Now. while his proportions may not

And whatever may come of his plans
the very important fact remains to be
considered that by denying himself

independence: also toward keeping
prices nearer normal. Those who
follow the hue and cry and buy be-

need, buy without any knowledge of

NEURALGIA CAUSED
MONTHS OF MISERY

Days and nights of pain are only a
memory now for Mrs. d. J. Small, of
No. lat South street, Biddeford, Me-
Seeing her today it is hard to be-
lieve that only few months ago she
was on the verge of invalidism from
neuralgia.
When seen in her home Mrs. Small
was very willing to tell about her ex-
Iperience, especially. when it was
pointed out to her that others might
be spared suffering by learning how
she had overcome the disease.
What was the cause of your ILL
ness?" Mrs. Small was asked.
Il had suffered from indigestion
for nearly twelve years." she an
swered. land my physician said that
these attacks caused weakening of
the blood and left the way open for
neuralgia.
1.-The neuralgia pains were chiefly
in my head and I suffered for months
from terrible splitting headaches that
left me in an exhausted condition.
There We're also shooting and dart
ing pains through my head and back
and my eyes became affected. I was
very weak and lost interest in every
thing about me. l was so nervous
that little things upset me-"
Did you take any medicine?" her
visitor asked.
"Medicine!" she exclaimed. TT
seemed as though I tried everything
Some things seemed to help me for
a while but the effect was only tenn
porary.
my mother always had great faith
in Dr. Williams Pink Pills and it was
through her that I was induced to
try them. BY this time I was very
discouraged and took the pills more
to please her than from any belief
that they would be Of any benefit.
Great was my surprise to find that
DR.. Williams Pink Pills were help
ing me after a short time con-
tinued the treatment and gradually
the pains grew less and finally dis
appeared entirely. My blood is rich
