WHAT TO DO FOR NEURALGIA

The one great symptom of neuralgia
is pain; the one great cause is lack of
nutrition for the nerves, in plain Ian
guage-starved nerves.
There are two things to do for any
form of neuralgia. Apply heat to the
affected part to soothe the pain, and
feed the nerves by taking a tonic con-
tanning the elements needed by them.
Heat, as afforded by hot flannel, hot
water bags, ETC., lullsN the infiamed
nerves into temporary quiet. 1t does
not cure. Not until Nhe nutrition of
the nerves is restored will the inf1am-
nation subside.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills furnish to
the blood the needed elements and
the blood conveys them to the nerves.
The only way of getting food or medi-
cine to the nerves is through the
blood. Remember that.
Neuralgia is general term. 1t
means Inflammation of a nerve. 1t is
given different names according to the
nerve affected. Sciatica is neuralgia of
the sciatic nerve. Application of heat
will soothe the pain in all forms of
neuralgia and DR.. Williams Pink Pills
will correct the condition that caused it.
Your own druggist sells DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills and the DIR. Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, n. Y, will
send you little book on Home Treat
ment of Nervous Disorders for the
asking. ng.--Advcrtisement.

The finishing touches in the placing
Of Marysville's handsome new public
water fountain took place on Saturday
afternoon. Although the work is all
completed, water will not be turned
into the fountain until Spring, on ac-
count of the danger of freezing. I'M
pressive dedication exercises will be
held at that time.
The fountain Is twelve feet in
height, with a large globe on top, in
Which an electric light has been
placed. The fountain has drinking re-
ceptacles for dogs and horses, and q

of man. The bowl for dogs is seen

Pure mountain water, piped from
the reservoir of the Marysville Water
Company, at Lambs Gap, four miles
west of Marysville, will be furnished
for the fountain, free of charge, for
ninety-nine years, by the company.
public fountain has been one of
Marysville's greatest needs for many
years. Through the hot summer days
OF next summer, the weary traveller,
refreshed by drink Of pure, cool
water, will breathe many thanks to
Jacob D. Carmichael, Marysville's
street commissioner, through whom
the purchase and placing of the foun-
tain was made possible. He first
thought of Marysville's great need and
set out to secure money for the pur-
chase of the fountain. In the securing
of the necessary contributions, Mr..
Carmichael put in eight weeks at hard
work. Jake" as he is Familiarity
called, deserves great credit from all
the towns residents, for the work he
has done for "A Bigger and Better

that he wasn't opposed to the reso-

hadn't passed an ordinance prohibit

knew of no ordinance against it, he
said, although he believed Council
once made a rule prohibiting this.

ferred by him to the old Council were
refused action. He didn't recollect, he
said, that such permission had been
granted.
