Biggsville, twenty-nine miles west Of
Galesburg, ILL.,, on the line Of the Chi
cago. Burlington and Quincy Railroad, Is
an old, quiet, little town. In earlier days
It was noted as good business point:
1t was here that a representative OF the
Northumberland found Mrs. Rhoda
Talcott. 81 years of age, who told him,
In the presence of her grateful daughter,
Mrs. II. Sloan, the following story. which
10 given as nearly as possible In her own
language:
Eyes, 1t Is with great pleasure that l
can give my testimony to the great value
of DIR. Williams Pink Pills. Over thirty
years ago / was taken with a chill and
erysipelas set In. For sixteen weeks l
was not able to walk n step. The physi-
clans proposed to take off one of my
limbs, but finally decided not to do SO. II
burnt out. After was able to get about
with the use of crutches, every two or
three months erysipelas would set In
again, and suffered intensely from 1t. 1
had a good many different doctors: DR.:
Fitch, of Sheridan, Iowa; DIR. Brown, OF
Chanute, Kan; DIR. Scarft of Burling-
ton, Iowa; DIR. Trembly, of Oakland, Cal;
~. ~ -
tor in Kansas City, but obtained no relief.
and after treatment from all these physi-
clans, instead of getting better, began to
get very much worse. The other limb
broke out in two places with sores about
the size of n silver dollar. could not sleep
rights without the aid of morphine. My
limbs were so badly swollen that could
not put on my shoes or walk a step with
out either having on heavy bandage or u
silk or rubber stocking. About q year ago
l read of and was told by neighbor,
about DIR. Williams Pink Pills. / con-
Guided, as a last resort, to try them, as |
felt certain l could find no other relief.
From the very first after l commenced to
use the pills, / began to improve, and
since that time have not been troubled
at all i would not have done without
the Pink Pills for anything, as they have
most certainly prolonged my life. My
general health is much better than 1t has
been for good many years, and am now
81 years Of age. Have not only used the
Pink Pills with success, but have recon-
mended them to my friends whom l
thought needed such treatment, and sew
eral have tried them and found relief"
Mrs. Sloan said that just before com
mencng to use the Pipk Pills, she thought
her mother could live but O. very short
time, and was most agreeably surprised
after she had given the pills trial.
Mrs. Talcott has made her home with
her daughter for five or six years, and she
can most cheerfully certify to the benefit
her mother has derived from the use of
the medicine.
The reporter also called on Mr.. George
Kelly, the son of one of the prominent
hardware dealers in Biggsville, who has
used the Pink Pills. He was troubled
with pains in the stomach and back and
from the very first he commenced to get
better, and now he is not troubled at all.
John Mckee, the druggist in the village.
stated that he had sold a great many of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and that they
most certainly give the best of satisfaction
and have accomplished great results.
Quite number of the villagers are now
using them.

sary to give new life and richness to the
