GRADUATE OF THE NEW YORK
 TRAINING SCHOOL TELLS HOW SHE
 RECUPERATEs AFTER A HEAVY
 STRAIN.
 The trained nurse plays a very inn pOrtant part in the modern treatment of disease greatly to the relief of both doctor and patient. Because she is we'll disciplined she is able to perfor m difficult service and to endure fatigue in a manner that exciteS admiration and wonder.
 She is human, however, and in try ing cases the demands upon her strength prove excessive. She fultills her duty nobly to the last moment but, as soon as she is relieved she is compelled to build up her own weak ened powers. She naturally wants the remedy that will restore her eff eiency in the shortest possible time, and as her knowledge of medicine is wide, her choice is likely to be sensi- ble one and remarkably good guide
 Every word of the following careful statement of Mrs Jessie M. F. Cum mings, of 6l Whitmore street, Hart ford, Conn.,, a graduate of the New York Training School for Nurses, is entitled to the utterance of an expert:
 Several months ago." said Mrs Cummings recently, T was complete ly worn out as the result of very se- rtous and trying case 1 had attended. needed 8 tonic, and so got six box eS Of Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and took them faithfully. obtained the good from them expect ed to, and say with truth and pleas ure that the remedy is splendid ton ic for woman's nerves.''
 The sOundneSs of Mrs Cummings opinion is confirmed by the experience of numerous sufferers from nervous disorders of every kind and degree from simple debility to partial paraly. sis. Dr Williams Pink Pills have cured obstinate cases of neuralgia prOStratiOn, sciatic and St VituS dance; they have even conquered the most frightful of nervous diseases, lOcomOtor ataxia, after the patient had been reduced to a state of help lesSness and had been told to prepare for death.
 They check waste and begin to min ister fresh and lasting vitality a, once. They are sold by all druggists throughout the world. A booklet giving information of great value in the treatment of nervous diseases will be sent free on application to the Dl Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady N. Y.
