MISS KENNEDY'S CASE
WHY SHE LEFT HER STUDIES AT
THE HIGH SCHOOL.


Interested in the story ms Told by the
Young Lady Herself.
The circumstances under which Ber-
tina Kennedy was taken from her studies
i'll the high school will be of interest to
all mothers of growing girls. Miss
Kennedy said to a reporter
When | was fourteen years old I be-
gan to decline in health on account of n
suppression of the natural functions of
my sex, and l am sure l would never
have been the healthy girl I am now if
it had not been for DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. 1 was entirely
without color, thin as a rail, nervous
and irritable, tired and lifeless and in a
seriously low state of health in general.
Although good doctor was treating
me, he failed to do any good and my
parents felt very much alarmed about
me.
was taken from the high school on
account ofmy poor health, but continued
to grow worse. Then 1 began to take
DIR. Williams Pink Pills, and with the
first few doses began to feel better Four
boxes brought about the desired result
and a few boxes more restored me entirely
to health. Now / have q good color, am
strong and active and have not seen
sick day from that time to the present. 4"
Miss Kennedy lives at Canton juno
ton, Mass. and both she and her mother
are willing to verify the above state
ment.
The trouble with which Miss Kennedy
was afflicted often causes severe head
ache, loss of appetite, pale or sallow
complexion, palpitation of the heart,
swollen ankles or legs, nervousness, of.
fensive breath, etc, etc. The sufferer
may exhibit one or more of these symp-
toms, or may have all. They simply in
dictate the ravages disease has made upon
the system, and the more of these symp-
toms the patient shows the greater the
necessity for prompt and persistent
treatment, until they have been ban
ished and the bloom of health is restored.
To accomplish this end, DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People are the only
unfailing remedy. They positively cure
all suppressions and Irregularities,
which, if neglected, inevitably entail
sickness and trouble.
At all druggists, or direct from DR..
Williams Medicine Company, Science
tady, NY, fifty cents per box; six boxes
for two dollars and fifty cents.
