The vast health. giving results already at
tributed by the newspapers throughout this
country and Canada to DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People" have been recently sup
plemented by the wonderful cures wrought in
the cases of two confirmed invalids in one
household in New England town. The radi-
cal improvement in the physical condition of
these two people from the of this great
medicine is vouched for not only by the eager
testimony Of the patients themselves gladly
given for the benefit of other sufferers but also
by the indubitable assurances of disinterested
relatives and friends who had been cogniZant
of the years of pain and distress endured by
the two invalids. and who now witness their
restoration to health, vigor and capacity.
The names Of these people, the latest to tes-
tify from their own experience to the marvel
ous restorative, tonic. and healing qualities Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are Fred C. Vose aud
his motber-in-law, Mrs. Oliver C. Holt, of
Peterboro, members of the same household,
which is composed OF Mr. and Mrs. Holt and
Mr.. and Mrs. Yose the latter daughter of the
| Hollis The home occupied by the family is 3
cosy and neat-looking two-storied house, stu
ated on the top of hill, and surrounded by
| many of the natural attractions of residence
in the country. Mr.. Holt is employed in the
Crowell Shoe Mandatory. OF Peterboro, and
Dir. VOse has for many years run the engine on
the Fitchburg railroad trains between Win
| chendon and Peterboro.
Before entering upon an account Of the long
Illness CT Mr. Vose and his mother in-law,
| which shall be given in their own words as
taken by reporter of the Boston Herald"
it will be well to give the exact reason for the
coming together under 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 family as
a medical remedy.
Mr.. Voses wife had been in failing health
for number of years, her illness finally de-
veloping into brain trouble, accompanied by
intermittent paralysis of the tongue and lower
limbs. Death had taken all her children, and
the heavy affection increased her bodily and
mental inirmities to such an extent that her
husband, himself an invalid, was compelled to
take some means toward securing for her COM
plete rest and freedom from all household care.
To this end he gave up housekeeping, 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 daugh-
ter's severer and more hopeless condition was
the more urgent and more appealing case of
the two and 80 Mrs. Holt for several years has
tried to forget her own disabilities in tenderly
ministering to her stricken daughter.
In February last Mr.. vose was reading the
weekly paper, when his attention was attracted
by the account OF a case Of paralysis cured by
the use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. The SINH
larity of the described to that of his wife
at once aroused the deep interest of Mr.. Vose.
and he called his mother in-lay's attention TO
the published article. After long consultation
they decided to send for the pills. The bene-
fetal effect they had upon Mrs. Voss was
marked. From being unable to stand sheswas
so materially strengthened that she could walk
without difficulty, and in other respects her
condition was much improved. The benefcent
results noticed in Mrs. Vose's condition from
trial of the pills caused both her husband and
mother to consider trying them for their own
complaints They tried them Oh the principle
that "if they don't cure they can't hurt" but
had felt such relief that they came to believe
that the pills not only could not hurt, but were
actually and speedily curing them.
To the Herald Z" reporter who was sent to
investigate his remarkable cure. Mr. Vose gave
detailed account of his long illness and subse-
auent recovery. He began his narrative by
saying:
81 am not anxious to get into the papers in
this or any other connection, but, as i wrote
the DIR. Williams Medicine Co., have felt such
happy results from the taking of Pink Pills
that am willing, if my experience will help
any one else, to state how they benefited me.
