James, whose recent return to the work
from which she was driven by nervous

the primary department Of which had

of two teachers. The strain was too
much for my nerves and two years ago
the crisis came.

sically, sent in my resignation and never
expected to be able to resume work. It
seemed to me then that was the most
miserable woman on earth. was tor
tured by nervous headaches, worn out by
inability to. sleep, and had SO little
blood that was as white az chalk.
CATER my active life, it was hard to
bear idleness, and terribly discouraging
to keep paying out the savings Of years
for medicines which did me no good"
"How did you get back your health ?"
"a bare chance and lot of faith led
me to cure. After had suffered for
many months. and when was on the
very verge Of despair, happened to read
an account Of some cures effected by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills. The state
ments were 80 convincing that I some
how felt assured that these pills would
help me. Most people, think, buy only
one box for trial, but purchased six
boxes at once, and when had used
them up. was indeed well and had no
need of more medicine.
cdr. Williams Pink Pills enriched my
thin blood, gave me back my sleep, re-
stored my appetite, gave me strength to
walk long distances without fatigue, in
fact freed me from all my numerous all

months. and cannot say enough in
praise of DR.. Williams Pink Pills"
Miss Margaret NJ. James is now living
at No. 1873 Clay street, Dayton, Ohio.

So clever is the American girl Of the
day that one would never recognize
her as tho same girl as she appears
at different hours OF the day. She has
learned the Importance Of resting lust
as she has realized the benefit derived
from outdoor exercise. She regards
being lazy as n ~virtue-that is, Just for
a certain length Of time each day. Her
relaxing hour is part Of her beauty
