A SEVERE CASE OF
NEURALGIA CURED
The Treatment Which This Cleve-
land Woman Used with Such
Success Is Available for
Every Sufferer.

Many who are now tortured with
neuralgia will read with interest the fol-
lowing statement OF Mrs. w. L. SQUIRE
OF No. 1854 East 10Th Street, Cleveland.
Ohio. Mrs. Squire was cured by DIR.
Williams Pink Pills and has since en-
ioyed excellent health. She SAYS:
II was taken with what the doctor
called facial neuritis, or neuralgia of the
nerves OF the face and suffered the most
intense pain. They said my trouble was
caused by overwork apd worry but their
treatment did not help me, nor even re-
neve the pain. Finally I was taken To
the hospital and underwent an operation
for the removal OF the affected nerves.
For time after the operation was bet
ter and then the old trouble returned
with Q vengeance. Whist / suffered can
not be told or written My doctor ad-
vised me to submit TO another operation
but the thought of il was terrible TO me.
About this time / read an advertisement
OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills and decided
TO try them. The result was that after
taking few boxes found myself greatly
benefited, 30 much 50 that decided TO
forego the operation for q time ut least.
can say now that find myself entirely
cured and am in better health than have
enjoyed for the last fifteen or sixteen
years: ! am very grateful to DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for my recovery and
have recommended them 70 many peo-
pie. / am q living testimonial of the
worth OF the medicine"
The tonic treatment with DR.. Williams
Pink Pills succeeds where other treat
ments fail because II is based on the
sound medical principle that the health
OF the nerves depends on pure, red blood.
Every person who is interested in the
home treatment of nervous disorders
should send for the new edition of our
booklet entitled, Diseases of the Nervous
System, Their Nature, Symptoms and
Treatment. The booklet describes
symptoms and gives much useful infor-
nation. Address the DR.. Williams Med.

dancing, cavorting and whirling every
minute OF the two acts. The scenic
equipment Is attractive. especially the
second act, which shows a scene OF
old California that is both picturesque
and pretty. Chorus girls Of every age
and style Of beauty wear all sorts of
modish clothes and number OF color

with which the show abounds.

GARRICk.

Way Down East" with Anna
Moore, Hi Holler,. Martha Perkins,
Seth Holcomb and all the others that
Detroiters have laughed and cried
over for 10 years or more, opened a
weeks engagement in the Garrick,
Monday night, and the size of the
audience testifies that the play has
lost none OF the popularity which has
made II one of the most conspicuous
successes ever produced in America.
1t Is not difficult to explain the hold
which Way Down East" has on the
public. 1t Is play OF the people,
with characters taken from real life.
Although, perhaps, slightly overdrawn
at times, the characters are portrayed
with striking fidelity to life And
then the play savors of the farm, and
no matter how Gifted the hearer has
become. this picture of farm life
strikes responsive chord.
The play is staged just as 1t has
been for more than q decade. The
snow storm which RACES when the
squire turns Anna out into the night,
when he learns from the village gos-
sip of the hidden chapter in her life,
is just as shivery as II was when first
seen. Hi Holler Is the same fat,
awkward chore boy, and his
stories from Puck are Just as funny
as ever, in fact one man in the
audience laughed until he was hyster-
ical, and II was several minutes be-
fore he could control his risibilities.
HIS efforts to lead the calf, a real
live animal, by the way, into the
barn. Is always funny, and the audi
ence laughed just as loudly, Monday
night, when the animal butted him
over as it did when the play was
young

casion splendidly whenever the pro-
duction demanded real acting. Glad
den James, as the squire's son, made
a manly lover, while John r. Arm
strong, as Squire Amassa Bartlett,
met every requirement.

A nymph Of the sea who performs
some wonderful feats of aquatic aero
battles Is Odiva, the young woman
from Samoa who heads the bill i'm
the Temple theater this week. Odiva's
performance Is quite different from
that OF Annette Kellerman. the young
Australian over whom the vaudeville
world has raved for year past.
Odiva's swimming stunts are accom-
plished In full view of the audience
In tank placed on the stage. not
sunk below 1t. The stage Is set TO
represent a pool In the woods with
scenery and lighting effects that are
quito elaborate. Odiva's gentlemanly
barker" informs the audience that
the glass tank contains 5000 gallons
Of water. He also explains each of
Odivas feats DIS that slim. well.built
young woman gives her mermaid.like
performance. The young lady seems
more at ease In the water than most
folk on terra firma. She remained
below the surface of the water two
minutes and a quarter without any
apparent discomfort. assuming differ
ent pastures the while and finally ris-
Ing to the top of the tank again with
a nonchalance that brought forth
"ohs" and "ahs" of establishment from
the audience. The most natural thing
to expect under those circumstances
is the aid OF violent resuscitation
methods. Odiva is a graceful swim
mer, and her diving sustains her rep
utation as the most skillful pearl
diver In the Samoan islands.
The acts that surround Odiva are
OF such excellence that State Fair Wis
ltors who visit the Temple this week
will be able to go home and tell tie
folks that they saw the best show
ever down to Detroit" There Is

It is as pretty a bit OF stage scenery

himself as a green frog and his work
follows the habits Of that little crea-
ture Of the shady pool. The writings

In an act OF this kind, are done so
cleverly by Ferry that his contortions
become OF fascinating interest.

The philosopher happened to be
present during that long speech. Nov
isn't it possible that it's the same way
about lives?" he suggested thought
fully. I'VE are always saying that a
perfectly happy life some one seems
to have. and what a contrast it is to
somebody else who has every sort of
sorrow and trouble. but in the long
run don't things even up pretty thor
oughly? Isn't it possible that before
the season is over, the pleasant and
unpleasant days have balanced pretty
well?'
wonder if he is right.
OF course the Matter-of-fact Per-
son was present, and promptly re-
futed the philosopher with an example
of a woman whom she knew who was
over eighty and had never had a mite
of real trouble in her life, and would
have to crowd a lot into the last few
wears of her life If she were to make
up the arrears of stormy weather due
her.
How do you know she never had
any trouble, Madame?" inquired the
philosopher.

addressed the rest of his remarks to
me.
