The fact that one woman is bright eyed, rOSy-cheeked, strong and cheerful, while another is pale, weak and de- pressed is due more often than other wise to the regularity in the one case and the irregularity in the other Of the functions that are peculiar to the sex. When these are disturbed everything goes wrong; pain and discomfort are felt all over the body; the sensations are often terrifying.
 If all women so afflicted would follow the example of Mrs Davis they would soon escape these trials. She had a long experience of the most Wretched feelings. She tried doctor after doctor unsuccessfully and experimented with numerous preparations advertised to cure female complaints, and then at last she found one medicine of genuine merit.
 "For four years," said Mrs Davis re- gently, II suffered indeScribable mis- cry from sick headache every month, accompanied by fainting spells, short- ness of breath and severe pain ln my left side. There were also bearing down pains at times so acute that l could not stand up, and my head was full of ringing sounds. It seemed as if everything was going to hit me in | with closed eyes for hours to get a lit tie relief. When I attempted to arise everything would whirl around and it would grow so dark that l could scarce ly see any obJect.''
 "Couldn't your doctor help you?" she was asked.
 II had five doctors in all to treat me, but got no lasting benefit from any one of them. Besides used a lot of remedies advertised to cure female complaints. The only medicine, how ever, that had the desired effect was pr Williams Pink Pills, and they are truly godsend to women."
 "After so many disappointments it to try anything.'
 My husband got them for me on the recommendation of friend, but l did not have much faith in them when 1 began to take them. 1 found myself, however, so much better after using two boxes that I began to believe in them. They checked right away the decline into which l was going. My troubles kept lessening and finally dis appeared altogether"
 How long did it take to effect a cure?'
 ''After I had used twelve boxes my health was all right. I had taken on flesh and was strong and hearty. l feel to-day in spirits more like girl of sixteen than a woman of my years. Of course, do not like to tell these things about myself, but am glad to spread the good news about pr Will Hams Pink Pills to help some other poor sufferer" "
 Mrs c. H. Davis address is Carmel, Maine, R. F. D. No. 2. Dr Williams Pink Pills are confidently offered to women for the cure of anamia, chloro- sis, painful and irregular periods, and all forms of weakness. They are sold by every druggist.
