1t was while sitting in his comfortable
home, looking out over the valley and the
landscape which charms the spectator, as
seen from his door, that Mr.. Duff told the
writer of his experiences as n soldier, and
the results of the wounds which he received
while wearing the uniform Of his country.
H. Il
head, )" said he, ''has troubled me ever since
it was inflicted, more or less, but in the past
three years much more than formerly. At
various times l was affected with nervous
twitchings and involuntary movements of
the muscles of my face and limbs that was
alarmed lest it should terminate with par
alysis. ! consulted various doctors, tried q
number of medicines which friends recon-
mended, but derived no benefit until a
nephew brought me some of the Pink Pills
for Pale People. He had heard Of some re-
markable benefits conferred by this remedy
IN various ones whom he knew. and prom
'sed TO bring me some, which he did very
soon after his visit ut which he first men,
.ioned them. took them as directed on the
box. and confess that did so more to please
my nephew than with any expectation that
they would do me any good. l was most
agreeably surprised, however. after had
been taking them for a few days, to notice
that my nervous twitchings and involuntary
muscular movements We're pronouncedly
less noticeable, and that felt better in every
way. My appetite, which had been capri
cious and iltful, began to improve, and foods
of which ! am very fond, but which for a
long time I was obliged TO deny myself,
! caused me no discomfort. and began to get
strong and robust. | experienced such good
results from this remedy that 1 continued
taking it until felt myself no longer In need
OF it. After takin. the Pink Pills for per-
haps four months, as directed, have never
had sign or symptom of return of the
nalady which worried me for years. To-day
l am as robust as a man of my age can ex-
prct TO be, especially after having endured
the exposure and rigots incidental to tho
life of n soldier. attribute my cure to the
Pink Pills for Pale People. and think them
most wonderful remedy for building up peo-
plo who are run down physically and men
tally. They seem 10 impart strength AMI
tone to the whole system. acting biandly and
benciicently on body and brain. At least
that has been my experience, and to those
whose disorders are of n nervous nature, I
should thing they could get nothing better
than the Pink Pills. In my own case, know
that they relieved me of pains which racked
NEAL over, and dissipatei nausea and pains
in the stomach which made life miserable,
and the pleasures of the table, which to me
is great pleasure. something only to be re-
membered, not to be enjoyed. 1t is different
now. however. Ny appetite is just As keen
and l relish food rs well as l ever did, and
hat is saying not Il little"
Mr. Dun said it has been several months
since he has taken any medicine, and he
thinks he has no need for any. He said he
would take the Pink Pills il he felt the neel
of any medicine but he is persuaded that
when people do not need medicine it should
De let alone.
