"A DUTY THAT
s EVERY WOMAN
OWES HER SELF
10 Guard Her Health At Important
Times in Her Life When Her
Physical Condition Will
Decide Her
Future.

1t is useless to tell Woodworking
woman to take life easy and not worry
But 1t is the duty of every woman
as she approaches the age Of forty to
save her strength as much as posi-
Bile. to take her cares as lightly as
may be, and to build up her system
to meet any unusual demands upon 1t.
1t Is duty not only to herself. but
to her family, for her future health
depends upon 1t.
To guard against a complete break
down in health. the blood mustgbe kept
pure and rich. No other medicine does
this SO well, as DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. for they act both on the blood
and on the nerves, restore the appe-
tite, and keep every organ toned up
All women cannot rest whenever they
should. but this strengthening n1edi-
chefs within every wonan's reach.
Mrs Mary j.. Mcdaniel, OF 1172 North
Church Street, Decatur ILL.,, says:
IT became rundown IN healtl, n few
years ago. and ovar six months
grew worse daily. witt, no prospect
OF relief. / suffered from such terrible
pains In the. top of my head that
thought I should go crazy. My limbs
were always cold. and I was often so
dizzy and short Of breath that could
hardly get about the house. My blood
was thin, anu lost over thlrty pounos
in weight. Many days had to give
up and go to bed.
MY doctor said he could not help
me. and later. when I had hacking

with ease. have the greatest faith
In the pills as a tonic for weak. run
