BEAUTIFUL WOMEN
HOW THEY MAINTAIN THE CHARMS
OF THEIR SEX.
The Importance that Attaches to the Care
of the Blood If One Wants Bright Eyes
and a Clear Complexion.


of the Blood If One Wants Bright Eyes
and a Clear Complexion.
Every sensible woman naturally wishes
to appear attractive. She knows the value
of bright eyes, delicate complexion and
lively spirits. She knows also that
good health is at the basis of her charms,
and that good blood is the source of good
health.
Miss Mamie Conway has complexion
which is the admiration Of all who know
her. Asked if she could make any sug-
gestions that would be helpful to others
less fortunate, she said:
"My complexion would not have
pleased you, if you had seen it two years
ago. It was then about as bad as it
could be, and it gave me great deal of
dissatisfaction. If you want good
complexion you must take care of your
health, especially of the condition of
your blood. Ny health was at that time
completely broken down. I was nervous,
had frequent headaches, a torpid liver
and great deal of pain i'll that region
7 suffered also from indigestion. 1t was
clear that my blood was i'll bad condition.

isn't the slightest trace of such blem-
ishes now

I found anything that gave me any re-
lief. became very weak and istless.
The DOCTORS medicine did me no good,
and took number of highly recon-
mended tonics with no better result.
AS soon, however, as began to use DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People my
complexion cleared up, and after I had
taken two boxes there was not sign of
pimple left on my face My cheeks
became rosy, I gained flesh and have had
perfect health ever SINCE"
Rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes are
merely signs ofhealthy blood. They have
come not only in theca of Miss Conway,
whose home is at 1911 East Eighth street,
Canton, Ohio, but to thousands of
women for whom DIR. Williams Pink
Pills have made new blood. There is no
surer way for you to obtain them, than to
buy a box of these pills from any drug
