Why One is So Weak
HOW TO OVERCOME THE LANGUoR
 OF THE WARM SEASON.
Winter Confinement Uses Up the Strength of the Blood and Fills
 the Body Full of Impurities.


 Why do we feel out of sorts just when the hardships of winter are over and the outdoor world begins to be attractive? We are feverish and list less and weak. while nature all about us is astir with fresh life, and the com tradiction puzzles us.
 The explanation is after all not so difficult. In winter the air of the close rooms in which we spend so much of the time does not furnish enough oxygen to the lungs to burn out the foul matter in the blood. Everyone knows the uncomfortable feelings that follow the breathing of bad air and that are cured by simply opening window for short time. The worst effects, however, are those which are stored up and do not appear at once.
 In the cold season we do not exercise as much and the skin and kidneys 'do not throw off the waste matter as freely. The whole system gets clogged just as machine does when 1t Is not cleaned with frequency. The stomach does its work feebly and gets less nourishment out of the food So there Is weakness everywhere, weak organs, weak muscles, weak nerves.
 When the warm weather comes, the system is found to- be overloaded with poisonous matter, and too feeble to throw it off. Relief can be had only through the use of remedy that will promptly and thoroughly purify and strengthen the blood, and the one best adapted for this purpose is the great blood tonic known as Dr. Williams Pink Pills.
 They acted like magic in my case" said Mrs. Wilde. T was weak and thin and could. not sleep. My stomach and nerves were out of order I can't de- scribe how miserable I really was. I dragged through six months of feeble ness, growing weaker all the time un- til I finally hadn't strength enough to leave my bed.
 '"rhen a glad day came. the day when I began to take Dr. Williams Pink Pills. They made me feel strong right away. My appetite came back. took on flesh and the color returned to my cheeks. People wondered that these pills did for me what the doctors couldn't do took only a few boxes and then I was perfectly well. If had not found this wonderful remedy l surely think that must have wasted to death. Believing firmly that these pills saved my life by the strength which they gave me at critical mo- ment, I unhesitatingly recommended them to others"
 Mrs. Clara L. Wilde lives at No. BIT Farnsworth Avenue, Detroit. Mich. Hundreds or others unite with her III testifying that Dr. Williams Pink Pills build up strength even when nature seems completely exhausted, and reach the obscure cause of troubles that pug gle the best physicians. When prompt ly used, one or two boxes will general ly give the right tone to the system.
 pr. Williams Pink Pills do not pro- duce false strength as some alcoholic preparations do. These pills do not contain a single grain of any harmful drug. They give strength that lasts. They may be obtained at any drug store.

The Russian Losses.

Tokio. June 1.-Rough estimates made of the Russian losses in the battle fought in the sea of Japan, exclusive of nearly 1000 prisoners. vary from 1000 to 90O0 It is feared that the majority perished. Calculating the complements of the sunken and eap- tured ships at upwards of 10000, 1000 men remain unaccounted for
 It is possible that the ships which escaped rescued some of the members of the crews of the less fortunate ships. Many bodies have washed ashore on the Island and on the shores of the neIRhboring coasts near the scene of the battle.
