ENDLESS NIGHTS
The Experience of a Woman Who
Could not Sleep.

To lie awake and count the hours, with
never wink Of sleep, or at most only a
6tful doze, till it is time to get up-most
people have gone through the experience
once in a while. But to have it keep up
night after night-then it is wearing
and. in the end. will undermine the
strongest constitution and reduce the
vitality to a low ebb.
Sleeplessness has always something OF
disease or undue excitement in it. The
excessive use of tea, coffee, tobacco, or
any narcotic, may bring it on. In such
cases, if the patient stop the use of, or
use more moderate ely, those stlmulants,
he can overcome the trouble. 1t may
come, too, from dyspepsia, Il general run
down condition of the system, from dis
ease or insufficient nutrition, feyerish
excitement, too much blood in the head,
etc. In these latter cases medicine that
will feed the nerves and build up and
purify the blood, like DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People is recommended.
That this medicine will accomplish a
cure in such cases has been proven in
thousands of instances. One of them Is
that Of Mrs Carrie A Roberts, OF No. 8
Melville street, Augusta, Me, who was
at one time a sufferer from insomnia and
nervousness but was permanently cured
By DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. She says:
Il was very nervous and could not
sleep. | had headache a great deal and
my health was run down in general.
For three months | was not able to do
any work.
II tried other remedies but they gave
me no benefit. But one day one of my
neighbors recommended me to try DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and
I began using them. 1 took part of a
box and saw that was receiving benefit
and, after taking four boxes, enjoyed
better health than had for long time.
/ found the pills were all that they were
recommended to be and now | am sleep
ing we'll and feeling well"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People are sold only in boxes at fifty
cents box or six boxes for two dollars
