Iron In the System.

1t is often said that there is iron
enough in the system of an ordinary
man to make a plowshare, The state
ment is exceedingly wide Of the truth.
The amount of iron contained in the
animal tissues of man weighing $50
pounds is about 100 grains, or quar-
ter of an ounce Yet so important is
even this small amount to the sys-

Shetland Wool.

A curious historical legend is con-
nected with Shetland WOOL Over 800
years ago man-of-war belonging to
the Spanish armada was wrecked on
one of the islands. The sailors who
escaped taught the natives to make
brilliant dyes from roots which they
found, resembling those used for like
purposes in Spain. Those persons who
now wear bright Shetland knit "com-
forters" are unconsciously wearing me-
mentOs of the "invincible'' armada.

Symptoms Of General
 Debility.
And A Tonic Treatment Which Has Effected Many Cures in Cases as Stub
 born as Mir Slater'S.

The symptoms of general debility vary according to the cause but weak ness is always present, a tendency to perspire and fatigue easily. ringing in the ears, sometimes black spots pass ing before the eyes, weak back, yer tigo, wakefulness caused by inability to stop thinking. and unrefreshing sleep. The cause of the trouble may be some drain on the system or it may be mental or physical ov erwork, some times insufficient nutrition due to di- gestive disturbance. In the latter case there is generally loss of appeti te and coated tongue as well as general languor and debility.
 MT Fred T. Slater, of 16 Hudson street, Lestersire, N. Y.. an operator in shoe factory, says:
 ''I had been employed over twenty years in factories and been in good health until recently, when I sudden ly became run down until too late to avoid some months of sickness
 ..There was a bad taste in my mouth and my appetite was poor. My sleep was disturbed by all kinds of dreams and had heavy night sweats. Ev cry morning I woke up dizzy, list less and weak. My blood was in bad shape for my face and body were covered with pimples and blotches. | My bowels were irregular and l was troubled by hard headaches, shortness of breath and nausea. There were awful pains across my back, my kid neys were weak and the secretion ire qnent and highly colored. My com plexion was sallow and I grew nervous and irritable. It was impossible to do much work and I was often confined | to bed for two or three days.
 .'Soon after I became sick I called a doctor- who gave me something for my bowels and when 1 got no better he be gan to change the medicine. When had been sick about six months, my father advised me to give up all other medicine and try Dr Williams Pink Pills. I began to feel stronger before I had taken many boxes and the va rious symptoms gradually disappeared I was not cured all at once. but after a thorough treatment I am in perfect health I think Pink Pills are a won derful remedy.
