PALE, WEAK, NERVOUS AND
 DYSpEPTIG
This New Haven Woman Became Discouraged but She Found a Core and Tells Others
 About It.

ahbppt 1s
 Why are nervous people invariably pale people? The answer to that ques tiOn explains why a remedy that acts or the blood can cure nervous troubles. Il explains why Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People arc also for nervous people.
 The nervous system receives it's nour- ishment as well as it's medicine through the blood. Let the blood become thin, weak and colorless and the nerves are starved. Enrich the blood and the nerves are stimulated and toned up to do their part of the work of the body.
 Through their power to build up the blood and give tone to the nerves Dr. Williams Pink Pills have cured thous- ands of cases similar to that of Mrs. J. 0. Gagnon, of No. l33 New Hall street, New Haven, Conn.
 q suffered for five years," she says, "with nervous dyspepsia which came on me gradually. l had no appetite, food distressed me and gas formed on my stomach. My stomach bloated and gave me a disagreeable feeling of fullness. I had palpitation of the heart while any exertion, like sweeping or going up stairs, would make me short of breath. On going up stairs I would have to stop and rest at every few steps. l had many severe headaches and, while they lasted, l ICould do no housework. l was weak, pale, nervous and easily excited.
 T was treated by doctor for four or five months but his medicines failed to help me. Finally l became sorun down and discouraged that l didn't know what to do. My sister then urged me to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills. Twas willing to try anything in hope of getting relief and started taking them at once. The first few boxes helped my head and, as I continued using the pills, my color and flesh returned, my digestion became good and the nervousness left me. A thorough trial of Dr. Williams Pink Pills cured me and l have been well ever since"
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists or sent, postpaid, on re- ceipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y. They are guaranteed to be free from opiates or any harmful drug and cannot injure the most delicate system.

That MANHATTAN ISLAND is des- tined to become BUSINESS MART fin place of RESIDENTIAL locality js impressed upon us with greater force each year.
 Even 5uh Avenue below Srth Street once the home of the AKISTOI RAT is now a BUSINESS sKCTION.
 Real Estate values within committing distance of New York City are steadily incr easing, the high rents in the ..ity are forcing THOUSANDS of families to the SUBURBS: This demand for Su- purbah HOMES insures steady in- crease in values and a steadily increas. ing business The C0IN0NOsdIC COM PANY owns and controls choiccly To- cated property in the Borough of R1'n- sey, N.

 The demand for homes of this des- cription is great and there is a ready market for all that the company can build this season on the terms we offer Orders now on hand to be completed of s additional s working capital M is Se'or ordrr to complete our contracts ln ti'ne.
 THAT THE PROFITS OF REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT and HOMEBU HIDING are large need not be reiterated. h this era of progress, the combination of Brains and Capital is the salient factor in all business enterprise.
 The combination of brains and capital is just as essential in the suburban real estate and home building business as in the great Industriais.
 In the rapid growth of Suburban Home building practically new field has been opened for the lnvestnent of capital. The investment is absolutely safe and earns large returns. All ele- ments of speculation are eliminated All homes are sold before the bllliing operations commence
