A WALKING CORPSE
TERM APPLIED TO A LADY BY
HER FRIENDS.

Mrs Reed, of Chehalis, WASH, Tells OF
Her Recovery From Loss of
Blood and Dropsy.
From the Nugget, Chehalis, Wash.
The neighbors called her walking
corpse. For fifteen years she had suf-
fered from loss of blood and dropsy.
She had not the strength to stand
alone. She had spent thousands OF
dollars with the doctors and had been
unable to find relief. Her case was
considered hopeless.
That is the experience OF Mrs. Z.
Reed, a well-known lady of Chehalls,
Wash.
A Nugget reporter called upon her
at her home last Tuesday. She was
willing to be interviewed, she said, If
she could be the means of pointing out
to other unfortunates the way to recov-
cry and good health.
st has been over fifteen years since
the malady asserted ITSELF, said Mrs.
Reed. "Since then, until within the
last few months, 1 never knew what it
was to be we'll for a single day. |
could not sleep. My appetite went
away and l began to lose flesh. This
continued for years. l became SO weak
| could not wait upon myself. l had
to have the help of others to dress and
undress, even to walk from one room
to another. lost all my strength. In
addition, 1 had dropsy of the blood.
My limbs were swollen, and nothing l
could do seemed to afford me relief.
The doctors said l must take iron to
strengthen and invigorate my blood. l
took iron-took it by the bottle and by
the box; took it morning, noon and night.
But it did no good, and l had finally
lost all hope.
cat last l saw an account of DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
l thought this fitted my case exactly
and l tried to get some of the pills.
They were not kept at the drugstores
here, and had to send to Olympia.
They came finally, however. began
to take them and experienced relief
Immediately. l sent for two more
boxes to the DR.. Williams Company at
Schenectady, N. Y, and by the time l
had taken them l felt like a new
woman. have been taking them oc
casionally since then.
cit was two years ago that l began
to use DR.. Williams Pink Pills. l
was 60 years of age then, and had not
been able to do my Homework for
many years. Now | am able to care
for myself, to do my own work, and |
can walk long distances without being
especially fatigued.
81 think my cure is a marvellous one,
and is due entirely to the Pink Pills
for Pale People. Without them fear
[ should have been dead before now.
'Since my cure has become known
the druggists here have always kept the
pills, and do not have to send away
for them any more. | have recon-
mended them to several of my neigh
bors, and l know that they have done
much good in more than one case sim
liar to my own"
In order to confirm this statement
beyond all doubt Mrs. Reed offered to
make affidavit to its truth, and the
affidavit is here presented.
Subscribed and sworn to before me
this l4th day Of May. 1895.
