NERVOUS DEBILITY.

DepIorable Condition Cured by DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills. Scranton Woman
Tells How She was Made Well and Strong.
Nervous debility is the common name for
what the doctors term neuraSthenIa. 1t is
cha racterized by mental depression, fits Of
the "blues," or melancholy, loss of energy
and spirits. The patients eyes become dull,
the pink fades from the cheek, the memory
becomes defe Give so that it is difficult to re-
call dates and names at will. Some of the
symptoms only may be present or all of
them The remedy lies in toning up the
nervous system and there is no remedy
better adapted for this than Dr.. Williams
Pink Pills
Mrs. Jane j. Davies of No. sl4 Warren
street, Scranton, Pa, says: ''Some years
ago | became greatly reduced in health and
strength and my nervous system became so
debiltated that | felt wretched. | could
not rest or sleep well at night and woke up
as weary and languid in the morning as |
was when l went to bed. My head ached
in the morning and often there was pain
in my right side which was worse when l
sat down My nerves were on edge all the
time. every little noise bothered me and |
was generally miserable.
"Then | decided to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, as my husband had
taken them with good results, and they did
wonders for me. Now / have no more pains
in my side, no more headaches, l sleep well
and feel strong and able to do my wofk.'
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are the best
nerve tonic because they convey nourlSh
ment to the nerves in the only way that is
in accord with the plan of nature-through
the blood These pills cured Mrs. Davies
and they can do just as much for every
pale, weak, aling man or woman who is
SHINING into a homeless decline They
strike straight at the root of all common
diseases caused by poor and impoverished
blood such as an@mia, Indigestion, bilious
ness, headaches, backaches, rheumatism,
neuralgia, nervousness and even more seri
Gus mel vous disorders.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists or will be sent, postpaid, on re-
ceipt of price, so cents per box, six boxes
for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams Medicine Co.,

brighter and larger life, leaving many sad

is everything green at this season.
GREEN FITTINGS AND FURNISHINGS.
The best decorators here for the hand
soonest houses make great use of green
furnishings. Prairie grass furniture
known as "Crex" is especially liked be-
cause of it's beautiful fadeless green
coloring and generally handsome sub
stantial appearance. This makes an
irresistible appeal to the intelligent
woman who wants furniture that is
not only artistic and handsome for her
outdoor living room but will be equally
available for use the year round in the
library, sitting room or parlor, since its
natural grass color harmonlzes with any
surroundings.
NEW SHAPES.
Swinging seats, settles without legs
hung by strong chains from the ceiling,
come in several sizes, and are smartly
and as hall seats where there is room
for them. Woven lounging chairs with
cushions of leather or other materials
broad armed writing chairs and chairs
with side pockets for magazines, or for
fancy work are all attractive and look
far more expensive than their cost.
A NOVEL JARDINIERE.
A novel jardinere seen on the porch
of suburban home has cross section
of an elm tree, followed to hold flow
er pot. The flower in this was hand
some begonia, and an added charm to
the pretty arrangement was lent by the
knowledge that the elm came from
"ElmwoOd." the homestead of the poet
James Russell Lowell in Cambridge,
Mass.
HANGING VASES AND BONES.
Where the arrangement can be made
nothing is prettier than boxes of thrifty
plants resting on the veranda railing,
and. the hanging vases that are to be
had at every store where Oriental goods
are kept are particularly good for hold
ing odd punches of field flowers, or vines
that grow well in water. AS rule the
best decorators select receptacles for
flowers of neutral colors, though an oc-
casional use is made of strong colorings
for iardinieres that are intended to hold
palms or other foliage plants.
Jars of Japanese bronze or OF copper
or brass make handsome and much APP
preciated wedding presents, and have
the merit of not being so popular
form of gift that there are apt to be
MANY duplicates. Teak wood stands
are also desirable gifts TOR such occa-
SiOns.
