EFFECTS OF PROSPERITY.

In the six years OF the country's
greatest prosperity, from 1897 to 1903,
average prices Of breadstuffs advanced
65 per cent, meats 231 per cent, dairy
and garden products SOL per cent,

prOfted more than any other class OF
the community by these advances.
The miner benefited 42.1 per cent by
that advance in the average price OF
metals. The only decrease in the
average prices OF commodities in that
period was in railway freight rates
which decreased from .79S per ton

results, time after time, right IN my own

how well they deserve praise

I first read about DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, and bought my first box I was at
that time all run down, weak, nervous
and without ambition. had been doc
toring all summer for malaria and
stomach trouble. Everybody thought
was going into consumption, as my
mother had died Of that disease.
g Thanks to DR.. Williams Pink Pills,
I am now alive and hearty. 1 began to
improve as soon as began to take them,
and when had taken three boxes I was a
well woman. Everyone wonders how
keep 50 well and am able to care for my
home and SIX children without help.
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills explain it.
My Oldest girls health began to fail
when she was about fourteen. She was
nervous, complained Of sharp pains in
her head, would get deathly sick and
have to leave the school room to get fresh
mir to revive her. I gave some pills to her.
She took only a few boxes, but they cured
her troubles, and caused her to develop
into perfect picture Of health. Then my
husband took them for rheumatism and
found that they would cure that too. So
you see we have all got great good from
using them, and that is why we recon-
mend them to others"
