The sun rose and lighted a landscape not ;nal pains. pie are manufactured by the Dr. Williams'
yet touched with faintest shade of green, 'Carman, druggist, Morrisburg, writes : Medicine Co., of Brockville., Ont., and
Schenectady, N.Y., a firm of unquestioned
reliability. Pink Pills are not looked on as
a patent medicine but rather as a prescrip-
tion. An analysis of their properties shows
that these pills are an unfailing specific
for all diseases arising from an impover-
ished condition of the blood, or from an im-
pairment of the nervous system, such as
toss of appetite, depression of spirits, an-
emia, chlorosis or green sickness, general
muscular weakness, dizziness, loss of mem-
ory, locomotor ataxia, paralysis, sciatica,
rheumatism, St. Vitus' dance, the after ef-
fects of la grippe, all diseases depending
upon a vitiated conditionof the blood, such
as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They
are also a specific for the troubles peculiar
to the female system, correcting irregular-
ities, suppressions and all forms of female
weakness, building anew the blood and re-
storing the glow of health to pale and sal-
low cheeks. In the case of men they effect
a radical cure in all cases arising from men-
tal worry, over work or excesses of any
nature. These pills are not a purgative
medicine. They contain only life- giving
properties, and nothing that could injure
the most delicate system. They act direct-
ly on the blood supplying, its life-giving
qualities, by assisting it to absorb oxygen,
that great supporter of all organic life. In
this way, the blood becoining "built up,"
and being supplied with its lacking consti-
tuents, becomes rich and red, nourishes
the various organs, stimulating them to
activity in the performance of their func-
tions and thus eliminate diseases from the
system.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold only in
boxes bearing the firm's trade mark and
wrapper, (printed in red ink). Bear in
mind that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are
never sold in bulk, or by the dozen or hun-
dred, and any dealer who offers substitutes
in this form is trying to defraud you and
should be avoided. The public are also
cautioned against all other so-called blood
builders and nerve tonics, put up in similar
form intended to deceive. They are all
imitations, whose makers hope to reap a
pecuniary advantage from the wonderful
reputation achieved by Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. Ask your dealer for Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale Peciple and refuse all im-
itations and substitutes.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills may be had of
all druggists, or direct by mail from Dr.
Williams' Medicine Company fram either
address, at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for
$2.50. The price at which these pills are
sold makes a course of treatment compara-
tively inexpensive as compared with other
remedies or medical treatment.

The advancing years seem to produce an
increase rather than a diminution in the
number of gigantic schemes. We have all
heard of the scheme for expending $40,000,

the succulent cocoanut on their own bleak
hillsides, while the Rhode Islanders would
offer scant encouragement to the peripat-
etic Italian banana vender, as each and
all of them would have a banana tree in
close proximity to his own back porch.
A more recent scheme is the bridging of
the English Channel between Dover and
Calais. It is said that this scheme has gone
so far that a company has been formed to
secure the necessary concessions from the
British and French governments . The cost
of this bridge is something like $240,000,-
000.
The latest scheme is one for roofing Lon-
