A Reporters Interesting Interview
With Lady Of Seventy-two Years,
Who Tells a Marvellous Story.
From the Union, Port Jarvis, n. Y.
But a short time ago, in distant
part of the county, we heard of a
cure py the use of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, which seemed almost
marvellous, and more recently an
other substantial evidence of their
value reached our ears. Being OF an
enquiring 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 we'll
to know it.
The person alluded to above as
having been thus greatly benefited
by the use of Pink Pills is Mrs. Jane
Hotalen, of Hainesville, n. J., pleas
ant 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 pleas
ant faced old lady, looking to be
about sixty-fye, but is in reality
seventy-two years of age. After a
few preliminary remarks in explana-
ton 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.
s.Not at ALL" said she. eff my ex-
perience can be of any good to others,
I am sure they are welcome to 1T
can do me no harm"
"When were you taken sick and
what was the nature of the malady?'
was asked.
ait was about two years ago. The
trouble was rheumatic in character
and it was very painful indeed. The
difficulty began in my hip and ex'
tended the whole length of the limb,
crippling me completely. I suffered
intensely from it, and the ordinary
treatment gave me not the
slightest alienation. I was un,
der treatment about a month as
as stated but grew worse instead ot
better, and was fest becoming dis,
couraged."
"What brought Pink Pills to youl
notice?"
my son called my attention tc
an article in paper, in which it was
stated that Mr.. Struble, of Branch
Vile, a village in this county had beer
greatly benefited by their use, and
suggested that it would be a goo6
plan to try them. But I was skepti
cal in regard to their value-in fact
I had no confidence in their efficacy
and rather laughed at the suggestion
But the trouble increased and | was
body crippled. A few days later my
son was about to visit a neighborine
town and suggested again that ii
might be we'll to try this much
talked of remedy, and I consented
He bought me box of them ard
began taking them at once. At the
end of a week I noted a marked i'm
provement, and by the time [ hac
taken the first box I was able to wall
without a cane. I continued theil
ase, taking several boxes, and an, a:
you see, in very comfortable state
Of health"
"Have you had any return Of th'
trouble?"
"Not as yet, though at my time O.
life, seventy two. it would not be sur
prising if I should have. If it comes
should at once begin the use OF th'
pills. I suppose I inherit tendenc.
to troubles of this kind-my mother
died from them"
did you ever note any i'll effect!
from the use of Pink Pills."
..None whatever. They never dis
turbed my stomach in any way ol
caused me any annoyance. Neither
