4 BENEFAcTRESS WHO IS

Dev0tes Much Of Her Time to the Benefits Of
Children How She Helps Them.
From the Evening Ne,0s, Detroit, Mich.

Mn. John Tansey, of 100 Baker Street,
Detroit, Michigan, is one of those women
who always know just what to do in all
trouble and sickness. One that is mother
to those in distress. To reporter she said:
II am the mother of ten children and
have raised eight of them. Several years
ago we had serious time with my daughter,
which began when she was about sixteen
years old. She did not have any serious
illness but seemed to gradually waste away.
Having never had any consumption in our
families, as we come of good old Irish and
Scotch descent, we did not think it was that
disease. Neither did she have hacking
cough, yet she grew thinner and paler each
day. Our doctor called the disease by an
odd name which, as I afterward learned,
meant lack of blood.
I" 1t is impossible to describe the feelings
John and l had as we noticed our daughter
slowly passing away from us. As last re-
sort was induced to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, made by the DR.. Will
liams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.
Y, which understood contained in con-
densed form all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and

all medical treatment that money

he could hear of, but got no relief; spent
many nights sitting up in chair; was
induced to try DR.. Kings New Dis
covery, and was cured by the use of
bottles For past three years has been
attending to business, and says DR..
Kings New Discovery is the grandest
remedy ever made, as it has done SO
much for him and also for others in his
community. DIR. Kings New Dis

ing of the w. g. T. u. was held at the
home of Mrs. w. B. King on Jan. 18th.
1898, a goodly number being present,
The meeting opened, as usual, by
scripture reading and prayer. Many
temperance items were given by those
present, of interest to the cause, after
which responsive reading was read
on the Subject of tithing, which was
both interesting and instructive.
Mrs. P. D. Hitchcock presided over
the mothers meeting, which followed.
She read on excellent address by Miss
Amelia Hoffer of Chicago, given at
the recent council of women at Wash

A short discussion arose in regard to

Mrs. II Winter. It was resolved not
only to loan books free of charge for
two weeks, but to order books or other

and have recommended them to every one

them and they have made some wonderful
cures. One of the girls had young lady
friend that came to the house almost every
day, and she was a sight. Honestly, she
seemed almost transparent. I did not care
to have my daughters associate with her, an
l was afraid she would drop dead some day
when they were out on the street. l recon-
mended and begged her to take DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and told
her of their sterling qualities and how the
cost was slight, being only so cents box or
six boxes for $3.50, at any druggists. Final
ly induced her to try them.
"They helped her wonderfully, and un.
doubtedly saved her life. She now recon-.
mends them to other young women.
every mother in this land should keep
these pills in the house, as they are good for
many other ailments. l don't believe in
doctoring and never spent much money in
medicines, but I can recommend DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills to every mother that has
daughter just coming into womanhood."
