gained six pounds. The numbness in
nv limbs began to leave me too, and to-

good feeling by the following certificate:
/ hereby certify that all that Mr..
Struble says regarding his rheumatic and
other troubles I believe to be true and
correct
IRA COSS, Justice of the Peace.
On the farm with Mr.. Struble live his
two adult sisters. Miss Annie M. Stru-
BILE made the following statement:
"Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
ple have done wonderful things for my
brother. He was in a helpless condition
when left him on January 18th last, and
when returned on March 25th, found
him cured. The most remarkable thing
about the. case" she continued, rs the
curing of his lameness OF course !
wanted to know all about the causes OF
such wonderful change, and learned
from him and my sister and Others that
during my absence he had been using
the Pink Pills, and that his recovery was
attributed solely to them
Miss Mary E. Struble said: saw my
brother in all the stages of the disease.
He began improving as soon as he began
taking the Pink Pills. When my sister
went away in January hewas apparently
at deaths door and nobody seemed to
have any hope for him. He certainly
had little or none for himself, and he
was very Respondent in spite Of all efforts
ocheer him He declared that he felt
better as soon he began taking the Pink
Pills, and to one who, like myself, was
attending him day by day, there could
be no doubt that they and they alone
were the cause of his improvement. Why
all other things he had tried he had
abandoned, for they had failed to do him
nut him on his feet again? We don !!
wonder at his enthusiasm for the Pnkt
Pills"
the American Hotel at Branchville, said:
Gall that Mr. Struble says in reference
to the Pink Pills know to be true. In
fact he can't say too much about them
for they have undoubtedly saved his life .
At the Branchville drug store, chief
clerk Henry Beemer, remarked, 7 have
no doubt that DIR. Williams Pink Pills
have cured Mr.. Strublen Joseph II. Nc
Donald the proprietor of the General
Store of Branchville, and Postmaster
Knox, expressed themselves IN similar
terms
Pink Pills for many years previous to
their general manufacture were used as a
prescription. At first they were chiefly
prescribed for impure blood and general
weakness. Now they are found to be a
never-failing specific for such diseases as
locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St.
Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheu-
matism, nervous headache, the after
effect of La Grippe, palpitation of the
heart, pale and sallow complexions and
ali diseases of the blood, such as scrofula,
chronic erysipelas, etc.
They are also a specific for troubles Pc
culiar to females, such as suppressions,
irregularities, and all forms of weakness.
They build up the blood and restore the
glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks.
In men they effect a radical cure in all
cases arising from mental worry, over
work, or excesses of whatever nature.

erous limitations sold in this shape), at
