eni •among young women than is gen-
orally believed. fu its early stages
the diseaee is not marked by any de-
cided aYraPioms, and often makes con-
siderable advance eare its presence 15
noticed. A feeling of fatigue after
51 gIot exereisse, breathlessness and
pallor of the fe.oe are the first no-
ticeable signs, Unless there is prompt
and effective treatment the disease
then makes rapid progress, and the
victim preeents every appearance of
going into a decline or consumption
The only successful method of treat-
ing anaemia is to build up the blood,
and the best medicine in the world for
this purpose is Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People,
Miss Adeline Dumas is one or the
thousands of young ladies who can
testify to the efficacy of Dr. William'
Pink Pills in eaves of enemenia. Miss

Dumas said :-" Since I was about
sixteen years of age I have been ail-
ing more or lees, but for along time,
except for periodical headaches, the
trouble did not seem serious. About
two years ago my case began to as-
sume an alarming nature. The head-
aches came with greater frequency. I
became very pole, and the slightest
exertion would leave me breathless,
I tried several medicines, but instead
of finding 'benefit I was steadily
growing worse, until at last.t WilS

and had to sit in a chair almost the

which was the story of the euro of a
girl whose symptoms resembled mine,
through the use of Dr. Williams' Plek
Pills'and urged me to dry them. I
sent for a box, but they did mot seem
to help me, and I wee afield they
would prova like other medicines,not
