Seven years ago, however. the CON-
plant became greatly aggravated from
the nature OF my work and other causes,
and suffered greatly from IL. My stom-
ach would not retain food, my head ached
constantly, there was dimness, or blur,
before my eyes most OF the time, and my
head used to become so dizzy l could

most disagreeable heartburn, contlnu-
GUS belching OF gas from the stomach, a
nasty coating OF the mouth and tongue,
and my breath was most offensive. ]

took their medicines for two years, but
was helped so slightly by them that at
the end Of that time gave up In dis

my appetite then failed me, and about
four years ago began to notice fiutter-
ing OF my heart, which grew 80 bad after
a while that could not walk any dis

complete loss OF breath. The pains In
my stomach, from indigestion lasted two
and three days at time. lost consider

again, though their treatment had done
me no good before. Twas told that medi

needed was long rest. l could not tak'
too long vacation, being compelled Il
work for my living, and SO kept along
taking what stuff the doctors prescribed
but feeling no better, except for day Of
two at time.

continued taking the pills three times
day ever since last March, and to-day
am feeling better than at any time durinI
the last eight years.

} After talking with Mr.. Vose at the de
pot, where his engine was In waiting, tn,
reporter went to the house where Mrs
Holt, the other patient for whom thu
pills have done 80 much, received hin
and gave an extended account OF her OK
perience with them. Mrs. Holt said:
II am 81 years old, and for II years
past | have had an intermittent hear
trouble. Three years ago had nervous
prostration, which left me with number
Of ailments, for which have been doctor
ing unsuccessfully ever since. My hear
trouble was increased so badly by tn,
nervous prostration that had to lie dowr
most of the time. My stomach also CAV,

Pink Pills last winter, more from curios-
ity than because l believed they could
help me, but the first box made me feel
ever so much better. have taken the
pills since February last and they have
made me feel like new woman. The
terrible pains In my spinal column and In
the region OF my liver are gone, and be-
lieve for good. My palpitation has only
troubled me three times since / commend
ed using the pills, and my stomach now
performs it's functions without giving me

differently from any medicine ever took
