missioner of patents yielded TO the on
slaught of disease at 3:l5 o'clock In the
afternoon. For two weeks his life had
been in the balance. The most skillful
medical assistance obtainable had been
summoned to his aid, but it was pow
eress to check the ravages of illness
in his weakened constitution, enfeebled
as IL was by arduous work for the Re-
publican party in the last presidential
campaign.
His faithful wife and sorrowing chill
dren were at his bedside to the last,
and their sole comfort is that the end
was peaceful. In the closing month OF
The last campaign Major Butterworth'
family and Intimate friends noticed
that his health was being undermined
by his devoted efforts for the McKinley
ticket He was warned by his physi-
clan, but although compelled TO seek
rest at times he taxed his strength tc
the utmost until the polls closed. Ther
he went to Cleveland, where he Wa:
| suddenly stricken with pneumonia. Or
| Nov. his recovery was Amos
despa!red of, but his grim determine
! tion. aided by medical skill, ayerted th'
| end Tor a time.

Many girls Of sixteen years seem to
have consumption. although they have 1t
not.
Their anxious parents and friends watch
them slowly fade away.
A death-Hke pallor, transparent com
plexion and listlessness are signs Of this
condition.
The body lacks blood.
Mrs. John / anscy knows the meaning
Of these sym ptoms, and the cure.
She lives at 100 Baker Street, Detroit,
Mich.
Her advice to mothers has been OF great
value to her neighbors. She tells the story
to help others who are at distance.
She said:
when my daughter was sixteen years
old she began TO waste away.
Had | not known there was no faint OF
consumption in the family | would have
believed her lungs were affected.
"She grew thinner and thinner every day.
She lacked only the hacking cough to show
all the Outward signs OF consumption.
"Our doctor called the disease BY an ODD
name, which learned meant simply weak
blood.
No treatment seemed 10 do her any good.
She was fading away before Our eyes.

Pills for Pale People, and the change they
made was almost magical.
Before she had taken halt box there
was a great Improvement In her looks, ap-
petite and weight.

was in perfect health.
"Siree then / have kept DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People in the house al
ways and have done much good with them.
"One example;
There Is a young girl friend Of my
daughter who seemed almost transparent.
She was white and very thin. We were
afraid she would fall dead in the street
when she went out.
Il begged her to take DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, and finally induced
her to try them. They helped her won
oerfully, probably saved her lite and re-
stored her to perfect health. Now she Is
recommending them to other young women.
Il earnestly advise mothers with grow
ing daughters to keep DR.. Williams Pink
Pills always on hand as household remedy.
Many women's lives are miserable be-
cause such symptoms as Mrs. ansey'f
daughter showed were neglected while they
were developing into womanhood. During
that period Of rapid development the blood
needs the highest degree OF strength to re-
pair the tissues that are rapidly wasted.
I hose needed elements are supplied by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
I he vegetable ingredients Of these pills act
like magic IN restoring strength to the mus
cles and roses to the cheeks OF growing girls
or adults weakened by overwork.
