complete. Substantial brick and frame

HOW DEBILITY SHOW.
AND WHY DIR. WILLIAMS PINK
PILLS ARE A SPECIFIC FOR IT.
a Case In WATERFOWL in which a Pale,
weak Girl Was Made Strong
and Well.

It frequently happens that when a
person is indisposed or suffers without
there appearing to be any disease to
which the decline in health can be at
tributed, that the term general debility
is used to describe the condition. Peo-
pie so afflicted are generally not acute
" sick nor are they well and the re-
suit is a long period of unhappiness
during which the patient drags
through the duties of the day and
losses restlessly by night.
The symptoms of general debility
vary according to the cause, but weak
ness is always present a tendency to
perspire and fatigue easily, ringing in
the ears, sometimes black spots pass
ing before the eyes, weak back, YER
tigo, wakefulness caused by inability
to stop thinking, and unfreshing
sleep. The cause of the trouble may
be some drain on the system or it
may be mental or physical oVerwork
sometimes insufficient nutrition due to
digestive disturbance. In the latter
case there is generally q loss of ap-
petite and a coated tongue as well
as general languor and debility.
Miss Lulu NJ. Metzger. a stenog-
rapher, living at II Mill street. Water
town, n. Y. suffered for over a year
from general debility. 1T was caused
by over study" she says, "and I had
no ambition, didn't want to go any
where, my food didn't taste good,
was run down, nfeless and Istless.
took medicines but they failed to help
me. Finally friends recommended Dr.
Williams Pink Pills to my mother
and she got some for me. I took
them for some time and was entirely
cured and have had no return of the
trouble"
The mother, Mrs. George Metzger
is enthusiastic in her praise of Dr.
Williams Pink Pills. and says that
they are her favorite family remedy.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills cure de-
biljty because they actually make new
red. rich blood. and as the blood car
ries nourishment to all the organs
and tissues of the body, nerves as we'll
as muscles, the new blood stimulates
the organs to do the work that nature
expects of them and normal health
follows. AS the stomach is toned up
indigestion disappears and greater
nourishment is derived from the food.
The nerves are revitalized and refresh
ing sleep is obtained. Not only is this
tonic treatment sufficient to cure de-
bility but many severe disorders of the
blood and nerves have yielded to its
curative action. Fresh air, sufficient
exercise and nourishing food greatly
assist the pills in effecting cures in all
cases of debility.
The pills are sold by all druggists

of price, so cents per box. six boxes

A DYNAMITE CAP
ExplOdes in the Trousers Pocket

Shovel Caused 1t.
HEWILL PROBABLY DIE
Vim. Haughey ThoughtIessly
Picks Dangerous Article Up.
His Widowed Mother at Wichita
Is Sent For.
HEWILL PROBABLYDIE

lola, Kan. June s.-The Register
says:
VIM. Haughey. a young man 1S
years old, came near meeting death
at the lola Portland Cement company
works this morning at 8 o'clock by
having a dynamite cap explode in his
trousers pocket Haughey had gone
to work at the plant this morning for
the first time. He had previously
been in the employ OF the Travis
Lumber company in Bassett. This
morning when he arrived at the plant
he found dynamite cap near the
works which some the blasting force
had dropped and put it in his left
pocket.
About 8 O'Clock he started to leave
the room in which he was working TO
get a drink when the explosion fol-
lowing. making a big wound in the
femoral region, decorating the muscles
and flesh badly. The wound bled
very profusely Haughey's left hand
was hanging IN the natural downward
position when the explosion came and
all the fingers were badly injured.
Immediately after the accident hap
pened the ambulance was called and
Haughey was taken to the Allen Coun-
ty hospital where the physicians
dressed his wounds and have remained
in a very critical condition although
he has Il chance for recovery.
The force of the cap exploded in
such a manner that the femoral ar
terry was exposed. Had this artery
been torn he would have bled to
death in a very short time.
Haughey has been in the city sew
eral months. When he was first in
5ured he was asked If he had any folks
and he replied: "a widowed mother
at Wichita, rural route number seven. =
His mother has been sent for.
It appears that the cap was ex-
ploded by coming in contact with a
shovel which Haughey was using in
his work in the sack room of the lola
Portland. Haughey also had a knife
in his pocket and one theory is that
the cap was lying against the knife
when struck by the shovel. exploding
it A man who is familiar with the
caps today said that it was the theory
that it took a seventy-pound blow to
explode one of them, but it seems like
~ that this cap was exploded with
much less force.
Word comes from the hospital that
Mr.. Haughey is in a very weak condt-
ton and may not recover
