AWFUL NEURALGIA
Pain Turned This Woman's Hair

Or. Williams Pink Pills.

Do not seek relief from suffering
simply, but free your system from the
disease which Is tne cause of your
suffering. That Is the message which
a former victim of neuralgia sends to
those who are still In its grasp. Hot
applications, powders that deaden the
senses and others that reduce the
heart action may cause temporary re-
lief but the pain is sure to return with
greater intensity.
Mrs. Evelyn Creusere. who has a
beautiful home at S11 Boulevard
West, Detroit, Mich, suffered for
years with neuralgia until she tried
this tonic treatment. She says:
my trouble began about six years
ago and l did not rest as l should
have, but kept UP about my many
duties. After time l became SO
weak could not do any work at all.
I had severe backaches and such
dreadful headaches In the back part

Cedron seeds is another ingredient OF
Peruna, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked by the

Nicaragua Victorious in Fight on
the Frontier.

Managua, Nicaragua.-The Nicara-
guam forces on Feb 20 captured, with
out opposition, the town of Ell Truin'
TO, in Honduras, and on the 21st, aftei
six hours hard fighting, the Nicara-
guam army occupied San Bernardo, an
excellent position owing to the fact
that it is in communication by land
and water with the Nicaraguan base
of operations. Many Hondurans were
killed or wounded and the retreating
army left quantities of ammunition
and many rifles upon the field. The
casualties upon the Nicaraguan side
were few men wounded.
General Miguel r. Davilaya has ar
rived at Danlig, Honduras (not far
from the Nicaraguan frontier), from
the interior of Honduras. A provis-
ional government has been established
