AFTER YOU ARE FORTY

Forty is the age of greatest effort
with most people. Vitality is used up
at the most rapid pace. The struggle
to secure a competence for old age
produces nerve strain, the failure to
succeed causes worry, nervous break
down, neurasthenia.
Middle-aged people find that they
cannot run as fast, nor are they as
agile as in youth. The internal organs
also feel the effect of age. The di-
gestion resents things that it accepted
before, the heart palpitates on slight
eXertion, the muscles of the back ache
after n days work. Your blood is
thinner and not so bright red as
formerly.
When these things occur, whether
you are fourteen or forty, you need a
tonic. DIR. Williams Pink Pills suit
most peoples need because they are
on-alcoholic and they really build UP
the blood and strengthen the nerves.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are useful for
growing children and for men and wo-
men whose nervous energy has been
overdrawn. They are certainly worthy
OF a trial in every case of weak nerves
and thin blood.
Your druggist sells DR.. Williams
Pink Pills or they will be sent by mail
postpaid, on receipt of price, so cents
per box, six boxes $3.50 by the Dr.
