A mother's health during the nursing period is of vital importance, for the freedom from ills and satisfactory carly progress of her little one Lupends largely upon this.

A mother's primary need at such time is an abundant supply of pure, red blood to enrich her milk, to strengthen her nerves and to build up her general health after the great strain which has recently been imposed upon her.

The ideal blood builder and nerve tonic for the nursing mother is the one which has been renowned throughout the world for over fifty years un- der the name of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, the prescription for which was. originally devised by an eminent physician, an M.D. of Edinburgh Univer- sity, Scotland.

The beneficial effects of these pills will also be appreciated by all wo- men and girls, because, acting through the blood, they strengthen the di- gestive organs, re-vitalize the nerves, prevent headaches and backaches, and give just the help needed at the most trying periods of a woman's life.

These splendid iron tonic pills are equally good for men who are run Obtainable at all down through illness, worry, overwork or other cause. chemists, but be sure to ask for Dr. Williams' and refuse substitutes.
