But; good health can only be had by keeping Ithe hlood rich and pure, and the,nerves strong. If the blood is allowed to become weak and Watery, the whole system is weakenâ€" ed and falls an easy prey to diseaSe. There is no medicine can equal Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills in keeping the blood rich and pure, and the nerves vigorous and strong. Every dose helps to create new wood, and by a fair use of the pills, pale, sickly peo- ple are made bright. active and strong. Here is proof. Mr. Robert Lee, New Westminister, B.C., says:â€" “Before I began using Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, my blood was in a. very impure state, and as a result pim- ples that “'UI‘C very itchy, broke out all over my body. My appetite was fickle and ,l was oagily tire-d. My wife urged Inc to try hr. “'iliiams' Pink Pills, and I got half a dozen boxes.

Snow has been falling con- stantly for seventy-tWo hourS, with no indication as yet of a break? Yesterday a blizzard as fierce as was; eVer known here has been raging. x The snow is eighteen inches deep on the level here, while reports from the prairie as far east as Lethbridg'e! are to the effect that it is from twoi to three feet deep. Stock which has been on the green; grass for two weeks is reported to2 be sufiering terrilfily, especially young' animals, which are reported to bel dying 05 in hundreds. The temper-I ature has not been low, but has been. falling for several hours, and the weather is now extremely cold. It is feared the blow to the live stOCk interests within the radius of the storm will be almost paralyzing. 0n tht' same day a message from Great Falls.
