them. This is not to he wondered at
when it is taken into consideration
how often they are called upon by UNI
scrupulous persons to fabricatc and
publish stories Of remarkable cures
and perhaps print picture of the
mythical man or woman supposed to
have been cured. That all medicine
advertisements are not mere "fakcs,n
and that all newspaper men are not
equally prejudiccd is proven by
story published in the Cincinnati
Times-Star of wcll-known news

reading an advertisement. So re-

that it is here reproduced as published
in the Timcs-Star:

Pink Pills, while advertised and
handled by the drug trade as pro-
prictary article, are not considered a
patent medicine in the sense that
name implies, For many years prev
ious to their general manufacture they
were used rs II prescription. At first
their great restorative powers were
not fully recognized and they were
chiefly prescribed for impure blood
and general weakness. Their re-
markable success in such cases, and
the fact that there was nothing in the
formula that could do any harm, even
il they did not do any good, led to
their being tried in eases where the
skill of the physician and the power
Of medicine had -entirely failed.
Their power of restoration seemed to
border ON the marvellous. They
proved to be a never-failing specific
for such diseases rs lOcomOtOr ataxia,
partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance,
sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, ner-
vous headache, the after effect of la
grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale
and sallOw compilations, and all dis
eases of the blood such as scrofula,
chronic erysipelas, etc.
They are also specific for troubles
peculiar to females, impressions, ir-
Irregularities, aud all forms Of weak
ness, They build up the blood and
restore the glow Of health to pale and
sallow cheeks. In ease of men they
effect a radical cure in all cases aris-
ing from mental worry, ovcrwork or
excuses of whatever nature
