paper is applied and SO on
The apparatus is set SO as to give
2 certain number of prints from a
given negative and each printing
operation causes a ratchet wheel to
advance one point. AT the end of the
printing an electric bell is rung by the
ratchet device. BY means of a rheo

A CURE FOR DEBILITY
Or. WiIliams' Pink Pills A Reliable
Remedy for the Weak. AilinS
and BloodleSs.

When the body is weak and the blood
thin it is sometimes difficult to find the
cause unless wasting illness has pre-
ceded, or the sufferer happens to be a
girl OH the verge of womanhood.
Obscure influences, something un-
healthful i'll one S surroundings or work,
may lead to slow inlpoverishment of
the blood and III enfeeblement of the
whole body. When n serious stage has
been reached there seems to be nothing
that will account for it.
Mr.. G. f. Legg. of Upton, W. Va,
has found II successful method of treat
ing weakness and bloodlessness. He
says:
Il used DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
weakness caused by n lingering malarial
fever that began in the spring of 1896.
The worst effects of this were indiges-
ton and bad state of my blood. Twas

Indicate "waspy" feeling towards us

A frank public discussion Of the sub
ject is quite agreeable to us and can
certainly do no harm; on the contrary
when all the facts on both sides of any
question are spread before the people
they can thereupon decide and act in
telligently.
Give the people plain facts and they
will take care Of themselves.

facts are brought clearly before the

A number Of coffee importers and

boom coffee and stop the use Of Pos
tum Food Coffee ard in their newspa-
per statements undertake to deceive
by false assertions.
Their first Is that coffee is not harm

We assert that one in every three
coffee users has some form of incipi-
ent or chronic disease: realize for one
moment what a terrible menace to a
nation of civilized people. when one
kind of beverage cripples the energies
and health of one third the people who
use 1t.
We make the assertion advisedly
and suggest that the reader secure his
own proof by personal inquiry among
coffee users.

they keep free from any sort Of aches

percentage and will very naturally
