GIRLHOOD'S DANCERS.
A Simple and Certain Method by
Which Chlorosis. a Frequent
Affliction of Growing Girls,
May Be Overcome.

Every mother knows that the danger
line in the development of a girl is
crossed at the point where gfrlhood and
womanhood meet. Ills that Turk in the
blood then disclose themselves and, if
neglected, become seated diseases dis
turbing all the later life and frequently
lead to consumption and the most
frightful arrangement of the nervous
system. This critical point cannot be
too closely guarded. Care insures ro-
bust health; neglect means living
misery.
Mothers of growing girls can profit
by the experience of Mrs. E c. Young,
of No. 303 Lynn street, Ithaca, N. Y,
who was safely brought through her
girlhood's critical period by a simple
course of treatment, after physicians
had failed to help her.
when I was seventeen she says,
Il began to fail in health and, in
spite of all the medicines our family
doctor gave me, 1 continued to grow
who also attended me seemed to be
able to reach the cause of my trouble.
It was chlorosis, they said, a form of
anaemia with which girls of about that
age are often afflicted I was troubled
with Shortness of breath. hadn't a bit
of color and couldn't go upstairs With
out being all tired out. Ny limbs were
dreadfully swollen and my appetite en-
tirely gone. I had nervous headacb es
for which a doctor recommended glass
es, but the glasses did not cure them.
Each month I suffered great deal Of
pain and was very irritable.
This condition kept growing worse
for three years until finally it became
| intolerable and began to hunt eagerly
for some remedy that could effect a
certain cure. Finally found a friend
who said she had been cured of a SINH
lar trouble by DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, after her case had
been pronounced hopeless. Upon her
strong recommendation I decided to
| take this remedy. Relief was almost
immediate and after using the pills for
a short time was cured altogether and
have remained perfectly we'll and
strong ever since
The value of such a remedy is be-
yond the power OF words to express,
for it determines the happiness of a
lifetime, and 1t is fortunately within
the reach of all who need it. These
pills have also cured locomotor ataxta,
partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, scia-
tica, neuralgia, rheumatism. nervous
| headaches, after-effects of the grip
palpitation OF the heart, pale and sal
low compilations and all forms OF
weakness in either male or female. DR.
/ Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
are sold by all druggists, or will be sent
direct from DR.. Williams Madeleine Co.
/ Schenectady, n. Y, postpaid on re-
/ ceipt of price, fifty cents per box; six
boxes for two dollars and half.
