THE WHITE PLAGUE
SYSTEMATIC WARFARE WAeED
TO WIPE OUT CONSUMPTION.
Warning That lntemperanee Increases
the Liability to Contract Disease
NEGLECTED Colds a Prolific
Source.

Organized effort Is now being made
throughout the United Stated to fight
consumption. A warning is given
against Incorporate habits. which in
rease the liability to consumption,
while splitting is public places is de-
%precated, as the disease is frequently
contracted from dried sputum.
Colds should not be neglected, as
they leave the lungs in a peculiarly
receptive condition for the tuburcu-
lar germ. The following simple for
mula will break up a cold in twenty
four hours. A leading authority on
lung trouble says that when pre-
pared from pure ingredients, it will
cure any cough that is durable.
Take half ounce Virgin Oil Of Pine
(Pure); two ounces ~glycerine and
half pint good whisky. Shake we'll
and use in %teaspoonful doses every
four hours.
The ingredients can be secured
from any good prescription druggist
at small cost, and to avoid substitution
should be purchased separately and
mixed in your own home.
Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) is put
up in half-ounce walls for dispensing.
Each vial is securely sealed in a
round wooden case, with engraved
wrapper, with the name-Vlrgin Oil
Of Pine (Pure), prepared only by
Leach Chemical Co., Cincinnati, o.
plainly printed thereon. There are
many rank limitations of Virgin Oil of
Pine (Pure), which are put out under
various names, such as Concentrated
Oil of Pine, Pine Balsam, etc. Never
accept these as a substitute for the
Pure Virgin Oil of Pine, as they will
invariably produce nausea and never
effect the desired result.

NERVOUS HEADACHES
Or. Williams Pink Pills viii Cure
Most Cases and Should Interest
Every Sufferer.

Nobody who has not endured the
suffering caused by nervous head
ache can realize the awful agony Of
Its victims. Worst Of all, the ordin-
airy treatment cannot be relied upon
TO cure nor even to give relief. Some
doctors will say that If a person is
subject to these headaches there is
nothing that can be done to prevent
their recurrence.
Nervous headaches, as we'll as neu-
ralgia, are caused by lack of nutrition
the erv are starved. The only
way to feed the nerves is through the
blood and 1t is in this way that DR..
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 head
aches, which would come on me every
Ave or six weeks and continue for
several days. The pain was so severe
that I would be obliged to go to bed
for three or four days each time. 1t
was particularly intense over my right
eye. l tried medicines but got no re-
lief. l mad no appetite and when
the headache passed away l felt as If
| had been sick for a month. My
blood was thin and I was pale, weak
and reduced in weight.
II read about DR.. Williams Pink
Pills in a paper and decided to try
them. l first noticed that they be-
gan to give me an appetite and I
commenced to gain in weight and
color. My headaches stopped and
have not returned and l have lever
Ielt so well as l do now"

boxes $3.50, by the DR.. Williams Medl-
