WEIGHT AND HEALTH
THIN, NERVOUS PEOPLE NEED
THE TONIC TREATMENT.
This Woman Took Or. Williams PINK
Pills, Gained Thirty Pounds and
Has Been Well Ever Since.

How many wonderland men too
are suffering from a general decline in
health which the ordinary remedies
seem unable to check! How many hus-
bands see their wives wasting away,
steadily losing health and beauty, and
are powerless to helpl Consumption
and other germ diseases find in these
debilitated systems easy prey, for the
lowered vitality is unequal to the task of
lighting off the infection of these diseases
to which most OF us are almost daily ex-
posed.
The symptoms indicating the decline
which may have results SO fatal could
scarcely be better described than in the
statement of Mrs. William Manley, of
so Court street, Utica, N. Y. Her case
is a typical one. She says:
''For six months after the birth of my
baby, / suffered from sick, dizzy head
aches, which seemed like o rush of
blood to my forehead, just back OF my
eyes. Some days they twitohed so ]
could hardly see and black spots floated
before them. The least exertion brought
on this sickness. My appetite was poor
and / was often sick to my stomach.
"If l tried to work my feet soon be-
came swollen, paining me terribly. I
had sinking spells and grew pale and
nervous twas so thin that I weighed
only So pounds.
"One day when at the drug gtore to
get headache powders / decided to try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills instead. /
0 noticed that my headache was dis
appearing and my nerves gradually
grew stronger. The pills gave me a
hearty appetite and I now weigh over
1870 pounds. | believe the pills to be the
best tonic and builder a woman can take,
as they certainly helped me when my
condition was critical and I have never
been seriously i'll since"
The great value of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion of the
body. The stomach is toned up. the
nerves are strengthened, every organ is
stimulated to do its work.
If you are i'll and the treatment YOU
are taking does not cure you, write for
proof of what DR.. Williams Pink Pills
have done in similar cases.
Your druggist sells them or they will
be sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt of

SNIFF KISS ORIGINAL cAREss.
Ancients Did Not Understand Art Of
Oscillation, Says Professor.

Philadelphia.-The climax OF inter.
est at the recent session OF the Ameri.
can Oriental society was reached
when Prof. Hopkins Of Yale read his
paper on The Sniff Kiss in Ancient
India"
The paper was a history of the kiss
as we know it. The laarned professor
traced it from It's birth and proved
that the earliest peoples and earliest
times knew it not, That there might
be no mistake he labeled the kiss Of
to-day the genuine kiss and the
perfect kiss" Oddly enough, he finds
that the genuine kiss was invented by
a woman. The description is given
in the epic of ancient India which
treats of the science OF love.
"she laid her mouth to my mouth"
rec!tes the poet, and made a noise
which gave me pleasure"
With that discovery, said Prof. Hop
kins, grew the fashion which has
since known no abatement.
The early peoples" he continued,
knew nothing of the kiss in any form.
Had they known OF it they would
have told something of it in the mass
of records that has come down to us,
for, surely, an act which conveys such
pleasure could not have been forgot.

With the development Of the gen
uine kiss, the sniff kiss disappeared,

purpose and soon was forgotten"
