Beautiful, Beautifv, World.

Strolled a lover and a maid
Where the springtime sunlight played
On the ripping rivers crest,
On the robins crimson breast!
Strolled the maiden, strolled the man
Where the buds the zephyrs fan;
Deep into the joyous wood;
Wandered far-and understood!
Sweet the flowers petal shed
Incense from their mellow bed!
Carolled birds among the trees.
Droning, softly, buzzed the bees!
But the lover saw nor heard
Buds a-bloom or song of bird!
In her cheeks were roses red
Fairer than the woodland bred!
Sweet within her snow-white threat
Dwelt a soft, melodious note,
Deeply hidden in her eyes
Was a glimpse of Paradise!
Round about her waist his arm
Shielded her from woodland harm!
Bees from flower to flower slipped
But twas heaven that he slipped!

NERVOUS DEBILITY
a Scranton Woman Tells How Or.
Williams Pink Pills Made Her
Well and Strono.

Nervous debility is the common name
fog what the doctors term neurasthenia.
1t is characterized by mental depression,
fits of the ''blues, "or melancholy, loss
of energy and spirits. The patients ewes
BECOME dull, the pink fades from the
cheeks, the memory becomes defective so
that it is difficult to recall dates and
names atwill. Some of tlcse symptoms
only may be present or all of them. The
remedy lies in toning up the nervous
system and there rs no medicine better
adapted for this purpose than DR..
Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. Jane J. Davies, of No. 314 War
rem street, Scranton, Pa, says: "Some
years ago became greatly reduced in
health and strength and my nervous
system became SO debilitated that felt
'wretched. Icould not rest or sleep well
at night and woke up as weary and
languid in the morning as / was when I
went to bed. My head ached in the
morning and often there was pain in
my right side which was worse when I
cat down. My nerves were on edge all
the time, every little noise bothered me
and was generally miserable. Then
decided to try DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, as my husband had taken
them with good results, and they did
wonders for me. Now I have no more
pain ia my side, no more headaches,
sleep wen and feel strong and able tx
do my work"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs
Davies and they can do just as mucl
