It seemed Impossible to correct or nrcn to
check the disorders.
M I had become greatly weakened," said
Mrs. Herr, in telling her story to a reporter,
"and the awful cramps and the frequency
and nature of the fainting spells alarmed
me beyond belief and shattered my system.
"I tried electric treatments it failed, and
1 did not know where to turn for help.
M A friend told me how her mother bid
been greatly benefited by taking Dr.Vil
liinu' Pink Pills for Pak People.
MI had but little hope for success) but da
tided to give these pills a trial
' SI took two boxes and ws much bens'

cured. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People had done what all the previous
treatment had failed to do.
"I am fully restored to health now, and
do things that I had hardly cUre attempt
before."
No discovery of modern times his proved
such a boon to women as Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People. Acting directly on
the blood and nerves, invigorating the body,
regulating the functions, they restore the
strength and health to the exhausted woman
when every effort of the physician proves
unavailing.
These pills arc recognized everywhere
as a specific for diseases of the blood and
nerves. For paralysis, locomotor ataxia,
and other diseases long supposed incurable,
they have proved their efficacy in thousands
of cases. Truly they arc one of the greatest
blessings ever bestowed upon mankind.

GCENE IN'A PORTUGAL WINERY,
In the mountains, at the Quinto do Sexto, J'ortujjal, a famous Fort
Wine district where tho custom of treadi;; Vc Speafor Port Wina
is still in vogiie. ! From tn to a do.x?; mo:i or wotyea tor each gang
in turn continue the treading, day and night, daring the four or five
weeks vintage. Some of the treading vats are large enough for three
separate rows of n men each, who with their white breeches well
tucked up, their mi on each other's shoulders, raise and tread theit
feet alternately, .th song and shouts to keep the lazier ones up to th
work, and a band with string instruments enlivens the hours.
Spccr, of New Jersey, Uses Hollers instead of Feet
It is from this district the vines were imported over forty years age
that now (ill the vineyards of the Speer Wine Co., at Passaic.
At Passaicthe same kind of grapes are crushed between large rol
lers of rubber, revolved by Meain. This is the only place in
this country where the real genuine Port Wine is made from tho
Oporto grape and they are grown right in Sheer's Vineyards.
These vineyards extend over J$ of a mile along ono of tho Main
avenues of Passaic, and comprise fifty six acres. The soil being
rich in iron makes the wine most valuable for Medical use.
SPEER'S WINES
Are well known to be of the highest character, the oldest and most
refined Wines in America, equal if not superior to any w ines in the
world. They consist f Port, Sherry, Burgundy, Claret. Sauterns
Wines, and -kir-k Climax Brandy. Mr. Speer has some Wine irt his
cellars that he made over thirty eight years agov AJ1 Speer'a
Wines and Brandy are very old, rich, well rounded, soft and delicate.
Every family should have a bottle or two of each variety of Specr'a
Wines and Brandy always in the home, for sickness or 1'ainilv use.
