MOTHERS NEED CONSTANT_STRENGTH To Care (or the Growing Family and Her Household Cares ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½When there is a growing family to care for and the mother falls ill, it is a serious matter. Many mothers who are on the go from morning to night whose work apparently, Is never done, heroically try to disguise their sufferings, and keep an appearanceï¿½ï¿½ï¿½of cheerfulness before their family. Only themselves itnow how they are distressed by headaches and backaches, dragging down pains and nervous weakness; It iw their nights are often sleepless, and they arise to a new day's work tired, depressed and unre- j freshed. Such mothers should know that these sufferings are usually due to n lack of good nourishing blood. They should know that the thing above Oil others they need to give them new health and strength Is rich, red blood, and Hint among all medicines there Is none can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for their blood-1 making, health restoring qualities. Every suffering woman, every woman | with 11 home and family to care fori Shculd give these pills tt fair trial, for they will keep her in health and j strength, and make her work easy, j lice is strong proof that these Pills do what is claimed for them. Mrs. | Henry Thomas, Dryden, Out., says: "When my second child was born I j was so weak and run down that I could scarcely walk across the room. My baby was small'and weak also.; and cried and worried night and day | until 1 discovered that the child was starving, as my nurse had turned almost to water. My husband got me a supply of Br. Williams' Pink Pills. I and I began taking them. The first | beneficial effects were noticed in that my child began to thrive, as my nurse began to improve, and baby slept bet- ter and naturally. It was not long, until 1 began to feci the improvement myself, an 1 I daily gained new j strength, and baby was growing very j rosy and fat. I continued using the Pills while T was nursing him and found myself with all the vigor of I good health, and able to easily do my j housework, which had been so great j a drag on me hefnre. I am now- never without Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills; in the house, and take an occasional dose when I feel tired. I can strong- ly recommend these Pills to all nursing women, especially if weak or run , down." Sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes I for *2.r>n from The T)r.

For keeping the teeth In good condition chewiug dry toast. burd bread oi crackers is recommended. Coarse foods tend to give a stability to tbe "grlndera" which keeps them from early decay. For the purpose of dislodging particles of food, removing deposits ind other substances a good toothbrush Is Indispensable. The brush wltb medium soft bristles Is best for tbe reason tbat unyielding bristles injure suit Intlume tbe gums, causing them to shrink and recede. No particular shape of brush Is recommended, the principal point to remember being that the back and under parts ot tbe teeth require as much or even more attention than tbe front In stroking de not make tbe mistake of drawUm the brush across tbe teeth without at. ternatlng this action with a careful up and down stroke. Drawing the brush up snd down removes psrticles of food tbst lodge tightly lo crevices between the leetb. Cover tho gums ns well as tbe teetb during this cleaning process.
