WEIGHT AND HEALTH.
THIN, NERVOUS PEOPLE NEED
THE TONIC TREATMENT.
rhls Woman Took Or. Williams Pink
Pills, Gained Thirty Pounds and
Has Boon Wall Evof Since.


How many women-and men teo-
arc suffering from general decline in
health which the ordinary remedies
seem unable to check How many nus.
bands see their wives wasting away,
steadily losing health and beauty, and
arc powerless to helpl Consumption
and other germ diseases find in these
debilitated systems easy prey, for the
lowered vitality is unequal to the task Of
fighting of 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
% Court street, Utica, N. Y. Her case
IL 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 I
could hardly see and black spots floated
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.

had sinking spells and grew pale and
nervous. was 80 thin that I weighed
only 95 pounds.
Zone day when at the drug store to
got 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 a
hearty appetite and I now weigh over
1870 pounds. believe the pills to be the
best tonic and builder woman can take,
NJ they certainly helped mo 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.

are taking does not cure you. write for
proof of what DR.. Williams Pink Pills
have done in similar cases.
