A GREAT SUFFERER
LAY HELPLESS AND sPEEOHLEss
FOR HOURS AT A TINE.
Sinking Spells, Headaches, Rheumntisn.
All Caused by Poor Biood-Curod by
DIR. Williams' Pink Pills.

| DR.. Wiliiams' Pink Pills.
| When Mrs. Williams was asked for
some details of the fearful illness from
which she had so long suffered, she spoke
as follows:
Ever since I had nervous prostration,
about thirteen years ago. 1 have had
periodical spells of complete exhaustion.
Any excitement or unusual activity
would throw me into state Of lifeless-
ness. At the beginning my strength
would come back in moderate time,
but the period of weakness kept length
ening until at last would lie helpless
us many as three hours at stretch"
You were under medical treatment,
of course?'
Yes, when became so bad that
had to give up my housework, in May of
| 1908. l was being treated for kidney
| trouble, and later the doctor thought my
difficulties came from change of life.
was not only weak, but 1 had dizzy
feelings, palpitation of the heart, misery
after eating, hot flashes, nervous head
aches, rheumatic pains in the back and
hips. The doctor did me SO little good
that gave up his treatment, and really
feared that my case was incurable."
What saved you from your state Of
| hopelessness?"
"In July of 1908 had very bad
spell, and my husband came in one day
with little book which told Of remark
able cures effected by a remedy for the
blood and the nerves. DIR. Williams Pink
Pills. He bought box for me, and
that was the beginning of my return to
health. My appetite grew keen. my food
no longer distressed me, my nerves were
quieted, and my strength began to re-
vive."
"How long did you take this remedy"
For two months only. At the end
of that time 1 had regained my health
and cheerfulness. and my friends say
that l am looking better than I have
done for the past fifteen years"
Mrs. Lizzie Williams is now living at
No. 416 Cedar street. Quincy, Illinois.
The pills which she praises so highly,
cure all diseases that come from i'm
poverished blood. If your system is all
run down, DR.. Williams Pink Pills are
the very best remedy to take. Any drug
gist can supply them.

oriqin of Handkerchief.

In former days if people used the
pocket handkerchief they carefully
kept the fact to themselves; it would
have been considered an indelicacy tc
do otherwise.
The Empress Josephine was the
first person to use a pocket handker
chief publicly. Her beauty was spoiled
by bad teeth. and to conceal this fact
she used to gracefully hold costly
handkerchief before her mouth. OF
course. the ladies' of her court soon
followed her example, and thus the
use of handkerchiefs became fashion
