WHEft BEAUTY FADES. | »he Cause is Often Easy to Trace. I I women who had a goodi colour and bright eyes in their girl- I hood grow and colouritbs, and lose much of their charm, when they become wives and mothers. Why is U? colour in clieeks \\Then the bdin colour in cheeks and hps accompanied by a loss of brig-htness in the eyes and an increas- in£ heavmess in the step, the cause i? to be sought in the state of the blood A hundred causes may contribute to the condition of thin blood that is known as anaemia. Overwork, lack of outdoor exercise, insufficient rest and sleep, improper diet-these are a few of them. The important thing is to re- store the blood, to build it up so that colour will return to the cheeks and lips, brightness to the eves, and light- ness to the step. Dr. W illiams' pink pills are a great blood builder and invigorator. They begin at once to increase the red cor- puscles in the blood, and the new blood carries strength and health to even- part of the body. Appetite is keen, digestion becomes perfect .energy and ambition return. Read the reliable statement made by Mro. L. w imakei, 23, Lincoln Field- terrace, Newtown, Leeds, who has every reason to be grateful for benefits derived from Dr. Williams' pink pills. Even before my marriage, said Mrs. W hitaker, I was troubled with weakness and anaemia, and I never seemed to quite throw the symptoms off. Then a few months ago all the Uisu • V A » Jl :jl:I v worst1 lhan ever. "I was wretchedly tired always, and low-spirited. Bad attacks of faintness came over me, and I had acute head- aches. grew worried over trifles, and my nerves were terribly over- strung. The care of the home and children seemed too much for me to bear. Ii My blood was poor and thin, and I always felt cold. My back ached, and my. limbs seemed too weak to carry me. My eyes were dull and heavy, and I could have fallen asleep as I walked about. Each time I sought advice I was told my trouble was anaemia. CI After all this misery, during which time I was constantly taking tonics, my sister advised me to take Dr. Wil- liams' pink pills. which were strength- ening her in a wonderful manner. U In a week or two I was able to see that these pills were just what I needed for I began to lose the tiredness and heaviness. As I continued with Dr. Wil- li,-tms" pink pills my blood became richer, the shivery feeling left me, and I did not feel exhausted. My appetite | improved, the headaches and back- aches grew less frequent, and in time stopped altogether. Faintness and dizziness became things of the past, and my nerves grew quite steady. Thanks to Dr. WiL liams' pink pills I was soon cured, and am now in perfect health." If you. are suffering from impover- ished blood you cannot afford to wait another day before giving Dr. Wil- | liams' pink pills a thorough trial. Go I to anv dealer and obtain a supply, but ask for Dr. Williams'. A HEALTH GUIDE of much use- fulness can be obtained, FREE, by ) sending a postcard for a copy ad- dressed to Book Dept.. 46.
