A WOMAN’S BURDEN.

From the Evening Newe f Detroit. Mich. The women of to-day are not as strong Ma their grandmothers. They are bearing a burden in silence that grows heavier day by day; that is sapping their vitality and clouding their happiness. Mrs. Alexander B. Clark, of 417 Mich- * n ® Tenue r Detroit, is a typical woman of to-day. Suffering as thousands of her sisters have suffered, she almost despair-

ed of life and yet she was cured. "For five years J, Buffered with ovarian trouble,” is Mrs. Clark’s own version of the story. “I was not free* one single day from headaiffie and Intense twitching pains in my neck and shoulders. For months at a time I would b e confined- to my bed. At times black spots

would appear before my eyes and 1 would become blind. My nerves were in such a state that a step on the floor unsettled me. “Eminent doctors, skillful nurses, the best food and medicine all failed. Then I consented to an operation. That, too, failed and they said another was necessary. After the second I was much worse. “It was then I heard of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. I beard that they had cured cases like mine and 1 tried them. “They cured me! They brought sunshine to my life and filled my cup with happiness. The headache is gone; the twitching is gone; the nervousness i.c gone; the trembling has ceased, and I have gained twenty-six pounds. Health and strength is mine and I am thankful to Dr. Williams’ Pink Fills for Pale People for the blessing.” These pills are a boon to womankind. Acting directly on the blood and nerves, they restore the requisite vitality to all parts of the body; creating functional regularity and perfect harmony throughout the nervous system. The pallor of the cheeks is changed to the delicate blush of health; the eyes brighten; the muscles grow elastic, ambition is created and good health returns.

I became blind.
