KNOW THYSELF.
Science Helps You to Be Your
Own Doctor.
The Story of a Woman Who Kept Posted
on the Work of Science and Saved
Her Owa Life.
From the Era. Bradford. Pa.

Too few people are acquainted with the
rapid advance of medical science, aud too
many doctors are still plodding in the old
paths. Once it comes to pass that people
know themselves, that all physicians are
abreast of the worlds knowledge, much of
our suffering will come to an end. Medic
al scientists are not delving into the depths
of knowledge for the mere benefit of brother
physicians, but for the benefit of the
world. They place in the hands of the well
man means of keeping well, in the hands
of the sick means OF recovery. To the
parent they give the power of saving the
child. Science is working for you-will you
accept the proffered helpg
Mrs. George Rowend, an estimable lady
who resides at No. go East Main Street,
has cause to feel grateful toward the
science of medicine.
One day recently, reporter, learning that
Mrs. RoWend had been greatly benefited by
the use of new medicine, interviewed her.
She stated that she had been suffering with
q female treuble for many years. She had
been doctOred for the allment Tor a long
time-in fact, nearly all her 1ife--and had
never received anything more than tempo
rary relief. During the last three years her
condition grew worse and was aggravated
by an affection of the heart. Her health was
so poor that she found it almost impossible
to perform her household duties
81 never believed in proprietary medi-
cines,'' said Mrs. ROWend, 'but one day last
fall 1 read an article in a newspaper which
told of the cures effected by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. and decided to try the medi-
cine. Before I had taken the contents of
one box 1 began to feel better. The depress-
ing weakness which had bothered me for so
many years began to disappear. and the ac-
| tiou of the heart at once became stronger
and more regular.
81 took nine boxes of the pills and I am
now feeling better tnan l have for several
years, and I have unbounded faith in the
medicine"
Mrs. Rowend is steadily gaining in health
| and strength and gives all the credit for her
restoration to heulth to DR.. Williams Pink
| Pills for Pale People.
DR. Williams Pink Pills contain all the
| elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered
| nerves. They are for sale by all druggists,
or may be had by mail from DR.. Williams
| Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y, for
50 cents per box. or six boxes for $3.50.
