The v ki THE SECRET OF HEALTH Is Rich, Red Blood--Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Make New Blood. Good blood--rich, red blood--is the only cure for such complaints as an- acmia, decline, heart palpitation, skin eruptions, rheumatism, kidney trou- bles and a host of other every day silments. Good blood makes you less liable to disease of evety Kind, because it strengthens and stimulates every organ in the body to throw off any ailment that may attack it. Good blood is the secret of life, and the se cret of good, rich, red blood is Dr. or Alig Pink Pills for Pale People. Theset little 'blood-building pills have saved Jives 'that doctors and nurses have despaired of. . They have cuted thousands of others--they will cure. you too. Mrs. William Boothe, Mont- rose, Ont., says: "For a couple off, years my daughter Meta was in fail- ing health. She complained of head- aches and distressing weakness, and seemed to be rapidly going into de- cline. Wo consulted several doctors, but they did not help her. She was apparently bloodless, and we were afraid she would not" recover. She had no "appetite and 'was greatly re- duced in flesh. At this stage a friend advised me to give her Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and in a few weeks we noticed some improvement in her con- dition, and that her appetite was im- proving. We continued the treatment for a couple of months longer, and by that time she was again i: the best of health. She bad gained' thirty-two pounds in weight, had a good color, and was in the. best of spirits. 1 do not think 1 am putting it too strong- ly when I say I think Dr. William' Pink Pills saved her life." Dr.; Williams' Pink Pills do only one thing, but they do that well. They do not. act upon the bowels; they do not bother with mere symptoms. They actually make the new, rich, red blood that goes right to the root of the disease and drives it from the system.
