They are the victims of a feeling of 'hopeless' exhaustion after the per: formance of even the small tasks. which were once the simplest and | easiest parts of the day's work. They find the appetite failing, sleep is dis- 'turbed and unrefreshing; they lose weight, and always feel tired and dé- pressed. In this condition a blood- building tonic is needed to restore health and activity, and for this pur- pose Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are un- surpassed. Often the trouble will have progressed to a point which makes full recovery slow, but the treatment should be persisted in and renewed health and activity will be the result. The case of Mrs. W. Schooley, R.R. No. 2, THsonburg, Ont. well illus: trates the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in cases of health breakdown, through weak, 'watery blood. Mrs. Schooley says: "For upwards of five years I felt my strength declining, un- around the place. Then a doctor was called in, and after doctoring abdut a month he said that only an operation would help me. I did not feel like go- ing through this, and decided that in any event I would wait a while, I had no appetite, often had headaches ac- companied by dizzy spells; several times I had fainting spells, and my legs would swell, and.I could not even sweep a floor without resting several times. Again a doctor was called -in and he said the trouble was general debility and nervous breakdown. The treatment, however, did not help me, and then one evening as my husband was reading the paper, he came across a casé in many respects similar to mine, cured through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The next day he got me a supply of the Pills, and to their continued faithful use for several months, I owe my present splendid health. I may say that soon after beginning the use of the pills I felt a gradual fmprovement in my con- dition, my appetite improved, I began to feel rested after a night's sleep and I gained in weight. My friends were continually expressing surprise at my improved condition, as it was general- ly believed I had become a chronic in- valid, 1 always take a delight in tell- ing them that Dr. Williams' Pink Pils -are. responsible for my present good health, and as they have been a real blessing to me I shall always continue to praise them."
