Those who take Dr.. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People a. tonic invari-
ably say that their improvement began
with . noticeable increase in the appe-
tito. When you are sick and your Vi
tality IL low your appetite fails. Moth.
ing tastes good. You take no pleasure
in your meals. Under such circum-
stances good digestion Is impossible.
DR.. WilliamsT Pink Pills tone up the
entire system, the blood is enriched
and good red blood il essential to nor.
NAL digestion. The glands that secrete
the digestive fluids are strengthened,
not merely stimulated, and you once
more enjoy q good appetite. Looking
forward pleasurably TO meal.time is the
first sign of returning health, strength
and vitality.
What to eat then becomes . problem
and it is solved by the diet book that
the DR.. Williams Medicine Co., Schen.
ectady, N. Y, will send you on re-
quest. It gives herelative digestibility
of Different foods, gives the proper diet
in various diseases and is q handy book
to have.
The price of DR.. williams Pink Pills

Wonderful Cures

VITAL QUESTIONS ANSWERED

The evidence that Prof. Caldwell
has presented to the public for the
past year Is of such a character as
not only to convince the most in
credulous Of his skill in the treatment
Of disease. but also satisfies and in
spires faith, because the patients
themselves (your friends and neigh
bors) who have been rescued by him
from a condition Of desperation and
hopelessness, have described their
symptoms and testified to the thor
oughness and relia bility Of their cures.
Very many have come without hope
(in many instances to satisfy the de-
sire Of their friends) and been cured.
II Prof. Caldwell can cure these peo-
sple, is it not reasonable<to suppose he
lean cure you? It is certainly worth a
trial.
