On the farm with Mr.. Struble live his two
adult sisters. Miss Annie NJ. Struble made the

attributed solely to Them
Miss Mary f. Struble said: al saw nv brother
In all the stages OF the disease. He began i'm
proving as soon as he began taking the Pink
Pills. When my sister went away in January
he was apparently at deaths door and nobody
seemed TO have any hope for him. He certainly

He declared that be felt better as soon as he be-

myself was attending him day by day, there
could be no doubt that they and they alone
were the cause of his Improvement Why all
other things he had tried he had abandoned
for they had failed to do him the slightest good.
What else could have put him on his feet again ?
We don. wonder at his enthusiasm for the Pin

George J. Bowman, the proprietor OF the
American Hotel at Branchv:lle said "All that
Mr.. Struble says in reference TO the Pink Pills

much about them for they have undoubtedly
saved his life"

Harry Beemer, remarked al have no doubt
