Henry Gehrke is.a thrifty and prosperous
German farmer living four miles south of
Bullion, in this (Adair) county, Mo. Mr..
Gehrke has a valuable farm and he has been
a resident of the county for years. He is
very we'll known hereabouts and well re-
spected wherever he is known. Last week
reporter of the journal stopped at Mr..
Gehrke's and while there became much in
terested in Mrs. Gehrke's account of the
benefit she had not long since experienced
from the use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. She said she wanted every
body to know what a great medicine these
pills are, but as SO many people are prais.
ing them nowadays, she modestly doubted
to what others had already said of them.
Her only reason for talking fo- publication
about Pink Pills was that the people Of
Adair and n~eighboripg counties might be
convinced, if any doubted, that oft-pub-
lished testimonials concerning Pink Pills
were genuine statements from the lips of per-
sons who nave been benefited by the use of
them. Speaking of her own interesting cx-
perience, Mrs. Gehrke said:
"A little over a year ago I was completely
broken down. I had been taking medicine
from a doctor but grew worse and worse un-
til l could scarcely go about at all. The
least e~xertion or the mere bending OF my
body would cause me to have smothering
spells, and the suffering was terrible. l
thought it was caused by my heart. When
everything else had failed to relieve me and
l had given up all hopes of ever being any
thing but q helpless invalid, | Glanced to
read some testimonials in the Farm, Field
and Fireside, also in the Chicago Inter- Ocean
and the suffering of the people who made
the statements were SO nearly like the suf-
fering l had endured that when i read that
they were so greatly benefited by the use OF
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
~ did not hesitate to go at once and pur-
chase two boxes. l took them according to
directions and before the first box was used
| felt a good bit better. Really the first dose
convinced me hat it was a great remedy.
Before the two boxes were used up l sent
my husband after three more boxes, SO !
would not be without them. When | had
used these three boxes | felt like a different
woman and thought l was almost cured.
"Since that time / nave been taking them
whenever / began to feel badly. When l
began taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, / weighed only 113 pounds and
after l had been using the medicine for about
six months l weighed l22 pounds. / have
had a good appetite ever since | commenced
taking Pink Pills and instead of mincing

as if / was helpless child, but l work all
the time, doing the housework and ironing
and working in the garden without that
dreadful feeling which comes over IL person
when they are afraid they are going to have
one of those spells that l used to have.
"Work don hurt me m more. | hon

me much better and the spells are not so fire.
