ARE YOU NERVOUS z
Then Look to the Condition Of
Your Blood-You Cannot Have
Strong Nerves If the Blood
Is Thin and Weak.

The cause of much nervous trouble is
poor blood The continual demand
upon the nervous system by the work
and worry of the daily lilo will result in
breakdown unless the blood is pure and
rich, for it is the blood that gives to the
nerves and other tissues of the body the
nourishment they need. A case in
proof, which illustrates the proper treat
ment for many nervous disorders, is
that of Mrs John +. Reagan, of Elk
hart, Texas, who took DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People upon the adj
vice OF her fatler-in- law, the late Hon.
John H. Reagan, who was Postmaster
General of the Confederacy, q. s. Sena-
tor for number OF years and Chairman
of the Railroad Commission OF Texas.
Her husband was formerly County At
torney OF Anderson county. She tells of
her cure, as follows:
HMy sickness began several years ago,
rs a result of worry and OVERRIDING,
while nursing my child during sickness.
l was living at Jacksonville but was
moved to Crockett to my sister home.
I was in bed for about six months and
was constantly under the care of doc
tors. They pronounced my case ner-
yous prostration and gave me tonics to
keep up my strength as well rs they
could. / was finally able TO get up from
bed but could just get around and did
not gain in health. suffered mostly
with my heart. 1t seemed to palpitate
and / would often faint away and be
unconscious. Sometimes the e1ertion
of rising from my chair would cause me
to faint away. I was SO nervous thaS
I couldn't bear to have any noise or ex-
element near me. was pale and had
no strength or life at all. My stomach
was weak and didn't seem able to digest
anything but the highest foods.
"My father-in-law, the Hon. John
FL. Reagan, who had taken DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People for rheu-
matism and who was cured by them, per-
suaded me to give the pills trial. In a
short time I could see that was mend
ing for l could sleep better, began to
have an appetite and was less nervous.
My improvement was gradual until !

Sick people whose hearts are weak,
deranged or diseased, who have short

So remarkable are the results that
he wishes every sick person to test
this great treatment at his expense.
His book will show that he is recon-
mended by Professors, Physicians,

Prominent Citizens and others.
These treatments are the result OF
rs years Of extensive research and
remarkable success in treating the
various ailments Of the heart, stom-
ach, liver, kidneys and nerves, which
SO often complicate each case. So
astonishing are the cures effected, in
most cases, that he Is led to make
this very liberal and unusual offer.
Certainly nothing could be more
generous. Few physicians have such
confidence in their treatments. You
may never have such ar opportunity
again. No death comes more sud

GREAT GOOD IS
BEING DONE HERE
Many People Praising RooO
Juice and its Strange Power

When the Root Juice demonstra-
tions were started here some days
ago the names of many people whc
were cured by the great remedy were
published in the local papers. The
wonderful medicine has been here
only short time, but many home
people who have been using 1t are
praising it very highly. We have
published in this paper the names Of
many who have been cured by it, and
1t seems that it would pay every af-
flicted person to investigate, as no
medicine was ever introduced to this
community that created so much IA
vorable comment and did SO much
good in such a short time. 1t seems
useless for any person to continue t.
suffer from rheumatism, pains in the
joints or muscles, backaches, indiges-
ton, belching, pains after meals or
any stomach OR kidney distress, for
the action of the new medicine In
such cases is truly marvellous. Rheu
matte pains usually disappear in a.
few days and many say that three or
four doses will relieve any case of in
digestion or stomach distress. One
man who suffered from backaches for
So yrs claims to be completely
cured.
Out of the scores of people that
have purchased the remedy, not a
single complaint has been heard, but
many are calling at the Wilkinson
& Co. drug store to get more Of the
medicine and report the great good it
is doing.

spectacular and colorful than usual,
even in these days of gorgeous produc-

The play itself is merry farce of
such fine quality that 1t would readi-

without the added and luxurious en-
bellishments of songs and a chorus
composed of beauties from the La

training of choristers-an institution

superior choruses always attendant
upon La Sale productions.

policy, Manager Harry Asllin is send

Franklin McNarry as Bruce Kellogg

play is old-some may say-yet the
pure motive makes it always pop

stuff netted him S2462 80. One half

to wheat and the other to flax yielded
$76l5. This was grown on land (which
