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 y always present, often a
tendency. to fatigue easily. ringing in
the ears. black spots passing before
the eyes. weak back. dizzine.-. wake
ifulness caused by inability to stop
thinking, and unrefreshing sleep.
Debility Is dangerous because it
weakens the body's defence against
disease. For instance, debiuated
people take cold easily and winter is
always a trying time for them. Whea
one cold follows another the system
surely needs building up.
The treatment Of such run down
conditions with Dr. Williams PINK
Pills is based on sound medical prin-
ctples and common sense. These
pills build up the blood SO that it
nourtshes every part OF the body,
nerves as well as muscles and brings
vigor. strength and health.

that if the owners of the cotton do not
make other arrangements for it's ship

it is known the British objection was
