are right. There is every indication
of the presence within you Of some rep

'He prepared a bolus for the lady,
and at the same time got ready a glass
bowl. She swallowed the huge dose,
which made her cough and cough till
the tears blinded her eyes, and the
physician, bending over her, gave a

height and at the same time pumped

The First Automobile.

THE first automobile" said the
chauffeur, as ne paid his fine genially,
was made by Johann Haustack, Of
Uremberg, in 1872. It's motive power
was neither oil, steam nor electricity,
but a coiled spring.
1.-THE first steam automobile was
built in France by Cugnot in 1870. It
is still 70 be seen. 1t is one of the star
exhibits Of the ConsRyatoire des Arts

modelled after it were built by William
Murdoch, James Watt. Nathan Read
and Richard Trevethick. These are.
most OF them. In museums in London
and Birmingham.
Several steam carriages piled for
hire on the streets of London at the
beginning of the nineteenth century,
but they were SO slow, noisy and heavy
that the people did not take to them.
The first modern automobile was
built by Amadce Bollec in 1873. Bollec
exhibited his car in Vienna and in
Paris, and other men, as is always the
case, devised improvements on it. Au-
~tomobiles, by about 1890, began to APP

HOW DEBILITY SHOWS
And Why Or. Williams Pink Pills
Are a 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 III the ears,
sometimes black spots passing before
the eyes, weak back, vertigo, wakeful-
ness caused by inability to 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 generally loss Of
appetite and a coated tongue as well as
general languor and debility.
Miss Lula M, Metzger, a st~enographer,
living at II Mill street, Watertown, NY,
suffered for over a year from general
debility. at was caused by overstudy,"
she says, "and | had no ambition, didn't
want to go anywhere, my food didn't

mother and she got some for me. | took
them for some time and was entirely
cured and have had no 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
as well.
