turned to New York from Peru, beaten
in her attempt to climb the highest

the men she employed as guides and

Swiss mountain men to make another
attempt,

$4,000 feet, being then about 1000 feet
above the summit. This was at her
first attempt One Of her men deserted

the trip and especially as they ap,

which they have a superstitious dread.
The second attempt was like the

NERVOUS HEADACHES
Or. Williams Pink Pills viii Cure
Most Gases 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 well as neu-
ralgia, are caused by luck of nutrition
the nerves are starved. The only
way to feed the nerves is through the
blood and it 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 | suffered from nervous head
aches, which would come on me every
five or six weeks and continue for
several days. The pain was so severe
that | 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 felt as if
had been sick for a month. My
blood was thin and I was pale, weak
and reduced in weight,

Pills in paper and decided to try
them. I first noticed that they be.

But there are also periods in which, by an uncommon concentration of thought and effort, phenomenal progress may be made That is the meaning of Jacobs experi- ence on the bank of the foaming Jap- box.

 A canidate was created e knight by the king, who struck the person kneeling with the flat of a sword upon his back, exclaiming, Rise, Sir--w The blow which Jacob received was no light accolade. It crippled him. But as he passed over Peniel, halting on his thigh. the sun shone on a prince, an Israelite indeed, out of whom the guile had been taken.
