Easily tired, appetite variable, sometimes head- aches and a feeling of depression. Per- haps pimples or eruptions• appear, or hn rabe wi es [ r e of there mayt o b. um . is tut $ or neoralgia, Any of oso indicate tc that the blood is ant of order ; that the in -door life of winter has left its Mark upon you and may easily devel- op into more serious trouble. Don't dose yourself as many people foolishly do with purgatives in the hope thata t Yeti can put your blood right, Purga- tives gallop through the system and weaken instead of giving strength, Whatyou need in spring id a tonic medicine that will make new, rich blood, build up the weakened nerves,. and thus give /oil new health and strength..

"I• don't think there is anything equal to Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills as a cure for ner- vousness, . indigestion and a run down condition, of the blood. For some time I was a great sufferer 'from these trou- bles. I tried several remedies 'but nothing helped m'e until I. began . - tak- ing Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Before taking them I felt like an. old' man, but by the time I had taken. four boxes my strength had returned, my appetites improved, my naves were steady 'and I` was feeling a renewed' man."
