ALMOST PARALYZED.
Intense Suffering for Years.
The Remarkable Testimony of a Hus-
band and Wife the Virtues OF
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People.
From the Wdye. Odeu, Nebraska

the great faith Mr. and Mrs. !. O. Brace, of
Odell, Nebraska, have in the curative prop
critics of DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People determined to see the parties in
person and ascertain the truth of the re-
ports.
With that purpose in view a drive was
taken to their fine farm few miles west OF
town, where Mrs. Brace was found bus1ly
engaged in assisting her husband make
wire fence. No doubt noticing our surprise
she apologized saying that the children
were old enough to be of much help with
the homework and she thus had time to as
sist her husband which not only gave her
wages that would otherwise go to pay hired
help"
''But is it possible that you have recover
ed so as to do work requiring the constant
use of your arms, without Sufferinga" asked
tie reporter.
This question elected the following won
derful story: II do not wonder that you
one in this vicinity knows for several years
was nearly crippled and suffered constant
ly from rheumatism. When I first felt the
attack got medicine from local physician
but instead of getting better I grew worse
until 1 suffered intense agony, which one
who has not had the dread disease can IN
derstand. In hopes of relief leading physi-
clans in other towns were consulted, and
they all agreed In pronounclng it a severe
case of muscular rheumatism and as their
prescriptions were taken month after
month without beneficial results they
ceased to give encouragement and said that
was gradually becoming paralyzed.
81 had by tnat time become SO crippled
that had to give up all work and the only
way could carry my right arm was in an
upright position. Any attempt to lower it
| caused excruciating pain. Constant suffer
ing caused general debility and life seemed
too great a burden to bear. 1t is said a
drowning man will catch at straw and so
| it was in my case as I read a testimonial in
a newspaper 1 happened to pick up, of a
case similar to mine which had been cured
| by Pink Pills for Pale People and deter
mined to give them a trial.
| 81 admit my faith was weak for had al
ways been prejudiced against SO called
patent medicines but by the time I had
taken three boxes the relief was SO apparent
| that determined to continue their use. In
few weeks my general health improved
and could move my arm without difficulty
and by the time ten boxes had been used I
| felt better than I had for years and can
now say with confidence that am cured. I
always keep the pills in the house and take
a box of them every spring as blood puri-
fer and at any time that I take cold and
fear return of my old trouble
Continuing, Mrs. Brace said, 81 give all
the credit CT my recovery to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and botn my
husband and I shall always be ready to
speak in their praise. We tell our neigh,
| If you think this of sufficient interest we
will be glad to have this testimonial made
public hoping that it may be Of benefit to
| those who otherwise would be life long Suf-
| ferers.''
To confirm her story beyond all doubt

oath saith that the foregoing statement is
