CHARM

OF FACE AND FIGURE.

You like to look your best, to be.. conscious of the admiration of others, don't you?

Womanly beauty does not only lie in the fineness of the features; a pretty face loses much of it's charm if it lacks freshness and vivacity, that radiancy which in- dicates the presence of 'rich, red- of blood, the foundation source happy, healthy being.

Many young women and girls whose charm of face and figure evokes envy and admiration in their friends owe their looks to, Dr. Williams'

the Pink Pills, world-famous blood builder and nerve tonic.

You need not be tired, run- down, listless, irritable, thin, per- haps with a pimply complexion; do as many thousands like you have done, take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Soon you will be delight- ed as your complexion clears, your figure becomes shapely, and you again enjoy glowing health,

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Obtainable at chemists everywhere.
