The vast health.giving results already
attributed by the newspapers through.
out this country and Canada to DR..
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 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 assurance OF
disinterested relatives and friends who
had been cognizant OF the years OF pain
and distress injured by the two in
yalids, and who now witness their res
toration 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. o liver c. 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 The home occu-
pied by the family is cosy and neat
looking two stored house, situated on
the top of hill and surrounded by many
of the natural attractions OF residence
in the country. Mr.. Holt is EMPLOYED
in the Crowell shoe mandatory of
Peterboro, and Mr.. Vose has for manv
years run the engine on the Fitchburg
railroad trains between Winchendon
and Peterboro.
Before entering upon an account of
Af H.
mother-in.law, which shall be given in
their own words as taken by report ter
OF the Boston Herald, 1t will be we'll
to give the exact reason for the coming
together under one roof Of the two fami-
lies, as this fact has everything to do
with the manner in which Dr. Viii.
liams' Pink Pills first came to the notice
of Mr.. Vose and the reason of their in
PRODUCTION into the family as a medical
temedy.
Mr.. Vose's wife had been in failing
health for number of years, her i'll
ness finally developing into brain
trouble, accompanied by intermittent
paralysis of the tongue and lower limbs
Death had taken ali her children, and
the heavy atliiction increased her bodily
and mental infrmities to such On 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
10 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
daughters severer and more hopeless
condition was the more urgent and
more appealing case of the two, and 80
MRS. Holt for several years has tried to
forget her own disabilities in tenderly
ministering to her stricken daughter
In February last Mr.. Vose was read
ing the weekly paper, when his atten.
tion was attracted by the account OF a
case OF paralysis cured by the use of Dr.
Williams Pink Pills. The similarity
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
1erially strengthened that she could
walk without difficulty, and in other
reepec;s her condition was much i'm
proved. The benefcent re suits noticed
n Mrs. Vose's condition from 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 eff 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 gave detailed account of his
long illness and subsequent zee very.
