one who was suffering in . similar manner
when he heard Of any such case. Mr..
Northrop was enthusiastic at the result in
his own case of DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
It was . remedy that he had heard of after
he had tried everything he could hope to
give him relief. He had been in the care
of the best physicians who did all they
could to alleviate this terrible malady, but

him Of the case of . person there who had
been cured in similar circumstances by
