Mrs. Reed, of Chehalis, WASH, Tells of
Her Recovery From Loss of
Blood and Dropsy.
From the Nugget, Chehalis, Wash.
The neighbors called her walking
corpse. For fifteen years she had suf-
fered from loss Of blood and dropsy.
She had not the strength to stand
alone. She had spent thousands of
dollars with the doctors and had been
unable to find relief. Her case was
considered hopeless.
That is the experience of Mrs. G.
Reed, well-known lady of Chehalis,
Wash.
A Nugget reporter called upon her
at her home last Tuesday. She was
willing to be interviewed, she said, if
she could be the means of pointing out
to other unfortunates the way to recov-
cry and good health.
1t has been over fifteen years since
the malady asserted ITSELF" said Mrs.
Reed. "Since then, until within the
last few months, I never knew what it
was to be well for a single day. I
could not sleep. My appetite went
away and began to lose flesh. This
continued for years. I became SO weak
I could not wait upon myself. 1 had

undress, even to walk from one room
to another. lost all my strength. In
addition, had dropsy of the blood.
My limbs were swollen, and nothing l
could do seemed to afford me relief.
The doctors said I must take iron to
strengthen and invigorate my blood.

the box; took it morning, noon and night.
But it did no good, and I had finally
lost all hope.

and tried to get some of the pills.

here, and I had to send to Olympia.
They came finally, however. I began
to take them and experienced relief
Immediately. I sent for two more
boxes to the DR.. Williams Company al
Schnectady, N. Y, and by the time
had taken them I felt like new

casionally since then.

to use DIR. Williams Pink Pills.

been able to do my housework fol
many years. Now am able to care
for myself, to do my own work, and
can walk long distances without being
especially fatigued.
II think my cure is marvellous one,
and is due entirely to the Pink Pills
for Pale People. Without them I fear
I should have been dead before now.
''Since my cure has become known
the druggists here have always kept the
pills, and I do not have to send away
for them any more. I have recon.
mended them to several of my neigh.

much good in more than one case sim.
