ence with la grippe and how he secured
relief by taking DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. Mr.. Lewis is

narrative:
Il began taking DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People two weeks ago
this Sunday I had the grippe for
more than two weeks. l had great
trouble during that time with my eyes
and head. The disease also affected
my appetite and my stomach. 1t re-
ouired great determination and effort
on my part to do my work as pastor,
and | did feel it when I should have
been in bed.
In a weeks time the effects of the
grippe were completely removed. l
then continued the remedy on account
of my stomach difficulty, being conf
dent that it would remove that. l
want to recommend the use of Pink
Pills to all those who are affected as I
have been. I believe they will build
up grippe patients.
las for myself, l cannot say too
much for them I went on the scales
two weeks ago to see what I weighed,
and again to day. wearing the same
clothing. I found l had gained two
~pounds-a pound a week.
ION account of the sedentary habits
natural to my occupation, and to some
internal injuries sustained years ago,
I have had q severe stomach affection,
and have been troubled, beside, a great
deal, with indigestion. Since taking
the Pink Pills my appetite has i'm
proved, my digestion is better, and my
stomach has been relieved of it's pain.
II was struck accidentally in the
stomach by an iron bar and once | was
kicked by a mule in the same place. 1t
was 30 years ago when | was hurt.
Since that time l suffered much from
stomach difficulties. l vas treated
frequently, but not cured. I feel bet
ter now than at any time since I was
hurt, and / am so pleased with my i'm
provement that | am glad to let the
public know of my bettered condition.
l have heard of other cures effected by
the Pink Pills, but l prefer to speak
only of my own case.

The discoverer of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People certainly deserves
the highest tribute that pen can frame.
His medicine has done more to alleviate
the sufferings of humanity than any
medicine known to science, and his
name should be handed down to future
generations as the greatest savant of
the present age.
Messrs. Smith, Kline & French, the
well known wholesale druggists, said,
that DR.. Williams Pink Pills have an
enormous sale in Philadelphia, and
that from all quarters come in glowing
reports of the excellent results follow
ing their use. In nearly every case
the good work has been accomplished
after eminent physicians had failed
and pronounced the patient beyond
the hope of human aid, An ANALYSIS
proves that DR.. Williams Pink Pills
contain in a condensed form all the
elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shat
tered nerves.. They are an unfailing
specific for such diseases as locomotOr
ataXia, partial paralysis, st. Vitus'
dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism,
nervous headache, the after effects of
la grippe, p~alpitation of the heart, pale
and sallow compilations, that tired
feeling resulting from nervous prostra-
ton; all diseases depending upon
vitiated humOrs in the blood such as
scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They
are also a specific for troubles peculiar
TO females, such BIS suppresslons, lrreg-
ularities, and all forms of weakness.
They build up the blood and restore
the glow of health to pale and sallow
cheeks. In men they effect a radical
cure in all cases arising from mental
worry, over work or excuses of what
ever nature.
