Strength
 and Vi&or

MT. C. M. Scott, 1s4o, Dor chester, Avenue, Boston, Mass, tells how he became a strong, hearty man:
 "About two years ago l suffered from general debility and l doubt if there was anybody more utterly miserable than was. had no life or energy, and was as depressed mentally as I was worn out physi- cally. It was not at all unusual for mo to go to sleep over my work. My blood was thin and watery, but the worst of it all was the dreadful, wearying nervousness at night. When retired at ten O o'clock, instead of going to sleep I would toss and turn till well on into the morning, and when awoke it was without any feeling of being refreshed or rested. lost SO much flesh that got down to l22 pounds in weight, and had no desire for food.
 "Last January 8 friend urged me to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. had previously tried many different kinds of remedies and had consulted three physicians, but the little relief they gave was insisted and I tried the medicine.
 By the time the second box was begun there was such evident inn provement that I continued taking them till the ninth box, when I felt that I was entirely cured. 1 now weigh l58 pounds. There is no sign of nervousness, rest well and feel strong, and am able to enjoy life once more."
