HER RIGHT SIDE
WAS PARALYZED
A Case at Auburn, Me-, Which
Shows How Exhausted Nerves
MAY Be Toned Up.

The basis of the tonic treatment of
nervous diseases with DR.. Williams Pink
Pills which is everywhere meeting with
the greatest success, is to supply and
keep up the nourishment of the nerves.
The cause of most nervous troubles is
some interference with this nourishment
which can be supplied only through the
blood. Whenever the blood becomes
impure or weak, the nerves fail to re-
ceive their needed nourishment and
sooner or later become exhausted and
break down. If the blood is neglected
some form of nervous trouble results.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are the most
direct cure for nervous troubles because
thev remove the cause of these diseases
| by building up and purifying the blood.
The pure blood which they make fur
nishes the nerves with needed elements
until they are restored to their normal
strength. The pills have made many re-
markable cures in nervous disorders that
no sufferer can afford to neglect giving
them trial.
Mrs. Winona Smith, of No. so Winter
street, Auburn, Me-, gave this tonic treat
ment a thorough trial and her cure

to give it trial. She says:
"About seven years ago my right side

gave me electric treatment but did not
seem to help me. He gave me no en-
couragement. A friend advised me to
try Dr.. Williams Pink Pills, and, as
was not being helped, did so. At first
l thought the pills were not helping me
but in a few weeks I was able to gel
around without effort. l now worl

301, 900 population, and the addition
al fact that Minneapolis has St.

ten and fraction while st. Paul's
is eleven and a fraction out of every
thousand people. The Gazette re-
iterates what it said last week, that
Redwood Falls is still several laps
ahead on the low death rate, as the
basis of the rate in the census is the

THEY WIN A HARD GAME.
High School Boys Defeat Redwood Falls
Team IL to 8.

Window Citizen:
On Saturday the w. H. S. foot
ball team triumphed over the best
team it has met this year. The vic
Tins were from Redwood Falls and
came across the country in autos in
the morning.
At 1:45 the visitors in neat uni
forms trotted onto the field at the fair
grounds. and proceeded to entertain
the spectators with a self conscious
display of cleverness. They could af-
ford to crafty every within of the
crowd. All too soon they would be
compelled to scalp "our favorites"
and with Mohawk yell and Che
rokee grin would suspend the pill
fered wig from vacant hook on
the Redwood belt. To be sure,
there was trophy there from last
week. They ran race with poor
little Olivia with football as an
excuse. At the close of the race
Oliyia's remains were gently in
tered with a rah rah requiem and
a single epitaph of 81 to 0, while the
girls and stars and pines were
mournful.
How confident they were as they
trotted.and curveted in public, and
posed for a picture before the grand
stand. They were anxious for the
fray. They had seen several of the
Window players, and when they re-
membered the fearful sorrows of
Oliyia's rooters. they agreed that
81 to 0 was too high tariff for pro-
lection or revenue. and so as a spe-
cial favor to the innocent looking

Tomorrow will witness the cold
gray dawn of the morning after,
for legions of candidates in this and
other states. Regardless of party
we will all have to admit that tn ere
is whole lot of things in our cleo
ton system that might be bettered.
It seems repugnant to old-fashioned
ideas Of fitness Of things that there
is no longer such a possibility as the
office seeking the man, so far as To-
cal offices are concerned. Whether
saint or sinner, Republican, Prohibi-
zionist or Democrat, the only show
on earth is for the man to seek the
Office, and be mighty lively about it,
too. Of course that statement does
not apply to the office of county
surveyor in this county at least.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1910-11-08

spectators, they would compromise
on about 30 to 0. They coyly smiled
at each other, and furtively winked
as they thoughtfully calculated
which goal line they could cross the
oftenest with least damage to the
emotions of Window supporters.
Their team was of the sPercheron
type and their assurance colossal.
After desecting the game in detail
the report concluded:
The game was an exhibition of
what speed. gameness and under
standing Of fundamentals Of foot
ball can do against some speed. more
assurance, and more Drawn. Satur-
days game had the inmarks of a
championship contest. and was as
good as could be seen anywhere in
the country.
One unusual feature of the contest
was spirited attempt to recover
fumbled ball by both teams. Six
men had made dive for the pig
skin, in turn striking it with their
shoulders and knocking it farther
away, until Joe Noble, who smiles
on all his foes," dove with a huge
circle of his arms and tenderly shell
tered the ball from danger.
It would be folly to choose stars
for particular mention. Every man
played star game. Redwood had
no meteoric players, but lumber
ing, massive phalanx of veterans
who fell before the charge Of the
light brigade.
We learned to like Redwood, and
couldn't help defeating them. Luz
verne is next.
