A LABOR PROBLEM

The walking delegate is not the only
one who can order the employee TO give
up his Job. Some irregularity IN his
health may force him from his work and
render him incapable of improving the
very finest opportunity in the world.
A remedy that will restore health solves
many labor difficulties at once and makes
the path TO success smooth one.
Miss Winnifred Ray, of No. 917
Water street, Wichita, Kansas. has
passed happily through all experience
which illustrates this point. She says !:
=" In 1901 began to suffer from con-
siderable disturbance of my health.
There was arrangement Of stomach and
bowels, as well as female troubles.
Nv appetite became very feeble. Some
davs | had no desire for food at all and
when l did take any it caused me great
discomfort, particularly burning sensa-
tions Ialso had palpitstion Of the heart
and often sense of being smothered,
and became so nervous / couldn't sleep.
One doctor thought had heart disease,
another consumption, another a radical
disorder Of the liver While | was not
confined to my bed, was SO miserable
that really thought must die.
After suffering in this way for year
without finding any relief, read about
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
in book and got a box and began to
use them. In week was better. In
six or seven weeks was well. Ny liver
seemed to be stimulated at once and my
complexion cleared up. The burning sem
sation left my stomach and | could eat
nearly everything l wanted. | had no
more pain in my abdomen and no moro
trouble with nay heart. Ny whole system
appeared to be regulated and the grave
fears of the doctors were all banished.
l have recovered my strength and
cheerfulness and am able to do my reg
ular daily work and to support myself
again. The pills have done me great
good and believe they would help others
equally if they would try them"

Salt pork is a famous old.
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
eonsumptive SO and roc
years ago.
Salt pork Is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott's sEmulsionis themod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined Of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
Scott'S Emulsion ooes more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.
