A WOMAN SUCCESS
AN INTERESTING STORY OF HOW
SHE ATTAINED 1T.
For Long Time 1t Seemed That Good
Fortune Would Not Come-An App
parent TrifIe Brought It About.

AS with many other women, fortune
fingered q. long while before coming to
Mrs. Knowles But finally trifiing oc-
currence brought it to her. Mrs. George
NJ. Knowles lives at No. 16 North street,
Portland, Me-. and when a reporter
visited her to learn the facts of the case,
she said:
For a year and a half suffered tor
lures from rheumatism. When 1 arose
in the morning or when 1 got up to
walk after I had been sitting down for
a while my joints became stiff and 1
could not move easily as 1 did before
the rheumatism set in. My feet ached
and could not walk without lfmping
for some minutes after 1 started out.
1t was very painful and interfered
great deal with my household duties.
How did you succeed in becoming
cured?" asked the newspaper man.
TT was one of those apparently little
things that brought it about" replied
Mrs Knowles, with a smile Il had
been suffering in this way for a year
and half when one day happened to
pick up the paper and to see an adver-
tisement of DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. l made up my mind to try
them When l had taken one box felt
better and after 1 had taken the pills
for about two months all the pain was
gone This was a year ago and the
rheuma tiSm has not troubled me since.
The above statement of Mrs. Knowles
-,Fas sworn to at the reporters request
before Marshall H. burlington, notary
public, at Portland, and published in
the Express, a reliable newspaper Of
that city.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie will not only cure cases similar to
that of Mrs. Knowles but, containing as
they do. all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood
and restore shattered nerves, they have
proved efficacious in a wide range of
diseases. They are an unfailing specific
for such diseases as loeomotor ataxia,
partial paralysis, st. Vitus' dance,
sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nerv
GUS headache, the after-effects of grip,
of fevers and of other acute diseases,

Have you ever noticed asked
thoughtful citizen. how few children
ever complain OF the heat? Grown
people grumble at the hot weather
from morning till highland all night
too. for that matter. but you seldom
hear a child say that he or she IS
too hot. Boys and girls play all cay
long-and play is hard work. some OF
it-they run from morning till night
children seldom sit down-but they do
not take time TO abuse the weather.
A boy will drink unlimited water
every time he gets chance; he can
eat watermelon until he almost eX-
plodes, and can cover three ice cream
sodas at a sitting: bat you never hear
him say he is tired of hot weather
The little girls. too. are great water
drinkers-they prefer ice cream to all
cool beverages, however. and love to
narade with their little parasols and
fans: rarely, though. are they ever
heard to wish it was not so warm.
