DANGEROUS DEBILITY

Debility may result from a number
of causes-worry, after-effects of
acute illness, lack Of nourishment due
to disordered digestion, or anything
that makes the blood thin, thereby
preventing it from carrying health
and nourishment to the tissues Of the
body.
The symptoms of debility vary but
weakness is always present, often a
! tendency to fatigue easily, ringing in
the ears, black spots passing before
fuIness caused by inability to stop
thinking, and undressing sleep.
Debility is dangerous because it
weakens the body's defence against
disease. For instance. debilitated
people take cold easily and winter is
always a trying time for them. When
one cold follows another the system
surely needs building up.
The treatment Of such down
conditions with DR. Williams Pink
Pills is based on sound medical prin-
ciples and common sense. These
pills build up the blood SO that it
nourishes every part Of the body,
nerves as well as muscles and brings
vigor, strength and health.
Mention this paper and we will mail
you the booklet Building Up the
Blood" Address: DR.. Williams Medi-
cine Co., Schenectady, n. 7. Your
