From the Gazelle, Fl. Wayne, Inti. I had been visiting a comrade who had formerly aerred with me in the army, and was waiting for a street car to take me home, when it began raining with such violence that I t#ok refuge in a drug store at the cor ner of the street. In the store was a middle aged woman earnestly talking with the drug gist about Dr. Williams' I’ihk Pills for Pale People. Being a reporter, I asked her what eennection she had with these pills. She ■aid: “I had the misfortune recently to lose my husband after a protracted illness and, as 1 had overfatigued myself in earing for him, my health, which up to that time had been perfect, failed completely. My trouble be gan with indigestion; I constantly became, weaker, lost visibly in weight and could no longer assimilate the most easily digestible food. I precured medical assistance with out, however, obtaining any improvement. I felt so anxious in consequence that my nerves also became affected and finally I could no longer sleep. When I arose in the morning I was so tired and my limbs felt so heavy that I was unfit for performing the lightest hemsework. By the advice of my friends I called another doctor, but he, too, could procure me no alleviation. “How often have I, when restless with pains in my limbj, remained awake on my bed and heard every hour of the night strike without being able to close an eye; how often have I wished for death. Finally my State became so pitiful that I was unable any longer to leave my bed. A lady friend then paid me a visit and at her earnest request I agreed to make a last trial, this time with Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. After a few days I already felt a slight im provement, the feeling of fatigue in my limbs disappeared, ray nervousness vanished, appe tite returned, ray stomach began to perform its proper functions as formerly, ana now I am as well as ever I was in my life. I know clearly that it was Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People which savpd my life, and whenever I have an opportunity I recommend them.” (I afterwards learned the name and address of the lady. It was Magdalena Klein, of No. 41 West Lewis Street, Fort. Wayne, Ind.) Being impressed with the above story and learning of another who had received bene fit from the use of the pills, I visited Mr. Richard Sohwind, of No. 20 Huron Street. Mr. Sohwind is an employe of the Wayne Knitting mills and a man of steady habits. He worked alternately; one week during the day time and the next week nt night. His system seems to have been affected by this continual changing, so that he was soon obliged to seek the assistance of a skillful doctor. His trouble began with most alarm ing heart palpitation and nervous headache*. These attacks caused him to suffer the most terrible pains, on account, of which he could obtain no proper sleep. He often complained of Lhe continued failure of his strength, so that by the advice of his doctor he gave up h’s work for a time. But it seemed as if thia forced inactivity only Increased his trouble. He worried, and felt great anxiety concerning the prospects of his family; he lost all vital energy and finally became in different to everything. As he had no appe tite for food, he fell off in body ix an appall ingway. Finally he was confined to his bed and had to lie there about six weeks, so that Ma family diMas gave him up and declared n J Sot Tonic Purifies ™ Blood, i q Z POSITIVE CURE 'OR DY-SPEPSU, lIIIRI4 1 1> CHILLS i« J FEVER, fiRIPPi / fife ! “!

A neighboring family which had just moved into the district and heard of his case, urged him to take Dr. Williams’Pink Pills for Pale People, but he only shook his head incredulously. Finally, merely to please his wife, he consented, and we can onlv de scribe as marvelous the beneficent and heal ing action of these Pink Pills of Dr. Wil liams’ on his frame. In the short space of three weeks he not only recovered his health, hut he became so strung that he was able to start his work again. nod up to the present he is enjoying admirable health.

From the Republican, Fresno, Cal. A case reported from Fresno County is that of a well-know former resident of Kings burg, though now residing at Selma. Mr. J. M. Purves is an old gentleman of seventy, who, during his long residence in Kingsburg, was beloved alike by young and old, and he is equally endeared to the people of his new home. It was about July 15, 189(1 that a reporter of the Republican met Mr. Purves, and was astonished to see such an improvement in his appearance, lie looked ten years younger and much stouter than when he moved away from Kingsburg for the benefit of his health, and lie was congratulated on his improved appearance. “I was all run down when I moved away,” Mr. Purves said, “something like an old clock that is worn out, but I have undergone such repairs as I think will keep me in run ning order for many years to come if no ac cident occurs.” “What was the agent that wrought the change, Mr. Purves?” the reporter asked. “ Was it Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Palo People ? they seem to he doing all the heal ing in Fresno County.’’ “ Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People are the very ’ ’ngs that have built me up,” Mr. Purves a ed. “I happened to read one of the a ements of their healing qualities, and L read several more, and somehow there w s something in the way the testimonial read that assured me they were true.

Indeed I may say since Tong before you were born. “I took only two boxes in all, but I shall always keep them by me as long as I live, in case of relapse. (Signed) J. M.
