MRS WAITE CLARK

 On Wednesday last Mrs Waite Clark, aged ST, passed quietly away after being in failing health for the past two months. The funeral was from her late residence with her daughter, Mrs William Blakeman on Barn Hill, last Saturday, at 2 p. m., and at the church at 2.30 o'clock. Twist brothers with o. s. Blakeman and E. c. Shelton, acted as bearers. Rev MT Thayer officiated. Mrs Clark was widely known, consistent Christian and church member, and a veritable mine of information to the younger generation. Twelve years ago she celebrated her golden we'd ding, two years after which, in March, 1899, her husband passed on, at the same age as his wife who lin- gered on for ten years more in full health and strength of both body and mind until comparatively re- gently. Out of seven children only three, W. G. Clark and Mrs William Blakeman of Barn Hill and George Clark of Bridgeport, are left to cher ish the blessed memory of a sainted mother.

ACUTE DISEASES LEAVE THE BLOOD
 THIN AND WEAK The Tonic Treatment Which Cured This Hartford Alan Is Showing Remarkable Results in Such
 Cases.

When tho body becomes run down, either as a result of oyerwork, worry or Q severe illness, an examination of tho blood would show 1t to be weak and watery. This condition is called ann. mic, which is tho medical term for "bloodless. The common symptoms are paleness of the lips, gums and cheeks, shortness of breath and palpitation of the heart after tho slightest exertion, dull eyes and loss of appetite. Anamia itself is Q dangerous disease and 1t may gradually pass into consumption. It must be cured by treating its cause, which is the poor condition of the blood. The vital fluid must be made strong and healthy thereby enabling it to carry the necessary nourishment to every tissue of the body.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are the greatest builder of rich, new blood and they have been curing anemia and other blood diseases for nearly & generation, during which time they have come to be recognized as an invaluable household remedy. The statement of MT. F. l. Prickett, of No. Fl Asylum street, Hart ford, Conn, shows how these pills cure cases that stubbornly resist ordinary methods of treatment. He says:
 "A few years ago after an attack of pneumonia, l was greatly run down and did not regain my strength with the help of the doctors medicine. I was short of breath and my heart pained me upon any exertion. I had constant, throbbing headaches and was so nervous that could not sleep well. What little sleep l did get did not refresh me. l had no life or energy.
 q had read about Dr. Williams Pink Pills and decided to try them. A few boxes helped me and in a short time l was entirely restored to health. Dr. Will. Hams Pink Pills are good tonic and ] can heartily recommend them"
 A booklet, "Diseases of the Blood" showing what Dr. Williams Pink Pills have accomplished in many severe dis orders will be sent free on request.
 These pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes for s2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y. |
