Mrs. G. FL. Morrison, with whom We are
living here. and the Rev. George Fairlee,
pastor of Westminster Church. who lives

while the story as told was msst complete

reporter alsn ran across the sOn-in-law.
Mr.. G. n. Morrison. cashier of the Ma
tional Bank OF Troy, and spoke to him of
Mr.. Kimball. He is a busy man, and.
though he could only be detained for mo-
ment. he said: II know nothing of the
case technically. He says he was cured by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and | think that
is about the size OF It."
Mr.. William FL. FIandreau. the druggist
at S14 River street, Troy, said: SIT is the
most wonderful cure from locomotor ataxia
"a so.caled Bile disease. Mr.. Kim
ball tells me be owes his recovery to Pink
Pills entirely. and have every reason to
believe him."
Pink Pills restore pale people and sallow
compilations to the glow OF health, and are
a specific Tor. all the troubles peculiar to
the female sex. while IN the case Of men
they effect radical cure in allcaseS arising
from mentai worry. over19rk or excuses
