In reply, Or. Porter relatedthe following
Twenty years ago, while living in Morgan

trated me, and from that time until a few
months ago ! suffered untold agony, and in
fact never knew wen day / tried every
thing in the way OF medicine that | could
hear Of, and consulted physicians Tor miles
around, but found no relief, and resigned
myself to the inevitable, as / thought, and
awaited the end. A few mo this ago my son
saw an account in your paper of a new medi-
cine called Dr.. Williams Pink pills and
wanted me to try It, / told linn it was no
use, that they would do me no good: but

leave my room ia good weather, and then was
not able to do any work I saw Pink pills
advertised, and was urged by DR.. Porter and

in patent medicines, and for several weeks
positively refused to try them. They finally
overcame my prejudices, however and ! am
