Henry Gehrke is a thrifty aud prosperous
German farmer living four miles south OF
Bullion, in this (Adair) county, Mo. MIR.
Gehrke has a valuable farm and he has
been resident of the county for years
He IL very well known hereabouts and well
respected wherever he is known. Last
week a reporter of the Journal stopped at
Mr.. Gehrke's and while there became much
interested In Mrs. Gehrke's account of the
benefit she had not long since experienced
from the use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. She said she wanted every
body to know what a great medicine these
pills are, but as so many people are prais-
ing them nowadays, she modestly doubted
whether her testimony could add anything
to what others had already said of them.
Her only reason for talking for publication
about Pink Pills was that the people of
Adair and neighboring counties might be
convinced, If any doubted, that unpublished
testimonials concerning Pink Pills were
genuine statements from the lips of persons
who have been benefited by the use OF
them. Speaking of her own interesting
experience, Mrs. Gehrke said
"a little over a year ago was completely
broken down. had been taking medicine
from doctor but grew worse and worse
until / could scarcely go about at all The
least exertion or the mere bending of my
body would cause me to have smothering
spells, and the suffering was terrible 4
thought it was caused by my heart. When
everything else had failed to relieve me
and had given up all hopes Of ever being
anything but a helpless invalid, Glanced
to read some testimonials in the Farm,
Field and Fireside, also in the Chicago
Inter-Ocean and the suffering of the people
who made the statements we're SO nearly
like the suffering i had endured that
when read that they were SO
greatly benefited by the use Of DR..
