arose and greeted the new conner with the
grace OF a diplomat and as he opened up
conversation IL was evidtns that Mr. Hagen
was person OF more than ordinary intelli-
kgence. 10 his visitor the rem irkable changes
and peculiar career OF this man was a source
of much interest. The wonderful transtOr-
nation in his appearance within the past
two years is itself worthy the study of
scientist. Mr.. Hagen. a couple OF years
ago, was. so weak aud emaciated that today
he does not seem the same individual.
Rheumatism Was the CAUSE of las terrible
suff. rings.
He is Detroiter by birth, having first
seen the light OF day in this city 36 years
ago. When quite boy he was apprenticed
to the holders trade and ever since he has
followed this avOcation. He Is quite prom
inent member OF the local StOvemOlder's
Union and can be found nearly every Sat
urday night in attendance at the meeting OF
the Order. About two years ago MIR. Hagen
became seriously affected with rheumatism,

was that of a man who was tortured to
death 10y rheumatism He was induced to
pie. He was Immediately cured doubted
the truth OF the matter al first, but thought
would try it. had my people hunt all
over town but they could not find the pills
at any of the drug stores. The only place
they were then sold at was over in Windsor
Well, my relatives went over there and
purchased few boxes. Great Christopher,

DR.. Williams Pink Pills are not patent
medicine in the sense in which that term is
generally understood, but are a scientific
preparation successfully used In general
practice for many years before being offered
to the public generally. They contain i'm a
condensed form all the c'"m nts necessary
to give new life and ricllne,, to the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They are an
unfailing specific for such diseases as loco
motor ataxia, partial paralysis, ST. Vitus
dance, sciatca, neuralgia, rheumatism,
nervous headache, the after effects of Id
grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and
salOw compilations, tuat tired feeling re-
sulting from nervous prOstratiOn; all dis
eases depending upon vitiated humOrs in
the blood such as scrOfula, chronic erysipe-
las, etc. They are also a specific for troubles
peculiar to females, such as suppressions,
Irregularities and all forms of weakness
They build up the blood and restore the
glow OF health to pale or sallO " cheeks. In
the case of men they effect a radical cure i'm
all cases arising from mental worry, over
work and excess of whatever nature.
These Pills are manufactured by the DIR.
Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, n.
c., and BrOckvile, Ont, and are sold only
in boxes bearing the firms trade mark and
wrapper at so cents box, or six boxes for

Pink Pills are never sold in bulk, or by the
dozen or hundred and any dealer who offers
a substitute IN this form is trying to de-
fraud you and should be avoided. DR.. Will
liam's Pink Pills may be had of all drug
