Is most attractive. Where the nursery
Is just ono largo room , It may be
furnished with a dinIng-table , desk ,

Creamed fowl surrounded with rIce ,

That Dr. Wl1l1ams' PInk P1lls win .

Is no speculation but the fact has been
proved In hundre s of cases similar
to that of 1\Irs. Sarah Ramsey , of 1008 I
St. John St. , Litchfield. Ill : She says .
"I never telt well after my first
chIld was born. I had 11 snawlng- pain
hi my stomnch and could not hold any
food down. My head ached a great
deal nnd sometimes the pain went all I
through my body. I had dizzy spells
so that I could nl't stantl and seemCt ! ' I
to be halt bllnded wIth pl1ln. These
spells would often last for over an
hour. My blood seemed to bo In 1\
very poor condition and my hands and
reet were like Ice. I seemed to bo
growing weaker and. wealwr and coula
not get around to o my worI , In
the house. I was extremely nervous \
nnd the least excitement would brIn ! ;
on a dizzy spell. I
"For a number of years I was under !
a doctor's care but scemed to get no
bctter. I had heard about Dr. WIl.
IIams' PInk Pllls and I began to talct
them. I soon felt beL tel' and gaIned
In weIght and .
