A large DELAY WOULD HAVE BEEN FATAL IN niSS GOODWIN'S CASE. THERE WAS CONSUMPTION IN THE FAM ILY AND SHE SEEMED TO HAVE IN HERITED A TENDENCY TO IT. "My mother died of consumption five vears ago," said Miss Johannah Goodwin, of Northbridge, Mass., "and I thought I was going into the same disease. I believe I would have done so but for Dr Williams' Pink Pills for pale people. "My complexion had turned pale and yellow and I was ghastly looking. I was so weak I could not dress myself without sitting down to rest a few times and often when I walked a short distance, or even stooped over, pains shot through my back. I was short of breath and often dizzy, my food did not digest properly and my heart was very irregular. There was a noise in my head that nearly drove me crazy. I would hold my hands tight over my ears but still it would not stop, and some- times I could hardly see. I grew thin- ner and weaker and was afraid and nearly certain I was going to die. "One day a friend advised me to try Dr Williams' Pink Pills and I did so. They helped me before one boxjwas used up and in less than two months I was well and strong again, entirely cured.'' The disease from which Miss Good- win suffered was ansemia or "blood-lessnes- s" and is causediby an actual de- ficiency of the blood and a watery and depraved state of that fluid. It is characterized by a pallid complexion, pale lips, dull eyes, tongue and gums bloodless, shortness of breath on slight exertion especially upen going up- stairs; palpitation of the heart; feeling of impending death; weakness, loss of appetite and ambition. If left to it- self it is apt to result in decline or death. The one remedy that has proved it- self a specific for this disease is Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. These pills will never fail to effect a cure if used presistently for a reason- able length of time. At all druggists or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50c per box; six boxes for $2.50. Ad- dress the Dr Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. water volunteered a few remarks. -- "Worthy Master Vincent spoke on the tobacco question. A song closed the lecturer's hour, when all dispersed to their several homes much pleased with the perseverence of the members of Pomona No. 10; MRS SETH MONROE. Mary Merchant Monroe, aged 36, wife of Seth Monroe of Southv Kent, died of scarlet fever at her home on Friday, March 20, and was buried Saturday, in the Congregational cemetery at Kent.

Two of the children are sick with scarlet fever, but are out of danger and on the road to recovery. WHAT THE MACEDONIA REPORTER WRITES. Mrs W. H. Peters has been in quite poor health lately.

To use an eighteenth century phrase, this is an "o'er true tale." Having happened in a small Virginia town in the winter of 1902, it is a story very much of the present. Up to a short time ago Mrs John E. Harmon of Melfa Station, Va., had no personal knowledge of the rare curative prop- erties of Chamberlain's Cough Rem- edy. "Last January," she says, "my baby took a dreadful cold and at one time I feared she would have pneumo- nia, but one of my neighbors told me how this remedy had cured her little Jey, and I began giving it to my baby ana it soon curea ner. 1 neurniy thank the manufacturers of Chamber- lain's Cough Remedy for placing so great a cure within my reach. I can- not recommend it too highly or say too much in its favor. I hope all who read this will try it and be convinced as I was." For sale by R. H.

DELAY WOULD HAVE BEEN FATALIN niSS GOODWIN'S CASE.

THERE WAS CONSUMPTION IN THE FAM

ILY AND SHE SEEMED TO HAVE INHERITED A TENDENCY TO IT.

"My mother died of consumptionfive vears ago," said Miss JohannahGoodwin, of Northbridge, Mass., "andI thought I was going into the samedisease. I believe I would have doneso but for Dr Williams' Pink Pills forpale people.

"My complexion had turned pale andyellow and I was ghastly looking. Iwas so weak I could not dress myselfwithout sitting down to rest a fewtimes and often when I walked a shortdistance, or even stooped over, painsshot through my back. I was short ofbreath and often dizzy, my food did notdigest properly and my heart was veryirregular. There was a noise in myhead that nearly drove me crazy. Iwould hold my hands tight over my earsbut still it would not stop, and some-times I could hardly see. I grew thin-ner and weaker and was afraid andnearly certain I was going to die.

"One day a friend advised me to tryDr Williams' Pink Pills and I did so.They helped me before one boxjwas usedup and in less than two months I waswell and strong again, entirely cured.''

The disease from which Miss Good-win suffered was ansemia or "blood-lessnes- s"

and is causediby an actual de-ficiency of the blood and a watery anddepraved state of that fluid. It ischaracterized by a pallid complexion,pale lips, dull eyes, tongue and gumsbloodless, shortness of breath on slightexertion especially upen going up-stairs; palpitation of the heart; feelingof impending death; weakness, loss ofappetite and ambition. If left to it-self it is apt to result in decline ordeath.

The one remedy that has proved it-self a specific for this disease is DrWilliams' Pink Pills for Pale People.These pills will never fail to effect acure if used presistently for a reason-able length of time. At all druggistsor sent, postpaid, on receipt of price,50c per box; six boxes for $2.50. Ad-dress the Dr Williams Medicine Co.,Schenectady, N. Y.
