HEALTH REIGNS SUPREME.

The Home of the Sisters of Proiidence, St. Marys, Ind., Seldom Visited by Sickness. Sister Ambrose Explains the Besson to a Reporter—line to the Strictest Boles of Hygiene and to the Medicine Used —lnformation of Value to , Everyone. C From the Terre Haute Express.) Four miles to the northwest of Terre Haute, as the pigeon flies, lies the beautiful and picturesque village of St. Marys. This is a Roman Catuolic institution which has attained something more than national celebrity. Fifty years ago it was established by six Sisters of Providence, who came from the shores of France to lay the foundation for this great charitable order. It now consists of the home of the Sisters of Providence, known as the Providence House, a large female seminary, one of the finest chapels in the United States, and a rectory in which the priests make their home. It is also the Mecca to which hundreds oi Sisters of Charity flock each year to make their annual retreat. During these retreats a prolonged fast is maintained, and the greater portion of the time spent in religious sacrifice. A reporter of the Exnress called at the institution one day this week, and asked of Sister Mary Ambrose if there was any apparent reason for the good health with which they were blessed. The answer was that particular attention is paid by the sisters in charge of the health and happiness of the students. “Bodily ailment,” she said, “cannot help but have its e..ect on the mind. In order to keep the mind bright and active and perfectly clear at all times, the student’s physical conmust be as nearly perfect as possible. Some time ago there was more or less ailment noticeable among the sisters and students, which was probably due to atmospheric causes, though of course I do not know just what its origin really was. Shortly after this became noticeable a friend highly recommended a medicine cvlled i>r. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale Poople ar.d so urged upon me to give them a trial that I ordered some of them, and they have be9n used in the institution ever since. A few days ago the manufacturers wrote me for an opinion of .Pink Pills, and my iepiy was as follows: “Eespectcd Sirs: —In answer to your kind request for our opinion of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, we are pleased to say that these Pink Pills were so highly recommended ts us that we were induced to try them, and we think our repeated orders for them are sufficient evidence that we find them all they were represented, a good blood builder and an excellent nerve tonic. Yours very respectfully, Sister M. Ambrose, “Secretary for Sisters of Providence." Medical scientists concede that weak blood and shattered nerves are two fruitful causes of nearly every disease to which human llesh is heir, and if Dr. Williams' medicine is, as Sister Ambrose says they have found it, "a good blood uuilder and an excellent nerve tonic,” the source of good health at St. Mary’s is easily traced. When ail the students assemble in the Academy Building on next commencment day, it, will do cno’s heart good to see that brilliant array of pright faces, bright eyes and happy dispositions, wlijch are due very largely to the extensive u e of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. The Sisters of Providence are nover without them. Their orders are place 1 by the gross direct with the manufacturer. This is certainly a high recommendation for the medicine for there is probably no class of people that gives mora attention to tho physical health and welfare of its members than tho of Providence. The stricter rules of hygiene are ob served at all time 3, and they would not use anything in which they did not have unbounded faith. An analysis of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People shows that they contain, in a condensed form, all tho elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such disea-es as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after offects of la grippe, yalpitation of the heart, pule and sallow complexions, all forms of weakness either in male or female, and all diseases re-iu'ting from vitiated humors in the blood. Pink Pills are sold by ail dealers, or will bo sent postpaid on receipt cf price (50 conts a box, or 6 boxes,for $2.50) —they are never sold in bulk or by the 100—by addressing Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.
