NO MORE HEADACHE
GENERAL WEAKNESS AND FEVER
DISAPPEAR TOO.
How Woman Was Freed from Troubles
That Had Made Life wretched for
Many Years.

Many Years.
The immediate causes of headaches
vary, but most of them come from poor
or poisoned blood. In ananlia the blood
is scanty or thin; the nerves are imper-
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
the nerves andSproduces pain. In rheu-
matism, malaria and the grip, the poison
IN tho blood produces like discomfort. In
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood in the same way.
The ordinary acknowledgements at best
give only temporary relief. They dcaden
the pain but do not Grive the poison out
of the blood. DIR. Williams Pink Pills
ON the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-
nently. Women in particular have found
these pills an unfailing relief in head
aches caused by ananlia.
Miss Stella Blocker recently said: "Dr.
Williams Pink Pills did ne great deal
OF good. L had headache nearly all the
time. After had taken three boxes of
these pills i became entirely we'll"
" How long had you suffered ?" she
was asked.
" For several years. ] can't tell the
exact date when my illness began for it

arrested at the instance of the Brazil
ian minister in Madrid on the charge
OF conspiring with others against the

the residence of Senior de Herrera re-
suited in the discovery of q number
OF commissions for officers who were
TO organize an army in the state Of
Kunani. The commissions bore the
stamp of that state. Documents taken
from De Herrera's residence show
that organization was proceeding on a
vast scale and that nearly 1000 men
had already been recruited in Eng
land, 1000 in France and 1000 in
Spain, among the last named being in
cluded many Spanish reserve officers.
some of whom are actually serving as
active officers. An Revolutionary
Spanish captain, who headed the ris-
ing in Badaios in 1888. holds a COM
mission of colonel in the future army
of Kunani, and ii is stated that he is
already receiving pay through an
English banking house at which funds
are deposited. De Herrera styled him
self minister plenipotentiary of Spain
for the state of kunani. The Brazil
ian government got wind of the affair
and communicated with its minister at
Madrid. The Spanish authorities were
notified and acted promptly and the
arrest of De Herrera followed.
