HER UNCLE'S WISH
This Young Woman is Glad She
Complied With 1t.

There is woman in New Hampshire
who can congratulate herself on com
plying with a request Of her uncle. She
is Mrs Ella Chaplin, of Claremont. Not
long ago she contracted an8mia and
was in miserable condition till, at the
request of her uncle, she took DR.. vii
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. What
this wonderful remedy did for her Is best
told in her own words:
From longand constant caring for my
sick mother, she says my system be-
came all rundown and, in the fall OF
1897, | realized that was in very poor
state of health. | was nervous and my
blood was thin and poor. had dizzy
spells and severe headaches, had no ap'
petite and became SO weak that | was
unable to do anything. The slightest
exertion made me short OF breath and
faint
This state of affairs continued for a
year and grew constantly worse. My
uncle heard of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People at Springfield, and was
told of some remarkable cures they had
accomplished, so he got me supply.
began taking them and in less than two
weeks could see a change for the bet
ter. | continued their use aud in short
time was cured.
Mrs. Chaplin suffered from an9mia, q
disease caused by an actual deficiency OF
the blood and O watery and depraved
state of that fluid. 1t is characterized
by pallid complexion, pale lips. dull
eyes, tongue and gums bloodless ; short
ness of breathupon slight exertion--es-
pecially upon going up stairs; palpitation
of the heart, feeling Of impending death,
weakness, loss of appetite and ambition.
II left to itself it is apt to result in de.
cline and death.
The one remedy that has proved itself
Q specific for this disease is DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. These pills,
taken in increasing doses, will never fail
to effect a cure if used persistently for a
reasonable length Of time. They are also
an unfailing specific for such diseases as
locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St.
Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheum-
atism, nervous headache, the after effects
Of the grip, palpitation Of the heart, pale
and sallow compilations and all forms OF
weakness either in male or female.

Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.
