Eyes, 1t is with great pleasure that can
give my testimony to the great value OF
Dr. Williams Pink Pills. Over thirty years
ago was taken with a chill and erysipelas
set in. For sixteen weeks was not able to
walk a step. The physicians 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 I suffered intensely from

better, began TO get very much worse. The
other limb broke out in two places with
sores about the size of a silver dollar /
could not sleep night without the aid of
morphine. My limbs were so badly swollen
that could not put on my shoes or walk
step. without either having on heavy
bandage or silk or rubber stocking. About
a year ago l read OF and was told by a
neighbor, about Dr. Williams Pink Pills.
l concluded, as a last resort, to try them,
as felt certain could find no other relief
From the very first after / commenced to
use the pills, began to improve, and since
that time / have not been troubled at ALL
j would not have done without the Pink
Pills for anything, as they have most GER
tainly prolonged my live. My general
health is much better than it has been for a
good many years, and i am now 81 years
Of age. Have not only used the Pink Pills
with success, but have recommended them
to my friends whom / thought needed such
treatment, and several 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 q very short
time, and was most agreeabiy surprised
after she had given the pills a trial.
Mrs. Talcott has made her home with her
daughter for five or six years, and she can
most cheerfully certify to the benefit she
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 of Biggsville, who has
used the 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.

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.
