This is Something all Women Can Have or Easily Acque-Some
Simple Rules to Observe.

II would say that DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People are the best remedy for
women to take during the turn of life to keep
them in health and to pass that age in safety"
When woman is passing beyond that age il
is a crisis m her life. Then, if ever, proper
attention to hygiene should be exercised.
The attendant sutierings will disappear and
huoyant health will follow. if DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People are used
These pills exert powerful influence in
restoring the system to its proper condition.
They contain in condensed form all the
elements necessary to give new life and rich

of diseases are cured, as nearly all, are the
result of an impoverished condition of the

market.

The look In q woman's face is expressive
of what she is. One can easily tell whether
she is healthy, wealthy, happy or Scl>ly.
Nothing adds more to O woman's attractions
than a pleasant face and this is something
all can have or easily acquire. It's simply
obtained by cleanliness, air, light, diet, exer-
else.
Many q woman is continually cross, mo-
rose, weak, nervous, ailing; made so by the
exactions of household cares, or the condi-
ditions incident to her sex. But back of this
and the cause Of all the trouble, will be
found that the system 10 out of order; the
blood needs toning up. When this is done
there follows, buoyancy Of feeling, and u
merry household.
The preservation of woman's Cruces and
charms requires care and common sense, but
no more than is bestowed upon her fine laces,
bric-a-brac, etc. The good wife keeps the
silver from tarnish, but neglects herself.
Every woman desires to be "picture Of
health" and she can be, for it 10 only mat
ter of health rather than regular features or
perfect proportions, for without the vitality
Of good spirits which good health denotes, no
woman is charming.
Many woman IL regretfully watching the
growing pallor of her cheeks, the coming
wrinkles, the thinness that becomes more
distressing every day. The best way to over
come this and acquire the pleasant look in a
woman's face is expressed in the following
story told by Mrs. A. Fox, an esteemed resi-
dent of New Hampton, Mo.
Three years ago Last April, she says, )" I
