WAS NERVOUS
AND BL00DLESS
A Well Known Lowell Man
Tells How He Found Just the
Right Remedy

1t is impossible to recover from a
nervous breakdown until the blood is
built up because the nerves depend
on the blood for their nourishment.
Thin blood means weak nerves and
the two are more often found in COM
bination than not.
People who do not find sleep refresh
ing, who are pale and thin and who
do not enjoy their meals will profit
by reading the following honest state
ment of a remarkable recovery after
years of suffering.
About four years ago l had an at
tack of the grip" says Mr.. William
H. MARVEL, of No. SO Chestnut street.
Lowell, Mass, land it left me in a
weak condition. That, together with
overwork brought on nervous
trouble. | tried several remedies and
medical treatment with little or no
benefit.
Il could not stand any noise. 1t
was impossible to get a good nights
rest, my appetite failed and often !
would get up from the table without
eating anything. My blood was thin.

color Ny limbs and feet were cold
even on hot day and ] had cold
chills.
Finally I got box of DR.. Will
liams Pink Pills and before l finished
it l commenced to improve. My ap-
petite returned and | felt stronger IN
every way. | continued, their use
and the pills certainly worked a great
change. | have good color and can
work every day. l feel strong and
well again.
Il think that it is my duty to let
people know what DR.. Williams Pink
Pills have done for me for ] thought
would never get any better"
Mr.. MARVEL is a jewelry salesman
and is we'll known in Lowell. His ex-
perience is typical of that Of hun
dreds who have found health and
after other treatment had fail I'd.
These pills build up the nerves in the
only possible way. by enriching the
blood with the elements the nerves
need. The treatment is one of nu-
triton of the nerve cells. requiring a
non alcoholic tonic and DR.. Williams
Pink Pills have proved useful in SO
many severe cases that every sufferer
is justified in giving them a trial for
any form Of nervous debility. They
contain no opiate or harmful drug.
There has been no increase in the
price Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

The coinage of two-cent pieces is
to be resumed if the bill introduced
by Senator William Alden Smith of
Michigan becomes a law. No limit is
put in the bill on the number of such
coins to be minted. 1t is specifcal-
ly provided that all laws relating to
the minor coins of the United States
shall apply to the two-cent pieces.
The designs are to be furnished by
the Director of the Mint, subject to
the approval of the Secretary Of the
Treasury. Senator Smith believes
that the new currency will prove a
great convenience under present con-
ditions, when unusual price figures,
admission fees. etc. call for such a
coin. And why not seven-cent
piece for trolley fares?

Bath, with but one dissenting vote
in its city government, has decided
to expend the 100000 asked BY the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, on
permanent improvements upon land,
on which the Corporation will erect
homes for Bath workers, says the
Times. The Times believes, that in
taking this action, the city govern
ment has acted as the majority of
citizens desired and in addition has
acted promptly. Bath wants to grow,
is growing and will continue to grow
and big problems which the city must
face should be met promptly and de-
cisively. The city government has
done its part, now it is up to the
Emergency Fleet Corporation to go
ahead and carry out its building pro-
gram as outlined last week. No
charge of delaying satisfactory action
can be brought against Bath in this
matter.
