Most general debility results from
thin blood. Every part of the body
suffers and you feel badly all over.

color in checks and lips.
Do Not Neglect Thin Blood.

more dangerous than in anemia. or
poverty of the blood. 1t is common
in young girls and persons who are
overworked or confined within doors
and makes its approach in so stealthy
a manner that it is often well de-
veloped before its presence is recog-

cific, a tonic medicine which increases

Most people who have but small
reserve of strength feel better IN
summer than in winter. The vitality
gained during the out door season
carries them through the trying
weather of winter and early spring
until there comes a time when the
stored-up reserve strength is not suf-
ficient.
How, then, shall we keep and add
to the reserve strength that means

Ito strengthen and sustain the system
so that it can keep all the strength
that it has gained and gain more.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills build up the
blood and enable it to carry nourish-
ment to every part of the body. Many
disorders that have proved stubborn
for years have been reached by this
tonic treatment.

! When Tonic Is Needed.
When YOU feel badly all over but
with no particular organ Of your body
noticcably out of order, YOU need a
tonic for the blood. You require a
medicine that will benefit the whole
system. The blood reaches every
part of the body and when 1t is built
UP the whole system quickly bene-
fits.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills are nom
alcoholic tonic that build up the
blood, making it rich and red and
able to supply to the tissues Of the
body the nourishment they need to
keep them in health.

Why Good Blood Is Red.
Why are we continually being told
that good blood must be bright red?
What has color to do with the quail
ity? Just this. The oxygen in the
air is the great supporter of animal
life. One business of the blood is to
take oxygen from the air (Which it
meets in the lungs) and deliver it to
the tissues of the body. When the
blood filled with life sustaining oxy-
gen, is sent out by the heart 1t Is
bright red When it returns, filled
with impurities. and deprived of it's
oxygen. it is dark.
From this it is clear that there are
two prime requisites of health, pure
air and bright red blood-the pure air
to furnish the oxygen. the rich blood
to carry it where it is needed. DR..
Williams Pink Pills make the blood
rich and red because they increase its
power to carry oxygen, actually MAX
ing it so much more able to carry IN
creased life and strength to every or
gan of the body.

Electric Sleep The Latest.

Electric sleep is to be the great
boon Of nerve-disordered humanity If
the expectations of DIR. F .Nagel-
schmidt of the Berlin Finsen institute
are realized. Some years ago Doctor
Leduc produced sleep in animals by
applying continuous electric currents
TO the base Gf the brain, but the cur
rents necessary were near the danger
point, and the claim Of Doctor Nagel-
schmidt is an improved method, using
a special alternating current giving
narcotic effects without exceeding, OF
even nearly approaching, the limit OF
safety. II appears that not only can
the number of volts, milliampereS and
alterations t. fixed a. needed, but
that the time the current will flow
can b. predetermined al well. UNI
consciousness is produced quickly
Weakening follows in a minute or two
after the current ceases, and the al.
ternating current not only relieves. in
somnia, but it has other useful effects
speedily overcoming neuralgia pains
and giving particularly a harmless
means of controlling the violent in-
sane without the straitjacket. The
electric sleep can b. deepened so Is
to give painless execution of criminals
or slaughterfng of animals.

gress, from now until the 4th of next

position and ability to creditably re-
present this district, is conceded.
The Republican Convention met

VIII give two Republican candidates

also unnecessary il Mr. Hull is a
proper person to represent our peo-
