Gradually, however, my disease developed,

was out of the question unless brought about
by the strongest stimulants or opiates. Oh
how many, many times nave l thought of
putting an end to that life of suffering. But

of escape would be offered. / searched the
archives of medicine for relief. Doctors
were consulted, lithia waters, mineral
waters, drugs, opiates and stimulants Of all
sorts were tried without avail. Why l sent
clear to the West Indies for medicine and

been shattered by the stimulants and opiates

living from hour to hour. l had made my
will, settled my business and waited for the
last strand of life to snap.
at was at this time that a somewhat SINH

notice. This man had suffered very much
as | had, his life had been despaired of as
mine had and yet he had been cured. Thing
what that little word meant to me-
CURED. The report stated that the worll;;
had been accomplished by a medicine known
as DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
l investigated the report thoroughly and
found that it was true in detail. Then l pro-
cured some of DR.. vii liams' Pink Pills and
began taking them and began to get
better. I began to sleep like a healthful
child, sound, calm and peaceful. My appe..

and restored to their normal condition and l
felt like a new man. But TIE greatest bless

to read and digest, to formulate new plans,
to take interest in my law practice, which
began to come back to me as soon as my
