WOMEN At FORTY
IMPORTANCE OF PRESERVING
THE HEALTH AT THAT TINE.
Proof of One Case in Which a Weak,
Nervous and Discouraged Woman
Was MarvelouSIy Helped by
the Tonic Treatment

Women approach their fortieth year
with worry and uncertainty, for the
manner in which they pass that crisis
determines the health of their after-life
During this most important time in the
life of woman, her whole aim should
be to build up and strengthen her sys-
tenn to meet the unusual demands upon
it. Devotion to family should not lead
to neglect of self but hard work and
household cares and worries should be
avoided as far as possible. Whether
she is able to do this or not, no woman
should fail to take the tonic treatment
if she is entering this critical period in
a weak, rundown and nervous condi-
ton. tonic medicine is one that
builds UP the blood and for this pur-
pose, the experience Of thousands of
women has shown that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills have no equal
Mrs. Martha Dennis, of 1923 West
Cedar street, Kalamazoo. Mich, is one
who owes her health to this treatment.
She says:

was advised by a friend to try DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills and the benefit I re-
ceived from the first few boxes was
remarkable. I was cured much sooner
than 1 hoped and have been in good
health ever since"
Drowsiness, a feeling of heaviness,
pain in the front of the head, nausea
and even vomiting, dizziness, faintness,
hot flashes followed by chills and pro-
fuse perspiratfon are some of the signs
that indicate the need of tonic treat
ment as the. change approaches. If this
is your condition you should not wait
another day before giving DR.. Williams
Pink Pills a trial. The best proof of
their merit is what they have actually
done for others. Our booklet plain
Talks to Women" gives proof Of the
help given in many such cases, and
much other valuable information for
suffering women.
