the general business man of to-day. Business wonies, too many hours in the ofllce or shop, irregular hours of retiring-all have their effect in time. Sleeplessness, loss of appetite, nervous irritability or a feeling of lassitude is

the frequent result. These are only the forerunners of more serious trouble,

perhaps leading to a general break down. A small amount of attention

is just what is needed. Hundreds of business and professional men who have been careless of their health have finally ob- toinod oompioto restoration by tho ooo of this modioioo. What Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have done for others, they will do for

you. But you must get the genuine-substitutes never cured anyone and never will.

Among those who very emphatically praise Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills is Neil

McPhee, Esq., ].P., Glencorrodale, P.E.I. He says :-“About four years ago I was very much run down from overwork. While thus weakened I contracted a severe cold ; neuralgia followed, and I found my health shattered generally. My appetite was very fickle ; I frequently passed sleepless nights, and was in a dis- - tressed and discouraged condition, as I had tried a number of medicines without benefit. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills were recommended to me and I decided to give them a fair trial. After using a few boxes my former health and strength began to return. In the course of a month I was as well as ever, gaining in flesh and with a splendid appetite. I have now the utmost confidence in Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills,

and recommend them as the best tonic and constitution builder I know.”
