A CURE FOR DEBILITY
Or. Williams Pink Pills A Reliable
Remedy for the Weak, AiIina
and BIoosIess

When the body is weak and the blood
thin it IS sometimes difficult to find the
cause unless a wasting illness has pre-
coded, or the sufferer happens to be 8
girl on the verge of womanhood.
Obscure influences, something IN
healthful in ones surroundings or work,
may lead to slow impoverishment of
the blood and an enfeeblement of the
whole body. When a serious stage has
been reached there seems to be nothing
that will account for it.
Mr.. @. E. Legg, of Upton, W. Va.
has found a successful method of treat
ing weakness and bloodlessness. He
says:
81 used DR. Williams Pink Pills for
weakness caused by a lingering malarial
fever that began in the spring of 1896.
The worst effects of this were iudiges-
ton and bad state of my blood. Twas
anamic, as the doctors say. People
generally would say that didn't have
blood enough, or that didn't have the
right kind of blood mine was too thin.
My kidneys and liver were out Of order.
/ was badly annoyed by sour risings
from my stomach. There was a good
deal of pain, too, in my back and under
my right shoulder blade.''
How long did these troubles 1ast?"
For over two years. For four
months OF that time | was under the
care OF physician, but bis medicine did
me no good. Meanwhile I learned of
the cures that had been wrought by DIR.
Williams Pink Pills"
"You owe your cure TO these pills p

they are helping others to whom have
recommended them. They have real
merit and know of nothing that would
take their place.

"COFFEE JAGs."

The Doctor Named Them Correctly
Some one said Coffee never hurts
any one" Enquire of your friends and
note their experiences.
A Philadelphia woman says:
During the last or years I be-
came subject to what the doctor called
coffee jags' and felt like l have heard
men say they feel who have drank too
much rum. 1t nauseated me, and l felt
as though there was nothing but coffee
flowing through my veins.
Coffee agreed well enough for
time, but for a number of years I
have known that it was doing me great
harm, but, like the rum topper, 1 thought
| could not get along without it. 1t
made me nervous, disOrdered my diges-
ton, destroyed my sleep and brought on
frequent and very distressing head
aches.
when I got what the doctor called
coffee Jag on, would give up drink
Ing it for a few days till my stomach
regained a little strength, but 1 was
always fretful and worried and ner-
vOus till was able to resume the use
of the drug.
about a year ago 1 was persuaded
to try Postum, but as l got it in res
taurants it was nothing but a sloppy
mess, sometimes cold, and always weak,
and of course l didn't like it. Finally
l prepared some myself, at home, fol-
lowing the directions carefully, and
found it delicious. / persevered in its
use, quitting the old coffee entirely, and
feeling better and better each day, till
found at last, to my great joy, that
my ailments had all disappeared and
my longing for coffee had come to an
end.
Il have heretofore suffered intensely
rom utter exhaustion, besides the other
ailments and troubles, but this summer,
using Postum, I have felt fine" Name

There's q reason.
Restaurant cooks rarely prepare Pos
tum Coffee properly. They do not let
1t boil long enough.
