Boston, Mass, Herald.)
The vast health giving results al
ready attributed by the newspapers
throughout this country and Canada
to DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People, have been recently supple
mented by the wonderfulc 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 from the use of this great medi
cine is vouched for, not only by the
eager testimony of the patients them
selves gladly given for the benefit Of
other sufferers, but also by the lndu
bitable assurances of disinterested rela-
tives and friends who had been cogniz
ant Of the years of pain and distress
endured by the two invallds, 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 @. VOse and his mother
in law. Mrs. Oliver G.. Holt, Of Peter
boro, 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. Mr.. Holt IS
employed in the CrOWel shoe manu-
factory of PeterbOro.
Mr.. Vose's wife had been in failing
health for a number Of years, her i'll
ness finally developing into a brain
trouble, accompanied by intermittent
paralysis Of the tongue and lower
limbs. Death had taken all her chill
dren, and the heavy 8fajctiOn increased
her bodily and moral infirmities tOsuch
an extent that her husband, himself an
invalid, was compelled to take some
means toward securing for her com
plete rest and freedom from all house
hold care.
In February last Mr.. Vose heard Of
a case of paralysis cured by the use of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills. The similar
ity of the case described to that Of his
wife at once aroused his interest. After
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 materially strengthened that she
could walk without difficulty, and in
other respects her condition was much
improved. This caused both heI hus
band 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.
To the Herald reporter who was sent
to investigate his remarkable cure,
Mr.. Vose said: Il am not anxious to
get into the papers, but, as [ wrote the
DR.. Williams Medicine Co. I have felt
such happy results from the taking of
Pink Pills that l am willing, if my ex-
perience will help any M else, to state
: how they benefited me. I am 81 years
old, and Is years Of this time [ have
? spent in railrOading for the FitChbuTg
railroad on the Winchendon and Peter
bOro branch. For the past three year.
! I have been engineer of the train
which connects with the Boston trains
at Winchendon. l have. been troubled
with a weak stomach from my boy
hood. Seven years ago, however, the
complaint became greatly aggravated
, from the nature of my work and other
causes, and | suffered greatly from it.
Ny stomach would not retain food, my
head ached constantly, there was a
dimness, or blur, before my eyes most
/ of the time, and my head used to be-
come so dizzy [ could scarcely stand.
On getting up in the morning my head
swan so I was frequently obliged to
lie down again. had a most disagree
able heart burn, a continuous belching
} Of gas from the stomach, q nasty coat
ing of the mouth and tongue, and my
E breath was most offensive. IcOnsulted
physicians in PeterborO, and took their
medicines for two years, but washelped
SO slightly by them that al the end of
! that time l gave up in Encouragement.
, and let the disease take. care Of itself
for a long time. IgreW worse as time
went on. | have been obliged to give
up work many a time for a week or
two, and have worked at other times
) when [ ought to have been at home in
bed. l have lost many months during
the past sever years and would have
lost more only for the fact that l stuck
it out and would not give up until |
had to. My appetite then failed me,
and about four years ago | began to
notice a futtering Of my heart, which

palpitation and complete loss of breath.
The pains in my stomach, from indi.
gesti0n lasted two and three days at a
time. [ lost considerable flesh, and
before long I noticed that my kidneys
} were affected. This came from nv
work on the engine, l know, as many
railroad men are troubled in the same
way. | had awful pains in the small
of nv back. and was OBLIGED tn make
water many times during the day. |
resolved to go back to the doctors
again, though their treatment had
done me no good before. l was told
that medicine was no good for me, that
