BLOODLESS
PEOPLE
Hundreds Are Suffering from
Anaemia and Don't Know II.
Tho Disease Approsches SteslthlIy.
the Decline In Health 10 Gradual
and Unless tho Tonic Treatment
ls Taken May End Fatally.

Nothing in medical science is more
direct and more reasonably certain than
the action of DR.. Williams Pink Pills in
cases of an@mia, a disease which is liter
ally condition approaching bloodless-
ness and which IL neglected, inevitably
results in decline and death. An@mia
is stealthy in approaching its victim and
often is well advanced before IL is de-
tected. On this account 1t is necessary
TO begin treatment as soon as the first
symptoms are noted.
Mrs. Elizabeth Barnett, of COS Ash
land avenue, Buffalo, N. Y, was cured
by these pills. She says:
During the spring of three years ago
I began to suffer with an@mia. I was
overworked and did not rest nor derive
nourishment from my food Every
thing l ate felt heavy in my stomach,
gas formed on it and had no appetite.
My hands and feet were cold, was
troubled with dizzy spells and my lips
and cheeks turned white i had severe
backaches at times and 1t was hard work
for me to bend or stoop over to pick up
anything. My sleep was restless, my
head ached great deal and grew quite
weak.
II was sick about year before be-
gan to try DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
They soon helped me and used them
until cured. My appetite became hearty,
j grew strong and have since been
entirely well. We consider the pills the
best blood builder and tonic medicine to
be had"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are the great
est builder of rich, new blood and they
have been curing an@mia and other
blood diseases for nearly generation,
during which time they have come to be
recognized as an invaluable household
remedy.
A valuable booklet, Diseases of the
Blood" containing fuller information
about anemia, rheumatism and other
diseases of the blood will be sent free
upon request.
