became a resident of this town, - said Col
Sugg in telling his story to reporter,
''even then the first symptoms OF Gravel
We're asserting themselves but We're slight.
Gradually, however, my disease developed,
and fight it as / would it seemed to gain
stronger foothold day by day until my
misery was complete. For sixteen years
| never knew what it was to be free from
pain, not pain as an ordinary man thinks
Of it, but agonizing, excruciating, unen-
durable pain. Tortured from head to foot,
at times thrown into spasms when 1t
would require the united strength OF
four men to hold me until l was stupe-
fed with stimulants and opiates. / could
not sit, lie or stand in any one position
but the shortest time. Sleep was out
of the question unless brought about by
the strongest stimulants or opiates. On
how many, many times have Thought
of putting an end to that life OF suffering.
But then my mind would revert to my wife,
my children, my home, and L would
restrain my hand with the hope that
some other means of escape would be
offered. | searched the archives OF medl-
cine 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 yet the
result was the same.

but nature gave way at last and L sue
cumbed to the inevitable. My entire ner-
yous system had been shattered by the
stimulants and opiates had taken, my
blood had actually turned to water, my
weight had dropped from l73 pounds to
1913, and it seemed to everybody that the
end was in sight. Why l could not bear
the gentle hand of my wife to battle my
limbs with tepid water. l was simply
living from hour to hour. | had made my
will, settled my business and waited for
the last strand Of life to snap.
1t was at this time that somewhat
similar case as my own was brought to
my notice. This man had suffered very
much as | had, his life had been despaired
of as mine had and yet he had been cured.
| Think what that little word meant to me
CURED. The report stated that the
work had been accomplished by medi-
cine known as DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. 1 investigated the report
thoroughly and found that it was true in
detail Then 1 procured some of DIR.
Williams Pink Pills and began taking
them and began to get better. l began
to sleep like healthful child, sound,
calm and peaceful. My appetite came
back and my nerves were soothed and
restored to their normal condition and
felt like new man. But the greatest
blessing was the mental Improvement
/ began 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 clients realized that l was
again myself. After lapse of ten years
| ride horse back every day without
fatigue.
"That DR.. Williams Pink Pills saved
my life is beyond doubt, and l am spread
ing their praise far and wide"
