Nervous
 Headaches.
CAUSED BY A POOR SUP PLY OF BLOOD TO
 THE NERVES.
Cured By Dr Williams Pink Pills which enrich the Blood and send Nourishment to
 the Starved Nerves.

There is absolutely no way of reach ing the nerves with medicine except through the blood. The nerves receive all of their nourishment and support from the blood which, under healthful conditions, carries the elements needed to rebuild wasted nerve tissue.
 Let the blood become deranged and deficient in these elements and the nerves will be badly nourished and headaches, neuralgia, sciatica, funct- ional paralysis and host of other ner- vous troubles may result.
 Since most common nervous troubles are caused by defect in the blood. to cure them at the root the blood defect must be corrected. So when 8 phys ician gives medicine for the nerves he gives something that will act on the blood in such way that the nerves will be affected. <.
 There is, therefore, no mystery about the fact that Dr Williams Pink Pills are both blood builder and nerve tonic, nothing unrecognized by science in the power of these pills to cure se- were nervous disorders as we'll as dis. eases of the blood. Dr Williams Pink Pills are specific for anaemia, or deficiency of blood. Hence they are remedy for all nervous d iseases which result from, or thrive under, anaemic conditions. One such trouble is nervous headache and the success of the tonic treatment through the blood is thus described by Mrs J. H. Morgan, of Correctionvllle, Iowa, who says: .,,
 "Some years ago l was in terribly nervous and rundown condition and suffered greatly from nervous head aches. was treated for three months by a specialist in Chicago, who advised me to wear glasses, but he did not help me. My head seemed as though. 1t would burst, and had frequent dizzy spells. I was in despair of getting we'll until I read about Dr Williams 1 Pink Pills and began taking them. A few boxes cured me and since then l lhave used them as family medicine:
 Before the birth of my last child l suffered untold agony with pain and numbness in my hands and arms up to the shoulders. The pain was as nearly like the killing of a nerve in tooth as can describe it. My hands were so swollen and the muscles so sore that could hardly dress myself. During the day if kept moving the pain did not seem to be so bad, but my hands were always numb. l again used Dr VII, liams' Pink Pills and found them good for this trouble also, as they entirely relieved me. The pills have done more for me than anything else and recom- mend them heartily" Dr Williams Pink Pills are unequal ed for the treatment of even the most severe nervous disorders, such as neu. ralgia, partial paralysis, St Vltus' dance and locomotor ataxia. As a tonic for the blood and nerves they are used everywhere with the greatest success. building up wasted bodies and bringing the glow of health to pale and sallow . cheeks.
 Dr Williams Pink Pills are sold by
 all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on re-
 ceipt of price, 5Oc per box: six boxes |, for S2. 50, by the Dr Williams Medicine

The demand for Asphalt Ready Roof ings has increased rapidly during the past few years. due largely to their lasting qualities, the ease with which they may be applied and the reason able price of the goods in comparison with slate, tin, shingles. etc. For twenty-five years Trinidad Lake As phalt has been the standard by which all other asphalts are compared. Gen. asco Asphalt Ready Roofings are man. ufactured from this material. They are suitable for use in any climate, and on either steep or flat roofs. Nails and liquid cement, with directions for laying, are packed inside each roll. The line is complete, offering a varie- ty which should meet the requirements of any customer. At the head of the list is Genasco Model Ready Roofing, embodying the best features of all oth- CTS, and more. Genuine natural asphalt is the waterproofing material, and the wool felt which forms the foundation is so reinforced that it is practically in- destructible. Every particle of fibrous matter is thoroughly protected with asphalt on both sides. The surface coat ing of crushed quartz presents an at tractive appearance and an effectual protection against fire and weather, rendering painting unnecessary. Henry Foulois sells this roofing.

That languid, lifeless feeling that comes with spring and carry summer. can.be quickly changed to feeling of buoyancy and energy by the judicious use of Dr Shoop's Restorative.
 The Restorative is a genuine tonic to tired rundown nerves, and but a few doses is needed to satisfy the user that Dr Shoop's Restorative is actually reaching that tired spot. The indoor life of winter nearly always leads to sluggish bowels, and to sluggish circu- lation in general. The customary lack of exercise and outdoor air ties up the liver, stagnates the kidneys, and oft times weakens the Hearts action. Use Dr Shops Restorative few weeks and all will be changed. A few days test will tell you that you are using the right remedy. You will easily and surely note the change from day to day. Sold by all dealers.
