A Woman's Praise For Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

"I wish from my heart I could persuade every person who is run down to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial", writes Mrs, Louie Mitchell of Oak Point, Manitoba, [Canada.

"I was suffering from a very run down system. Any little exer- tion would cause my legs to trem- ble and. my, heart to throb violent- ly and I quickly became, exhaust- ed., Then I began taking Dr. 'Wil- Hams' Pink Pills and, after a short course of these pills I am now as well, and strong as ever.”

If you are feeling run down, have frequent headaches, - suffer from insomnia or rheumatism and its kindred ailments, or from di- gestive disorders, and -have lost. appetite, weight and strength, give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills trial. It will not be long before you, too, are praising their effic- Jacy. Obtainable at all chemists,
