SCIENCE HELPS YOU TO BB
YOUR OWN DOCTOR.
From the Krn, Bradford, Pa.
Too few people are acquainted with
the rapid advance of medical science,
and too mftny doctors are still plod
ding In the old paths. Once It comes to
pass that people know themselves, that
all physicians ars abreast of the
world’s knowle dge, much of our suf
fering will come to an end. Medical
scientists are not delving Into the
depths of knowledge for the mere ben
efit of brother physicians, hut for the
benefit of the world. They place In
the hands of the well man a means of
keeping well, In the hand* of the sick
man a means of recovery. To the par
ent they give the power of saving the
child, Helenee Is working for you—will
you accept the proffered help? X

was aggravated by an affection of the

found It almost Impossible to perform
her household duties.

icines." said Mrs, ftowend, "hut one
day last fall I read an article In a
newspaf cr which told of the cures ef
fected by f. r. Williams’ Pink Pill*, and
I decided to try the medicine. Before
I had taken the contents of one box 1
began to fee) better. The depressing
weakness whP’h had bothered me for
so many years began to disappear, and
the action of the heart at once be
came stronger and more regular.
