have been recently supplemented by the
wonderful cures wrought In the cases of
two confirmed invalids in one household
in New England town. The radical
Improvement in the physical condition of
these two people from the use of this
| great medicine is vouched for, not only
by the eager testimony of the patients
themselves. gladly given for the benefit
of other sufferers, but also by the in
dubitable assurance of disinterested
relatives and friends who had been
cognizant of the years of pain aud dis
tress endured by the two invalids, and
who now witness their restoration TO
| health, vigor aud capacity.
The names of these people, the latest
to testify from their own experience to
the marvellous restorative tonic and
healing qualities of DR.. Williams Pink
| Pills, are Fred G. Vose aud his mother-in-
| law, Mrs. Oliver 9. Holt. of Peterboro.
members of the same household. which
is composed of Mr.. and Mrs. Holt, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Vose. the latter daughter
of the Hollis. The home occupied by the
family is a cozy and neat-looking two.
story house, situated on the top of hill
and surrounded by many of the natural
attractions of residence in the country
Mr. Holt is employed in the Crowell shoe
mandatory of Peterboro, and Mr.. Vose
has for many years run the engine on
the Fitchburg railroad trains between
| Winchendon and Peterboro.
Before entering upon an account of the
long illnesses Of Mr.. Vose and his mother
in law, which shall be given in their own
words as taken by a reporter of the
Boston Herald, it viii be well to give
the exact reason for the coming together
under one roof of two families, as this
fact has everything to do with the man
ner in which DR.. Williams Pink Pills
first came to the notice Of Mr. Vose and
the reason of their introduction into the
family as a medical remedy.
Mr.. NOse's wife had been in falling
health for number of years, her illness
finally developing into brain trouble.
accompanied by intermittent paralysis of
the tongue and lower limbs. Death had
taken all her. children, and the heavy
atiiiction increased her bodily and mental
innrmities to such an extent that her
husband, himself an invalid, was com
PEELED to take some means towards secur
ing for her complete rest and freedom
from all household care. To this end he
gave up housekeeping, and took his wife
to her parents home, where her mother
might care for her in her ailments. Mrs
Holt was herself suffering from
various complaints brought on by
complete nervous prostration several
years ago, but her daughters severer
and more hopeless condition was the
more urgent and more appealing case Of
the two, and so Mrs. Holt for several
years has tried to forget her own disa
bilities in tenderly ministering to her
stricken daughter.
II February last Mr. Vose was reading
tha weekly paper when his attention was
attracted by the account of a case of
paralysis cured by the use of DR. Viii
iams' Pink Pills The similarity Of the
case described to that of his wife at once
aroused the deep interest of Mr.. Vose,
and he called his mother in.law's at
tention to the published article. After
long consultation they decided to send
for the pills The beneficial effect they
had upon Mrs Vose was marked. From
being unable to stand she was so
materially strengthened that she could
walk without difficulty, and in other re-
spects her condition was much i'm
proved. The beneficial results noticed
in Mrs VOses condition from trial of
the pills caused both her husband and
her mother to consider trying them for
their own complaints. They tried them
on the principle that IF they don't cure
they can't hurt" but before each had
finished their first box they had felt
such relief that they came to believe
that the pills not only could not hurt, but
were actually and speedily curing them
To the Herald" reporter who was
sent to investigate his remarkable cure
Mr.. Vose gave detailed account of his
; long illness and subsequent recovery.
He began his narrative by saying:
