! the particulars OF II nhmber of cures so
remarkable as Ia justify The term miracu-
| lous These cases were investigated ana
vouched for by The Albany Journal, the
Detroit News, Albany Express, and other
papers whose reputation is a guarantee
that The facts were ms stated. That the
| Term miraculous was justified will be adj
! mItted when il is remembered that in each
| of the cases referred TO the sufferer had
been pronounced incnraDle by leading
| physicians. ana ~ least one OF the cases
was heated 10y men whose reputation has
! placed them among the leaders Of the
worlds medical scientists, but without
avail and The patient was sent 10 his home
with me verdict that there wac no hope
for him, and that only death could inter-
| ytne 10 relieve his suffering. When some
months later The restoration TO health and
! strength Of he former sufferer was,an
nounced il is little wonder that the case
created profound sensa ION throughout
The country Recently the following let

SoLsvILLE, MADISON Co., N. Y,
June %, 1892.
Five weeks ago father, Philander Fly de,
was very low and mol expected to live but
Il short time. He Was in such agony that
we had 10 give him morphine to relieve
the terrible pam from which he was suffer
ing. The doctors had given him up They
said there was ~ help for him, and my
! dear father longdd for death as beng the
only certain relief from his sulferings.
| One day he saw in Tue Albany Journal an
account OF how = man who, afflicted like
father with lOCOmotOr alaXia, had been
! very greatly benefited and hoped fer per.
mancnl cure from the use Of DR.. Williams
| Pink Pills tor Pale People. On learning
that these pills c6nld be hid Of DR.. Viii
ialls' Medicine Company, schenectady,
and that they were not expensive, my nus
band sent 50 80 for six boxes Of them.
/ aud what blessing they have been
| Father has taken tut four. boxes OF the
Pink Pills. He is no longer confined 10
his bed, bul is able 10 gel up without
assistance and with the aid only of a cane
TO walk about Tie house and all around
out of doors, He has good hearty appe-
|
in The back from which he suffered so
long and so terribly has left him, He has
30 more creeping chills and he appears
and says he iecls like a new man, The
doctors had pronounced his disease to be
creeping paralysis and said lie could MOI
he cured. How glad we are that we heard
about these wonderful Pink Pills, and
how thankful we are for what they have
done for father Indeed they have done
wonders, yes, even a miracle Tor him.
