Iiams' Pink Pills Quickly
Cure Both.

$ The steady use of particular get OF
muscles tends to chronic fatigue, which
produces faulty or difficult motion,
trembling, cramps and even paralysis.
Writers, telegraphers, tailors and seam
stresses are among the classes most
threatened in this way with the loss OF
their power to earn living. The fol-
lowing instance shows that nerve power
NAV be recovered after it seems entirely
lost, if the right means are taken. Mrs.
o. S. Blacksten, of No. 5S4 North Bow
man street, Mansfield, Ohio, says:
"For years my hands would become
40 numb at times that would drop
anything I attempted to lift. Later
they became so bad that could not sew
any longer, and at last could scarcely
do anything at all with my hands. At
night the pricking sensations would
come OH worse than ever, and my hands
and arms would pain so that dreaded
to 90 to bed. My family doctor gave me
some nerve tablets. They helped me
little, but only for short time after I
had taken them and if happened to be
without them for day or two would
be as bad as ever or even worse. Finally
I got box of DIR. Williams Pink Pills
and began to take them.
"The result was surprising. By the
time had taken the last pill i'll my first
box could see a gain. Thanks to DR..
Williams Pink Pills, 1 am now all right.
I can sleep undisturbed by pain, and for
two years have been as well as ever"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills feed the
nerves by making new, rich blood and
in this way have cured nervous diseases
of every description from simple rest
lessless to paralysis. They have BAN
ished the fortunes of neuralgia, the
weakness of nervous prostitution, the
disability and awful pain of locomotor
ataxia. They are sold by all druggists

That sure cure has been discovered for
those sciatic pains that make SO many
lives miserable, is the firm opinion OF Mr.:
D. s.. Colson, a well known resident OF
this place, and he does not hesitate to say
that cure is Dodd's Kidney Pills. The
reason Mr.. Colson is so firm in his opin.
is that he had those terrible pains and is

within a week raw Japanese crew had
learned how to manage the shogun's

loafs like a hobo will collapse. The man
who lives fast dies fast. No getting over
that proposition. While the one who
lives nationally, sanely, lives long and

Every mother possesses information
which is OF vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they so often withhold
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When a girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or dis
position to sleep, pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is mystery to herself and
friends, her mother should come to her
aid, and remember that Lydia e. Pink

this time prepare the system for the
coming change, and start the menstrual
period in young girls life without
pain or irregularities.

for them, have been received by the
