BABY'S FACE IN

Awful Humor Was Eating Away Face

Three Doctors Tried to Help
Little Sufferer But She Grew
Worse-After Spending Many
Dollars On Doctors and Medicine
CUTICURA CURES IN TWO
WEEKS AT COST OF 75c.

"I feel it my duty to parents of other

three doctors, they all claimed they could
help her, but she continued to grow
worse. Her body was a mass of sores,
and her little face was being eaten

would drop off. Neighbors advised me
to get Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and
before had used half of the cake Of
Soap and box of Ointment the sores had
all healed, and my little ones face and
body were as clear as newborn babes.

THE CALL OF
THE BLOOD
IN DEBILITY
DR.. Williams Pink Pills Will
Prevent Most Cases and Has
Cured Even Those That
StubbOrnIy Resisted
Ordinary Treat
ment.

There are few cases of general debil-
lty that could not have been prevented.
! There is no hidden cause for its pres
ence nor is it sudden in its attack. Any
person, who is over-worked or subject
to any great worry or excitement or
undergoes some long-continued strain
on the body, is liable to become debil-
itated unless the blood is kept pure and
rich. Such unusual conditions call for
more nourishment than the blood can
supply and paleness, headaches, poor
appetite, undressing sleep, backaches,
loss of spirits and q general tired-out
feeling, which follow, are simply a call
for blood tonic and builder
Mrs. Lena May Brooks, of Prairie
Hall, Macon county, ILL.,, after several
months of suffering finally found the
right tonic in DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
She says:
For several months after the birth
of my baby, I suffered terribly from a
general breakdown in health. I was in
bed for three months and after that
was able to be up only part of the
time. 1 was sick all over, being pale,
weak and thin. My appetite was gone
and my head ached most of the time.
Oftentimes there seemed to be rush
of blood to my head and I would faint
away. I was very nervous and was
not strong enough to do any work
LAS the treatment I was taking did
not help me, began to take DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills, which a friend said
had helped her. After taking a few
boxes, I began to get well rapidly. I
continued using them for time and
am now as we'll and strong as ever in
my life
The value of DIR. Williams Pink Pills
in general debility lies in their direct
response to the needs of the blood. Their
work is to make new blood. That they
do this we'll is shown by the gradual
of the symptoms and the
return of color and health. They lay
the foundation for permanent health in
the future. l-
For the same reason these pills have
cured anaemia, after-effects of the grip
and fevers, rheuma tism, indigestion,
and nervousness, dizziness, neuralgia,
St. Vitus dance and even partial para
lysis and locomotor ataxia.
A valuable booklet, Diseases of the
Blood'' containing fuller information
a bout rheumatism and other diseases of
the blood will be sent free upon request.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, will be sent, postpaid,
on receipt of price, so cents per box, six
boxes for $50, by the DR.. Williams

wages and general prosperity that
have been sent to the old country by
relatives and friends. Besides the
new immigration law will go into eff
feet on July LIST, and make it harder
for laborers to enter the country. so
there is a rush to get in before the
new barriers are raised.
