The vast health-giving results already attrib-
uted by the newspapers throughout this country
and Canada to DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People" have been recently supplemented
by the wonderful cures wrought in The cases of
two confirmed invalids in one household IN a
New England town. The radical Improvement
In the physical condition Of these two people
nom the use of this great medicine is youched
for, not only by the eager testimony OF the pa
tients themselves, gladly given for the benefit
Of other sufferers, but also by the indubitable
assurances Of disinterested relatives and friends
who had been cognizant 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 latest to testify
from their own experience to the marvellous
restorative, tonic and healing qualities of DR..
Williams Pink Pills. are Fred c. vose and his
mother-in-law. Mrs. oliverC Holt, ofPeterboro,
members of the same household. which is COM
posed OF Mr.. and Mrs. Holt and Mr.. and Mrs.
Vose the latter daughter of the Hollis. The
home occupied by the family is cosy and neat
looking two-s.oried house, situated on the top
attractions of a residence in the country. Mr..
Holt is employed in the Crowell shoe manufac-
tory Of Peterboro, and Mr. Vose has for many
years run the engine on the Fitchburg railroad
trains between Winehendon and Peterboro.
Before entering upon an account Of the long
illnesses OF Mr.. Nose and his mother-in-law,
which shall be given in their own words as
taken by a reporter of the Boston Herald, it
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
medical remedy.
Mr.. Vose's w e had been in failing health for
number Of years, her illness finally develop
ing into brain trouble, accompanied by inter-
mittent paralysis of the tongue and lower limbs.
Death had taken all her children, and the heavy
afliction increased her bodily and mental in
firmities 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
to her parents home, where her mother might
care for her in her ailments. Mrs. Holt was her
self suffering from various complaints brought
on by complete nervous prostration several
years ago. but her daughters severer and
more hopeless condition was the more urgent
and more appealing case of the two, and so Mrs
Holt for several years has tried to forget her
own disabilities in tsnderly ministering to her
stricken daughter.
In February last Mr.. vose was reading the
weekly paper, hen his attention was attracted
by the account ofa case of paralysis cured by
the use OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills. The SIM
ilarity Of the case described to that Of his wife
at once aroused the deep interest OF Mr.. vose,
and he called his mother-in-law's attention TO
the published article. After long consultation
they decided to send for the pills. The beneficial
effect they had upon Mrs. vose was marked
From being unable to stand she was SO ma
terially strengthened that she could walk with
out difficulty, and In other respects her condi.
ton was much improved. The beneficent re-
suits noticed in Mrs. Vose's condition from a
trial of the pills caused both her husband and
mother to consider trying 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 speedily curing them.

sequent recovery. He began his narrative by
saying:
