A PROVIDENCE WOMAN CURED
After Doctors Had Disagreed and Their Treatment Had
 Failed to Bring Relief.

Owing to the remarkable obstinacy ol
 the disease the cure of Mrs. Ada M
 Davis, of l25 Laban street, Providence
 k. l., is of great interest to other suffer, CTS whomay be discouraged and inclined to abandon hope of recovery. Mrs. Davis says:
 "l suffered for several years with weakness common to my sex. l was sick from my girlhood and suffered ter. rlbly every month. I was so nervous that any little thing would upset me. would wake up at night with q smoth. ering sensation. My digestion was poor and my heart troubled me great deal.
 "The doctor said must not work nor even walk. Twas weak and despondent, especially as the doctors didn't seem to know what the trouble was.
 "They didn't agree as to my trouble and 1t was only after years of suffering that began using Dr. Williams Pink Pills. felt l was gaining after taking a few boxes and took the pills until cured. l have been in perfect health since and attribute it to Dr. Williams Pink Pills"
 These pills are guaranteed to be safe and harmless to the most delicate con- stitution. They contain no morphine, opiate, narcotic, nor anything to cause a drug habit. They do not act on the bowels but they actually make new blood and strengthen the nerves. If you want good health you must have good blood. Bad blood is the root of all common diseases, like anamia, rheu. matism, sciatica, neuralgia, St. Vitus' dance, nervousness, indigestion, debil. ity, general weakness, paralysis, loco. motor ataxia and the special ailments that only women-folk know.
 One of the best things about these pills is the fact that they do not contain the slightest trace of any harmful drug. While they are overcoming disease they are building up general conditions of { good health.
 A booklet entitled "Plain Talks to Women" will be sent free upon request to any woman interested.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes for s2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
