who lives with u.s. and hear what they
have to say" So Mrs Kimball brought
them in, and while the story as told was
most complete and could be added to
by nothing they might say, yet the re-
porter heafd from the lips of the sister
and their pastor, corroborative words
of all that had been said. The reporter
also ran across the son-in-law, Mr.. G.
II. Morrison, cashier of the National
Bank of Troy, and spoke to him of Mr.
Kimball He Is busy man and though
he could only be detained for a moment,
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 III. Flandreau, the dYug-
gist at 814 River ST., Troy, said 1T Is
the most wonderful cure from locomotor
ataxia-a so-called incurable disease
Mr.. Kimball tells me he owes his re-
covery 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 for all the
troubles peculiar to the female sex,
while in the case of men they effect
radical cure in all cases arising from
mental worry, overwork or excuses Of
whatever nature.
These Pills are manufactured by the
DIR. Williams Medicine Company,
Schenectady, N. T.. and Brockville,
Ont, and are sold in boxes tnever in r
loose form by the dozen or hundred and
the public are cautioned against hume
rous limitations sold in this SHAPED at 80
cents box, or six boxes for So. 90, and
