90 You DREAD The COLD?

Some people enjoy cold weather, take
pleasure in winter sports and the keen
air calls the pink to their cheeks and the
red to their lips. Others shrink from
cold and turn blue at the least exposure
to frosty air.
The difference is in the blood. Rich,
red blood warns the body. Every long
breath OF pure cold air increases the oxy-
gen it carries to everypart of the system.
Thin blood is unable to take up the life
sustaining oxygen. The body lacks nour-
ishment and the sufferer is always cold,
takes chill easily and is miserable all
winter.
Thin blood is largely the sufferers own
fault 1t results from neglect, because
the bioGsd can be built up. DIR. Williams
Pink Pills supply the elements that the
blood needs to make it rich and red and
to enable it to carry more oxygen. Build
ing up the red portion of the blood is
simple but because thin blood does not
call attention to itself it is often neglected.
Have you seriously considered taking
course of treatment with these blood
making pills? Ii you are in doubt write
for information.
Your own druggist sells DIR. Williams
Pink Pills and the DR.. Williams Medi-
cine Co., Schenectady, N. Y, will send
