for women.
cit was three years ago last spring
that my health failed me-" says Mrs
Arthur Conklin, of No. 8 Coldwater
street, Battle Creek, Mich. II suffered
from leucorrhGa and other troubles
that, presume, were caused by the
weakness it produced. 1 had sinking
spells, nervous headaches, was weak
and exhausted all the time and looked
like walking skeleton.
my back and limbs would ache al
most continually and there were days
when 1 was absolutely helpless from
sick headache. tried one doctor after
another but cannot say that they helped
me at all. My liver was sluggish and
l was troubled some with constipation.
zone day physician who has now
retired from practice met my husband
on the street and inquired about my
health. He advised my husband to get
some of DIR. Williams Pink Pills for me,
said they were good medicine, better
for my trouble than he could put up. 1
felt better after taking the first box but
took six boxes and was entirely cured.
AS soon as the leucorrhoea was cured
the headaches and other pains stopped.
/ am entirely cured but / intend to con-
tinue to use DIR. Williams Pink Pills as
a spring tonic"
Mrs. Conklin permits the publication
Of her statement in the hope and belief
that it will help suffering women to find
the remedy that will cure them. Dr.
Williams Pink Pills actually make new
blood They don't act on the bowels.
They don't bother with mere symptoms.
They strike straight at the common
root of disease. But, of course, you
must get the genuine pills. Substitutes
and limitations never cured anybody

sold by all druggists, or will be sent, post
paid, ON receipt of price, 30 cents per
