A WARNING TO EARLY RISERS.

People who reside in the Tro- pics, or in any part where Malaria) prevails, should avoid going out before the sun has dispelled the morning mists, and also befure they have breakfasted. The roa sons for this are that the vapours which arise from the earth during the night are frequently malarious, and the system unfortified by the morning meal is especially susceptible to this poison..

The only real safeguard against Malaria, however, is pure rich blood. And when Malaria has entered the system the only method of driving it out is by purifying and enriching the blood. | For both these purposes the one proved specific is the World. famous blood tonic Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The testimony of in- numerable cured sufferers from Malaria has established the fact that these Pills are a permanent remedy. Their action is prompt, they begin to purify and build-up the blood from the first dose. And as rapidly as the blood gains strength so it expels the Malaria parasites until the whole system is cleansed, strengthened and rejuvirated.
