The first critical period in

ing of her girlhood. How to
preserve the daughters health
at this crisis is the problem that
corfronts every mother of girls.
Mrs. J. NJ. Riggs, of Cartcrvillc,

says:
any daughter Josie during the
winter of ls97-9S suffered "a COM
plete breakdown in health. She
was thin and pale, had no appetite,
and was SO weak that She was un-
able to walk to school. Those who
knew her condition said that she
was in the first stages of oOnSurIp-
ton. Shortly after school closed,
on the advice of a neighbdr, we be-
gan giving her DR.. Villa ms Pink

on her condition was marvellous.
Before she had taken halfa box her
condition was improved, and she
kept on gaining appetite. strength
