How to Keep Well in Winter
Do not'let your blood get thin this
winter. For people who have a ten
dency toward anaemia, or bloodless
ness, winter is a trying season. Lack
of exercise and fresh air, the more re
stricted diet, many things combine to
lower the tone of the body and de
plete the blood.
As soon as you notice the tired feel
ing, lack of appetite and shortness oi
breath that are warning symptoms o
thin blood take a short treatment of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Do not wait
until the color has entirely left your
cheeks, until your lips are white, youi
eyes dull and your ears like mother
of pearl. It is so much easier to cor
rect thinning of tho b'ood in the earl
ier stages than later.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills build up
the blood and strengthen the nerves
In this way the general health is lrr.
proved, the appetite increases, the dl
gestlon is strengthened and new am
bitlon and energy developed. Work
becomes easier because "H does not
cause exhaustion.
Keep your system at its highest effi
clency with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
the great blood builder and nerve
tonic. Your own druggist can supply
you. A booklet "Building Up the
Blood" will be mailed free on request
by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, N. Y. It is well worth
studying by all who do not enjoy com
yleto health.—Advertisement.
