A TONIC I'M THE
SPRING INCREASES
YOUR EFFICIENCY
Law the Foundation of Good Health Now by Building
Un Your Blood and STRENGTHENING Your Nerves.

The GOOD old-fashion Of taking ton
ic in the springtime, like most Of the
customs Of our grandfathers, Is based
71pon sound common sense and good
medical practice. Nc matter how mild
the winter 1t Is q trying time, even IN
the most favored climates, for those
who are not in the most rugged physi-
cal health. Many men, women and
children 60 through the winter upon
the reserve strength that they have
stored up during the sunny, summer
months and grow increasingly thin and
pale as the spring days approach. A
tonic for the blood and nerves at this
time VIII do much for such people, by
putting color in cheeks and lips and
banishing the tired feeling that made
spring fever In the old days another
name for laziness.
You cannot be energetic If your
blood is thin and weak. You cannot
compete with others IN business If you
are nervous. If you do not get refresh
ing sleep at night or If You are losing
in weight. You need a tonic at this
time to add TO your efficiency as well
as TO save you from suffering later on
A non-alcoholic tonic is best suited
for most cases of debility, for stimu-
lauts aggrayate many forms Of nerv-
business That such a remedy IS avail
able, with complete directions for home
use that makes building up your
strength a comparatively simple mat

Improve Your Appetite.
Those who take Dr.. Williams Pink

Nothing tastes good. You take no
pleasure in your meals. Under such
circumstances good digestion is impos-
sible.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills tone up the
entire system, the blood is enriched
and good red blood Is essential to nor
NAL digestion. The glands that secrete
the digestive fluids are strengthened,
not merely stimulated, and you once
more enjoy a good appetite. Looking
