COULD NOT GET STRENGTH BACK.
Every Sufferer from Debility Will Be Interested in the Cure of This Rhode Island
 Woman.

Some women recover their strength very slowly after an acute illness, after childbirth and other conditions of ex. treme debility. What is needed to assist nature is a tonic and, especially in the case of the nursing mother, care must be taken that its safe tonic one from which the increased strength of the mother will be shared by the child, Debilitated persons are very liable to have weak digestions and in such cases the tonic remedy must be one that is ac- ceptable to the most delicate stomach.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills have been very successful in curing weakness in women. A recent case is that of Mrs. J. R. Campbell, of No. 29 Union street, Lonsdale, R, l., who says:
 After the birth of my little girl was in weak condition for several months. l Isuffered terribly. My leg was swollen and l was just skeleton. My stomach was so weak that I could not retain more than quarter of a teaspoonful of beef tea at time. l grew weaker and weaker and my life hung in the balance for ten weeks with the doctor trying to bring back some strength.
 My husband at last asked me to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills for the doctor seemed to have done all he could for me. l started taking the pills after had been in bed for ten weeks. began to gain almost immediately and after a good trial of the pills was able to get up and walk. recovered my health and strength and praise the pills highly"
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are the great est discovery of modern times for suffer- ing women. They are unequalled as blood builder and therefore as tonic for the whole system. They have for years been curing anemia, rheumatism, after-effects of the grip and levers and such nervous diseases as neuralgia, ner- vous headaches, dizziness, St. Vitus' dance and even partial paralysis and 10. comotor ataxia.
 A booklet of valuable information, entitled "Plain Talks to Women," will be sent free to any woman interested.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

Teacher of Department.
w YHEN you ask me what Is the
NA matter with New York WON

habits, l see opened up be-
fore me a large and painful subject.
In sorrow | must admit that women
are helping to lower morals in New
York.
First, too much liberty is given to
the young woman l do not mean
that she should be immured in a CON-
vent until she comes out socially, but
believe that she should be taught
how to conduct herself properly in
public and in private before she goes
forth into the world. To-day this is
done only In rare cases.
The modern mother therefore Is to
blame for the conduct Of the new
generation Of young women. She is
not content with the sweet manners
of a modest girl. She demands that
worldly dash In her daughter which
causes comment, yes, but which is so
often the hallmark Of vulgarity. The
mother does not recognize this as
such. To her it is style, fashion,
something sparkling and altogether
to be desired in her daughter.
From this scorn of sweetness and
modesty in young girls spring loose
ness and carelessness among women
in public. The young woman of to-
day thinks nothing of drinking in pub.

time when she may go into a restau'

Mrs. Wilton'S Expectations
By JANE RICHARDSON
Copyright, by Short Stories Co., LID

Mrs. Wilton sat in consultation
with her three daughters the day aft
er her husbands funeral. She had
been a great belle In her girlhood-
a large forid woman, with an abun-
dance of blonde hair. The two elder
girls, Cecilia and Edith, resembled
her, both in appearance and in the
indolent good nature which was their
mothers chief characteristic. Susan,
the younger, had been named by her
father for his mother, and the name
suited her. She reminded n Of
some plain, old-fashioned flower. She
had been born with the instinct of
helpfulness, and all her life had been
ready to do the tasks which others
shirked, or we which they rebelled
and grumbled.
Her husbands sudden death had
been an overwhelming blow to Mrs.
Wilton. She was as helpless as a
baby, and the two elder daughters
scarcely less dependent; there was
nothing by which either of the two
might have added to their income.
Cecilia might take up her music
again and fit herself for teaching

There are already 81 music teach

Coughs in 5 Hours.
A writer for the medical press
states that coughing is responsible
for the bursting of blood vessels
quite frequently. A cough or cold
means inflammation %(fever) and con
g%estion, and these in turn Indicate
that the body is full of poisons and
waste matter. Simple relief, as found
in patent cough medicines, and whis-
key, often result in more harm than
good; as they cause more congestion.
A ton~ic-laxative cough syrup will
work marvels and here follows a pre-
~seription which is becoming famous
for its prompt relief and thorough
cures. 1t ribs the system of the
cause, except it be consumption.
Don't wait for consumption TO grasp

which cures some in five hours. Mix
in a bottle one-half ounce fluid wild
