final RESULT OF
IMPURE BLOOD
The System Is Left Weak, Ron
Down and Helpless Against
the Attacks of Disease,

If you need strength, if your blood is
thin, your digestion disordered, it will
pay you to investigate the merits of DR..
Williams Pink Pills, the remedy that
has transformed 80 many weak, ansmic,
dyspeptic, ambitionless people into
strong, healthy, hungry men and
women. I.
Mrs. Lena May Roberts, whose adj
dress is R. F. D. No. 8, Aberdeen, So.
Dakota after several months of suffering
finally found the right tonic in DR..
Williams Pink Pills. She says:
"For months after the birth of nv
baby, I suffered terribly from a general
breakdown in health. Twas in bed for
three months and after that was able to
be up only part Of the time. | was
sick all over, being pale, weak and
thin. My appetite was gone and my
head ached most of the time. Often
times there seemed to be a rush of blood
to my head and l would faint away. /
was very nervous and was not strong
enough to do any work.
las the treatment l was taking did
not help me, | began to take DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills, which a friend said
had helped her. After taking a few
boxes, l began to get well rapidly. I
continued using them for a time and
am now as well and strong a v in
my ife."
The value of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
in general debility lies in their direct re-
spouse to the needs of the blood. Their
work is to make new blood. That they
do this we'll is shown by the gradual
disappearance of the symptoms and
the return of color and health. They
lay the foundation for permanent health
in the future.
For the same reason these pills have
cured anamia, after-effects Of the grip
and fevers, rheumatism, indigestion,
and nervousness, dizziness, neuralgia
and St. Vitus' dance, and are recon-
mended wherever a tonic for the blood
and nerves is needed.
A valuable booklet, Diseases of the
Blood" containing fuller information
about rheumatism and other diseases oi
the blood will be sent free upon request.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on re.
ceipt of price, so cents per box; si1
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. William

CHAPTER xxxn.
Hand to Hand.

The faint gray light of early dawn
rested upon the outside world, and
through the fleeting shadows of the
mist I was able to distinguish much
which before had been shrouded by
the black curtain. In front of the
window where l rested, the grass
covered lawn sloped gradually down
ward until it terminated at a low
picket fence, thickly covered with
vines. A great variety of shrubs,
which during the night had doubtless
afforded shelter for sharpshooters,
dotted this grass plot, while beyond
the fence boundary stood a double row
of large trees. To the far left of our
position the burnt stable yet smol-
dered duly, occasionally sending up a
shower of sparks as a draught of air
famed the embers, but there were few
signs of life visible. For the moment
! even hoped our enemies might have
grown discouraged and withdrawn.

his own officers. "They were there

there is a squad of them o huddled
together back Of where the stable

Screw your eye close to the cor.

"and see what you make out toward
the front Of the house."

to me mighty like the end of a line of
battle, right there by that big mag
