FEEL BADLY ALL OVER? ; When you feel badly all over, but with no particular organ of your body noticeably out of order, you need a tonic for the blood. You require a medicine that will benefit the whole system. The blood reaches every part of the body and when it is built up the whole system quickly benefits. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a non alcoholic tonic that build up the blood, making it rich and red and able to supply to the tissues of the body the nourishment they need to keep them in health. Most general debility results from thin blood. Every part of the body suffers and you "feel badly all over." When the blood is restored and a health -giving stream is going to every part of the body you soon see the re sult in a better appetite, an improved digestion, brighter eyes, better color In cheeks and lips. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a most valuable family tonic and should be taken by every member of the family except infants whenever the general health is not what is should be. Much downright sickness has been saved by the use of a tonic or supporting medi cine in times of physical depression. A book, "Building Up the Blood," will be sent free by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.. on request. All druggists sell Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills. —Advertisement.
