HER BLOOD TOO Thin
GENERAL DEBILITY RESULTS FROM
IMPOVERISHED BLOOD.

The Remedy That Makes New Blood
Banishes Weakness, Headaches, In
digestion and Nervous Troubles.
Hundreds of women suffer from head
aches, dizziness, restlessness, hnguor
and timidity. Few realize that their
misery all comes from the bad state of
their blood. They take one thing for
their head, another for their stomach,
a third for their nerves. and yet all the
while it is simply their poor blood that
is the cause of their discomfort.
If one sure remedy for making good,
rich blood were used every one of their
distressing ailments would disappear. as
they did in the case of Mrs. Ella F.
Stone, who had been ailing for years and
was completely run down before she re.
allied the nature of her trouble.
For several years." said Mrs. Stone.
"I suffered from general debility. 1t
began about 1896 with indigestion, ner.
vousness and steady headaches. Up to
1900 I hadn t been able to find any relief
from this condition. was then very
thin and bloodless. An enthusiastic
friend, who had used DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, urged me to give them trial and
I finally bought a box.
81 did not notice any marked change
from the use Of the first box, but de-
termined to give them fair trial and !
kept on. When ! had finished the
second box could see very decided signs
of Improvement in my condition. be-
gan to feel better all over and to have
hopes Of complete cure.
II used in all eight or ten boxes, and
when stopped I had got back ny regu-
lar weight and good healthy color and
the gain has lasted. I can eat what I
please without discomfort. My nervous
ness is entirely gone. and, while had
constant headaches before, I very rarely
have one now. cheerfully recommend
DR., Williams Pink Pills to women who
suffer as did"
Mrs. Stone was seen at her pretty
home in Lakewood, r. l., where. as the
result Of her experience, DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are very popular. These IA
| nous pills are sold by all druggists. A
