selves. Ovarian and womb troubles
are certainly on the increase among
the women of this country-they creep

All Caused by Poor Blood-Cured by
DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
When Mrs. Williams was asked fol
some details of the fearful illness from
which she had SO long suffered, she spoke
as follows:
Ever since had nervous prostration,
about thirteen years ago, have had
periodical spells of complete exhaustion.
Any excitement or unusual activity
would throw me into state of ifeless-
ness. At the beginning my strength
would come back in a moderate time,
but the period Of weakness kept length
eniag until at last would lie helpless
as many as three hours at a stretch
You were under medical treatment,
of course?'
Yes, when became SO bad that ]
had to give up my homework, in May of
1903, was being treated for kidney
trouble, and later the doctor thought my
difficulties came from change of life. I
was not only weak, but I had dizzy
feelings, palpitation of the heart, misery
after eating, hot flashes, nervous head
aches, rheumatic pains in the back and
hips. The doctor did me so little good
that I gave up his treatment, and really
feared that my case was incurable.' -
What saved you from your state of
hopelessness?"
"In July of 1908 I had a very bad
spell, and my husband came in one day
with little book which told of remark
able cures effected by a remedy for the
blood and the nerves, Dr. Williams Pink
Pills. He bought box for me, and
that was the beginning Of my return to
health. My appetite grew keen, my food
no longer distressed me, my nerves were
quieted, and my strength began to re-
vive."
GLOW long did you take this remedy"
"For two months only. At the end
of that time I had regained my health
and cheerfulness, and my friends saw
that / am looking better than I have
done for the past fifteen years.
