GIRL and WOMAN
CARE NEEDED AT THE TRANSITION
FROM ONE TO THE OTHER.
Many a Life Spent In Suffering Because
Troubles Were Allowed TO Develop
at This Time

Every mother Of a growing girl
should remember that there will come
time when her daughter will be a
girl no longer but will share with her
the blessings of womanhood. Unless
nourishment keeps pace with growth
the foundations of life of suffering
monty called green sickness, may de-
velop unless the blood is kept rich
and pure; incipient consumption and
nervous and constitutional troubles
that have been dormant in the blood,
will surely appear unless the system
is kept toned up until the danger line
is passed. Mrs. John MacKinney. of
No. ATS Thirteenth street. Detroit
Mich, writes a timely word on the
subject. She says:
81 did not get proper care at the
first critical time in my life and for
seventeen years | suffered as a result
had dizzy spells, felt a constant fear
that something dreadful was about to
happen, and was afraid to go out
alone My breathing was very short
and | had palpitation of the heart SO
badly that I could not go upstairs nor
walk even moderately, fast. l was SO
nervous that l could not sit still. AT
different times for years l was under
the care of the best physicians in De,
troit and I tried a number of adver-
tised medicines. Nothing helped me
until, on the advice of neighbor, /
tried DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People I felt relieved before the
first box was finished and I kept on
taking them until I was cured.
Last winter my little girl had rheu-
matism and gave her DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and she got we'll right
away My sisters daughter was
thought to be going into consumption
and, upon my advice, she tried the
pills They cured her cough and she
is now well and strong. You can
readily see that my entire family is
enthusiastic over Dr. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People and we cannot
say enough in their praise"
Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People are always successful because
they go to the root of the disease
Other remedies act on the symptoms
these marvellous vegetable pills re
move the cause of the trouble They
have proven themselves to be an un.
falling specific for all diseases arising
from impure or impoverished blood
and weakened nerves-two fruitful
causes of nearly all the ills to which
human kind is heir. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People are sold in
boxes at so cents p box. or six boxes
for $3.50, and may be had Of all drug
gists. or direct by mail from DIR. viii.
