Wonderful Results from Pink pills.

FROM Tie Democrat, Charfeuoix, Mich.
The Democrat has had its attention called

statement, made to a reporter of this paper.

afflicted Mrs. John Tooley, of Dwight. in
this county, Is the lady benefited by the
ing statement:
STATE OF MICHIGAN.
COUNT or CHARLEyoIx.
In the year 1881 was great sufferer
from extreme nervousness, which finally
developed into an aggravated attack of St
Vitus dance. Ny health was very poor and
suffered terribly for six months, CONSTANT
ly growing worse. Finally left home and
went to my relatives in Canada for a visit.
and my people never expected would re-
turn alive. In Canada was induced to try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and the result was
truly marvellous. When / began taking
them weighed but ninety-six pounds, and
In nine weeks time, during which took
four boxes OF the mS1icine. gained so that
/ weighed 125 pounds, and the st. Vitus'
dance and all nervousness disappeared
returned home in nine weeks, completely
cured and in the best of health, and have
continued SO to this day. Previous TO talk
ing the Pink Pills l had been attended by
several physicians, but with no good re-
earnestly recommended them TO all my
friends, and my mother and three brothers
have taken them with good results, my
mother for heart trouble. will be glad TO
answer any and all enquiries as to what
Pink Pills have done for me-
fSigned1 Mrs. John Tooley.
Sworn to and subscribed before me this
End day of July, 1886.
Mrs. Too1ey is now the picture of health,
and the Democrat reporter could hardly
realize that she was at one time so near TO
death. But her testimony Is unassailable,
and she is very earnest in her desire to
spread the good news to other sufferers.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a
condensed form, all the elements necessary
to give new life and richness to the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They are
also a specific for troubles peculiar to
females, such as suppressions, Irregularities
and all forms of weakness. They build up
the blood, and restore the glow of health to
pale and sallow cheeks. In men they effect
a radical cure in all cases arising from
mental worry, overwork or excuses of
whatever nature. Pink Pills are sold in
boxes and may be had of all druggists, or
direct by mail from DR.. Williams Medicine
Company, Schenectady, N Z.

would side with inch boards up and
down, batten cracks, and make four
gables, running the roof together tc
one point at center of feed room.
1t is not essential that the building
shall be over seven feet from floor tc
square; less will do. / prefer that a
hen-house be rooted with either boards
or shingles, as metal or slate get toe
hot for the best welfare of the fowls
The lights should be placed in so that
they will point to south or east and
should be from two and one-haIf feet
to three feet wide and five to six feet
high and well protected with strong
wire netting.
The partitions that separate the four
rooms from the feed room are intended
to be made mostly of wire netting or
lattice work. The nests are arranged
with the entire construction made in
feed room, with loop-hole from each
room leading into the alley that fronts
the nests, which allows the fowls of
each room to pass secretly into the
nests in the dark and still be in no way
connected with another set of nests.
The idea of making these nests in the
feed room is so that the eggs can be
taken out without going into the adj
joining room; also hens setting can be
let into center room, fed, and replaced
in their nests without disturbing any of
the laying fowls.
The dotted lines are to locGte how the
roosts can be put in diagonally, about
three or three and half feet high, and
a slanting floor placed underneath so
that the droppings will not get onto the
floor, and can be easily gathered by
pushing them with a scraper down to
the corner where they will drop into
4 portable box prepared for that pur-
pose. This can be done every morning
Il absolute cleanliness is desired. The
reader will observe that this arrange
ment affords the fowls full range on the
floor of each room without the necessity
of having the droppings to annoy them
through the day.
For heating and keeping warm, the
sides lined with wind-proof paper will
add much comfort, and I suggest the
placing of a cheap coal stove in the
center room. which viii aid materially
up, which will add great
comfort to the fowls and insure their
laying right along without interruption,
of the extreme cold.
The ranges outside can be arranged in
size to suit the owner of the fowls,
either large or small. according to the
room he may have to expand in. BY all |
means do not make such Enclosures too |
small The entrance door, two and one |
half feet wide, opens into short entry |
which opens with a door to the room on
the right and left and also into the |
center room.
This house will cost in the neighbor- /
hood of $40, labor included. I think an /
amateur who thinks of taking on three /
DIT four breeds of fowls will find
poultry house OF this plan quite suited 1
to the requirements of fitting out sew

NOES FOR MOTHERS.

Family jars injure babies; they par
take of the excitement that goes on
about them, because it alarms them.
They do not understand the turmoil,
and it irritates their delicate nerves.
The nursing of n baby is a very important
function; to it the mother should give
her best powers.
IF mother is not in good health, or
if she is subject to any exciting condi-
tons such as cause her system to be
thrown into state of feverishness, let
her give up nursing her child and give
it cows milk. The milk of a kind,
healthy, placid COW is better than that
of a feverish mother.
Don't be fretful and complaining and
fly into a, passion readily when you are
a nursing mother. Every time the
nursing mother grows angry and ex
cited, her milk becomes unwholesoEle
and sometimes so like poison that it
produces illness more or less violent in
the nursing babe.
The refreshments for children's part
ies should be simple yet inviting. Bouil
Ion, delicate sandwiches, thin brown
bread and butter, cocoa, ice cream,
simple cake and fruit are sufficient.
The confectionery might consist of the
best chocolate horizons and pepper
mint creams. Frow two to six. or from
four to eight, are good hours for little
folks parties.-Ladies' World.

CHEAP FARM PAINT
1t Gives a Satisfactory Finish on Either
Wood or Stone.

1t Gives a Satisfactory Finish Either
Wood OF Stone.
A method of painting farm buildings
and country houses. while By no means
new, is yet so little known and SO de-
serving of wider application as to war
rant Il description. The paint has but
two parts, both cheap materials, being
water lime or hydraulic cement and
skimmilk. The cement is placed in a
bucket, and the skimmill1, sweet, is
gradually added, stirring constantly
until just about the consistency of
good cream. The stirring must be
thoroughly done to have an even flow,
and if too thin the mixture will run on
the building and look streaked. The
proportions cannot be exactly stated,
but gallon of milk requires full quart
of cement, and sometimes little more.
This is a convenient quantity to mix
at time for one person to use. If too
much is prepared, the cement viii set
tie and harden before all Is used.
A Hat paint brush about four inches
wide is the best implement to use with
this mixture. Lay it onexactly as with
oil paint. It can be applied to wood
work, old or new, and to brick and
stone. When dry, the color is light
creamy brown. or what some would
call a yellowish stone color. The skim
milk cement paint, well mixed, with
out adding color has a good body, gives
smooth satisfactory finish on either
wood or stone and wears admirably
