beautiful but she will soon fade. She
will be fortunate if sh.s escapes . physical
breakdown because the ease with which
she tires IL probably the first warning
symptom of q thinning of the blood that
cannot be disregarded.
Thin blood may give an attractive PAL
lor for short time but soon the patient
becomes thin. fat-chested, haggard and
angular. The only beauty that endures
is that Of rich, red blood shining through
q transparent skin.
Almost any girl can build up her blood
by using DIR. Williams' Pink Pills. They
are useful to growing girls, 70 pale girls,
thin girls and those who get tired or out
of breath easily. Mothers of such girls
should see to it that the tendency to
anemia is checked by the use of DR.. Will
liams Pink Pills before the trouble be-
comes chronic.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills viii build up
the blood if anything will. They are
free from opiates or harmful drugs and
can be taken with perfect safety by any
