HEALTH IN OLD AGE.
An Old Lady Finds the True Source
Of Vitality.
A Reporters Interesting Interview with q
Lady Of Seventy two Years. Who Tells
Marvellous Story.

From the Union. Port Jervis, N. Y.
But short time ago, in distant
part Of the country, we heard of a cure
by the use Of DIR. Williams Pink Pills,
which seemed almost marvellous. and
more recently another substantial evil
dence of their value reached our ears.
Being of an inquiring turn of mind,
and wishing to know just how much
there was in the story, reporter was
sent to interview the person said to be
thus benefited. If the narrative as it
had reached our ears was true, it was
only simple justice to let it be known
if it proved untrue, it would be well to
know it.
The person alluded to above as hav-
ing been thus greatly benefited by the
use Of Pink Pills is Mrs Jane Hotalen,
of Hainesville. N. j.. pleasant hamlet
in Sussex County, about fifteen miles
from this office. The reporter had no
difficulty in finding Mrs. Hotalen. It
was nearly noon when we reached her
pleasant home. double house, one part
of which is occupied by her son. She
is a pleasant-faced old lady. looking to
be about sixty-five. but is in reality
lseventy-two years of age After a few
preliminary remarks in explanation of
the CALL she was asked if she had any
objection to giving us the details of the
case and how she came to try this now
famous remedy.
Not at ALL said she. IF my ex-
porience can be of any good to others.
am sure they are welcome to tit
can do me no HARM
When were you taken sick and what
tho nature Of rho mqIo1V2 ''
asked.
1t was about two years ago. The
trouble was rheumatic in character
scatica, they called it-and it was very
painful indeed The difficulty began in
my hip and extended the whole length
of the limb. Gripping me completely. l
suffered intensely from it. and the or
binary treatment gave me not the
slightest alienation. l was under
treatment about month as stated. but
grew worse instead of better and was
fast becoming discouraged.
What brought Pink Pills to your
notice.
Ny son called my attention to an
article in paper in which it was
stated that Mr.. Struble, of Branch
Vile. village in this county. had been
greatly benefited by their use. and
suggested that it would be a good plan
to try them. But | was skeptical in re-
gard to their value-in fact. ! had no
confidence in their efficacy and rather
laughed at the suggestion. But the
trouble increased and | was badly Grip
pied A few days later my son was
about to visit neighooring town and
suggested again that it might be well
to try this much talked- of remedy. and
then consented. He bought me a box
OF them and | began taking them at
o-ce. At the end of a week I noted u
marked improvement, and by the time
l had taken the first box l was able to
walk without cane. l continued their
use, taking several boxes, and am. as
you see in a very comfortable state Of
health"
Have you had any return of the
tIouble?"
Not as yet, though at my time of
life, seventy-two, it would not be sur
prising if l should have. If it comes. |
should at once begin the use of the
pills. / suppose l inherit a tendency to
troubles of this kind-my mother died
from them
Did you ever note any i'll effects
from the use of Pink Pills."
None whatever. They never dis
turbed my stomach in any way or
caused me any annoyance. Neither
did l find it necessary to increase the
dose, as the directions say may be de-
