my address is the Bull Block, Louisville.
KY, and I am the man you have heard of
as so persistently and so enthusiastically
proclaiming the merits of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People"
Sup to the first of last March I can truth
fully say that for twenty years l had suf-
fered all the agonies of an inferno, and
death would have at times been a welcome
visitor. 1had muse ular rheumatism in its
most vicious form, supplemented by what
the doctors called tuberculosis of the bones.
l was almost constantly under the treat
ment of a physician ard spent a considerable
portion of my time in the hospital. In 1898
I spent three months in that institution
where l under went severe surgical opera
tons for relief. Almost oil the money ]
could raise from whatever source went for
medicines in one way o. another. Iwould
try any and every remedy that was sug-
gested, but I finally concluded that the doc
tors were right in saying there was no
cure for such a case as mine: My right leg
became rigid and stiff, the joints reiusingto
perform their functions in any degree. AT
length the pains attacked my left leg also,
n 1t was fast becoming as bad as the
other. 1also suffered in the shoulders and
arms, though not so badly as in the lower
limbs.
"About the first of March last, I read an
article on Pink Pills, and while verydubious
as to the result, I concluded TO give them a
trial. l used n box without deriving any
benefits as l could see, and was about TO
abandon them when, at the urgent s~olicita-
ton of my wife, / concluded to try one more
box ANYHOW. Before the second box was
up, 1 thought 1 could experience some
hit improvement in my condition. Like
owning man l speedily grasped at that
straw of hope. l ordered other boxes
continued the systematic use of the
as directed, my improvement, frt Il
beginning of the third box, being most
fked and rapid. The rigidity anG stiff
soon began to disappear from my leg,
excruciating pains became gradually
my dropping spirits revived under the
larating prospect of getting well, and
re a great while l was able to go to
K. 1have not yet discontinued thepills.
We just ordered the sixth box, which 1
K will be the last. 1feel that i owe my
to this extraordinary preparation, for /
t see how L could have lived under the
ost incessant torture l was enduring. 1t
lot strange, under h circumstances,
I should lose no opportunity to tell my
nds about this remedy and to urge upon
lff1icted as l was, to give it a trial"
