A TRUE TONIC, NOT A STIMULANT.

DR. WILLIAMS’ PINK PILLS. The difference between a stimulant and a tonic is this: a stimulant quickly enables you to exert greater effort for a short period at the expense of your reserve strength, so that when the effect of the stimulant is over you are weaker than before and have less reserve power. A tonic is slower in its action, but builds up your strength, so that gradually greater effort becomes possible without discomfort, and your reserve of strength increases. A tonic that builds up the blood and strengthens the nerves gives support to the weakest organs, and gradually the improvement is generalised and the whole s.vstom benefits. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are a tonic, not a stimulant. They have this advantage over liquid tonics that most of the latter necessarily contain alcohol either as a preservative or to keep the medicinal ingredients fluid, and there are many nervous conditions in which the uso of alcohol is unwise. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are not only- non-alcoholic, but they are guaranteed to be free from harmful or habit-forming drugs. The price of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills is 3s per box.
