Pale And Nervous School Children

NEED RICH, RED BLOOD TO REGAIN HETALTH AND STRENGTH

Many children start school in

, excellent health, but after a short "time homo work, examinations, y‘ hurried meals en crowded flullflol rooms cause their iood to become

‘ weak, their nerves over-wrought and their coldr and spirits lost. it ls l\ mistake to let matters drift when hays and Birls show symp- toms or nervousness or weak blood. Thcywire almost sure to fall victims of St. Vitus dance" or drift into debility that leads to other troubles. Regular meals, out-door exercise and plenty of sleep" are necessary to combat the n rvous wear ul school life. But it is still more important that parents should pay attention to the school child's blood simply. Keep this rich and red by giving Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and tho boy or girl will be x turuy nnd fit for suhoolfirhe value
