, The Patient Was Finally Restored, Alter
Eighteen Years.
From The ECening Netcs Ne,odrk, N. j.
About eighteen years ago, when Mrs. An
ME Dale, Of s3 Bruce street, was a bright,
merry school girl, she was taken ill with
scarlet fover. She recovered. but she was a
very different girl from physical stand
point She was cured OF the scarlet fever,
but it left her with an affection OF the back.
As she grew older the pain seemed to in.
crease. Her sufferings were intensified by
her household duties, but she never COM
planned, and with one hand pressed tightly
to her back she did her work about her cozy
home.
II was fourteen years old when was at
tackled with scarlet fever, and have now
suffered with my back for eighteen years.
"Night and day 1 suffered. 1t really
seemed as II l must succumb to the pain,
and then to make matters worse, my head
ached so badly that / could scarcely see, at
times. Finally went to st. Michaels Hos.
pital, at the corner of High street and Gen.
trail avenue, and there the surgeons per-
formed n difficult operation on my back, but
1t did no good it was like everything else
l was told at the hospital to return for an
other operation. but the first had left me so
weak l could not go back. Then again
dren needed my attention aud care at home.
The pain became harder to stand and my
back was almost broken, it seemed. I
though l would never know what it would
be like to be well again when l was told to
try DR.. Williams Pink Pills. With many
doubts, a faint heart, and an aching back, I
went to get the pills. and little dreaming
that they would prove the elixir of n new
life to me, began to take them. Only q
short time elapsed before | began to i'm
prove. Could 1t be possible that DR.. Will
iams' Pink Pills were doing what every
thing else had failed to accomplish? |
asked myself the question many times and
before long l was enabled by my improved
condition to answer the query with an en-
phatic Yes Now the pain of almost twenty
years is cured by these Pink Pills in few
months. l have no pain of any kind now,
but have got some OF DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. and while do NOT
think 1t will ever be necessary to use them
again, shall certainly never be without
them in tho house"
