In l>SS. attended 10y my son John, I

possible for me to give attention to my

an account of DR.. Williams Pink fills

This was something new. and as ono
more drug after 20 many others could
, not do so much harm. John prevailed

expected to live for more than three
or four days ut the time. The effect
of the pills. however. was marvellous
and could soon eat heartily. a thing

gan almost in simultaneously to perform
its functions, and has done SO ever
since. Without doubt the pills saved
