WHEN YOUR COLOR FADES

When a girls color fades, when her
cheeks and lips grow pale and she gets
short Of breath easily and her heart
palpitates after slight exertion or I'm
der the least excitement it means that
she is suffering from thin blood.
Headache and backache often ac-
company this condition and nervous
ness is frequently present.
The remedy, of course, is to build
up the blood and for this purpose DIR.
Williams Pink Pills are recommended.
They are the remedy best suited to re-
store the blood, bring brightness to
the eyes and put color in the cheeks
and lips.
The only other treatment needed
costs nothing. 1t is this. Give the
patient plenty of sunlight, moderate
exercise every day, not enough to
cause fatigue, and use care in the diet
because the food craved is often not
the best for the condition.
Two books, Building Up the Blood"
and 'What to Eat and How to Eat"
give just the information that every
mother of growing girl needs. They
are free. Write for them today TO
The DR.. Williams Medicine Co., Schen-
ectady, N. Y. Your own druggist sells
DIR. Williams Pink Pills or they will be
mailed postpaid on receipt of price, 30
cents per box, six boxes for $3.50.
