A CONDITION
THAT CALLS FOR
A GOOD TONIC
An Oklahoma Woman Tells How
She Was Cured of a De-
biEty That Bamed the
Doctors.

General debility is generally due to
impure blood. Its causes are worry,
overwork, failure of the body to regain
its health after severe sickness, lack
of nourishment from a disordered d.
gestion, or some drain upon the system,
all of which result in thinning the
blood, preventing it from carrying
health and nourishment to the tissues
of the body.
There is no more perplexing trouble
than debility cases in which there is no
acute disease but in which the patient
sinks lower and lever despite changes of
medicine and si1ilar experiments.
That DIR. Williams Pink Pills will re-
store health under these conditions is
no speculation but the fact has been
proved in hundreds OF cases similar to
that OF Mrs. E. b. Bailey, of No. Sl9
South Hudson street, Oklahoma City,
Okla. She says:
"Several months ago | was in gem
eral down condition as the result Of
a severe fall. The muscles of my back
seemed to be weak and there were dull
pains through them, Ihad severe head
aches and was very nervous. | kept
losing flesh and was unable to get any
refreshing sleep. Although was up

CAPT. collins
IN SPOTLIGHT
Echoes of Disastrous Honey
moon in Honolulu Still
Heard In New York.

Capt. Charles Glen Collins, the dash
ing British ex-army officer whose first
matrimonial venture. with Natalie
Schenck, came to grief in Honolulu

venturer on the high seas of love. He
is now, according to news received
here, sutton for the hand of Miss
Clara Parks, step-daughter to John
II. Parks, the American tack-trust
king, living in New York.
Capt. Collins and Natalie Schenck
Collins came to Honolulu on thor
honeymoon, whose sensational details
are well remembered here. The no
neymoon ended in stormy scenes
when the bride discovered that her
husband was penniless, and they We're
estranged when she refused to write
home for money. They lived at the
Moana Hotel.
The p Il ! etin few weeks ago
prin cd the story that Collins is al
legged to have secured the money for
the trip by defrauding rich Anglo
Russian princess ont of several thou
sand dollars through the sale of some
valuable vases. Apparently the Brl-
fish captain is unable to keep out OF
the limelight for the echoes of his
encounter with the princess in fash
ionable New York cafe have hardly
died away before he is back In the
newspaper columns again with his
campaign for the hand of the million
dire tack manufactures.
Father Admits Suit.
Miss Parks is twenty years old and
the girl and the man came together
at the st. Regis hotel, where both
live The father, John II. Parks, made
the following statement IN connection
with the affair:
"While it would be premature and
improper to say that my daughter and
Capt. Collins are engaged, there is
