were unavailing. Ali they could do
was TO try to build up my system by
the use of tOnics. In the fail Of 1889
and spring of 1890 I again suffered IN
t~ensely severe attacks, and at last my
medical attendant. as o last resort, or
dered me tOthe Toronto General HOsplt-
al. I entered the hospital on June goth,
1890, and remained there until S6ptem
Der goth of the same year. But, not
withstanding all the care and attention
bestowed upon me while in this institu-
ton. no Improvement vas noticeable
in nv condition. After using almost
every available remedy the hospital
doct0rs-of whom there was about a
dOZen-Caule to the conclusion that my
case was incurable, and | was sent
away. with the understanding that l
might remain an outside patient. Ac-
cOrdingly from September, 1890, to the
end of January, 1891, | went to the
hospital once a week for examination
and treatment. Atthis stagel became
suddenly worse, and one more gained
admission to the hospital, where i lay
in a miserable suffering condition Tor
two months or more. In the spring Of
1891 returned to OakvIlie, and made
an attempt to do something toward my
own support. [ was given light work
in the basket factory, but had to be
conveyed to and from my place OF labor
in q buggy and carried from the rig to
a table in the works on which l sat and
performed my work. In August, 1891,
| was again stricken down, and re
manned in an utterly helpless condition
until January, 1892 At this time Mr..
James, a local druggist, strongly urged
me to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, | was prcjudiced against
proprietary medicines as [ had spent
nearly all | possessed on numerous
highly recommended sO-called RENE
dies. | had taken into my system
large quantities Of different family
medicines. [ had exhausted the list Of
liniments, but all in vain, and [ was
the refOre reluctant to take Mr.. James
advice. /, however, saw strong testi-
mOnials as to the value of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills as q blood builder and nerve
tonic, and thinking that if | could only
get my blood in better condition my
general state OF health might ne i'm
proved [ resolved to give Pink Pills a
trial. With The urae born of despair
/ bought a box. HuC there was nonOtiCe-
able Improvement, and [ thought this
vas like the other remedies [ had used.
But urged On by friends I continued
taking Pink Pills and after using seven
boxes | was rewarded by noticing q
decided chang for the better Ny ap-
petite returned, my spirits began to
rise and | hau a little freer use of my
muscles and limbs the old troublesome
swellings subsiding [ continued the
remedy until I had used twenty-five
boxes when | left off. By this time |
had taken on considerable flesh, and
weighed as much as 100 pounds. This
was a gain Of 80 pounds in afew weeks.
My joints assumed their normal size,
my mus lies became firner, and in fact
| was a new man By April l was able
to go to work in the basket factory,
and now [ can work ten hours a day
with any man [ often stay on duty
overtime without feeling any bad
effects. | play base ball in the evenings
and can run bases with any Of the boys
Why [ feel like dancing for very joy
at the relief from abject misery | suf-
fered so long. Many a time l prayed
for death to release me from my suf
ferings, but now that IS all gone and 1
enjoy health SIS only he a who suf-
tered agony for years. | have given
you a brief outline of my sufferings,
but from what l have told you can
guess the depth Of my gratitude for the
great remedy which has restored me to
health and strength"
