Both Are Restored After
Years of Agony.
[Boston Mas. Herald.1
The vast heslth-giving results already
this country and Canada TO DR.. Williams'
"Pink Pills for Pale Peopien have been
recently supplemented by the wonderful
cures wrought in the caseg OF two confirm
ed invalids in one household In q New
England town. The radical Improvement
in the physical condition of these two
people from the use of this great medicine
10 vouched for, not ouly by the eager tes-
timouy of the patients themselves, gladly
given for the benefit Of other sufferers, but
also by the indubitable assurances OF dis
interested relatives aud friends who had
been coanisaut of the years OF pain and
distress endured by the two invaiids, and
who now witness their restoration to
health, vigor and capacity.
The names OF thess people, the late OF to
testify from their own experience TO the
marvellous restorative, touic and healing
qualities of DIR. Williams Pink Pills, are
Fred G.. Vose and bis mother.in. law, Mrs.
Oliver G. Holt of Peterboro, members Of
the same household, which is composed
Of Mr; and Mrs. Holt, end
daughter Of the Hollis. The home occus
pied by the family is n cosy and neat
looking two ntoried house, situated on the
top of hill and surrounded by many of
the natural attractions OF residence in
the country. MIR. Holt is employed in the
Crowell shoe manufactory OF Peterboro,
and Mr.. Vose has for many years run the
engine on the Fitchburg railroad trains
between Wiucher don and Peterboro.
Before entering upon an account of the
long illness of MIR. Vose and bis mother
iu-law, which shall be given In their own
words as taken by a reporter OF the "Bos-
ton Herald" IT will be we'll to give the
exact reason for the coming together un>
der one roof OF the two families, as this
fact has everything to do with the manner
in which Dr. Williams Pink Pills first
came to the notice of Mr.. Vose and the
reason OF their introduction into the fam
ily as q medical remedy.
Mr.. Vose's wife had been In ial ~
health for number OF years, her illnt 81
finally developing into a brain troubl'.
the tongue and lower limbs. Death had
taken all her children, and the heavy
affiiction increased her bodily and mental
inflrmities to such an extent that her hus.
band, himself an invalid, was compelled
to take some means toward securing for
all household care. To this end he gave up
ousekeeping, and took his wife
TO her parents home, where her
mother might care for her in her
ailments. Mrs. Holt was herself suffering
from various complaints brought on by
complete nervous prostration several
years ago, but her daughters severe and
more hopeless condition was the more
urgent and more appealing case OF the two
and so Mrs. Holt for several years has
tried to forget her own disabilities In
tenderly ministering to her stricken
daughter.
Ia February last Mr.. vose was reading
the weekly paper, when his attention was
attracted by the account of q case of para
lysis cured by the use of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. The similarity of the case de.
scribed to that of his wife at once
aroused the deep interest OF Mr.. Vose, ,ano
he called his mother in laws attention tc
the published article. After long consul
tation they decided to send for the pills
The beneficial effect they had upon Mrs
Vose was marked. From being unable tc
stand she was so materially strengthened
that she could walk without difficulty, ,ant
in other respects her condition was much
improved. The beneficent results noticed
10 Mrs. Vose's condition from q trial ol
the pills caused both her husband ant
| mother to consider trying them for theii
| own complaints. They tried them on the
principle that "if they don't cure they
| can't hurt," but before each had finished
their first box they had felt such relief
| that they came to believe that the pills no
| only could not hurt, but were actually
| and speedily curing them.
To the "Heraldn reporter who was sen
| tn investigate his remarkable cure, Mr.
Vose gave detailed account of his lonl
illness and su 1sequent recovery. He be-
| gan his narrative by saying:
