BLOOD GETS SOUR.
Every Family Should Make Up This
Home Mixture and Take Now.

At this time of year, says a we'll
known authority, the Kidneys become
weak, clogged and inactive, failing to
filter out the poisons and acids, which
sour the blood, causing not only facial
and bodily eruptions, but the worst
forms of Rheumatism, Nervous and
Stomach troubles, Backache and pain
full, annoying Urinary Affections.
It is worth anyone's time now to
get from some good prescription phar-
macy the following ingredients: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com.
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking we'll in a bot
tie and take in teaspoonful doses after
your meals and at bedtime.
This simple homemade mixture will
force the Kidneys to normal, healthy
action, so they will filter and strain all
uric acid and poisonous waste matter
from the blood, and expel this in the
urine, at the same time restoring the
full blood count'-that is, IS per cent
red blood corpuscles-which is abso-
lutely indispensable to perfect health:

noon, to end Monday afternoon at the
grave, which is in his front yard.
After the coffin, which was a square
box had been made, the body was
dressed in moccasins and leggings,
much beaded, being left bare from the
waist up, except for much paint of
many colors. A 2x4 scantling was
placed across the top Of the box, on
which the chin rested to keep the
body upright The funeral*feast was
prepared Sunday and consisted of two
hogs and ten turkeys cooked together,
with whole corn boiled with it.
"Squaw bread was also made in large
quantities and other delicacies fur
nished were pies, cake, canned black
berries, dried peaches, tea and coffee.
This feast was spread upon the floor
and all present, including the white
people, were expected to partake of it.
A long grace or prayer was said be-
fore eating and the peace pipe was
smoked. The first feast was held on
Sunday and another one at the house
Monday, followed by one at the
grave. Monday afternoon the box con-

owing to modern methods of living
not one woman in a thousand ap-

This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in deranged
condition or she is -predisposed to

burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches,
backaches, melancholia, dread of i'm
pending evil, palpitation of the heart,
irregularities, constipation and dizzi-
ness are promptly needed by intel
igent women who are approaching
the period of life when this gre a t
change may be expected.

WEIGHT: AND HEALTH.
THIN. NERVOUS PEOPLE NEED
THE TONIC TREATMENT.
This Woman Took Or. Williams PINK
Pills, Gained Thirty Pounds and
Has Seen Well Ever Since.

How many wonderland men too
are suffering from q general decline in
health which the ordinary remedies
seem unable to check! How many hus.
bands see their wives wasting away,
steadily losing health and beauty, and
are powerless to help! Consumption
and other germ diseases find in these
debllltated systems easy prey, for the
lowered vitality is unequal to the task Of
fighting off the Infection of these diseases
to which most Of Us are almost daily ex.
posed.
The symptoms indicating the decline
which may have results so fatal could
scarcely be better described than in the
statement of Mrs. William Manley, Of
80 Court street, Utica, N. Y. Her case
is typical one. She says:
"F'or six monthsafter the birth of my
baby, 1 suffered from sick, dizzy head
aches, which seemed like a rush Of
blood to my forehead, just back of my
eyes. Some days they twitched so
could hardly see and black spots f1oated
before them. The least exertion brought
on this sickness. My appetite was poor
and was often sick to my stomach.

only 50 pounds.
lone day when at the drug store to
get headache powders decided to try
DIR. Williams Pink Pills instead. +
soon noticed that my headache was dis
appearing and my nerves gradually
grew stronger. The pills gave me q
hearty appetite and I now weigh over
130pounds. believe the pills to be the
best tonic and builder woman can take,
as they certainly helped me when my
condition was critical and I have never
been seriously i'll since''
The great value of Dr. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion of the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
nerves are strengthened, every organ is
stimulated to do it's work.
If you are Ill and the treatment you
are taking does not cure you, write for

have done in similar cases.
