Debility is loss of vitality, not affect
ing any one part Of the body particularly
but thesystem generally. Its dangerous
because it reduces the body's resistance
to disease.
When debility follows acute diseases,
convalescence is slow and the strength
does not return as it should. An attack
of the grip often results in debility that
persists for months. Everybody recog-
nizes that the remedy for debility is to
build up the blood because the blood
goes to every part OF the body and an i'm.
provement in it's condition is quickly
felt throughout the system. The prob
lem in every case. is to find something
that will enrich the blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills suit most peo.
pies need because they are nom 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 women whose nervous
energy has been overdrawn. They are
certainly worthy of trial in every case
