Causes-WOrry, after-efects of acute i'll
ness, lack of nourishment due to dis
ordered 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 ten
dency to fatigue easily, ringing in the
ears, black spots passing before the eyes,
weak back, dizziness, wakefulness caused
by inability to stop thinking, and unre-
freshing sleep.
Debility is dangerous because it weak
ems 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 build
ing up.

ditions with DR.. Williams Pink Pills is
based on sound medical principles and
common sense. These pills build up the
blood so tSat it nourishes every part OF
the body, nerves as well as muscles and
brings vigor, strength and health.

Wisconsin Methodism; for one Thomas
A. Lawson was sterling p1llpiteer,
