Just as the lightbuoy is a signal of danger to sailors, and the red Eght to railway men, so has nature equip- ped individuals with danger signals of one kind or another when their physical condition is not quite right. It may simply be a tired feeling, a slight cold, weakness of the muscles, tickle appetite or some other sign slight at first which indicates that your condition is not a healthy one. If the danger signal is not heeded, serious re- sults will follow and a complete collapse may occur. In nine cases out of ten the direct cause of the trouble is impoverished blood, or weak nerves. You need something to brace you iip to make your blood rich and vour nerves strong. Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills is the only medicine that can do this promptly and effectively. They strengthen from tirst dose to last. Mr. John Siddon*. London.
