PATIENT GIVES ALL THE CREDIT TO DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS. Disease Had Attacked the Heart and Would Doubtless Have Been Fata! Had Right Remedy Not Been Taken. That Dr. Williams' Pink Pilis will cure neuralgia there is no room to doubt.

So many severe cases of this painful disease "have yielded to these pills that the sufTerer who is prevented bv nreindfcA frnm trrini fho rem edy deserves little sympathy. Anil there is no disease In which the pain Is more acute, more agonizing than in some forma of neuralgia. The disease is not only painful but dangerous as is uauie 10 auacK tne neart ween, unless speedily cured, it 13 frequently fatal. Mrs. Charles Sehnltz, of 179 Thomas street, Newark, N.

suffered for seven years with neuralgia which attacked her heart and which did not yield to tho usual remedies. The story of tho cure is best told in her own words. She savs: I had scarlet fever and It left me with a weak heart. Then I took cold and a severe pain settled in the region Of mv heart Mv suffering was almost beyond description. I could noi tain and tho pain caught me at every breath.

The awful pains would come on suddenly and I wnnin hnv to sit right down. I could not walk and would get dizzy for a time. "I was confined to bed for four weeks at one time and nothing seemod to do me any good. I was under a physician's oare for months. He nronounced mv trntihin mmniain of the heart and prescribed for me.

in" capsuies ne gave me relieved ma for a time but the pain came tack again. "Finally Dr. Williams'1 Pink Pllla were recommended to mo by a lady whose husband had been cured of paralysis by them and I deckled to give the piils a good trial. While I was on the second box I began to see an improvement, tho pains becaraa less frequent and at last I was entirely cured. This was some tlmo ago but I have bad no relapse and have been in good health ever 6lnce.

I think there la no medicine to equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." Neuralgia is the cry of the nerves for food. It means etarved nerves. Like every other part of the body thai nerves receive their nourishment through the blood. Dr.

Williams' Pink Pills actually make new blood which carries to the starved nerve the elements they need. So these pills cure neuralgia just as food cures hunger. They contain not one particle of opiate, morphine, cocaine or anything "soothing." They cure troubled nerves by removing the cause or tne trouble. In tho same wav Kv Vmii.Hn.r and enriching the blood, they have cured such diseases rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, St. Vitus' dance, stomach trouble, debility, paralysis, locomotor ataxia and the special ailments of women and growing srirls.

His business, and his disinclination to enter politics, he Bays, compel him tq make this statement, while there is time for the Democracy to select another good man.

THE EMPLOYMENT BUREAU DANGER "The free employment bureau would be a good thing If it were not for the fact that it is still more-likely than the paid bureau, to run into graft and politics," said Eugene Pet-ersberger, manager of the National Employment bureau today, discussing the free employment bureau bill now before the state legislature. "At best, only a moderate salary could bo paid to those in charge, and there would be apportunitles for graft and politics that it would be harder to keep the office free from than if tho bureau were run under the usual lines. If he Is so disposed, the manager of a paid employment bureau can do as much good as tho manager of a free one. All are glad to help the man who Is down and out, while the workman who has money had rather pay an employment bureau for a job, and be independent, than to depend on free bureaus. I believe wo are all right as we are." LENTEN SERVICES HAVE COMMENCED High Mass at Cathedral, With Sermon By Bishop Davis, Marked Ash Wednesday.
