IMPOVERISHED BLOOD
The Remedy Thnt Mnlcps New Blood
Banishes Weakness Ilcudachcs In
digestion and Nervous Troubles
Hundreds of women suffer from Lead
Holies dizziness restlessness languor
and timidity Few realize that their
misery all comes from the bad state of
their blood They take one thing for
their head another for their stomach
u third for their nerves and yet all the
while it is simply their poor blood that
is the cause of their discomfort
If one sure remedy for making good
rich blood were used every one of their
distressing ailments would disappear as
thoy did in the case of Mrs Ella P
Stone who had been ailing for years and
was completely rnn down before bhe re
alized the naturo of her trouble
For several years paid Mrs Stone
I suffered from general debility It
began about 1896 with indigestion ner
vousness and steady headaches Up to
1900 1 hadnt been able to find any relief
Irom this condition I was then very
I hin and bloodless An enthusiastic
friend who had used Dr Williams Pink
Pills urged me to give them a trial and
E finally bought a box
I did not notice any marked change
From the use of tho first box but I de
termined to give them a fair trial and I
kept on When I had finished tho
second box I could see very decided signs
if improvement in my condition I be
gan to feel better all over and to have
hopes of a complete cure
I used in all eight or ten boxes and
when stopped I had got back my regu
lar weight and a good healthy color and
the gain has lasted I can eat what I
please without discomfort My nervous
ness is entirely gone and while I had
constant headaches before I very rarely
have ono now I cheerfully recommend
Dr Williams Pink Pills to women who
suffer as I did
Mrs Stone was seen at her pretty
home in Lakewood R I where as tho
result of her experience Dr Williams
Pink Pills are very popular These fa
mous pills are sold by all druggists A

The Cunning Fox
The wolf hates the fox Accord
ing to the Iroquois Indians this is
why One cold wintry day a fox
who was prowling about looking to
see where he might setal a dinner
saw a wagon coming It was loaded
with fish and was driven by some
fishermen who were taking home
their days catch Ah ha said the
cunning fox Here comes my din
ner And he fell down the pretended
to be dead The fishermen seeing
him picked him up and threw him
into the wagon among the fish
Then the fox slyly threw out some
fish and when the fishermen were
not looking jumped off himself and
made off with the fish he had thrown
out Pretty soon afterward he met a
wolf who said I am hungry I
guess I will eat you for my dinner
But the fox said Would you rather
not have fish for dinner The wolf
replied that upon the whole he
thought he would prefer fish
Then the cunning fox told him of
the trick by which he had just got
his dinner and advised him to try it
The wolf was pleased with the idea
so he ran through the woods and
headed off the team which the fisher
men were driving falling down in
the road before it and pretending to
be dead
But the fishermen who had by this
time discovered the trick the fox had
played upon them instead of tailing
him into the wagon beat him with
clubs so that he barely escaped with
his life And on a hillside near by
sat the fox who laughed and laughed
Dog Tongs
Preserved in the cathedral of Ban
gor Wales is a pair of old dog
tongs which were used for ejecting
quarrelsome dogs from church during
service A similar pair is preserved
at Llanynys Wales and bears numer
ous teeth marks
One trouble with most of our re
forms is that we are more anxious to
remove the things that offend our
taste than we are to get rid of those

