across the small of the back to tile left side,
ane soon my Whole system became afflicted,
causing me the most excruciating pain. In
a very short time I become totally unable to
stVeha 70 any business whatever, and the
disease rapidly growing worse l had to take

CInuously for months the most agonizing

me such pain as almost to throw me into

you the intense pain | suffered. 1 was drawn,
by the seyereness of the malady, over to the
left side; lost my appetite, had no desire for
food, and what little I did eat 1 could not di.
gest, the digestive organs failing to perform
their duty, adding greatly to my already pre-.
carious condition. For weeks at a timeI
was unable to eat or sleep, suffering all the

would lose my reason, and would have vel.
coined death to relieve me of my sufferings.
II consulted with local physicians and
some of the most eminent specialists of the
larger cities throughout the country, some
treating me for one thing and some for ana
other, but without effect, and I received no

eventually become paraiyzed. / spent hun
dreds of dollars in the short time I was
afflicted without receiving the least benefit.
My friends all thought that there was NO
hope for me whatever and said that l mus
die, and I, myself, had almost given up in
despair, when, in September, 1893, about
eight months after I was first afflicted, my
attention was called to DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. Without much hope,
I at once sent to c. F. Hickey & Co., Drug
gists, Mt. Sterling, Ill, and procured some
of the pills and Immediately began taking
them. Before long | became aware of a great
change for the better in my almost hopeless
condition. My appetite came back and my
digestive organs performed their usual
functions properly. took some more and

was enabled to throw away my clutches
and walk upright once more among my fell

weighed 100 pounds, was reduced to lis; I
now weigh 1876, more that ever weighed at
