Mothers who have young daughters of ichool age should watch their health more carefully than their utudies. The proper development of their body is of the first iinportance. After the confinement of tlie school room, plenty of out-of-door exercise should be taken. It is better that their children never learn their a, b, e's, than that by learning them they lose their health. But all this is self-evident. Everyone odmits it - everyone knows it, but everyone does not know liow to build them up when once they are broken down. The following method of one mother, if rightly applied, may save your daughter : The young lady was Miss Lucy Barnes, the fifteen-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Barnes, who lives near Burney, Ind. She is a bright young lady, is fond of books, although lier progress in this line has been considerably retarded by the considerable araount of sickness she has experienced. She has missed two years of school on account of her bad health, but now she will be able to pursue her studies, since her health has been restored. Her father was talking of her case to a newspaper man one day recently. "My daughter has had a very serious time of it," said Mr. Barnes, "but now we are al) happy to know that she is getting along all right and Is stronger thau ever." Asked to relate the story of his daughter, Mr. Barnes continued: "About three years ago, when she was twelve years old, she began to grow weak and nervous. It was, of course, a delicate age for her. She gradually grew weaker and her nerves were at such a tensión that the least little noise would irrítate her very much, and she was very miserable. There was a continua! twitching in the arms and lower limbs, and we were afraid that she was going to develop St. Vitus' dance. " She kept getting worse and finally we had to take her from her school and her studies. She was strong and healthy before, weighing eighty-five pounds, and in three as months she had dwindled to sixty-thre pounds. She was thin and palé, aud was almost lifeless. We did everything we could f'or her, and tried all the doctors who we thought could do her any good, but without result. "There was an old family friend near Milford who had a daughter afflicted the same way, and she was cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pilis for Pale People. They came here one day to spend Sunday, and they told üs about their daughter's case. It was very much like Lucy's, and they advised us to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pilis for her. We had no faith in them, but were finally persuaded to try the pilis. We have never been sorry for it. They helped her at once, and by the time she had taken eight boxes of the medicine she was entireïy cured. Shetook the last dose in April, and has not been bothered since. She is now stronger than ever, weighs ten pounds more than ever before, and her cheeks are full of color. She can now gratify her am bition to study and become an educated woman." Those who are in a position to know, state that Dr. Williams' Pink Pilis for Pale People is not a patent medicine but a prescription used for many y ears by an eminent practitioner who produced the most wonderful results with them, curing all forms of weakness arising from a watery condition of the blood or shattered nerves, two fruitful causes of almost every ill to which flesh is heir. The pills are also a specific for the troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, all forms of weakness, chronic constipation, bearing down pains, etc, and in the case of men will give speedy relief and effect a permanent cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork, or excesses of whatcver nature. They are entireiy harmless and can be given to weak and sickly children with the greatest good and without the slightest danger. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receijt of price, 50 cents a box or six boxea for $2.50 (they are never sold in bulk or by the 100), by addressing Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
