addition to the lace blouse of more

AFRAID OF PARALYSIS
A NERVOUS SUFFERER CURED
BY DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
The Medicine That Makes Rich, Red
Blood and Performs Wonders as a
Tonic for the Nerves.

Why are nervous people invariably
pale people?
The answer to that question explains
can cure nervous troubles.
1t explains why DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People are also for nervous
people.
1t is because of the intim ate relation
between the red corpusCleS in the blood
and the health Of the nerves. The
nervous system receives its nuurishmenJ
through the blood. Let the blood be-
come thin, weak and colorIess and the
nerves are starved-the victim is started
on the road that leads to nervous wreck.
Nervous people are pale people-hut the
pallOr comes first. Enrich the blood
and the nerves are stimulated and toned
up to do their part of the work of the
body. DR. Williams Pink Pills make
red blood and transform nervous, irrit-
able, alllng people into strong, energetic.
fOTceful men and women.
Mrs. Harriet f. Porter, of 20 Liberty
avenue, South Medford, Mass, says:
Il had never been well from child

Whether the mare will be bred back

year has not I understand. been fully

will not be-
I'm any event however, Lou has got
a fairly early start as a brood mare

other champion trotting mare ever
produced a foal so young. Lady Suf-
