Yesterdays receipts amounted to more
than any single days receipts since
these sales were inaugurated.
As early as s o'clock yesterday

against marking up or fictitious values.
Notwithstanding hundreds of extra
salespeople, cashiers and wrappers
had been engaged, the force was taxed
to its utmost by the immense throng-

DEBILITY OFTEN
CAUSES SCIkTICA
And L Is Necessary to Restore
the General Health Before
The Sciotic Pains viii
Cease.

The reason that sciatica 30 often re-
ours after the ordinary treatment Is not
because it is incurable but because these
treatments fall TO remove its cause
Sciatiea is a form OF neuralgia and has
been correctly called the cry OF the starv-
ed nerves for better blood. It's most
common cause is debility. In every case
of sciatica it will be found that the gen
eral health is run down and that conse-
quently the nerves are not receiving
sufficient nourishment.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills afford the
most effective treatment for sciatica and
neuralgia. They build up the general
health and fully nourish the underfed
nerves in the only possible way II build
ing up and purifying the blood
Mrs. J. W. Rapp, of R. F. d. No. l,
South Omaha, Neb., says:
Several years ago l was sufferer from
sciatica which followed a general run
down condition and exposure to wet and
dampness. The pains started in my
hands. which had sort of pricking SEN
sation like needles were being thrust into
them. As the disease grew worse the joints
of my fingers became affected. They
were swollen and were so painful that
could hardly bear it. Gradually the dis
ease began to affect my limbs IN the
same manner. They became terribly swol-
len and had to give up my work The
pains then spread all over my body and
were sharp and shooting. They would
suddenly shift from one part of the body
to another but fortunately did not seem
to affect my heart. For three months
was propped up in chair snd had TO be
waited on. / could not get any sleep and
was losing flesh eli OF the time.
''The doctor treated Ine for g long
time but did not give much relief as
the pains were as severe as ever when
cult taking his medicine. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills were brought 70 my notice
while reading booklet and / made up
nv mind TO give them a trial. The swell
ling soon went down and the pains were
less severe. I was so encouraged that
kept ON with the treatment until cured. =
