The bicycle brought grief and sickness to
the happy family Of Hodgkinsons Of this
city four years ago. Death nearly followed
the disaster. Then came DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People like veritable bless
Ing straight from heaven to save the life o.
Mrs. Alice Hodgkinson, the wife Of John q.
Hodginson. The Hodgkinsons are an es-
Unable English family who have lived for
some years past in prettily situated homs
at 800 North st. Paul street, Rochester, N.
Y. Not only the neighborhood but the
whole northern section Of the city is aware
Of the wonderful cure effected in this re-
markable case.
It Is about four years ago this month that
Mrs. Hodgkinson was run down by bicy-
clist one afternoon while walking along the
sidewalks on Central avenue. The careless
cyclist was pedaling along the sidewalk at
full speed and struck her in the back. Mrs.
Hodgkinson was knocked down and rem
dered unconscious. The cyclist fell, too, but
hastily scambling to his feet he rode hur-
riedly away and was never discovered.
For nearly two months Mrs. Hodgkinson
was confined to her bed. When at last she
was able to sit up, she was but wreck Of
her former SELF. pain, most severe and
excruciating coursed up and down her back
at all times Of the day and night. The left
side Of the back from the shoulder blade to
the hip was particularly affected. In all,
five physicians, two OF them noted special
lists, were consulted. For over a year the
doctors were constant visitors at the Hodg-
hnson residence. One physician said that
Mrs. Hodgkinson was suffering from spinal
| tuberculosis, another called the disease neu-
ralgia Of the spinal nerves. Not one OF them
| could help the unfortunate woman. Mrs.
Hodgkinson declined until she weighed less
| than 80 pounds. Her life was despajred o1
by all who knew her.
After the poor woman had suffered fol
nearly two years she had Dr.. Williams Pink
| Pills recommended to her by her son who

sent to Dakes, on East Main Street, for the
Pink Pills one Saturday night. The direc-
| tions were followed and the patient was
| watched carefully throughout the Sabbath.
| Favorable symptoms did not begin to mani
lest themselves until the succeeding day.
Then the pain left Mrs. Hodghnson, and
though very weak she began to mend.
Within week the improvement was most
marKed. By the time she had taken six
boxes Of DR.. Williams wonderful remedy
she was well woman. the picture OF health.
Mrs. Hodgknson has increased In weight
until she tips the scales at l23 pounds. The
| 10y Of living has in every sense returned to
her. She has a good appetite and Is able to
take an interest and part IN the daily LIE
OF her home.

Gently, that lady remarked to a reporter:
