STRENGTHENING the Nerves.

Self-control or nerve force is the
great lesson of health. and. therefore.
OF life itself To understand how to
relax is TO understand how TO Myth
en- nerves. Hearty laughter is source
OF relaxation, as are also all high
thoughts, as those OF hope, beauty,
trust or love. Relaxation is found In
diversion. An occasional outing or
holiday is necessary. As there are
conscious and unconscious thoughts,
there are conscious and unconscious
nerve tension. Women, when shop
ping, do not know the very tight grip
they give their parcels until, on reach
ing home, their hands fall relaxed In
their laps and they say they are so

In the winter Of 1923 Mr.. Schroeppel
was confined to his bed by n severe at
tack of rheumatism. His doctors treat
ment proved unsuccessful, but he subse-
quently regained his health by means
which he describes with great enthr-
siasm.
"After five or six weeks Of HOPELESS
moss and pain, said he, during which
i was receiving regular visits from the
doctor, / felt as bad IA ever. just then
my mother . woman eighty years Of
age, paid me visit. She had received
great benefit from DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, and sho was confident they would
help me. At her solicitation gave mp
tho doctors treatment and took the pills
Ia its place.
"And were you cured as the result Of
taking her advice?"
"Yes, quickly and thoroughly. Be-
fore the second box was finished | fei.

two weeks | was able TO leave my bed and
take up my neglected farm work. / con-

ahis happy result and my family freely
praise DIR. Williams Pink Pills"
Within the bounds OF China township,

urally attracted great deal Of attention.
one of Mr.. Schroeppels neighbors, Cap

salutary results III Mr.. Schroeppel's case,
decided TO try DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for an attack Of rheumatism from which
he was himself suffering He took eight
or ten boxes and now declares himself
free from the painful ailment"
IL is little wonder that DIR. Williams
Pink Pills are much in favor i'm the COM
