from drowning. 1t was humane and
Self-sacrificing deed, and received de-
served commentator in all the many
newspapers that made mention of it,
Edward Donnelly was then resident
of New York City, but his wife was
Amanda Grammar. of Auburn, and
sister of Mrs. Samuel ID. Cory, of No. II
Moravia St., which gave local interest
to the incident. All this was some time
ago, and both it and Mr.. Donnelly have
passed out of the mind of your GORE

about my case and how Pink Pills cured
me, and will be glad TO do it and to
have it printed for the benefit of others,

in the presence of his wife and Mrs.

SO great that death would have been

of the case of Mr.. Charles QUAINT OF

the use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. [ had never heard of those

to the Charles ii. Sugar Company, the
popular Auburn druggists and chemists
at 100 and Ill Genesee ST., and got three
boxes of the Pink Pills aud began TAX

"Then DIR. Patchen, of Wisconsin,

to stop taking them and to let him treat
me. When he returned to the West he
left prescription with DR.. Hyatt, . of
who also treated me. But their
treatment did me no good. and after
while the old trouble returned, and [
was getting bad again. Then l began
again to take Pink Pills; have taken
them ever since, am taking them now;
