Our representative has made careful IN.

great interest by medical men everywhere

cam. back from the springs in q worse
condition than when went. came home
and laid fat on my back and suffered
the most e1cruciating sgonies, screaming in
room, the only ease obtained being from
the c1A.lnt use Of opiates. After three
months Of this kind Of agony. during
which time nv entire left leg persisted away
to the very bone. nv attention was calle5 to
q new remedy called DR.. William Pink
Pills for Pale People, by Mr.. Allison who is
now train dispatcher at Texarkana and
who was relieved of locomotor ataxia Of
twenty years duration. At his urgent and
repeated solicitation I consented to give
them a trial, after taking q few doses
began to improve: I continued taking the
pills and kept right on improving until I
was finally cured. Ny leg is just the same
size now as the other one, and ! am sure
that Pink Pills not only cured me but saved
my life.
