NERVOUS HEADACHE.
And Numbness in the Hands and
Arms.
This Iowa Woman Was In Serious
Condition and Her Cure
-Will interest MANY

A cure Of unusual interest and i'm
portance Is related by Mrs. ]. H. Nor
gan, Of Correctionville, Iowa. After
being a hopeless sufferer from sick
headaches, she Is now entirely free
from attacks. She tells of her cure
by DR.. Williams Pink Pills, as follows:
Some years ago was in a terribly
nervous and rundown condition and
suffered greatly from nervous head
aches. / was treated for three months
by a specialist in Chicago, who advised
me to wear glasses, but he did not
would burst, and had frequent dizzy
spells. l was in despair of getting
well until / read about DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and began
taking them. A few boxes cured me
and since then have used them as a
family medicine.
Before the birth Of my last child
suffered untold agony with pain and
numbness in my hands and arms up to
the shoulders. My hands were so
swollen and the muscles SO sore that
could hardly dress myself. For time
could not close my left hand. During
the day if / kept moving the pain did
not seem to be 80 bad, but my hands
were always numb. / again used DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
and found them good for this trouble
also, as they entirely relieved me-"
Unless properly treated sick head
ache is a disease of many years dura-
ton, as it occurs before the twentieth
year in two-thirds of the cases and re-
ours with more or less regularity until
the f1ftieth year or later. 1t is usually
hereditary and is probably directly
caused by a defect in the process
which changes the food we eat into
blood. Most sufferers are troubled
with obstinate constipation which
makes 1t necessary to use a laxative.
An ideal combination treatment Is
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie and the new laxative pills, Pink
lets. This treatment is fully described
in little booklet, "The Treatment Of
Sick Headache" which is free on re-
quest, together with a sample Of
Pinklets, the little laxative pills.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are for sale
at all druggists, or will be mailed to
any address, postpaid. on receipt Of
price, so cents per box; six boxes for

DEMoLlSHEs CARS NEAR THE
BRIDGE EARLY THIS
MORNING.

Passenger train No. l3 OF the South
Shore railroad, drawn by Engine '412
due here about six O'clock, ran into the
rear end OF an east-bound freight train
headed for Lake Linden. on the Min
eral Range track, at the junction OF
the tracks just west OF the county
bridge this morning, and demolished
two freight cars The engine of the
passenger train also was badly wreck
ed. the snow pillow being bent and
twisted the running board on the
right hand side of the engine splintered
and various parts of the metal work

the curve after leaving the bridge. The
freight train, consisting of about TWEEN

time going at n fair rate of speed
when the passenger crashed into the
two rear cars, one a Swift refrigera-
tor car and the other a box car con-
tanning grain. The former was knock
ed clear off the rear trucks, one end
of the car being completely shattered
The grain car was turned over on it's
side and badly splintered but was not
broken open.
Engineer Horlick, in charge OF No.
IS. said that the accident was due to
his being unable to see the freight on
account of steam and frost on the win
dows Of the engine cab. He could hear
the locomotive of the freight some dis
lance down the line and thought that
the train must have passed beyond the
intersection of the tracks.
