No. 2, Alberton, P.R.I, "when my husband went overseas and I was left with the care of a farm and stock, with no help bit that of a young boy. My health broke down and for the first time in my life I became ut- terly discouraged. I lost my appetite, had no strength, and was ready to have a erying spell any moment of the day, as the work loomed up ahead of me. A friend happened to speak one day of the good Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. had done her and urged me to try them. I had not energy. enough, or perhaps confidénce enough, to try them, but she would not be denied and sent me three boxes, and by the time I had taken them I knew they were helping me and was anxious for more, I continued taking the pills for nearly six months and by that time I had safe ly passed a eritical period in my life, and regained my usual good health. To all overworked, nerve-racked wo- men--and there are a great many of thenr--I still say, and at all times, take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I know you will regain your energy." There are many troubles due to weak, watery blood easily overcome by a fair use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The whole mission of this medi- cine is to purify and enrich the blood, and when that is done all the varied symptoms .of anaemia disappear and good health returns.

El - i MOTHE RS WHO IVE USED BABY'S OW TABLETS Them to Other Mothers. - Once a mother has used Baby's Own Teblets for hier little ones she will use nothing else -- actual experience teaches her that there Is no other medicine to equal them for any of the minor ailments from which her baby or little ones suffer. Having found the value of the Tablets in her own home, she 1s always anxious that other moth. ers should share her knowledge. That ds why Mrs. Creighton 'White, North Noel Road, N.S., writes the following: --""I have a baby seventeen months old and have given him nothing but Baby's Own Tablets ever since he was & week old.
