Every one of us can truthfully say that we have a vast army always on guard for us so that we may live in health and comfort.

This mighty army is the millions of tiny red bodies which. give colour to the blood. They are forever attacking impure and poisonous elements in the blood. and cleansing the body of foul air, which they carry to the lungs In addition, to be breathed" out. they take rourishment to all- parts of the body, extracted from) the food that is being digested. If for one instant the heart stops and the great army ceases to march we are dead. "If this army becomes reduced in strength, or is inefficient, we grow thin and weak our nerves, are enfeebled, our food does not nourish us. we are breathless, chilly and tired out. Men and women whose armies) of red blood corpuscles win their battle against disease are the -fortunate ones. Those who are anæmic and deficient in blood, always ailing, are to be pitied, but they can be helped. New, rich, warm, healthy blood will be made for them if they take a course of Dr. Williams', pink pills. Their nerves will become steady, their 'complexion will improve, vitality will be restored to all parts of the body, and every function of life be regularised and streng- thened. The simple reason is that Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people make new healthy blood.
