WOMAN’S HEROISM.

From the Register-Gazett", Rockford, HL I During the Civil War nearly as much heroism was shown by the women of our nation as by the brave soldiers. Many a woman, weeping for her dead son, bound up the wounds of his suffering comrades,

r e j oi cing in their s t r e ngth, " even while sorrowin g "for the one §)W h o w a s "gone. At «that time, was laid , the foundation for the world-

famed organization known as the Woman’s Relief Corps. One of the most earnest members of the corps at Byron, JIL, is Mrs. James Houseweart, but illness once put a stop to her active work. A year or so ago, when she was nearly fifty years of age, the time when women must b'e more careful of their strength, Mrs. Houseweart was taken seriously ill. The family physician told her that she had reached a critical period of her life, and must be very careful. His prescriptions and treatment did not benefit her, and other treatment proved unavailing. At last Dj*. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People were brought to her notice, with indisputable evidence that they were helpful in cases such as hers, and with renewed hope she tried the remedy. Last March she took the first box of the pills, which gave much relief. She was determined to be cured, and kept on with the medicine, until now eight boxes have been consumed, and she feels like a new woman. Mrs. Houseweart said: “I have taken only eight boxes, but I have been improving since I took the first dose. 1 I do not believe I could have lived without the pills. They certainly have done me more rood than any physician or any medicine I have ever tried.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk) at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all druggists, or direct by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Schnee* tady, N. Y.
