Hearing through Messrs. Allen
Burch, druggists of Niles, that Mr.. sllas
2. Pennell, a respected citizen OF that town
had been cured of bad case OF sciatlc
rheumatism by the use of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, the editor OF
the Cayuga County Independent deter
mined to know the truth of the matter
and went to Niles to ascertain from MT
Pennell himself what his condition was
and what the pills had done for him.
Mr.. Pennell is a farmer and has neat
and comfortable home near the Niles post
office. or dutch Hollow, as it is COM
monty called. We asked Mr.. Pennell If
it was true that he had been cured OF
bad case of rheumatism by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. He replied that it was true
and that he would tell us about it in
few words. He said that three years ago
in August 1891, he was seized with Sc
we're pains in the hip, just where the SCI
attic nerve is, as he was informed later,
which gradually ran down his leg, max
ing life misery to him but not prevent
ing him from doing some work on the
farm. Soon after he was loading hay
when he slipped off the load and his hip,
in the exact spot where the pain started,
struck on the wheel. After this he was
worse, suffering great agony, and for
some time was unable to do any work.
He took such medicines as his physician
prescribed and improved somewhat so
that he could help some around the farm
again. About Thanksgiving time he was
har of cider
which he had made, when he strained
himself and again became helpless. He
then tried another physician who felt
confident of curing him by the use OF the
electric battery and medicines which he
prescribed. But failure was the result,
he got no better, and another physician
was tried and treated him for some time.
By this time his whole body was affected
and his life was a miserable one. Sharp
pains would start in his hand or foot, run
up one side of his body, over his shoulders
and then down the other side and then
pass off for short time. These pains
would return regularly, affecting his
whole body, and nothing seemed to re-
lievc him and he began to despair of ever
being we'll. In the spring of 1899 rel
ative in another county read of case
very similar to Mr.. Pennell's which had
been cured by Pink Pills, and sent the ar
ticle to him, asking if it did not suit his
case. 1t was very similar and he deter
mined to try them. He commenced tax
ing Pink Pills and soon felt better, the
pains became less violent with longer in
tervals between them. He felt encouraged
and persevered in their use and soon be-
came able to work on the farm, and in
April or May he felt so free from pain
that he considered himself well man
again. He says he has probably taken
twenty boxes and able to do as good
days work as any other man, and we can
say that he looks hale and hearty man
who never had known sickness.
Mr.. Pennell keeps box of the pills in
his home and whenever he feels a pain or
little unwell he takes pill or two and
is soon all right again. He says they
will cure headache for him in two min
utes. He says he doesn't know what Pink
Pills will do for others but he does know
that they have cured him of what physi
clans said was sciatic rheumatism when
three doctors had failed to do him any
permanent good. Some or his neighbOrs
also he says, have been greatly benefited
by using Pink Pills, and one says he can
not afford to keep box in the house as
his whole family want to take them on all
occasions as they make them feel SO much
better, and they cannot even feel sleepy
in the morning without wanting to take
q Pink Pill for it.
An analysis of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
shows that they are an unfailing specific
for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, par
tial paralysis, st. Vitus' dance, sciatic,
neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache
the after effects of all grippe, palpitation
ofthe heart, pale and sallow compilations,
all forms of weakness either in male or
female. Pink Pills are sold by all dealers,
or will be sent postpaid on receipt of
price, $50 cents box or boxes for SO. so
they are never sold in bulk or by the
1907 by addressing DR.. Williams Medi-
cine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
