Hollow Glass Bricks

The demand for hollow bricks and
building blocks for house construction
has induced glass manufacturers to
put hollow glass bricks on the market,
and they promise to be used extensive
ly for novel and artistic effects, says
the Building Magazine. The first glass
bricks, being sold. proved failure on
account of their cost, but the hollow
glass bricks can be made at a much
less expense. They are lighter and
stronger than clay bricks and are such
excellent nonconductors that walls
built of them are proof against damp
ness, sound, heat and cold. The bricks
are sealed Theoretically when hot and
are placed in walls with colorlcss
mortar made of special glass The
bonding strength OF the glass mortar is
almost as great as the bricks them
selves.

AWFUL NEURALGIA
Pain Turned This Woman's Hair.
White but She Was Cured by
Dr., Williams, Pink Pills

Do not sock relief from suffering
simply, but free your system from the;
disease which Is the cause Of your
suffering. That is the message which;
a former victim Of neuralgia sends to-,
those who are still in its grasp. Hot
applications, powders that deaden the
senses and others that reduce the
heart action may cause temporary re-
lief but the pain is sure to return WITH
greater intensity.
Mrs. Evelyn Creusere, who has a
beautiful home at S11 Boulevard
West. Detroit, Mich, suffered for
years with neuralgia until she tried
this tonic treatment. She says:
my trouble began about six years
ago and I did not rest as I should
have, but kept up about my many
duties. After time I became so
weak / could not do any work at all.
I had severe backaches and such
dreadful headaches in the back part
and top Of my head. My eyes were
easily tired and at times I saw black
spots before them. I consulted sew
eral doctors but without the slightest
benefit. The pains were so intense
that my hair turned white.
II lost continually in weight and
strength and was almost in despair
when a friend recommended DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills I tried them &C
cording to directions and soon began
to feel relief. At the end Of three
months I had gained ten pounds in
weight and had no more trouble VITA
