DR.. Williams Pink Pills are not a patent
medicine in the sense that name implies.
They were first compounded as a prescrip-
ton, and used as such in general practice
by an eminent physician. So great were
their efficacy that it was deemed wise to
place them within5t the reach of all. They
are now manufactured by the DR.. Will
Jams Medicine company, Schenectady, N.
T., and B%rockville, Ont. and are sold in
boxes (never in loose form by the dozen
or hundred, and the public is cautioned
against numerous limitations sold in this
shape) at SO cents a box, or six boxes for
$3.50, and may be had of all druggists or
direct by mail from DR.. Williams Medi-
cine company, from either address. The
price at which these pills are sold makes a
a course of treatment inexpensive as COM
pared with other remedies or medical
| treatment.
