They begin to realise that they are no longer young, and find tiieir strength gradually failing. They easily get tired out through housework and other capes, which never troubled them before. Then there are the health trials which women of forty are so liable to suffer; headaches, backaches, nervousness, flushes, and depression. At this stage, Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills render a great service of health help to nervous, worn-out women, for these pills help to make rich red blood upon which a woman’s health is particularly dependent. This new blood nourishes the nerve,s, gives new strength, new vitality, and quickly banishes the headaches, weariness, nnd depression. Every woman should take a short course of Dp. Williams’ Pink Pills at once, and notice how surely they fortify the system throughout. Of chemists aud stores.—Advt.
