What we desire to point qut on the present occasion, however, is that it is not only in severe and fatal diseases that the pills are so valuable, but also in the ailments of daily life; as rheumatisin, anumia, St. Vitus' dance, fits, and disorders which trouble women.
As a tonic and a cure for any form of weakness or debility the pills have a high Mrs. Godfrey, 50 Princes' reputation. stree, Mile-endā, Purtsmouth, England said to a Portsmouth Times reporter:
Two years ago; I became very low- d depressed, owing to a work spirited heart. I had sick headaches and was un. able to do any work. This continued for about six months, and I kept on taking the medicine given to me, but I only became weaker and weaker and perfectly helpless. My husband had to carry me upstairs to bed every night, I seemed to have no life or energy and would sit moping by the fire all day. About eighteen months ago I was recommenced by a friend to try Dr. Willi- ams' pink pills for pale people. I had no sooner ommended to tak them than I found relief, and by the time I had finished the first box I was much better. The pal- pitation of the heart and the pains in the head had ceased, and I grow perceptibly stronger. I was encouraged to keep on,' added Mr. Godfrey, and six or seven boxes completely cured me.'

THERAPION
MARK,
This successful and highly popular remedy, as employed in the Continental Hospitals by Ricord, Kostan, Jobert, Velpeau, and others, combines all- the desiderata to be sought in a medicine of the kind and surpasses everything hitherto employed.
THERAPION NO. 1
in a remarkably short time, often afew days only, removes all discharges from the urinary organa, superseding injections, the use of which does irre- parable harm by laying the foundation of stricture and other serious diseases:
THERAPION NË 2
for impurity of the blood, scurvy, pimples, spots, blotches, pains and swelling of the joints, secon dary symptoms, gout, rheumatism, and all diseases for which it has been too much a fashion to ven ploy mercury, sarsaparilla, &c., to the destruction of sufferers' teeth and ruin of bealth. This pre. paration parifice the whole system through the blood, and thoroughly eliminates every poisonous matter from the body.
