ernment is Spreading.

dercurrent. of sentiment throughou

tricts, especially in Port Neuf, Drum
mond, CRANKY and the most remote
districts. Two organizers are travel
ing in the interest of Canadian indie
pendence clnbs throughout Canadian
centers in the United States and in
the eastern townships, where the idea
seems to meet with great favor.

Pure blood is the secret of health and
beauty. The features may be regular, the
form perfect, but no woman can be beautiful
in the full sense of the word while suffering
from any of the peculiar ailments of her sex.
Disease destroys the complexion, is produc-
tive of wrinkles and premature old age.
Regular monthly uterine action is necessary
to every woman's health, and if this func-
ton of life is checked, disease, pale and
sallow complexion, and feeling of eXhaus-
ton, are the result. The monthly secretion
must continue from puberty to the turn of
life without unnatural obstruction. Any
breach of this law of Nature will result in
the distressing symptoms which make the
lives of seven-tenths of the women of this
country miserable, almost unbearable. A
few of these symptoms are severe headache,
loss of appetite pale or sallow complexion,
palpitation of the heart, swollen ankles or
legs, nervousness, offensive breath, etc., etc.
The sufferer may exhibit one or more of
these. symptoms. or may have all. They
upon the SYSTEM and the more of the symp-
toms the patient shows the greater the neces-
sity for prompt and persistent treatment,
until they have been banished and the
bloom of health is restored. To accomplish
this end DR.. Williams Pink Pills are the
only unfailing remedy. They positively
cure all suppressions and irregularities,
WHICH, IL ucSlcCIcu, INEVITABLY Sutdll SiCA-
ness and trouble. By taking these pills for
week or ten days before the expected re-
turn of each period, the prompt appearance
of "the visitor is insured. For suppress
siorS, the pills must be taken steadily until
the temperance takes place-generally in
months time, sometimes less. Follow the
directions on the pamphlet about each box.
Nursing women will find their milk i'm
proved in quality and quantity by taking
these pills, and also obtain relief from pain
in the back and general dragged-out feeling.
All displacements from weakness of the
uterine ligaments are speedily relieved and
ultimately cured by the use of these pills.
Leucorrhea, bearing down, weight in the
pelvis, and all female weakness, find speedy
relief and cure in the administration of the
Pink Pills for Pale People.
The most critical period in the life of
woman is that attending the cessation of
menstruation, or, as it is most generally
termed, the change or turn of life. The
symptoms attending this period are fainting
spells or attacks of faintness or dizziness,
headache, general debility, exhaustion, a
feeling of melancholy, hysteria, pain in the
loins or limbs hypochondria, etc. The
change is gradual one-for better or worse
for the former if the PATIENTS wise enough
to fortify the system against the ravages of
the symptoms attending the change. For
this purpose no remedy ever discovered
equals DIR. Williams Pink Pills. They
purify the blood by acting directly upon the
sexual system, lessen the severity of this
critical period, and finally leave the patient
in the enjoyment of robust health. All
ladies approaching this critical period should
take DIR. Williams Pink Pills.

Miss Lottie Donell lives with her parents
at 702 Natoma Street, San Francisco She
is young lady nineteen years of age, and of
prepossesslng appearance. Ever since she
was ten years old Miss Donell has been
sufferer from a rheumatic affection of the
wrist, and since she was thirteen years of
age she has been subject to various female
weaknesses which have kept her physical
vitality at very low stage. Thus, as she
says, she has been a victim Of disease ever
since she can remember. When she was
a little girl at school she was always placed
at disadvantage with her playmates on &C.
count of her frailty of body and timidity of
manner. She could never join in any of the
more boisterous games, although she always
longed to do so.
But the embarrassing conditions of Miss
DoEell's life have all been eliminated with
in the past year, and the change is wholly
due to the effective work of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.

This is an application by L. G.. M.
Fletcher, land owner affected by
