A WINTER TONIC Why is it that some people keep well all winter while others, less ex posed to cold and damp, suffer witli colds, grip, pleurisy, pneumonia and all the Ills of the season? Thin blood and debility are the causes or mucn sickness in winter.

When the blood is thin and there is oxygen starvation in the tissues of the bodv. poisons are retained that should be eliminated and there is a lowered resistance to disease. Rheumatism disappears when the blood is built up and does not return if the blood is kept rich. The after effects of grip are never cured until the blood is built up. Dr.

Williams' Pink Pills enrich the blood and enable it to carry more oxy gen, to nounsn tne starved tissues in dehilitv. to sooth the inflamed mem ibranes in rheumatism, to quiet the nerves in neuralgia and sciatica and to expel the lingering germs after tho fever and influenza of grip have passed. All winter Dr. Williams' Pink Tills should be in every house, ready for use. You can get them now at the nearest drug store.

The third edition of the popular little book "Building Up the Blood" has just been published. Write to day to the Dr. Williams Medicine Schenectady, N. for a tree copy. Ad vertisement.
