ROMANTIC pEvoNsHlRE.
The Land Made Famous by PhiIpotts'
Novels.

Philpotts has made us familiar with
romantic Devonshire, In his fascinating
novels. 'The River" Children of the
Mist" etc. The characters are very
human; the people there drink coffee
with the same results as elsewhere. A
writer at Rock House, Orchard Hill,
Bideford. North Devon, states:
For 30 years drank coffee for
breakfast and dinner but some years
ago found that 1t was producing indi-
gestion and heartburn. and was max
ing me restless at night. These symp-
toms were followed by brain flag and
q sluggish mental condition.
when realized this, l made up my
mind to quit drinking coffee and
having read of Postum concluded to
try 1t, ! had 1t carefully made, accord
ing to directions, and found to my
agreeable surprise at the end Of
week. that | no longer suffered from
either Indigestion, heartburn, or brain
flag. and that could drink 1t at night
and secure restful and refreshing
sleep. 6@ 'lI'ls
Since that time we have entirely
discontinued the use Of the old kind of
coffee, growing fonder and fonder Of

necessary to secure this, for unless the

ranted the Inference.

Prof William Lyon Phelps Of Yale
recently told this story at New Ha'
ven's chamber of commerce banquet:
A hard drinker was told by his doctor
that he could be cured II every time
he felt that he must have drink he
would Immediately take something to
eat instead
The man followed the advice and
was cured. but the habit of asking for
food had become so fixed with him
that once he was nearly locked up as
a lunatic. He was stopping at hotel
and, hearing a great commotion in the
room next to his, he peeped over the
transom to see what the matter was.
He saw, and rushed madly down to
the office and shouted to the clerk:

NERVOUS PRoSTRATloN CURED
~ Or. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
BY Tohing up the Blood and Nerves Pa
tient Recovered Weight, Strength
and Good Spirits.

When the nervous system is broken
down from overwork, or whatever cause,
life loses its joys. Not only is the ner-
vous victim sufferer himself but he is
usually trial to the whole family.
Nervous breakdown is often gradual,
appearing at first to be merely an unu-
sual fretfulness. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills tone up the nerves in the most
direct way and not only cure minor
troubles but serious disorders as well.
Mr.. W.. w. Munroe, of Is Hazel Park,
Everett, Mass, says: about four years
ago this September I became all run
down from overwork and from confne-
ment to work during warm weather.
For two months I grew steadily worse.

appetite. My memory failed me quite
rapidly and I became in q very low
state, both physically and mentally. I
took no interest in life, neither in bust
ness nor recreation. In my position, as
foreman in large manufacturing
chemists establishment in Boston, a
good memory is absolutely essential to
success because of the immense amount
Of detail that must be carried in the head.
Il grew very desTairing, could not
bear to have people meet me and my
friends remarked on my condition.
About the middle of December friend
told me one day that he had tried DR..
Williams Pink Pills and found them

at the end of two weeks the change for
the better was remarked by friends. !
continued using the pills until was
thoroughly recovered. Iregard them as
o fine remedy and make this statement
voluntarily in gratitude for the benefit
received from them"
These pills actually make new blood
and have cured such diseases as rheu-
matisrn, nervous and general debility,
indigestion, nervous headache, neuralgia
and even partial paralysis and locomotor
ataxia As a tonic for the blood and
nerves they are unequalled.
If you are sufferer from any disor-
der Of the blood and nerves write for
proof Of what DR., Williams Pink
Pills have accomplished in cases similar
to yours. Every testimonial used by
this company is carefully investigated
before being published and is authentic.
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, or direct by mail, postpaid, on
receipt Of price, 30 cents per box, six
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams

The JOURNAL is pleased to know
that the people are again con-
corning themselves about the
condition of the public roads of
Mathews.
If the question needs agitation
6and surely the r0adS need some
thing) we know nothing better
calculated to agitate it thaa a
trip over the highways Of our
comfy in their present condition.
In fact. such a trip will not only
-agitate the question, but will
more than agitate anybody who
snakes the trip.
However, there is but one way
that any permanent improve
ment in our roads can be made
and that is By spending the money
Tor draining and grading them.
and then for some material 10
make proper roadbed.
We are not experts at road
building. but we believe that with
proper drainage and grading and
a eool subsoil pillow, our roads
could be greatly, if not perma-
nently improved. by mixing the
S lbsoil with the sand.
We can discuss the matter al
RlHSe0RG, however, but unless the
people are willing to bear the
cost Of good roads, they will have
TO ell dure their present eXecrable
