Can Be Cured Only by Toning Up the
Nervous System, tho Treatment
Which Destored This Young
ithaca Woman to Health.
One who has not endured the suffer
ing caused by nervous headache cannot
realize the awful agony Of dts victims:
Worst Of all, the ordinary treatment
cannot be relied upon to cure nor even
TO give relief that is permanent. Some
doctors will say that If a person is sub
4 ject to these headaches there is nothing
that win prevent their recurrence.
Nervous headaches, as we'll as neural
sia, are caused by lack of nutrition
the nerves are starved. Feed the nerves
by furnishing thru the blood the
elements which they require and the
cause of these nervous troubles Is re-
moved. The only way to feed the
nerves is thru the blood, and it is in
this way that DIR. Williams Pink Pills
have accomplished SO many remarkable
cures.
Miss f. Mae Markell of 10s Huestis
street, ithaca, N. Y, says: Il had ner-
vous headaches for several years. They
began, when was q student in the
/ high school. was studying hard,
grew pale and thin and my friends
were afraid was going into decline.
q had no appetite, my digestion was
poor and lost in weight. The head
aches came on. two or three times a
week and sometimes every day. They
were so severe that quite often
would have to go to bed when came
home from school MY, blood was in
such q bad condition that my hands
were covered with rash.
sour family doctor benetited me for
. time, but did not seem able to cure
mo. Ny grandfather told me to try
DR. Williams Pink Pills. saying they
had helped him. 4 found that they
were helping me and took them until
cured. When school opened again
was strong and able to study and
have never had the headaches since"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold

PLACES PATIENCE ABOVE ALL
Supreme Quality in Good Wife, Ac'
cordino to This Writer.


Patience is the supreme quality Of a
good wife,
When humanity shall have evolved
a perfect race of men there will be
less need of this virtue in women,
Now it is chief of the Indispensable
qualities. For the twentieth century
wife must inevitably learn that she
has married an imperfect creature
many degrees below the god of her girl
ish fancy, And for the facing of this
unwelcome fact she requires abundant
patience
Woman's most blessed work in tho
world is the long long task of foster
ing the blossoms and ripening the
fruit of character in the young. For
this there is need OF a patience half
divine
You are growing to have the look
In your face that mother has. You
don't look like us boys any more, -
said boy TO his sister That new
look which the boy noted but could
not name was patience There Is
scarcely a wifely virtue but by over
indulgence may become a defect. Yet
no wife has ever had too large a stock
of patience. The patient wife for
gives her husbands ill-humors. She
discounts his failures and exaggerates
his successes.-Chicago American.

First to Use Sewing Machine.

Miss Elizabeth NJ. Kllbourn, said to
be the first woman who ever took q
stitch on a sewing machine. Is now
living at Winsted Conn. She was
teaching in Hartford when she called
one day at the workshop of Elias
Howe to see the new invention which
she had heard talked about.
Howe received her cordially, and
after explaining the working of the
machine asked her If she would care
to try how 1t would work She was
delighted at the idea, but felt some
timidity on account of her total ig-
norance of machinery. After being
assured by Howe that the mechanism
of his invention was not so delicate
as she imagined, she took her seat and
ran up a short seam. When she got
up from the machine he said to her.; "a

world who ever took stitch on a
