A Woman's Secret.

A woman can keep the secret of her age only so long as she is able to ward off the effects of advancing years.

How can this best be done in these days of stress, when great demands are made upon the nervous system? The essential thing is to maintain a plentiful supply of rich, pure blood to nourish the nerves and vitalise the whole system.

Charming natural colour and soft clear skin are dependent upon the blood, and looks which have been lost through impoverished blood can be re- gained by taking the proper remedy. There is nothing better for the pur- pose than Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

Put yourself on a thirty-day treat- ment. As soon as you begin taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills the recon- structive process will start. The blood will grow richer, will carry. more vitality. Old aches and off-days will give way to new vigour and a brighter outlook on life.

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are equally beneficial to men and women of all ages who are suffering from one or other of the many consequences of Im- poverished blood. Obtainable at all chemists.
