The diScoYerer of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People certainly deserves
the highest tribute that pen can frame.
His medicine has done more to alleviate
the suffer ngs of humanity than any meol-
cine known To science, and his name
should be handed down 10 future genera
tons as the greatest savant OF the present
age.
Messrs Smith. Kline s. French, the WELL
known wholesale druggists, said that DR..
Williams Pink Pills have an enormous
sale in Philadelphia, and that from all
quarters come In glowing reports of the
excellent results following their use. In
nearly every case the good work has been
accomplished after eminent physicians
had failed aud pronounced the patient be-
yOnd the hope of human aid. An ANALYSIS
proves that DR.. Williams Pink Pills con-
Tain in condensed form all the elements
necessary to give new life and richness TO
The blood and restore shattered nerves
They are an unfailing specific for such
diseases as locomOtor ataxla. partial paral-
ysis, st. VtuS' dance, sclatica, neuralgia,
rheumatism, nervous headache, the after
effects OF la grippe, palpltatiOn of the
heart, pale and sallOw compilations. that
tired Telling resulting from nervous pres
vltiated humors in the blood. such as
scrOfula, chronic eryspelas, etc. They
are also a specific for troubles peculiar to
females, such as suppressiOns. irregulari-
ties. and all forms OF weakness. They
build up the blood and restore the glow of
health to pale and sallov cheeks. In men
they effect radical cure in all cases arts
ing from mental worry, 0verw0rk or ex-
cesses of whatever nature.
Although prepared in quantity and
handled by the drug trade as proprietary
article, DR.. Williams Pink Pills are not a
patent medicine in the sense that name i'm
plies. They were first compounded as a
prescription and used as such in general
practice by an eminent physician. SO great
was their efficacy that it was deemed wise
to place them within reach of all at price
which any one could afford to pay. They
are now manufactured by the DR.. Will
iams Medicine Company, Schenectady,
n. Y, and BrOckville, Ontario, and are
sold in boxes (never in loose form by the
dozen or hundred, and the public are eau
toned against numerous limitations sold in
this shape) at 80 cents box, or six boxes
for 50 80, and may be had of all druggists
or direct by mail from DR.. Williams Meii-
cine Company from either address. The
price at which these pills are sold makes a
course of treatment inexpensive as COM
pared with other remedies or medical
treatment.
