The Pace That Kills.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.


From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The American people live too fast
eat too fast and drink too fast. This
has brought upon many Of us u train Of
nervous and stomach disorders that are
very difficult to manage. Investigation
and chemical analysis to discover such
compounds as win help those suffering
from such Ills has resulted in the dis
covery OF DIR. Williams Pink PITS for
Pale People. which has taken very nigh
rank as II specific remedy.
II. l.. Owens. a travelling man thirty
years of age, who is well known in this
community and generally liked because
he is II bright, energetic young Fellow,
resides with his mother at 335 Central
Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio. He has been
n victim of dyspepsia which took the
form of continuous constipation. and.
strangely enough. his mother suffered
from the same trouble Mr.. Owens
testified to the merits of Pink Pills in a
most enthusiastic way, and said to the
Enquirer reporter:
II am glad to say anything l can for
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, because they
did me great good and other people
ought to know of their virtues as a
medicine in stomach troubles. il was
some time ago when felt heavy feel
ing in my stomach and | grew very con-
stpated. / did not consult a doctor.
but having heard of the Pink Pills /
bought a box of them. In two or three
days the heavy feeling in my stomach
disappeared and my bowels We're
regular. | did not have to use more
| han hay nf thpn, 1 we'll
Since that time have only occasionally
been troubled with constipation and l

what to do. Mother was also troubled
with indigestion and the Pink pills did
the same for her they did for me-cured
her. didn't they MOTHER
When appealed to Mrs. Owens an
swered: That is right. | found that it
was n great medicine. 50 easy to take
and SO quick and lasting in its results. :"
Mr.. Owens continued: Il believe that
these pills are also good for nervous
ness. When l had my stomach trouble
| was also quite nervous and that dis
appeared with the dyspepsia. The Pink
Pills were all that is claimed for them.
You can make any use Of this testi-
monial that you see fit"
Fl. p. owens has occupied several
positions of trust in this city. He was
for a time an employe of the Com
mercial-Gazette He will go on the
road in few days for a prominent
business house here. Mrs. Owens Is
quite as enthusiastic as her son about
the Pink Pills. and her host of lady
friends can verify her good opinion OF
this wonderful remedy If they feel dis
posed to do so at any time. Where the
testimony is SO general and unanimous
as to the excellencies OF Pink Pills as
the Enquirer has found II to be there Is
certainly good reason to believe all the
good things said-about the safe and
simple remedy.
