Mrs. fierr, in telling ner storyto q reporter,
"and the awful cramps and the frequency
and nature Of the fainting spells alarmed
me beyond belief and shattered my system.
II tried electric treatment; it failed, and
did not know where to turn for help.
VA friend told me how her mother had
bcen greatly benefited by taking Dr.. VII
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
"Ihad but listte hope for success,b but de-
e;dsd to give these pills a trial. !.
"Itook two boxes and was much kene-
fitted. After taking six more boxes I wa

People had done what ali the previous
treatment had failed to do.
~ am folly restored to health now, and
do things that l had hardly dared attempt
before"
Nodiseovcfy Of modern times has proved
such boon to women as Dr. illiams' Pink
Pills for Pale People. Acting directly On
the blood and nerves, invigorating the body,
regulating the functions, they restore the
strength and health to the exhausted woman
when every effort Of the physician proves
unavailing.
These pills are recognized everywhere
as a specific for diseases of the Blood and
nerve For paralysis, locomotof a:axia,
and other diseases long supposed ineurable,
heyhave provsdtheir efficacy in thousands
Of cases. Truly they are one Of the greatest
blessii.S s ever bestowed upon mankind.

The fact that several dollars spent for the
tight medicine has effected a cure where a
skilled end expensive physician aided by
the latest and most ingenious instrument Of
science, had failed, is a matter Of much
importance.
Important, because it opens to downcast
sufferers a new, inexpensive and sure
avenue to the restoration Of health and the
full enjoyment Of the pleasures Of life.
Such was the experience Of Mrs. Ada
N. Herr, Of 439 North Charlotte Street,
Lancaster, Pa.
From a weak, nervous, ~despondine per-
son, she was made a strong, active woman
and a cheerful, helpful wife.
t1ef story is interesting.
Mrs. Herr suffered terribly from female
disorders. Her nerves became unstruns,
cramps griped her and caused the most
intense pain.
So weak and physically demoralized
was she, that the slightest labor wearied
her and household duties were a burden.
The most alarming symptoms of her
malady were the frequent fainting spells
that afflicted her.
In the midst Of her work, or in a con-
v~ersation, dizziness would come upon her
and she would fall PROSTATE in a swoon.
She consulted a reputable physician. He
diagnosed her case and prescribed the usual
remedies.
Instead Of improving, she continued to
grow worse; the ailment that was robbing
her lie Of the joys Ct young womanhood
became more pronounced.
