WINTER WEAKNESS
Or. Williams Pink Pills the Tonic
That Most People Need for
Blood and Nerves.

In winter the air of the close rooms in
which we spend so much of the time
does not furnish enough oxygen to the
lungs to burn out the foul matter in the
blood. In the cold season we do not exer-
else as much and the skin and kidneysd do
not throw off the waste matter as freely
as usual. The system becomes overloaded
with poisonous matter, and too feeble
to throw it off. Relief can be had only
through the use Of a remedy that will
promptly and thoroughly purify and
strengthen the blood, and the one best
adapted for this purpose is the great
blood tonic known as DIR. Williams Pink
Pills.
"They acted like magic in my case,"
said Mrs. Clara T.. Wilde, of No. 377
Farnsworth avenue, Detroit, Mich. ct
was weak and thin and could not sleep.
My stomach and nerves were out of or
der. I can't describe how miserable
really was. I dragged through six
months of feebleness, growing weaker
all the time until finally hadn strength
enough to leave my bed.
"Then glad day came, the day when
began to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
They made me feel strong right away.
My appetite came back, I took on flesh
and the color returned to my cheeks.
People wondered that these pills did for
me what the doctors couldn't do. I took
only six boxes and then was perfectly
well. If had not found this wonderful
remedy I surely think that must have
wasted to death. Believing firmly that
these pills saved my life by the strength
which they gave me at critical mo-
ment, unhesitatinglyr recommend them
to others"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain no
stimulant but give strength thai lasts.
They may be obtained at any drug
store.

The relation of the nerves and gen.

that nine-tenths of the nervous pros

Sleeplessness and nervous irritability

that one minute she laughs, the next
minute weeps; pain in the abdominal

Nothing will relieve this distressing
