Such Is the full history of thism most re-
ease of successful recovery from
q heretofore supposed incurablc disease,
after AL the doctors had given him NJ.
by the simple use of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. Truly it is an inter
story of a most miraculous cure of 4
disease by the simple use of this
popular remedy.
4 further investigation revealed the fact
that DIR. Williams Pink Pills are not a pat
medicine in the sense in which that
term is usually understood. but are a Scien-
titc preparation successfully used in gen
eral practice for many years before being
offered to the public generally. They con-
tain in a condensed form all the elements
necessary to give new life and richness &c
the blood, and restore shattered nerves.
They are an unfaIlIng specific for such dis
eases As locomOtOr ataxia. partial paraly-
sis, st. Nitus dance, s~ciatica, neuralgia,
rheumatism, nervous headache, the after
effects Of a%rippc, palpitation of the heart,
pale and sailOw complications, that tired
feeling resulting from nervous prostration; |
all diseases depending upon vitiBted hu-
mOrsin the blood. such as scrofula, chronic
crysipcla-. etc They are also a specific for
troubles peculiar to females, such as sup
prcssiouS, Irregularities. and all forms of
weakness. They build up the blood and re
store the glow of health TO pale or saliOw
checks. In the case of men they effect a
radical cure in all cases arising from men
tai worry, Overwork or excuses of what
ever nature. /
On further inquiry the writer found that
these pills are manufactured by the DIR.
W Villains Medicine Company, B~rockyille,
Ontario. and Morrisiown, N. Y, and are
sold in boxes never in loose form by the
dozen or hundred at 80 cents a box, or ST,
for :. 80, and may be had of all drug
gists or direct by mail from DIR. Williams
Company, from either address
The price ut which these pills are sole
a course OF treatment comparatively
inexpensive as compared with other rene
dies or medical treatment. |
