FOR NERVOUS PEOPLE
Or. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS THE
BEST NERVE TONIC.
A Michigan Mother Preserved to Her
Family by This Wonderful
Remedy.

When the blood is impoverished the
nerves starve and neuralgia or something
more serious swiftly follows. Nervous
people are generally pale people. By
supplying through the blood those vital
elements that the nerves need, DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People have
performed those remarkable cures that
make it impossible for any nervous suf-
ferer to neglect them with justice to
himself.
A recent case is that OF Mrs. Peter
Morrissette, of No 3l5 Eleventh street,
Alpena, Mich, who writes as follows !:
Ny trouble started with childbirth.
After one of my children was born had
kind of paralysis. | was very weak
and my mouth was little crooked. l
was always tired and was 80 nervous
that could not bear to hear dog bark
or bell ring-even the little bird Ill its
cage would annoy me. My heart fut-
tered a great deal and Ind dizzy spells
| was not able to be left alone.
my doctor gave me different kinds Of
medicine, changing it several times
help me he said he did not understand
my case. This was three years ago and
was very much discouraged, when my
brother, who had taken DIR. Williams
Pink Pills, recommended them to me. l
tried them and noticed a change for the
better when l was taking the second box.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills cured me and |
have been well ever since. | now do all
my own Homework, sewing and wash
ing for seven of us. have recommended
the pills to a number Of people and am
very glad to make this statement"
The fact that DIR. Williams Pink Pills
cured this stubborn case. rs well as others
more severe, leaves no doubt that they
will cure lesser troubles arising from dis
ordered nerves and lack Of nerve force.
They have also cured diseases caused by
impure or impoverished blood such as
rheumatism, anamia and after effects
OF the grip.
All druggists sell DR. Williams Pink
Pills or the remedy Will be mailed, post
paid, on receipt Of price, 30 cents per
box, six boxes for 81 80, by the DIR. Will
liams Medicine Co., Schenectady, n. Y.

DODGES DIFFICULTY.
The Drydock Has Troubles of Its
Own In It's Cruise to
Philippines.

1t has become known, although not
given ont officially. that the drydock
Dewey has been lodging difficulties
Ell route 70 the Philippines. The dry
dock broke loose two or three times
from the tow and was only recovered
with considerable difficulty. THIS is
said 10 have been due 20 the fssten-
inas on the pontoon parts Of the dry
dock which proved weak.
The dispatch did not say whether
the stanei.ions to which the yoke Of
the hawser was fastened had pulled out
or merely been loosened. In the latter
case there would have been consider
able trouble in keeping the pontoon
sides from swapping, as such disas
ter would almost certainly have caused
a leak. These sides ride in the water
lighter than the main section and
affording a great, hold fer the wind
aud the waves, present a comparatively
greater resistance than main section
1t was feared at the start of the tow
that these fastenings would not prove
secure, h1t they were stayed from
within and made as staunch as posi-
bic in the time given. The principal
apprehension is that future strains
may work greater damage. The de-
partmeat is also beginning TO realize
that the towing Of the dock and in
ciental expenses, particularly the lat.
ter, may pile up into dismaying sum,
and the prospect is not made any the
more alluring by the attitude which
the House Naval Affairs Committee
has recently assumed in pairing down
every possible expenditure aud hold
ing each bureau of the department
strictly responsible for any deficiency
it may incur.
So far as the safe delivery of the
dock is concerned, the main danger
feared by the navy is the passage from
Alden 10 Manila Unlike the trade
winds, the monsoous are variable in
their force and likely 20 put sudden
strains upon the hawser and the tow
ing machines sufficient TO disrupt the
arrangement Then they fear the
close proximity of land Throughout the
passage. Should she break loose, there
is danger that there will not be
enough leeway in which to pick her
up. It is said that the passage around
the Cape could not have occupied more
than five days longer at the outside,
and that it would have been in many
respects far safer. The United States
protected cruiser Tacoma, Commander
j. L. Smith, sailed yesterday from
Norfolk with additional towing Rppa-
ratus TO join the drydook Dewey at
the Canary Islands. The Tacoma will
go with the drydock to Gibraltar.
