My feet and legs soon lost feeling-were

Mr.. Kimball tells me he owes his re.
eovery to Pink Pills entirely and have
every reason TO believe him.

OveTwork or excesses OF whatever ns'

were answered, / do think Pink Pills
were the means the Lord used TO effect
my sons cure. want you to meet my
daughter, Mrs. q. II. Morrison, with
whom we are living hers, and the Rev.
