NERVOUS COLLAPSE

WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
Taken When the First Warning Symp-
toms Are Noticed Much Needless
SUFFERING Nav Be Saved,

Are you troubled with pallor, loss of
spirits, waves Of heat passing over the
body, shortness of breath after slight
oxertion, peculiar skipping of the
heart beat, poor digestion, cold extremi-
ties or a feeling of weight and fullness?
Do not make the mistake of thinking
that these are diseases in themselves
and be satisfied with temporary relief.
This is the way the nerves give warn
ing that they are breaking down. 1t
simply means that the blood has become
impure and cannot carry enough nourish-
ment to the nerves to keep them healthy
and able to do their work,
Rest, alone, will sometimes give the
needed relief. The tonic treatment by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, however. pre-.
vents the final breakdown of the nerves
and the more serious diseases which
follow because the pills act directly
upon the impure blood, making it rich,
red and pure,
Mrs, +. @. Bradley, of 1903 Parsells
avenue, Rochester, N. Y, says:
81 was never very healthy and some
years ago, when in rundown condi-
ton, suffered q nervous shock, caused
by misfortune to friend. 1t was so

months. got no relief and then de.
cided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
soon began to feel better and the i'm.
provement was general. My appetite
became hearty and my sleep better,
The headaches all left and also the pains
in my back. A few more boxes entirely
cured me and 1 was able to go back to
work, | felt splendid and as though
had never been sick"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are invaluable
in such diseases as rheumatism, after
effects Of the grip and fevers, neuralgia

paralysis and locomotor ataxia.

all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid

Horned Pelican

A special to the Argus Leader, under
date of Groton, May s, told about a
Mr.. Walter Holtz, resident OF that
county shooting white pelican
measuring eight feet from tip to tip Of
wings and with bill 13 inches long.
But the sting was in the paragraph to
wit: "On the upper part OF the beak
was bony horn, of which the natural
lists who have studied the white pelican
in this part OF the earth make no
mention. So far as known this is the
first horned pelican ever killed within
the limits of South Dakota"
Perhaps the naturalists known to
the Argus-Leader make no mention of
the bony horn, but here abouts this
style OF pelican, bony horn and all is
quite common. SO far from their
being rarity BroOkings sportsmen
don't think it worth while to mention
their prowess in this line, but f. ].

feet eight inches from tip to tip OF wing,

NO PEACE MAKING IN SOUTH DAKOTA
No Solace for the Argus Leader OUTFIT

Washington, p. c., May 2O.-Spe-
cial J.: Secretary Taft deemed it advis-
able today to give out that his visit to
South Dakota on the occasion Of his
trip to Fort Meade next month would
be without political significance and
that in the short speech he will deliver
at Sioux Falls he will not refer in any
way to the small issues that have
arisen between the party leaders in
South Dakota" On these points the
secretary has not been sufficiently
informed to form an opinion.
He has invited Senators Kittredge
and Gamble and Gov. Crawford to
meet him at Fort Meade, a post in
which he feels great interest, but he
does not know whether they will
do so.
According to his present programme
the secretary will arrive in Sioux Falls
at $40 o'clock the morning of June Is
and leave at o'clock the same morn
ing. The secretary will stay at Fort
Meade until 6:57 O'Clock OF the evening
OF June l6 and Will then leave for Fort
Leavenworth.
