Here Mr.. Thomas displayed his arms,
and just above the elbow of each there
was large irregular stain as large as
the palm of the hand and of purple
color, the space covered by the mark
was sunken nearly to the bone
'That," said Mr.. Thomas, sis what
the doctors did by putting morphine
into me.
ION the 18th of December, 1892 just
eight months after I took permanently

my cousin Joe Foster of Carriers Greek,
called on me and gave me a box Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie, saying they had cured him Of par.
tial paralysis, with which / knew he
had all but died. I followed his di.
rections and began taking the med-
cine. AS u result I stand before you
to-day the most surprised man on
earth. Look at my hand; it is as steady
as yours; my face has healthy look
about it: have been attending to my
duties for a month. Since l began
taking the pills I have gained 30
pounds, and I am still gaining. Ali
the knots have disappeared from my
body except this little kernel here in
my palm. I have a good appetite and
I am almost as strong as ever was.
Yesterday rode thirty-seven miles
on horseback; I feel tired to-day but
not sick. I used to have from two to
four spells of heart palpitation every
night. Since I began the use of the
pills I have had but four spells alto
gether.
II know positively that I was cured
by DR. Williams Pink Pills, and BE-
lieve firmly that it is the most won,
