read the circular and concluded to try DR..
Williams' Pink Pills, although Mrs. Mar

they would be as Intellectual as all the
others but on April 14-memorable day to
him-Mr. Marshall began to take the pills
one after each meal for a start. In q few
days a change was noticed, and ss he con-
tinued to take the pills he gradually Inn
proved, and in little over month he
was able TO take the train for Toronto and
visit an asionished brother in-law. Now
he can walk four or five miles with any OF
his friends.
The Globe representative paid visit to
the house of the man thus rescued from
living death. When the reporters mission
was explained, Mr.. Marshalls face lighted
up with smile, which carsed a respon-
hive one to rise upon the features Of his
wife, and he expressed his perfect will
lingness to tell all that was asked of him.
"Wby, l feel better man now than l

davit ,o the truth of the above story, but
the reporter considered that wholly un-
necessary. He carried conviction to the
inquirer's mind by every word and action,
fact that the cure was one
of the most m arvelous in the nineteenth

alton to health as nothing short OF mar
