PALE SCHOOL CHILDREN

This is the time of the year that school
children grow pale. Confined indoors,
for many hours day, studying at night,
perhaps, deprived of much out-of-door
exercise, their blood grows thin. Com
pare your child's complexion with what
it was last summer. Probably you have
not realized how thin the blood was GET
ting because the change was SO gradual.
When child formerly bright and
active loses color and finds play an eff
tort, but prefers to sit still and read,
there is every reason to suspect that the
blood is getting thin, that the child is
anemic. Sometimes there is headache
and nosebleed. These confirm the sus-
picion. 1t is condition that is full of
danger, for thin blood is an open door to
many diseases, especially during change
full weather. But it is a condition that is
easily remedied if taken in time. DR..
Williams Pink Pills can be obtained at
any drug store. A ffty-cent box con-
tains about two weeks treatment and
these pills are great blood-builder and
invigorator. They are just the sort Of
non-alcoholic tonic that many children
need.
Write today to the DR.. Williams Medi-
cine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. for the free
book Building Up the Blood" and learn
all about the treatment A diet book
will also be sent free on request.

WHY WOMEN

To lydia E. Pinkham Medi-

Women who are we'll often ask care
the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
penuine?" care they truthful ? !"
"Why do women write such letters? ="
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
ham s Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
It has relieved women from some of
