pieces OF furniture The loss 20 Mr.
Bentley is particularly unfortunate as
ne has a family of four children. and

CAUSED BY THIN BLOOD

Many people think they have kidney trouble because they have backache but more backache is caused by overstrained and undernourished muscles than by anything else. In such cases the blood needs building up.
 Many rheumatic people suffer pains that could be avoided by building up the blood. When rheumatism is associated with thin blood the rheumatism cannot be cured to stay cured until the blood is built up.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills build up the blood and sufferers from backache would do we'll to try this treatment before giving way to worry over a fancied organic dis ease. Rest and the tonic treatment with Dr. Williams Pink Pills will correct most forms of backache, even rheumatic.
 For people who work too hard or dance too much and sleep too little, better habits and course of treatment with Dr. Will lams' Pink Pills are all that is needed to drive away the pains and aches that are warnings of coming breakdown.
 Two books, Building Up the Blood' and Nervous Disorders" will be sent free, if you are interested, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y. You can get Dr. Williams Pink Pills at the nearest drug store or by mail, postpaid, on receipt of price,50 cents per box; six boxes, $2.5O.
