There are many women all over the land who are earning a living by the use of the needle. Confinement in close rooms and the trying nature of their work often causes them to grow pale and wan and to experience a feel ing of constant weariness. This goes on, sometimes, until nature rebels and health breaks down. There is one way and only one way to restore the impared vitality, and that is to strengthen the worn out nerves and build up and nourish the impoverish ed blood. If the blood is kept healthy and rich and the nerves strong, new life and energy will soon be felt. This was the experience of Mrs. Addie R. Holt, a dressmaker, of No. 73 Bridge street, Augusta, Me. She says: “About five years ago I began to experience a worn out feeling. Some times I would lie in bed for a day or so. but my dressmaking work obliged me to keep up, even when I did not feel able to be about. I suffered from female troubles and last spring I had rheumatism in my left arm and also a pain in my left side in the region of my heart. “In August a friend recommended Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple and I began taking them imme diately. I commenced to improve in about two weeks and in three months my weight increased from 121 to 133 pounds. Since taking the pills I have had no return of the pain in my arm nor near my heart. “I am still taking Pink Pills for Pale People and I am gladly recom mending them to all who say that anything ails them.” Signed, . ADDIE R. HOLT. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 4th day of February, 1901. Fremont J. C. Little, Seal Notary Public.
