A WOMAN'S HEALTH

Every woman's health is peculiarly de.
pendent upon the condition of her blood.
How many women suffer with headache,
pain in the back, poor appetite, weak
digestion, constant feeling of WEAKNESS,
palpitation of the heart, shortness OF
breath, pallor and nervousness? Ii you
have any of these symptoms, do not des-
pair OF getting better but begin now, to-
day, to build up your blood with DR..
Williams Pink Pills. See how the ner-
vous energy of the body is restored as
the blood becomes pure and red and the
entire system is strengthened TO meet
every demand upon it.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are useful for
all women but they are particularly yalu-
able to girls OF school age who show
symptoms of going into a decline, who
become pale, nervous and languid. These
pills aid in securing perfect development
and health by strengthening the system
and purifying and building up the blood.
Thin blood during the growing years of
q girls life usually means hat-chested
and hollow-cheeked womanhood. There
can be neither health nor beauty with
out red blood which gives brightness to
the eyes and color to cheeks and lips.
Write now to the DR.. Williams Medi-
cine Co., Schenectady, \. Y, for two
helpful booklets, "Plain Talks to Wo-
men" and Building Up the Blood"

police committee in reviewing the year
with the police department. The num-
Der of arrests for 1918 is somewhat
smaller than in other years because of

chased 1000 feet of hose and returned
