Doctors have given the Greek name anaemia, meaning "bloodlessness” to a disease which is much more prevalant among young women than is generally believed. In its early stages the disease is nobgmarked by any decided symptoms. and often makes considerable advance before its presence is noticed. A feeling ‘ of fatigue after slight exercise, breathless- ‘ ness and pallor of the face are the first noticeable signs. Unless there is prompt: and efiecbive treatment: the disease then makes rapid progress, and the victim presents every appearance of going into a decline or consumption. The only “1°- cessfui method of treating anaemia is to build up the blocd, and the best. medicine in the world for this purpose is Dr. Williams’ Pink Pillfl for Pale People.
