TONIC FOR GROWING GIRLS

Most growing girls need tonic,
especially during the years when they
are springing up most rapidly and
when their appetites are most tickle.
A diet of tea and candy will ruin any
girls chances of future happiness. A
plentiful and scientifically correct diet
might meet all requirements but this is
next to impossible. Hence the need
for tonic. Almost every Doctors
daughter is given a tonic during her
period of rapid growth but because your
daughter does not actually break down
you do not call doctor and she gets
thin and pale, fdgets so that she can
not sit still on chair, eats the wrong
things, eats too fast, gets too little out.
of-door exercise and perhaps faces St.
Vitus' Dance, or nervous breakdown.
A great responsibility rests on parents
and DR.. Williams Pink Pills are the
best and most convenient tonic to aid
them in bringing their daughters to
healthy and happy womanhood. They
supply needed elements to the blood,
and enable it to meet the unusual de-
mands upon it and help to lay a founda.
ton for future health.
The price of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
is fifty cents per box. Your own drug
gist sells them or they will be sent on
receipt of price by the DR.. Williams
