cures wrought in the case
of two confirmed invalids
in one household in a New England
town. The radical improvement in
the physical condition Of these two
people from the use of this great
medicine is vouched for, not only by
the eager testimony of the patients
themselves, gladly given for the ben
eft Of other sufferers, but also by the
indubitable assurances OF disintereSt
ed relatives and friends who had beer
cOgniZant of the years OF pain anC
distress endured by the two invalid:
and who now witness their restoration
to health, vigor and capacity.
The names of these people, the lat
est to testify from their own expert
ence to the marvellous restorative
tonic and healing qualities of DR.
| Williams Pink Pills, are Fred Q. NOse
and his mother-inlaw, Mrs. Oliver G.
Holt, of PeterbOrO, members OF the
same household, which is composed OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Holt, and Mr.. and Mrs
| VOse. the latter daughter of the
| Hollis. The home occupied by the
| family is a cosy and neat looking two
stored house, situated on the top Of a
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 Mr. Vose has for many
years run the engine on the E1tchburg
railroad trains between Winchendon
and PeterbOrO.

in their own words as taken by re-
porter of the "BostOn Herald it will
be well to give the exact reason fol-
the coming together under one roof
of the two families, as this fact has
everything to do with the manner ia
which DR.. Williams Pink Pills first
came to the notice of Mr.. NcSe and
the reason of their introduction into
the family as medical remedy.
Mr. NOse'S wife had been in failing
health for number of years, her i'll
ness finally developing into brain
trouble, accompanied by intermittent
paralysis of the tongue and lower
limbs. Death had taken all her chill
dren, and the heavy affection increas-
ed her bodily and mental iDtirmitieS
to such an extent that her husband,
himself an invalid. was compelled to
take some means toward securing for
her complete 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 all her
ailments. Mrs. Holt was herself suf-
fering from various complaints
brought on by complete nervous
prostration several years ago, but her
daughters severer and more hopeless
condition was the more urgent and
more appealing case Of the two, and
so Mrs. Holt for several years has tri-
ed 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 ac-
count of case of paralysis cured by
The use of DR.. Williams, Pink Pills.
The similarity of the case described
to that of his wife at once aroused the
deep interest of Mr.. Vose, and he
called his mother-in-law's attention
to the published article. After long
consultation they decided to send

From being unable to stand she was
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
a trial of the pills caused both her
husband and mother to consider
trying them for their 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 thay came to believe that the
pills not only could not hurt, but
were actually and speedily curing
them.
To the "Herald" reporter who was
sent to investigate his remarkable
cure, Mr.. VOSe gave detail account
of his long illness and subsequent
recovery. He began his narrative by
saying:
Il am not anxious to get into the
papers in this or any other connection,
but,as | wrote the DR.. Williams
