A very grateful mother is Mrs. A. L.
HARNESS, OF 6i6 Grandy Avenue, De-

daughter has received by the use OF
DR.. Williams Pink pills. said Mrs.
Hartness: Yes. my daughters life has
been saved by using Pink Pills, thanks
70 a kind friend who recommended them

Blanche was sick for over three
years. She nae the care of the best
physicians p~rocurable, and no expense
or trouble was spared to give her relef.
She was so hin that she was fairly Kin
and bones, her digestion was out or
order and she had the most awful head
aches. We gave up all hope of her re-
covery. Her long, thin, listless face
made me nearly half crazy and we did
every thing I'm our power TO give her
strength and induce her to take an in
terest in anything.
"One day a friend told me about the
Pink Pills, and Mr.. Hardness went down
town and got three boxes. She had
taken about one box, when, TO my
amazement, one morning l heard her
playing OF the piano. could hardly be-
lieye it, for il had been over a year
since the piano had been opened.
Soon she began 10 take shor rides

wheel over TO Mt. Clemens or Pontiac,

Il had a girl living at our house who
was a great sufferer from impoverished
blood. and who received instant ard
permanent relief from the use OF one
box of the pills.

The proprietors of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills state that they are not a patent
medicine but a prescription used for
many years by an eminent practitioner
who produced the most wonderful re-
suits with them, curing all forms OF

tional committee that the New York
delegation shall be permitted to name
the temporary chairman of the con-
vention and it is the supposition that
it will select Bourke Cochran, though
this can hardly be determined until
the delegation arrives on the ground
the next day after the members are
elected.
For permanent chairman there has
been much talk of Senator Villas. Of
Wisconsin, but during the last few
days Villas has loomed up in large pro-
portions as u possibility for the presi-
dental nomination. and If this seems
probable when the convention meets
the permanent chairman will probably
be taken from the South, and there Is
much talk of Senator Caffery. of Louis
lana, and Ex-Governor Jones, of Ala
bama for the position. The cores
pondence of the executive committee
indicating a large attendance upon the
convention is borne out by the hotel
engagements that have been pouring in
since Friday night in "a manner that at
first tickled the Bonifaces and now
alarms them.
