one can resist.”

It is the magnetism of health which pires this charm to fall-blooded womanly girls; the anemic ones are always thin and ailing. They look despondent and are lacking in life and spirit. Yet there is a remedy within easy reach of these languid, breathless girls who miss so much of the joy of life. Nearly all the woos of the sex are due to poor blood or impare bicod and Dr. Williams pink pills for pale people have become famous among women just because they enrich the blood, and an impart new energy, a healthy glow of colour in the checks. and a fresh interest in life

Every woman who wishes to preserve or to recover her health and attractive ness should write to the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., 06 Szechuen Hoad, Shang- bai, for a free copy of the valuable little book "Plain Talks To Women," Dr. Williams' pink pills are obtainable from medicine dealers everywhere, also, post Eren, one bottle for 81.50, six for $8, from the abore address.