Battle Creek Sanitarium
Battle Creek What memories that
name conjures up memories of other
days even the pioneer days when the
redmen of the northern lake region
bent the bow and smeared their faces
with keal braided their flowing locks
with feathers of the porcupine and
wild eagle that they might appear
more wild if possible than before
And as they painted the cheeks and
braided the hair the squaw women
sharpened the flint arrow heads and
shaped new bows that their lords
might do battle to the death with
other redmen
And here at Battle Creek way up
in Michigan a great battle one day
did occur and when it was over and
j the sun kissed the range to the far
ft est the tom toms were munled and
the squaw women wrapped their heads
in vari colored blankets and wept for
with the going down of the sun many
braves passed to the proverbial happy
hunting grounds
But that was many many moons
ago as the Indians measure time and
a new era has long since dawned
True it is Battle Creek to day just
as it was decades ago but instead of
the cry of the savage is heard the
hum of industry tho throb of life
the greeting of men and women of
the Anglo Saxon race the shouts of
happy boys and girls who know of
Battle Creeks former history only
by tradition And here on the site
of the famous battle between the red
men stands now one of the fairest
cities of the great Northwest a city
sought out among thousands for in it
dwell month after month as the
years come and go men and women
who find within the charmed circle
that which they have long sought else
where health
When one speaks of health the
mind naturally wings itself to Battle
Creek for up there health is to be
found as at few other places on earth
Forty years ago there began in Bat
tle Creek a return to nature move
ment with purposes and pricinples in
many respects similar to those which
led to the famous Brook Farm Exper
iment twenty years before and to the
Grahamite movement of that period
This movement while religious was
avowedly non sectarian and was in a
broad sense philanthropic altruistic
and reformatory The immediate re
sults were the establishment of a
monthly journal now known as Good
Health and shortly afterwards the
erection of a health institution called
The Health Reform Institute The
chief features of the institute at this
early period were diet reform dress
reform and the use of water as a cura
tive agent
In 1S7G the present management
took charge of the institution and with
the consent and co operation of the
Board of Directors the institution
having been incorporated ten years
before a thorough reorganization was
effected Broader plans were intro
duced the methods of treatment were
placed upon a substantial and thor
oughly scientific foundation and the
name was changed to the Battle Creek
Sanitarium Since this time the
growth of the institution has been con
stant and rapid
From year to jear accommoda
tions for patients and facilities for
treatments were enlarged to meet
the increasing patronage until Feb
ruary 1902 when a great fire swept
away the two principal build
ings of the establishment The erec
tion of a new building was speedily
begun and the following year May 31
1903 the present fireproof main build
ing erected at a cost of more than
000000 was dedicated The cost of
the entire establishment including
equipment twenty dormitories cot
tages and other buildings has amount
ed to more than 1200000
The Battle Creek Sanitarium as it
stands to day is recognized the world
over as the most complete and thor
oughly equipped establishment of its
sort and the headquarters for physio
logic therapeutics or natural methods
Connected with the Sanitarium is a
Training School for Nurses in which
from two to three hundred nurses are
constantly under training
These principles and methods have
penetrated to the remotest parts of
the civilized world and scores of men
and women who have been trained in
these methods are devoting their lives
to medical missionary work in heathen
lands
The Battle Creek Sanitarium may be
regarded as an epitome of the return-to-nature
idea in practical operation
Its success in the restoration of sick
people to health brings to it annually
many thousands of men and women
many of whom have been pronounced
incurable but who nevertheless with
rare exceptions return a few months
later to their homes prepared to enter
again upon the battle of life
There are many sanitariums In the
world but few if ary that are con
ducted on the same plane as that at
Battle Creek This haven of rest and
health is in no sense a money-making
scheme and every cent that is
made from patients who are able to
pay for their accommodations is used
to help those who have nothing but
broken health All over this country
and even beyond the seas branch in
stitutions are springing up creepers
from the mother plant at Battle
Creek One point in view is down on
State street in the center of the me
tropolis of the Middle West Chicago
where hundreds of the citys poor are
cared for as tenderly as if in the par
ent institution at Battle Creek
In a few brief paragraphs one can
tell but little of the good work of the
Battle Creek Sanitarium but a postal
card will bring pamphlets that will
tell all all except the knowledge ob
tained by actual experience and that
exDrioTi nt be had at Battle
Creek to bo appreciated to its full
worth
This institution at Battle Creek was
not built up in a day It took years
of toil to reach tho perfected state
and the work has but begun the great
work Is to come from rising genera
tions who are imbibing idnas from the
Battle Creek home and what It stands
for
For Three Decades
For more than three decades tho
present institution has been the
center of a wonderful educa
tional philanthropic and reform
movement which has finally culmin
ated in success undreamed of a few
years ago and in this connection a
brief history is most opportune In
February 1902 the two main buildings
of the Sanitarium were destroyed by
fire For a short time the days were
dark for those who had worked so
hard to build it up But strong hearts
are not to be awed by misfortune
and a new building sprung from the
ashes upon the old site
The dedication took place May 31
and June 1 1903 An elaborate pro
gram was carried out and many men
of national reputation made speeches
and highly complimented the managers
and their co workers on their good
work Invitations were sent to all
patients rich and poor who had ever
been at the Sanitarium Many re
sponded in person and hundreds sent
letters of regret
One of the prettiest sights in con
nection with the whole event was tho
procession of nurses and matrons
which formed on the college grounds
opposite the new Sanitarium building
and marched through the audience to
reserved seats at the right and left
of the speakers stand The matrons
in their usual cream white uniform
the nurses in blue and white and the
gentlemen nurses clad in new white
duck suits presented a sight which
movel the audience to one simultan
eous burst of applause
Sanitary Ideas
As before stated there are many
sanitariums in the world but none
just like that at Battle Creek it being
the first of tne kind so far as known
where an attempt has been made and
crowned with success to bring to
gether in one place and under one
management all rational healing
agencies giving special prominence
to those physiological or natural heal
ing agents the scientific knowledge of
which has been chiefly developed
within the last century especially
hyprotherapy electrotherapy mas
sage exercise diet sunlight mental
and moral influences rest and gen
eral health culture
Of course the first thing to be taken
into consideration was the construc
tion of the building to be occupied
for much depended upon that But
after it had been discussed pro and
con a plan entirely satisfactory was
adopted and the structure to day plays
no small part in the healing process
that goes on from day to day at
Battle Creek
A Return to Nature Movement
The philosophy of the Battle Creek
Sanitarium may be defined as the return-to-nature
idea The doctors teach
the use of natural foods natural life
the use of natural agents in the treat
ment of disease A great amount of
attention is given to dietetics Fruits
nuts and nut preparations cereal foods
and easily digestible vegetables are
the basis for the delicious menus
which are daily served in the great
Sanitarium dining room at which sit
down hundreds of intelligent nen and
women from all parts of the United
States and een from foreign coun
tries Milk eggs and other dairy prod
ucts are also freely used Great care
is taken to provide the very best and
choicest of everything edible of which
the physicians approve
During the year which has just
closed a vast amount of these things
were required to provide for the army
of patients who visited the sanitarium
for several thousand sufferers housed
there during the twelve months of
1904 As to the expanse for the past
year it was considerable amounting to
a total of 3271S99 divided as fol
lows Nut foods 50 tons 2o76880

The amount of charity dispensed

To care for the patients an average of
