"Well, no," admitted the sceptic. "But then, you see, it is a physician who is prescribing, and who knows what he is about."
Dr. Williams' Pink Filla for Pale People are themselves the prescrip- tion of a learned and experienced physician who, as the sceptic aug- gests, knew what he was about. Their superior efficacy rests upon the fact that the prescription from which they are mado is sounder
