Dr. G."*\ alter Sarr, secretary of the board, said he had worked with sever al presidents. Two things impressed him In connection with Dr. Hughes. These were his devotion to duty and his kindliness. Dr. Barr said he had seen Dr. Hughes in the midst of the most nerve racking work as a physic ian, work all the .harder that he might attend a board meeting. He did not know of another man who would have undertaken this at the expense of such energy. Dr. Hughes was surcharged with kindliness. Dr. Barr said. He tried never to hurt the reelings of anyone if it. were possible not. to. He kept constantly before his mind the result of his actions as far as other people were concerned. Laud His Work. John A.

This sort of headache is-generally located in tho forehead and la not constant but comes and goes. It does not come on immediately after eating but after the food has had time to ferment which it does because tho diges tive fluids that should take care of it are insufficient, because the glands that se crete these fluids are weak, because the blood is failing to nourish these glands properly. Rich, red blood is the first essential to proper digestion and the digestive pro cess cannot go on without it. When lack of nourishing blood causes fermentation and poisons are absorbed from the diges tive tract, the pain in your head advises you of the fact. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills give the blood just the elements they need to correct this condition and, with a laxative, when required, forma perfect treatment for the headachea of indiges tion.
