A Trained Nurse Whose Endu-

Il thought I could stand anything"
said Mrs. Jennie Sanford. trained
nurse, who lives at No. ITO Baird street,
Benton Harbor. Mich. but 1 found
that my endurance had a limit. 1t was
after attending a case which required
more than ordinary watchfulness and
care that broke down in health. 1 was
afraid that 1 should be compelled to
give up my work entirely and believe
that would have been the case had it
not been for DR.. Williams Pink Pills

You ask me what Dr. Williams Pink
Pills have done for me? They have done
what doctors and all other medicines
failed to do-they have made me a well
woman. My system was all rundown
and my stomach became affected. had
indigestion SO bad that my sufferings
with it nearly drove me distracted. Of
tentimes 1 was obliged to take to my
bed. My stomach refused food and if
did force myself to eat anything 1t
would not stay down: my head ached
most of the time, I grew weak and felt
perfectly miserable.
II read about Dr. williams Pink
Pills and thought 1 would give them
trial. And they helped me at once A
rev DOXeS cured me entirely and have
had no return of the trouble. Since then
have recommended Pink Pills for
Pale People to many and have used
them in my family whenever there WAS
need of medicine"
The pills which cured Mrs. Sanford
have accomplished as wonderful results
in hundreds and hundreds of other more
severe cases. They have proved a
specific for locomotor ataxia, partial
paralysis, st. Vitus' dance, sciatica,
neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous head

After 1 had managed to draw a long
breath and shake off my lethargy L
observed to Mr.. Bowser that I had spent
two hours that afternoon looking over
his love letters. This has been sore
point with him for years Before we
were married he wrote me two or three
of the most gushing letters every day,
but any reference to them year after
ward always started row. On this
occasion 1 mentioned that he had called
me his dear. darling, angel pet" 81
times in the same letter. but he smiled
and patted me on the shoulder and said
that 1 was all of that.
AT 10 o'clock we entered the house
to go to bed. There was a caster from
one of the chairs lying loose on the
floor. and I actually called Mr.. Bowser's
attention to it, hoping he would raise a
row. on several occasions, when such
things have caught his notice, he has
charged me with taking the ak or the
crowbar and deliberately smashing up

Mr.. Wadlow said he thought the best
way to encourage citizens to plant trees
and cultivate flowers about their homes
was to teach them the love Of trees and
flowers.

year an ordinance for the control of bill
boards. The City Comptroller says he can
allow $500 for the placing Of waste-paper
boxes about the streets. and secure an or

garding the placing of these boxes.
The league offered prizes for the back

among the citizens in this way. The league
also advocated the antispitting ordinance.
