Biggsville, twenty-nine miles west Of
Galesburg, ILL.,, ON the line Of the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad,
is an old, quiet little town. In earlier
days it was noted as a good business
point.
1t was here that a representative of the
Observation-Disclosures found Mrs. Rhoda
Talcott, 81 years of age, who told him, in
the presence of her grateful daughter,
Mrs. E. Sloan, the following story, which
is given as nearly as possible in her own
language:
Eyes, it is with great pleasure that l
can give my testimony to the great value
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. Over thirty
years ago l was taken with q chill and
erysipelas set in. For sixteen weeks 1
was not able to walk a step. The ply
sicians proposed to take off one of my
limbs. but finally decided not to do so. 1t
mortified in spots, which had to be cut or
burnt out. After | was able to get about,
with the use of ~crutches, every two or
three months erysipelas would set in
again, and / suffered intensely from it. |
had a good many different Doctors: DR..
Fitch, of Sheridan, Iowa; DR.. Brown, of
Chanute, Kansas; DR.. Scarft, of Burling-
ton, Iowa; DR.. Trembly, of Oakland, Cali
fornia; DR.. Searle, of Galesburg, Hi
Aois, and a doctor in Kansas City, but OBJ
tanned no relief, and after treatment from
all these physicians, instead of getting
better, began to get very much worse.
The other limb broke out in two places
with sores about the size of a silver dol
lar. l could not sleep nights without the
aid of morphine. My limbs were so bad
ly swollen that | could not put on my
shoes or walk q step without either hav-
ing on a heavy bandage or a silk or rub
Der stocking. About a year ago | read of
and was told by a neighbor about DR..
Williams Pink Pills. / concluded, as a
last resort, to try them, as | felt certain
l could find no other relief. From the
very first after | commenced to use the
pills, | began to improve. and since that
time l have not been troubled ut ali. |
would not have done without the Pink
Pills for anything, as they have most GER
tainly prolonged my life. My general
health is much better than it has been
for a good many years. and | am now 81
years of age. Have not only used the
Pink Pills with success, but have recon-
mended them to my friends whom l
thought needed such treatment, and sew
eral have tried them and found relief"
Mrs. Sloan said that just before com
mencing to use the Pink Pills. she
thought her mother could live but a very
short time, and was most agreeably sur
prlSeu a1ter she naQ taken the plllS.
Mrs. Talcott has made her home with
her daughter for five or six years. and she
can most cheerfully certify to the benefit
her mother has derived from the use of
the medicine.
The reporter also called on Mr.. George
Kelly, the son of one Of the prominent
hardware dealers in Biggsville. who has
used Pink Pills. He was troubled
with pains in the stomach and back, and
from the very first he commenced to
get better, and now he is not troubled at
all.
John Mckee, the druggist in the vii
lage, stated that he had sold a great
many of DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and
that they most certainly give the best of
satisfaction and have accomplished great
results. Quite a number of the villagers
are now using them.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a
condensed form. all the elements neces-
sary to give new life and richness to the
blood and restore shattered nerves. They
are sole by all dealers. or will be
sent post paid on receipt of price, 80 cents
a box, or six boxes for $3.50. by address,
