WINTER WEAKNESS
LACK OF OXYGEN WEAkENS
MUSCLES AND NERVES.
Or. Williams Pink Pills the Tonic
That Most People Need.

In winter the air of the close rooms in
which we spend SO much of the time
does not furnish enough oxygen 10 the
lungs to burn out the foul matter IN the
blood Everyone knows the uucomfort-
able feelings that follow the breathing
of bad air and that are cured by simply
opening window fora short time. The
worst effects, however, are those which
are stored up and do not appear at once.
In the cold season we do not exercise
As much and the skin and kidneys do not
throw off the waste matter as freely as
usual. The whole system gets clogged
Just rs n machine does when it Is not
cleaned with frequency. The stomach
does its work feebly and gets less nour-
tshment out OF the food So there Is
weakness everywhere weak organs,
weak muscles, weak nerves The sys-
tenn becomes overloaded with poisonous
matter, and too feeble to throw 1t of.
Relief can be had only through the use
of 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 DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
"They acted like magic Ill my case,
said Mrs. Clara L. Wilde, of No. 377
Farnsworth avenue, Detroit. Mich. 81
was weak and thin and could not sleep.
My stomach and nerves were ont Of or
der. | cant describe how miserable
really was. [ dragged through six
months of feebleuess. growing weaker
all the time until finally hadn t strength
enough to leave my bed.
"Then glad day came, the day when
/ began 10 take DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
They made me feel strong right away.
Nv appetite came back took on flesh
and the color returned to my cheeks.
People wondered that these pills did for
me what the doctors couldn' do. took
only six boxes and then l was perfectly
well If had not found this wonderful
remedy I surely think that must have
wasted 10 death Relieving firmly that
these pills saved my life by the strength
which they gave me at IL critical mo-
ment, unhesitatingly recommend them
to others
DR. Williams Pink Pills contain no
alcohol and do not produce false strength.
They do not contain II single grain OF
any harmful drug They give strength
that lasts They may be obtained at any
drug store.
