longer This- is said to be due to the
small light bonnets that women wear
Certain it is- that air and sunshine Im
prove the color and texture of the hair
Sun bleaches the hair and Venetian
beauties always dried their ruddy
locks in the sun thereby getting- that
tint sj much admired called Venetian
rprt Of course sunshine will not bleach
dark hair but it gives n deeper color to
all kinds of tresses and will brighten
dull brown hair

was nearly fifty years of age the time
when women must be more careful of
their strength Mrs Houseweart waa
taken seriously ill The family physician
told her that she had reached a critical
period of her life and must be very care-
ful His prescriptions and treatment did
not benefit her and other treatment
proved unavailing
At last Dr Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People were brought to her notice
with indisputable evidence that they were
helpful in cases such as hers and with
renewed hope she tried the remedy Last
March she took the first box of the pills

mined to be cured and kept on with the
medicine until noWeight boxes haTe been
consumed and she feels like a new
woman
