DECLARES THIS
is IDEAL REMEDY
FOR SPRING ILLS
This Vermont Woman Was Run Down
and Weak Until She Used DR..
williams Pink Pills.

Do you find it hard these spring days
to apply yourself to your work? DO
YOU feel tired, without ambition or en-
ergy? These are the symptoms of a
condition which our grandparents used
to meet each spring with tonic and
medical practice to-day supports their
wisdom. During the winter months the
blood frequently becomes weak and thin,
especially in those whose work keeps
them indoors most of the time.
Weak blood frequently causes indi-
gestion, lack of appetite, sleeplesshess,
exhaustion and palpitation of the heart.
All of these symptoms will yield to the
right tonic as was demonstrated in the
case of Mrs. John Gregware, of No 81
South Main street, Barre, vt. She says:
81 generally need a tonic in the spring
but last year / was so badly run down
that it was a great effort for me to do
my work ! was tired most of the time
and when | attempted to climb stairs or
to do my homework / had difficulty in
breathing.
Several years ago had used DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills and | decided TO give
them a trial again and found them even
more effective than usual After taking
one box | recovered my strength, felt
like doing my work and had no feeling
of exhaustion nor spells of breathless-
ness. consider DIR. Williams Pink Pills
fine spring tonic and have recommend
ed them to several of my friends.
The purpose of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills is to build up the blood. They do
this one thing and they do 1t well. They
are for this reason an invaluable remedy
in diseases arising from bad or deficient
blood, as rheumatism, neuralgia, after
effects of the grip and fevers. The pills
are guaranteed to be free from opiates
or any harmful drug and cannot injure
the most delicate system.
Building Up the Blood" is a booklet
full of useful information. Every moth
err and every growing girl should have
one. 1t is sent free on request by the
DR.. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady,
IN. Y. Your own druggist sells Dr. Will
liams' Pink Pills or they will be sent by
mail, postpaid, on receipt of price, fifty
cents per box; six boxes for S2.50.-Ady.
