A BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION.
MEDICAL WRITER'S RECIPE. Few people outside the medical profession lave but a faint idea (writes a distinguished authority) of the incalculable injury done to the skins and healths of many Australian women by the persistent use of-complexion powders, pills, pastes, and rouges. The "complexions" obtained by these means: differ lamentably from the rosy cheeks, ruby lipa, and sparkling eyes of perfect health. Indeed-, the daai'y uso of skin-injuring cosmetics, is more costly and troublesome than the attainment by rational means of perfect health and a permanently beautiful complexion. We- can not do better than take an example from real life. Those who know Miss Maggie Russell, of Livingstone, Otago, cannot have failed to notice her clear, rosy complexion and bright appearance,- the possession of'which, eh& thus explains:— , "Neither cosmetics nor complexion pills are responsible for the great improvement in. my appearance. Formerly there was no colour in my checks. I was pale and thin, and quite devoid of strength—the result of anaemia, and debility. My system seemed thoroughly run Sown. I -was disinclined for either work or pleasure, could not sleep at night, and derived no nourishment from the fo6d taken. A doctor diagnosed m yoase as poverty of the blood, but only a little benefit was derived from treatment." "And how did you get your clear complexion?" waa asked. "After being under medical advice for some time, I left Oamaru to come to I/ivingston, and whilst atf the latter place I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, having heard that they were beneficial in suca casea as mine. A few" days after I began taking them I noticed an improvement, and after usmg , three boxes I waa restored to perfect health. As my blood bacame enriched the colour • returned to my cheeks and lips, and , now I am strong and robust, full of energy, have a splendid appstit* and sleep well." For promoting a permanently beautiful complexion by natural means Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cannot be surpassed. They enrich the blood, tone up the nerves, strengthen the spine, and induce a proper circulation and perfect health, the result of which is the beautiful complexion so noticeable in those who have used theefe pills. They also cure debility, dyspepsia, liver and kidney troubles, consumption of the bowels and lungs, nervous disorders, St. Vitvs's dance, skin troubies, rheumatism, neuralgia, paralysis, etc. §ojd by chemists and storekeepers and the Dr. Williams' Hedicine Co.; Wellington, 3s per bos, six boxes 16s 6d, post free. 11 your hea.lii and complexion , are affected, write for testimonials and free letter of infojmation.
