'When a girl in her teens becomes | peeyish,. listless and dull, when noth: ing seems to interest her and dainties do not tempt her appetite you may be certain that she needs more good. blood than her system is provided with. . Before long her pallid cheeks, frequent headaches. and breathless: i ness and heart palpitation will confirm that she is anaemic. Many mothers as the result of their own girlhood ex- perience can promptly detect the early 'signs. of anaemia and the wise mother does not wait for the trouble to de- velop further, but at once gives her daughter a course with Dr. Willlams' Pink Pills, which renew the blood sup- ply and banish anaemia before it has | obtained a hold on the system. Out of their experience thousands of mothers know that anaemia fs the sure road to worse ills. They know the difference that good red blood makes in the development of 'woman- ly health. Every headache, every gasp for breath that follows the slightest exertion by the anaemic girl, every pain she suffers in her back and Hmbs are reproaches if you have not taken the best steps to give your weak girl new blood, and the only sure way to do so is through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. - New, rich, red blood is infused into system' by every 4 Pills, and take them yourself and note how promptly their influence is feit in better health You can get these pills' 'through any dealer in medicine or by mail postpaid at 60. cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Willlams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. : given every 8d gre sumbers {each bottle. | tornia." 2 says a London newspaper, _{aible with the army during the Secot- "I nized "post-office" of his time.

"But, as is commonly known, we are mainly indebted to the preservering labors of Mr. Rowland Hill, who gave the first intimation of his improved postage plan in a pamphlet in 1837.
