WEAK STOMACH
AND SICK HEADACHE CURED BY
DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
Another Triumph for the Tonic Treat
ment for Disorders Of the
Digestive system.

The symptoms of stomach trouble
vary. Some victims have rnvenous
appetite, others loathe the sight Of food.
Often there is feeling as Of weight on
the chest, full feeling in the throat.
Sometimes the gas presses on the heart
and leads the sufferer to think he has
henrt disease. Sick headache is a fire.
quent and distressing symptom.
A weak stomach needs a digestive
tonic and that there is no better tonic
for this purpose than DR. Williams Pink
Pills IS shown by the statement Of Mr..
A. G. Merrill, mining man, of Oneals,
Calf, veteran of Battalion c, Third
U. s. Regular Infantry.

If you want good health you must have

all common diseases, like an@mia
rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, ST.

debility, general weakness, paralysis,

Treating Wrong Disease.

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine,
one from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney
disease. another from nervous exhaustion
or prOstra ton, another with pain here and
there, and in this way they all present
alike to themselves and their easy-going
and Indifferent or oyer-busy doctor sep
arate and distinct diseases, for which he,
assuming them to be such, prescribes his
pills and poti0ns. In reality, they are all
only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease The physician, ignorant Of the
cause OF suffering, encourages this prac-
tee until large bills are made. The suf-
fering patient gets no better, but probably
worse, by reason Of the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent complications.
A proper medicine Ike DR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. directed TO the cause
would have entirely removed the disease,
thereby dispeling all those distressing
symptoms, aud instituting comfort in
stead OF prolonged misery. 1t has been
well said, that "a disease known Is half
cured"
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a
scientific medicine. carefully devised by
an experienced and skillful physician,
and adapted to woman's delicate system.
1t Is made of native medicinal roots and
Is perfectly harmless in It's effects IN any

Lady Blessington did not always
meet with gratitude from some whose
position at last enabled them to serve
her. She sheltered In her London home
Louis Napoleon after he had escaped
from his prison In Ham. After Louis
Napoleon became president of the
French republic he seems to have
turned the cold shoulder on Lady
Blesslngton and Count D'Orsay when
they approached him in Paris. There
was a story going at the time, for the
accuracy Of which we certainly will
not vouch, but which appeared In sew
eral of the London papers. Shortly be-
fore Lady Blessington's death she met,
so the story goes, the president driving
In the Champs Elysees. He stopped
his carriage, she stopped hers. and they
conversed for a few minutes. His
manner seemed to her determinedly
chilly. do you stay long in PARISH"
he asked as he was about to drive on.
