trlbuted by the newspapers throughout tbls
country and Canada TO DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People" have been recently
supplemented by the wonderful cures
wrought in the cases of two confirmed in
valids in one household in 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
benefit Of other sufferers, but also by the
indubitable assurances of disinterested rel
atiyes and friends who had been cOgniZant
of the years OF pain and distress endured
by the two invaids, and who now witness
their restoration TO health, vig0r and ca
pacity.
The names of these people, the latest to
testify from their own experience 10 the
marvellous restorative, tonic and healing
qualities OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills are
Fred c. Vose and his mother-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. VOse,
the latter a daughter of the Hollis. The
home occupied by the family is a cozy and
neat looking two-storied house, situated on
the top of hill and surrounded by many Of
the natural attractions of a residence in the
Crowell shoe mandatory Of PeterbOro, and
Mr.. Vose has for many years run the engine
on the Fitchburg railroad trains between
Winchendon and PeterbOro.
Before entering into an account of the
long illness of Mr.. Vose and his mother-in-
law. which shall be given in their own
words as taken by a reporter of the Boston
Herald 1t 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.. Vose's wife had been in falling
health for a number of years, her illness
finally developing into brain trouble, ac-
companled by intermittent paralysis of the
tongue ard lower limbs Death had taken
all her children, and the heavy affiicton iu-
creased her bodily and mental infrmities 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 10 her parents home, where her
mother might care for her in her ailments.
Mrs. Holt was herself suffering from Vari-
Gus complaints brought on by complete
nervous prOstration several years ago but
her daughters severer and more hopeless
condition was the more urgent and more APP
peaing case of the two, and so Mrs. Holt
for several years has tried to forget her own
disabilities IN tenderly ministerng to her
stricken daughter.
In February last MIR. Vose was reading
the weekly paper, when his attention was
attracted by the account of 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.. VosP, and be called
his mOther-in-law' attention TO the pub
IsheG article. After long consultation they
decided to send for the pills. The beneficial
effect they had apnn Mrs. NOse was marked.
From being unable to stand she was so
materially strengthened that she could
walk without difficulty, aud in other re-
spects her condition was much Improved.
The benefcen 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
tired 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 not only could not hurt. but were
actually and speedily curing them.
To the Herald" reporter who was sent 10
investigate his remarkable cure Mr.. Vose
gave detailed account of his long Illness
and subsequent recovery. He began his
narrative by saying:

became greatly aggravated from the nature
