NERVOUS COLLAPSE
Sinking Spells, Headaches and

Williams Pink Pills.

Mrs. Lizzie Williams, of No. 416 &C.
dar street, Quincy, ILL.,, says: Ever
since 1 had nervous prostration, about
thirteen years ago, Ihave had periodical
spells of complete exhaustion. The doc
tor said my nerves were shattered. ANY
excitement or unusual activity would
throw me into a state of lifelessness.
At the beginning my strength would
come back in a moderate time after each
attack, but the period of weakness kept
lengthening until at last l would lie
helpless as many as three hours at o
stretch. 1 had dizzy feelings, palpita-
tion of the heart, misery after eating,
hot flashes, nervous headaches, rheu-
matte pains in the back and hips. The
doctor did me so little good that I gave
up his treatment, and really feared that
my case was incurable
When l began taking DR.. Williams
Pink Pills my appetite grew keen,
my food no longer distressed me, my
nerves were quieted to a degree that 1
had not experienced for years and my
strength returned. The fainting spells
left me entirely after l had used the
third box of the pills, and my friends
say that l am looking better than / have
done for the past fifteen years"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are recon-
mended for diseases that come from I'M
poverished blood such as anRmia, rhou-
matism, debility and disorders of the
nerves such as neuralgia, nervous pros
tration and partial paralysis. They have
cured the most stubborn indigestion.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills agree with the
most delicate stomach, quiet all ner-
v%ousness, stir up every organ to do its
proper work and give strength that lasts.

Finds Comfort in Baby.

The countess was not happy-but
then Boni was born and came to com
fort her. Her husband continued his
wild extravagances until even Paris
marveled. Millions seemed to have
turned his head. The nursery for his
heir in Petit Trianon was furnished
at the expense of more than the ordi-
nary man makes in a lifetime.
In June of 1897 the income for the
yea was spent. Boni still was buy
ing. He bought from Asher Wertheim
Of London, curios for which he could
not pay, This bill later proved one of
the direct means of his downfall.
Among other things hat he wanted
was an Italian palace. He bought one
at Verona at a stupendous price. In
1t were IL ceilings by Tiepolo. and
the count wanted them transferred to
Paris. 1t was done and then-they
were sold at enormous loss.

American girl who allied her millions

Their loyalty to their mother is un-
doubted, but between America and
France they choose France. because
the older ones have been trained in
French schools, and, deeper than that,
because they have been reared in the
religion Of their father. If the choice
lies with them it will be France and
the Roman Catholic church on one

and money-on the other. The

firm, Count Boni will ask the court to
forbid the mother to take her children

Millions 70 Save Name.

Millions to Save Name.
In 1900 financial troubles were at a
climax. Castellane had openly slurred
the Goulds, especially Helen Gould.
His family openly charged that Anna
Gould was "bourgeoise." Boni was as
reckless as ever. Petit Trianon was
incomplete. Boni came to America
again to get money and failed. The
countess chateau at Dumarais was
ordered sold for debt and only an APP
peal to her family saved it. Trades
men openly insulted the Castellanes
and dunned them in public. George
and Edwin Gould gave $1,000, 600 to
save the family pride. Boni had spent
$4,000, 900, besides his wife's income,
and owed over s. 1000, 900.
In 1901 the courts took a hand to
save the fortune of the little Ameri-
can. A receiver was appointed in the
person of her brother George. The
family paid $4,000. 900 of Boni's debts
and held the countess fortune to pro-
tect her and themselves. By order of
the court the income of the Castel-
lanes was reduced from $500, 900 to
5000, 900, but they fought in court and
got the entire income.
In that year Boni fought Henri de
Roday and shot him in the leg. Also
he gave a boar hunt hat cost $4,000
for the Grand Duke Boris. He enter
tanned the king OF Portugal.
Early in 1908, when Jay, the young
est baby, was a few months old, the
countess suddenly left the count. It
was reported that they were es-
tranged, but Boni came to America
and denied this report. Also he was
charged with refusing to pay debts of
honor.
Debts were piling up again and the
Goulds were stubborn, refusing to
hand out more millions to be thrown
away.
With her three children to comfort
her and keep her busy, the countess
did not care. But in 1904 the real
trouble began, the trouble that changed
the countess and made her a woman
and a mother, instead of the reckless
follower of a more reckless husband.
