Young girls often outgrow their strengih, and excessive demands are made on the blood stream, which becomes impoverished and incapable of supplying the nourishment, required to keep the organs active and healthy. As a resilt many a girl enters womanhood in an arsenic condition. If this is allowed to contimme a general breakdiren in health is almost sure to follow.

Wise mothers watch, their daughters during these critical years for any symptoms of anaemia-to see whether they tire easily, are pale, nervous, irritable, despondentwend at the first sigus prescribe a course of Dr. Williams" Pink Pills, for they know that these pills have a splen- did tonic effect because of their power to create abondant, new, rich, red blood, so- necessary for good health.

Innumerable delicate girls the world over have derived the greatest benefit from this renowned remedy for anaemia. By their parifying, enriching tonic action on the blood, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills bring back colour to pale cheeks, sparks, to dill' eyes, strength to weak tired limha, vitality to the whole systems, and this restore health and happiness. For the special ailments of women there is nothing better than Dr. Williamng' Pink Pills, and they are equally good for debilitated, enervated, depress- ed men. Obtainable from chemists everywhere.
