Originated by a British physician, these pills actually create new, rich, pure, red blood As a corrective of other ills aris- ing from impoverished blood, in- somnia, nervous disorders, genera' debility, loss of appetite, malaria, rheumatism, selatica, the ache and pains to which women are subject, Dr. Williams Pink Pills are equally helpful.
