A FINE COMPLEXION

A girls complexion is something
more than a matter to concern her
vanity. 1t is an indication of the state
of her health. Pallor in a growing
girl means a thinning of the blood.
Eruptions mean impurities in the
blood. Parents should be watchful of
their daughters complexions, and
should see to it that these danger
signs are corrected. not covered up.
When a girl in her teens becomes
pale and sallow, especially If, at the
same time. she shows an inclination
to tire easily, a listlessness and mat
tention to her work or studies, she
needs DR.. Williams Pink Pills, tonic
which directly and specifically cor
rects the condition from which she is
suffering. A chemical analysis of the
blood of such a girl would show it to
be deficient in just the elements that
DR.. Williams Pink Pills can supply,
but the physical signs are plain.
Every girl should read the chapter on
''Chlorosis" in the free booklet, Build
ing Up the Blood" 1t tells Just what
to do and gives directions regarding
diet, exercise and rest.
The girl with a muddy complexion
should have the booklet, "a Dainty
Laxative" which tells about Pinklets.
These books will be sent free on re-
quest by the DR.. Williams Medicine
Company, Schenectady, N. Y. Your
own druggist can supply DIR. Williams
Pink Pills.-Advertisem
