All sufferers from weakness or disor-

with lively interest the story of the COM
plete recovery of Mrs. Nettlie Darvoux
from chronic dyspepsia which was
thought to be incurable.
To be ailing for nine years is not a
very pleasant experience" said Mrs.
Darvoux, when asked for some account
of her illness. " For two years was
critically i'll and could not attend to my
household duties, and at one time l was
so weak and miserable shat l could not
even walk My trouble was chronic dys-
pepsia. l became extremely thin and
had sallow complexion. l had 10 APP

out suffering great distress"
"Did you have a physician?"
"Yes, l took medicine from a dozen
different doctors. but without getting
any benefit whatever.
"How did you get on the track of a
cure?''
"a book about DR.. Williams Pink Pills
was thrown in our doorway one day.
My husband picked it up and read it
through carefully. He was so impressed
by the statements of those who had been
cured by that remedy that he imme-
diately bought three boxes of the pills
and insisted on my taking them"
"Did they help you at oncc:"

after started to use the pills and by the
time had taken the three boxes was
entirely well. DIR. Williams Pink Pills
can cure even when doctors fail, and
they cure thoroughly, for long time

and know it is complete and lasting"
The surest way to make sound dges-
ton is to give strength to the organs con-
cerned. DIR. Williams Pink Pills give
new vigor to the blood. No other REM

Overcoming Hereditary Tuberculosis

Much is being said nowadays re
spgcting the out-ofdoor treatment of
tuberculosis, a disease which, while
rarely directly transmissible by hercd-
i'y, is one the predspositon to which
IS n the highest degree hereditary.
Il las been clearly shown by numer-
Gus experiments in various parts Of
the United States that out-ofdoor life
with regular hygienic habits, ire
svactive of altitude or special cimat-
ir adyantages, is capable of so aiding
the natural powers of the body as to
effect a cure of this formidable NAL
adv without the use of drugs of any
sort.
tuberculosis is disease of civiliza-
tioa- 1t scarcely exists among saw
ace who live in the primitive state,
bur quickly appears among such peo-
pI- when the habits of civilization are
adoDted, especially the indoor life.
Tie South American monkey and the
North American Indian alike fall vic
tim to this disease when shut away
from the sunlight and active exercise
out Of doors.
The time is not far distant when
every large city will find it necessary
to Vrovide convenences for the ap-
plcation of this simple curative meas
ure not only for the purpose Of rescu-
in he victims of pulmonary tubcr-
Gu is from the certain fate which
awaits them, but as an essential
measure for protecting the public
heath.

OCCUPATION and Tuberculosis.

The influence of occupation as a
cause of consumption is shown by DR..
]. NJ French in the Medical Exam
iner
Al least four classes of employ
mems ments have a tendency to favor
the development of tuberculosis.
They are:
/. Sedentary employments in i'll
ventilated apartments. involving con
fiuement in impure air, and other un-
wholesome conditions. This class of
occupations is typifed by the So
called swet-shops for the manufacture
Of various articles of clothing.
2. Employments which necessitates
the inhalation of irritating dust and
noxious vapors. Such are those of
stone-cutters, bleachers, matchmak.
ers, file-cutters, grinders, engravers.
etc.
8. Employments which involve the
oyeruse or abuse of certain muscles.
These are athletes, prize fighters,
gymnasts, wrestlers, professional bi-
cycle riders ball players, etc, large
of whom die eventually of
phthisis.
4. Employments which involve un-
due familiarity with intoXicantS.
These are those connected with man
and sale of wine, beer and
the various classes of alcoholics.
Tatham's tables show that, taking The
average mortality from consumption
at one hundred. that of publicans is
one hundred and forty, of brewers one
hundred and forty-eight and of bar
tenders two hundred and iiity-seven.
