IMPORTANCE or PRESERVING TIE
HEALTH An, THAT TIME.
Proof of Ono Case In witch n Weak,
Nervous nnd Discouraged Wonnn
Was Ninrvclousiy Helped by
the Tonic 1'rcntmcnt.

Women approach their fortieth year
with worry and uncertainty. for the
manner In which, they pass that crisis
determines tho health of their after
life. During this most important time
III the life OF II woman, her whole aim
should be to build up and strengthen
her system to meet the unusual de-
niands upon 1t. Devotion to family
should not lead to neglect Of self, but
hard work and household cares and
worries should be avoided as far as
possible. Whether she is able to do
this or not. no woman should fail to
take the tonic treatment If she is
entering this critical period in a weak,
rundown and nervous condition.
Mrs. Martha Dennis. of S23 West
Cedar Street, Kalamazoo. Mich, who
owes her health to this treatment,
says:
II suffered for year with weak
ness, enduring pains which almost
made me frantic. My kidneys were
weak, 1 had pains in my loins and
back. and could hardly stoop over or
lift anything. My liver was torpid
and my complexion and the whites
of my eyes yellow. ] had palpitation
OF the heart. my limbs ached and l
had severe headaches. / was troubled
with chills. followed by fevers and
would have to go to bed. / could not
rest at night. and was unable to re-
member anything. / was weak, irrita-
Bile, nervous and discoura ged.
After several months of suffering
1 was advised by a friend to try DR..
Williams Pink Pills, and the benefit
I received from the first few boxes
was remarkable. l was cured much
sooner than l had hoped, and have
been in good health ever since
Drowsness. n feeling Of fleaviness,
pain in the front of the head, nausea
and even vomiting. dizziness. faint
ness. hot flashes followed by chills and
profuse perspiration, are some of the
signs that indicate the need OF tonic
treatment as the change approaches.
If this is your condition you should
not wait another day before giving Dr..
Williams Pink Pills a trial. Our

provocation. w. J. Glass, heretofore
employed as an engineer at the Me-
mortal Hospital. was sentenced to four
months III Jail by a jury In the Hust-
ings Court yesterday. He was con-
victed Of assault and battery. DR..
Ennion G.. Williams and others testified
to the previous good character of Glass.
I. was shown, however, that he had
been drinking. and while under the
effects Of the whiskey Went into Jack
son Ward to celebrate. He made an
officers badge out Of heavy sheet OF
tin, and with a knife scratched the
words Baldwin Detective" OH the

proved enough to brighten the negro
who caught one or two bullets in the
excitement.
Glass has been in Jail for nearly a
month. and he hopes to have that sub
tracted from tho four. He expects to
shorten 1t still more by good behavior.
for-in ordinary times he Is q peaceable

There has been some talk to the eff

this is not probable, in view OF the
fact that they have accepted appoint

BILL FOR PUBLIC BUILDING.

We have pleasure in publish
ing elsewhere in the Hustler to-
day copy of the resolution re-
Gently introduced into the House
of Representatives by Congress
man Crawford providing for the
establishment of a public build
ing in Hendersonville. 1t is al
ways a difficult matter to get ap-
preparation for such purposes
through and MIR. Crawford will
need the united support of every
citizen and industrial organiza-
ton in the town. The present
congress, being frightened on
account of the late panic, seems
inclined to let no measure carry
ing appropriations pass that can
be postponed. 1t therefore be-
hooveS members of both political
parties in HenderSonville and
vicinity to beStir themselves in
the effort to give their represent
alive at Washington every pos
sible assistance in this matter,
which means so much for our
progressive little city. Let US
communicate with MIR. Crawford
at once, and ascertain what he
would have us to do, and then
get busy.
If we remember correctly, it
has heretofore been the policy OF
the government to establish pub
lie buildings only in towns and
cities having free delivery and in
event this be true, the first thing
for consideration, in the present
