FINDS PLEASANT WAY TO INCREASE SCANT KIDNEY AND DOWEL ELIMINATION To Be Relieved of Gas Pains, Ner vousness, Headaches, Nighv-Ris- ing Due to Lazy Bowels, Kid neys — Neighbors Recommend WILLIAMS FORMULA. A BOND OF UNITY.—The handclasp of sincerity and partnership is used by artist John C. Atherton, of Bridgefield, Conn., to depict the close cooperation of the American people and their Government in financing the Defense Program through the sale of Defense Savings Bonds and Stamps. This poster was awarded first prize at the Museum of Modern Art Exhibit in New York out of a large number of submitted drawings, and is being used on posters by business firms in advertising, and in numerous other forms to promote the sale of Defense Bonds and Stamps. Until you try Williams Formula for yourself you will never know why others praise this splendid medicine. When you do try Wil liams Formula you may wonder why you ever continued suffering instead of seeking relief with this quick-acting medicine—For when constipation and scant kidney elimination are relieved it can make such a difference in your 1 comfort, appearance, and enjoy ment of work and play. Just like it did for Mr. Henry S. Grant, Superintendent of Universal Life Insurance Co. of Virginia, Martins ville, Va. Mr. Grant says: “I have taken Williams Formula to relieve my i constipation and gassy stomach pains and for my lazy appetite and tired, run-down feeling. “And it gives me a lot of pleas ure to tell all my friends that Williams Formula has relieved the annoying gas and bloating pains, and has stimulated my intestinal elimination so that I feel more full of pep. My appetite has been improved and food even seems to taste better to me.” JH | UTTLg MAEV/ MlXUP- av Tg.M-BgiKjxferartoFP- P-ominent Insurance Man Tells ! | His True Experience With j ! ‘ Williams Formula.” i i :— :—I MAKE THIS EASY TEST If you suffer headaches, ner vousness, bad breath, gas pains, muetdy complexion due to consti- raMon—little apnetite with resul tant tired feeling—or smarting *- ^ "a r v pains in bladder and passages, then by all means decide to try WILLIAMS FORMULA for yourself, this day.
