Nervous headaches, as well as neu-
ralgia, are caused by lack Of nutrition

way to feed the nerves is through the

Williams Pink Pills have accom-
plished SO many remarkable cures.
Mrs. Addie Merrill, Of 80 Union
Street, Auburn, Me-, says: For
years l suffered from nervous mead
aches, which would come on me every
FIVE or six weeks and continue for
several days. The pain was SO severe

FEARFUL BURNING SORES.
Boy in Misery II Years-Eczema In
Rough Scales, Itching and In
Manufactured by Cutieura.

u wish TO inform you that your
wonderful Cutieura has put a stop to
twelve years Of misery ] passed with
my son, AS an infant | noticed on
his body a red spot and treated same
with different remedies for about five
years, but when the spot began to
get larger / put him under the care
of doctors. Under their treatment the
disease spread to four different parts
of his body. The longer the doctors
treated him the worse 1t became. Dur
ing the day 1t would get rough and
form like scales. At night it would
be cracked, infiamed, and badly swol-
len. with terrible burning and itch
ing. When | think OF his suffering,
1t nearly breaks my heart. His
screams could be heard downstairs.
The suffering of my son made me
full of misery, / had no ambition to
work, to eat, nor could l sleep.
One doctor told me that my sons
eczema was incurable, and gave it up
for a bad job. One evening saw an
article in the paper about the wonder
full Cuticura and decided to give it a
trial tell you that Cuticura Ointment
is worth its weight in gold, and when
! had used the first box Of Ointment
there was 8 great improvement, and
by the time | had used the second set
of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint-
ment, and Cuticura Resolvent, my
child was cured. He is now twelve
years old, and his skin is as fine

Arrive From Factory

The new type of street cars just b.

company's shops on Fifth avenue, will
be put in service next week. the first
ones being put on the Long View line
in this city, and the later ones on tn ;
Davenport hill lines. The cars are
finished and ready for service with the
exception of placing the brake handles
in position. These have not arrived
from the factory, but are expected
Monday. and as soon as it is possible
to put them on cars the new rolling
stock will go into service. The cas-
are built onsa style similar TO the long
double truck cars, but are not so long
and have only one truck. They are a
great improvement over any of the
small cars now in operation.
