The demands, upon her health are many and severe. House- hold duties and the care of her child- ren exact heavy toll, while hurried meals, broken rest and indoor living tend to weaken her. No wonder she is often indisposed through weakness, headaches, backaches and nervous- I ness. In this condition the blood will always be found weak and watery,, and relief will come only through en- riching the blood. For this purposel Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is the best blood-making tonic known. Through their use many weak, ailing wives ‘and mothers have found new health and strength. As an example of this Mrs. Sarah Cortez, Iil1lenatown, N.B., 'rartc-"While nursing my baby I be- came run-down, very weak and nerr ous. My head ached all the time and I was not able to do my work. I had often read of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and began using them, and whit a blessing they proved.
