the good
One personified goodness. There
is in that derivation not a mere play
of words ; there is deep truth. None'
loves God but he who loves good."
The identification of "God" with
"good" is noted in "The Century
Dictionary" as a popular error. It is
there explained that "god" a worjl
common to all Teutonic tongues, was
fiist applied to the heathen deities
(generally in the plural), and elevated
to the Christian sense upon the con
version of the Teutonic peoples. Its
derivation from "good" isolated to
be impossible. Moreover, as the
Dictionary points out, the notion of
goodness is not conspicuous in the
heathen conception of deity, and in
eood itself the ethical sense is coin-
paratively late. -Ex.
