CONSTANT HEADACHES

People with thin blood are much more
subject to headaches than full-blooded
persons and the form of anemia that af-
tlicts growing girls is almost always ac-
companied by headache together with
digestive disturbances and constipation.
Whenever you have constant or re-
curing headaches and pallor OF the
face they show that the blood is thin and
your efforts should be directed towards
building up your blood. A treatment
with DIR. Williams Pink Pills will do
this effectively and the rich, red blood
will remove the headache.
More disturbances to health are
caused by thin blood than you have any
idea of. When the blood is impover-
ished the nerves suffer from lack of
nourishment and you may have in-
somnia, neurltis, neuralgia or sciatica.
Muscles subject to strain are UNDER
nourished and you may have muscular
rheumatism or rlumbago. Ii your blood
is thin and you begin to show symp-
toms of these disorders try building up
the blood with Dr. Williams Pink Pills

pear as the blood is restdfesi to normal.

war. leaving the demands of the Social
Democracy in allegiance until the coun-
try is safe from the danger of a return
of the monarchy. 1t says, in part:
THE program of the government is
satisfactory to a sufficient extent. The
present state of the Bourgeoisie and
the tn ecapitalistic society no doubt
precludes the possibility of changing
the present revolution into a social
one. Anyone in that direction might
precipitate a counter revolution and
bring about a return of the monarchy.
me necessary democratic control

can be achieved best by participation
in the temporary administration of
representatives of the workmen's
democracy and a wide and stable or
ganlzation of the popular forces and
the army. We appeal to the work.
men, soldiers and deputies to assist
the temporary government in the
reallzation OF program of freedom
and in the preparation for the national
convention, keeping at the same time
their full political independence. Only
when the election for the national con-
vention shall beegin shall we present

social reforms"

ration said

would bring ruin and reinstate the old
regime. 1t is necessary now, more
than ever before. to continue the
struggle against the last bulwark of
monarchical control in Europe"
