Young Lady Left by Fever in Very wesb
State Uses DIR. Williams Pink Ply
with Gratifying Results.
After fever, such as typhoid or scai-
let, has run its full course there remains
the recovery of strength. The tonic that
will most rapidly increase the red COR
puscles in the blood is the one that will
most quickly restore color to the pale
cheeks, strength to the weak muscles,
and elasticity to the sluggish nerves. So
far nothing has ever been produced SUI
pefior to DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
this purpose.
Miss Midendorf had been ill with
typhoid fever for fourteen weeks. She
had good physician who carried her
safely through the critical stages. When
he left, nothing remained to be done ex-
sept to build up her strength, which was
very feeble, and he gave her some pre-
scriptions for that purpose. Here, how.
ever, she met with disappointment.
"I took the DOCTORS tonics," she says,
"for two months after had recovered
from the fever, but they did not do me
the good Hooked for. My strength came
back so slowly that scarcely seemed to
be making any progress at all. Just
then l read i'll a book thrown tl our
yard some striking testimonials showing
what wonderful blood-builders and
strength givers DR.. Williams Pink Pills
are. l got box of them soon after
this and after I had taken only about
half of them could see very gr~at i'm.
provement in my condition. When 7
had used up two boxes, I felt that did
not need any more medicine. I have
remained strong ever since"

liams' Pink Pills are the best remedy to
use i'll all cases Of weakness, from what
ever cause the system may be run down.
In cases of debility due to overwork they

The Earliest Newspaper.

The first daily newspaper was a
manuscript letter written by salaried
correspondents and forwarded by
them every twenty-four hours from

the days of the early Stuarts. Dur

letters were printed in type and cir.

GET THE BURGLAR RIGHT.
Squire Was Ansered at Dizziness o.

This is one of the many stories told
OF old Squire Latham, a Plymouth
county attorney of some years back.
1t fully illustrates his GOODNESS and
love of method.
He was awakened one night by his
wife, who told him she thought there
were burglars in the house. The
squire put on his dressing gown and
went downstairs. In the back hall
he found a rough looking man trying
to open door that led into the back
yard.
The burglar had unlocked the door,
and was pulling it with all his might.
The squire, seeing the robbers pre-.

open that way, you idiot! 1t slides
