Earninas of NoxeIista.

Authors earn much less in France
than in England. The late Sir Walter
Besant ten years ago estimated that
there were SO novelists in England
who earned upward of a thousand a
year. There are now probably nearer
hundred and fifty; while in France
there are almost certainly not more
than so who make living at all. An
English novelist of standing will re-
ceive eighteerpence on every copy of
book sold. Some novelists receive
two shillings. Emile Zola, who touched
high water mark in France, got a
franc, which is rather less than ten
pence. Seven pence halfpenny is
considered excellent pay, and four
pence and fivepence are common.

HOW DEBILITY SHOWS
And Why DR.. Williams Pink Pills
Are Specific for Dangerous
PHYSICAL Declines,

The symptoms of general debility vary
according to the cause but weakness is
always present, a tendency to perspire
and fatigue easily, ringing i'll the ears,
sometimes black spots passing before
the eyes, weak back, vertigo, wakeful-
ness caused by inability tc stop thinking,
and unrefreshing sleep. The cause of
the trouble may be some drain on the
system or it may be mental or physical
overwork, sometimes Insufficient nutri-
ton due to digestive disturbance. In
the latter case there is generallya loss of
appetite and Il coated tongue as well as
general languor and debility.
Miss Lula NJ. Metzger, n stenographer,
living at II Mill street, Watertown, n. Y,
suffered for over n year from general
debility. 'It was caused by overstudy, :"
she says, land had no ambition, diCln t
want to go anywhere, my food didn t
taste good, was run down, lifeless and
listless l took medicines but they failed
to help me. Finally friends recon-
mended DIR. Williams Pink Pills to my
mother and she got some for me. 1 took
them for some time and was entirely
cured and have had 10 return of the
trouble"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills cure debility
because they actually make new, red
rich blood, and as the blood carries
nourishment to all the organs and tissues
of the body, nerves as well as muscles,
the new blood stimulates the organs to
do the work that nature expects of them
and normal health follows. Not only
is this treatment sufficient to cure de-
bility but many severe nervous disorders
US well.
! The pills are sold by all druggists, or
will be sent postpaid, on receipt of price,
| so cents per box, six boxes $3.50, by the
