FAMED FOR ITS HOLY WELLS
City Of Benares, India, Place of
Peculiar Veneration for the
Devout Pilgrim.

and complying with the ceremonies
prescribed for those who would drink
from them.
Only the devout Indian pilgrim
would cure to drink of the sacred
wells, for custom says that flowers
must be flung into most Of them as
peace offerings. and these decayed
floral offerings tend TO make thu water
unfit for drinking. The British govern
ment did clean up some Of the most
holy and popular Of the wells IN the
interests of sanitation. But the Hin
docs We're not plensed They come
hundreds of miles to enjoy the benefits
of The holy water, taste, scent and all,
and they do not care to have Il tam
pered with.
The most holy of the wells is the
Well Of knowledge which stands near
Benares' most sacred shrine. the Col
den temple. and is said to be the dwell
ing place of Il very important god.
The most mysterious Is the Wei of
Fate. Any one who looks into the Well
of Fate exactly at noon and fails to see
his shadow Is said to he doomed to die
within six months. OF course, if the
silent prophecy is unfayorahIe, the
spirits can usually be bought off by
offerings at the temple conveniently
near by.

SICK HEADACHES

This Illinois Resident Was

the Treatment So Many
Recommended.
Recommended.

Victims Of sick headaches frequently
spend years experimenting with all
sorts OF pain deadening remedies IN
efforts TO find relief from torture. In
cases Of violent headache the stomach
is often upset, vomiting occurs, light
and noise add to the pain, loss Of
memory sometimes takes place and
the victim is forced TO take TO his bed.
Medical authorities, in treating at
tacks Of this kind, recommend that a
remedy should be used that VIII be d.
rected at the removal of the conditions
causing the attacks. The mere dead
ening of the pain BY drugs can give
only temporary release from pain and
VIII not guard against a recurrence Of
the attacks. These headaches are
caused, in a great many cases, by thin
blood which leaves the nerves under
nourished. A builder that restoues
tie hood and thus affords nourish-
ment for the starving blood viii bring
relief.
An ideal blood tonic that has brought
happiness to many people who had
