Woman's work is more wearing than man's because It lasts almost every waking hour. There is no eight or nine hour day for the breadwinners wife, and often she 'toils under the greatest difficulty becauseher strength is below what ft should be. The wo man who is indoors all day is very often careless about what she eats and does mot keep her blood up to the mark. It becomes thin and poor, which makes her weak, headachy, tired, breathless and litable to pains in the back and sides, the scourge of her sex, New blood will do wonders for the woman who is tired out, who aches all over when she rises in the morning and feels unaccountably de pressed. She can gain new blood now, and drive away the pains and aches and tiredness if she will take Dr. Will isms' Pink Pills. They have worked marvels for other womens and will do the sante for you if you are weak, tired, depressed or suffering from back aches or sideaches. Mrs. Elmer O.. Tayloe, Calgary, Alta., says: "I was so run down with anaemia that 1 could scarcely walk without aid. I was not able to leave the house. I had no color, no appetite, and was constantly troubled with headaches, dizzy spells and a general disinclination to move about or do anything, My friends, did not think 1 would get better, and even the doctor was apprehensive, 1 was constantly taking medicine, but it did not do a particle of good. One day a friend asked if I' had tr ed Dr, Will isms' Pink Pills, and I decided to do so almost as a forlorn hope. After I had used a few boxes there was a de cided change for the better, and people began to ask what I was taking, the change was so noticeable. As I eon tinned the Pills my color Came back, I could eat my meals regularly; the headaches and dizzy spells ceased, I gained in weight and took a new in tereet in life, my cure being complete. I have told many sickly women and girls what Dr. William:' Pink Pills did for me and urged them to take them and shall continue to do so, know ing what a splendid medicine they are.,, Every weak and ailing` woman who 1 will follow Mrs, Taylor's example and give Dr. Williams Pink Pills a fair trial will find new health and strength through their use, Sold ; by all medi sine dealers or sent by mail at 50 cents a pox or six boxes for 52.50 from The Dr. Williams Co, Brockville, Ont, That if Sir IL, L.
