DR.. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs

good, red blood. When the blood is red
and healthy there can be no debility
The relation between the blood and
nervous system is such that the pills
have a very decided action upon the
nerves and they have cured many severe
nervous disorders, such as partial pa.

dance, that have not yielded to ordinary
treatment. Their double action, on the

The Battle of Redonda.

Not far from st. Thomas, a matter of
perhaps a hundred miles, was fought
the most wonderful naval battle in all
history. The Dutch admiral detected
the enemy In the early morning, when
the sea was covered with thick mist,
and his guns opened fire at once with
out warning. The fire was returned
with interest, the ocean fairly CULVER
ing with spasms caused by the shock
of frequent discharges. Somehow or
other the enemys shots which sound
ed like q bombardment, seemed to fall
short or go wide of the mark, for not
even a splash of a ball was heard, and
the Dutch ships remained unscathed.
On the other hand, the Dutch could not
see the terrible execution their guns
were doing until nearly the middle Of
the forenoon, when the fog lifted, re-
yealing to their astonlshed gaze not the
vessels of the enemy, but great rock
standing out of the sea. They had been
firing at it for five hours, and the sound
of the return shots they heard was the
echo from the solid wall of granite.
They named the place Redonda, which
means sent. rolled or driven back, and
Redonda 1t Is to this day.
