A SPRING DANGER.
Many People Weaken Their System by
the Use of Purgative medicines.
Ask any doctor and he will tell you
tbat the use of purgative medicines
weakens the system, and cannot possibly
cure disease. Thousands of people take
purgative medicine in the spring, and
make a most serious mistake in doing so. -
People who feel tired and depressed, who
find the appetite variable, who have oc-
casional headaches and backaches, or _
whose blood shows impurities through
pimples and eruptions, need a spring
medicine, But they should not dose
themselves with harsh griping purgatives
that gallop,through the bowels, tearing
the tissues and weakening the system.
.A. tonic medicine is what is needed in
the spring and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
is the best tonic that science has yet dis-
covered. They are quietly absorbed in-
to the system filling the veine with pure,
rich, red blood that carries health and
strength to every part of the body. Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills cure skin eruptions,
indigestion, headaches, nervousness,
rheumatism and all blood troubles.
They improve the appetite, and make de-
pressed, easily tired men and women
cheerful, active and strong. Mr. James
McDougall, Little Shippegan, N. B.,
says: "I have used Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills as a tonic and blood purifier and
have found them superior to all other
medicines."
If you need a medicine this spring-
and who would not be the better of a
tonic after the long dreary in -door
months—give Dr, Williams' Pink Pills
a trial. They will send rich, red blood
coursing through your veins and give
you the bnoyancy of perfect health. See
that the full name "Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People," is printed on the
Wrapper around each box. All dealers
in medicine sell these pills or you can
get them by mail at 50 cents a box or
six boxes for $2.50 by writing the Dr.
Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

lambs. While we are not aware that
any one advises this as a means of elim-

ed, there is a strong sentiment favoring
its use for general health.
It seems to have become a matter of
experience that . there is no curative
agent of a practical nature for worms
other than the plowing up of the pas-
ture and providing uncontaminated graz-
ing. It it a well-established fact that
when lambs have been pastured upon
worm -infested pastures they are very
likely to become affected with the stom-
achw orm.
Plowing the pasture and thus turning
the surface entirely under for a period
of cropping seems to be the only means
or ridding the land of the worm. Where
fields have become infested this is un-
doubtedly the cheapest way, unless the
pasture is not plow land. Where the
pasture is needed a very good substitute
may be secured, and in most cases bet-
