PALE, PEPLESS GIRL BECAME PRETTY
PASS AND WASN'T SHE PLEASED!
In
It all happened in 20 days in a leading hospital in Canada! November 1933 the girl was pale, run-down and lacked vitality. Weight" abnormal; only 914 lbs. Her blood, when tested, was found to be low In red corpuscles and lower still in haemoglobin, the red substance in the red corpuscles. She was given a 30-day treatment. And what a happy' change took place!
She gained nine pounds and her complexion glowed with rosy health. Her face rounded out and she became positively pretty. The treatment as shown by a second blood test had greatly increased the red mor- puscles and haemoglobin in her blood, consequently she felt and looked radiantly well The preparation that worked these wonders was Dr. Wil lama' Pink Pilis
This famous old remedy restores health, in a most constructive way. We know that the blood carries nourishment and vitality to every part of the body, But unless the blood has a sufficient number of red cor- puscles and red colouring substance called haemoglobin, it cannot carry on its vital work. It is here that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills produce con- stractive benefitar This remedy increases, in most cases, both the red corpuscles and the haemoglobin. Blood test prove it!
good health are too precious to neglect or experiment. Good looks and with. If your feelings and your mirror tell you that you are under- weight, nervous, sallow, easily tired out take this tested remedy. Dr. Wiliams Pink Pills, for 80 days; as the girl mentioned above did; they are obtainable from your chemist. Then see how substantially yedilirə gained in beauty and health
