attributed by the newspapers through
out this country and Canada to DR..
Williams "Pink Pills for Pale People"
have been recently supplemented by
tho wonderful cures wrought in the
cases OF two confirmed invalids in one
household In u 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 disin-
terested relatives and friends who had
been cognlzant Of the years OF pain and
distress endured by the two invalids,
and who now witness their restoration
to health, vigor and capacity.
The names of these people, the fastest
to testify from their own experience TO
the marvellous restorative, tonic and
healing qualities OF DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, are Fred Q. Vose and his mother
in-law, 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 q daugh-
ter OF the Hollis. The home occupied
by the family is u cosy and neat looking
two.storied house, situated on tho top
OF q bill and surrounded by many Of the
natural attractions OF n 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 FitChburg railroad
trains between Winchendon and Peter
boro.
Before entering upon an account OF
the long illnesses OF Mr.. Vose and his
mother-in-llw, which shall be given in
their own words as taken by Il reporter
OF the Boston Herald, it will be well to
Eive-the exact reason for the coming to-
gether under II roof OF the two fami-
lies, as this fact has everything TO do
with the name in which DR.. Will
Jams Pink Pills first came to the notice
of Mr.. Vose and the reason OF their in
PRODUCTION into the family as u medical
remedy.
Mr.. Vose's wife had been in failing
health for a number Of years, her Illness
finally developing into n brain trouble,
accompanied by intermittent paralysis
Of the tongue and lower limbs. Death
has taken all her children, and the
heavy aiiliction increased her bodily
and mental iniirmities to such an extent
that her husband, himself an invalid,
was compelled to take some means TO-.
ward 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
her ailments. Mrs. Holt was herself
suffering from various complaints
brought on by complete nervous pros
tration several years ago, but her daugh-
ter's severer and more hopeless condi-
ton was the more urgent and more APP
p%ealing case OF tho two, and so Mrs.
Holt for several years has tried to forget
her own disabilities in tenderly minis
tering to her stricken daughter.
In February last Mr.. Vose was read-
ing the weekly paper, when his atten-
ton was attracted by the account OF a
case OF paralysis cured by the use OF
DR.. Williams Pink Pills. Tho similar
ity OF the case described TO that OF his
wife at once aroused the deep interest
OF Mr.. Vose, and he called his mother
iu-law's attention to the published arti-
Gle. After long consultation they de-
Cided 10 send for the pills. The benefit
cial effect they had upon Mrs. Vose was
marked. From being unable to stand
she was 80 materially strengthened that
she could walk without difficulty, and
in other respects her condition was
much improved. The benefcent re-
cults noticed in Mrs. Vose'a condition
from n trial OF the pills caused both her
husband and mother TO consider irving
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 they came
to believe that the pills not only could
not hurt, but were actually and speed
lily curing them.
To the Herald reporter who was sent
to investigate his remarkable cure, Mr..
Voso gave a detailed Account OF his
long illness and subsequent recovery.
