WEIGHT AND HEALTH
THIN, NERVOUS PEOPLE NEED
THE TONIC TREATMENT.
This Woman Took Or. Williams Pink
Pills, Gained Thirty Pounds and
Has Been Well Ever Since.

How many wonderland men too
are suffering from a general decline in
health which the ordinary remedies
seem unable to check! How many hus-
bands see their wives wasting away,
steadily losing health and beauty, and
are powerless to help! Consumption
and other germ diseases find in these
debilitated systems easy prey, for the
lowered vitality is unequal to the task Of
fighting off the infection of these diseases
to which most Of US are almost daily ex-
posed.
The symptoms indicating the decline
which may have results so fatal could
scarcely be better described than in the
statement of Mrs. William Manley, Of
80 Cours street, Utica, N. Y. Her case
is typical one. She says:
"For six months after the birth Of my
baby, suffered from sick, dizzy head
aches, which seemed like q rush of
blood to my forehead, just back Of my
eyes. Some days they twitched SO ]
could hardly see and black spots foated
before them. The least exertion brought
on this sickness. My appetite was poor
and was often sick to my stomach.
"If tried to work my feet soon be-
| came swollen, paining me terribly. I
had sinking spells and grew pale and
nervous. was SO thin that weighed
only 95 pounds.
zone day when at the drug store to
get headache powders decided to try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills instead. /
soon noticed that my headache was dis
appearing and my nerves gradually
grew stronger. The pills gave me
| hearty appetite and I now weigh over
| 130 pounds. believe the pills to be the
best tonic and builder woman can take,
as they certainly helped me when my
| condition was critical and have never
been seriously i'll SINCE"
| The great value of DR.. Williams Pink
| Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion of the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
| nerves are strengthened, every organ Is
stimulated to do its work.
| If you are i'll and the treatment you
are taking does not cure you, write for
proof Of what DIR. Williams Pink Pills
have done in similar cases.
Your druggist sells them or they will
be sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt of
| price, 80 cents per box, six boxes for
$3.50, by the DR.. Williams Medicine Co.,

Good Theory. Poor Practice.

To encourage temperance the Brit
fish admiralty allows 36 cents a month
to sailors who forego their daily ra-
ton of rum. But, as a sailor who does
not wish to drink rum can draw his
rations and sell them to other sail
ors at 80 cents or even more month,
the temperance plan is not so sue
