ted from the nature of my work and
other causes, and I suffered greatly
from it. My stomach would not re-
tain food, my head ached constantly,
there was a dimness, or blue, before
my eyes most of the time, and my
head used to become so dizzy 1
could scarcely stand On getting
up IN the morning my head swan
so was frequently obliged to lie
down again. l had most disagree
able heartburn, a continuous belch-
ing OF gas from the stomach, mas
ty coating of the mouth and tongue,
and my breath was most offensive.
| consulted physicians in Peterboro,
and took their medicines for two
years, but was helped so slightly by
them that at the end of that time I
gave up in encouragement, and let
the disease take care of itself for
long time. l grew worse as time
went on. l have been obliged to
give up work many a time for a
week or two, and have worked at
other times when I ought to have
been at home in bed. I have lost
many months during the past seven
years and would have lost more only
for the fact that I stuck it out and
would not give up until I had to

could not walk any distance without
a violent palpitation and comp plete
loss OF breath. The pains in my
stomach, from indigestion lasted
two and three days at time. l lost
considerable flesh, and before long
l noticed that my kidneys were af-
fected. This came from my work
on the engine, I know, as many
railroad men are troubled in the
same wsy, I had awful pains in the
small of my back, and was obliged
to make water many times during
the day.
Il resolved to 60 back to the doc
tors again, though their treatment
had done me no good before. I was
told that medicine was no good for
me, that what I needed was g long
rest. l could not take too long q
vacation, being compelled TO work
for my living, and 80 I kept along,
taking what stuff the doctors pre-
scribed, but feeling no better, ex-
cept for day or two at time.
FINALLY my legs and hands began
to ache and swell with rheumatic
pains, and found I couldn't sleep
at night. If lay down, my heart
would go pit a-pet at a great rate,
and many nights I did not close my
eyes at all.
Il was broken down in body aad
discouraged in spirit, when, some
time in February last, I was read
ing in the "Montreal Family Herald
and Weekly STAR" which we take
every week, of the great cures made
by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. got a couple of boxes for
my wife to see if she would be help
ed any by them, and then I tried
them myself. I did not put much
stock In them at first, but before I
had finished the first boz noticed
that l was feeling better. The pal
pitation OF my heart, which had
bothered me 80 that I conldn't
breathe at times, began to i'm prove.
l saw that in going to my home on
the hill from the depot, which was
previously al awful task, my heart
did not beat so violently and I had
more breath when I reached the
house. After the second and third
boxes 1 grew better in every other
respect My stomach became stron-
ger, the gas belching was not so
bad, my appetite and digestion i'm
proved, and my sleep became nearly
nstural and undisturbed. I have
continued taking the pills three
times day ever since last March,
and today 1 am feeling better than
at any time during the last eight
years.
Il can confidently and conscient-
iously say that they have done me
more good, and their good effects
are more permanent, than any med
icine have ever taken. My rheu-
matte pains in legs and hands are
all gone. The pains in the small of
my back, which were so bad at
times that I couldn't stand up
straight, have nearly all vanished,
and l find my kidneys are we'll reg

"They have been a saving of

still taking the pills, and mean to
continue them until l am certain nv

depot, where his engine was in wait

much, received him and gave an ex-
