the Office of School Director in District No.
Z, Indianields township and il, well known
throughout the county, "my brother and /

ness then, and we located in the pines here
with nothing but our hands to carve out our
homes. Ii was an unequal struggle; but
hard work and economy won the day and
two years ago, with my forty acres nearly
clear of debt, | began 10 feel that the worst
was over. In April Of that spring | was as
slsting in driving logs down the Cass River,

pain in the left side below the heart. As
days passed the trouble increased; my appe-
tIte fell away and | visited one of the best
known and most successful doctors in Caro-,
the county seat. / was informed that had
an inward abscess and must cease work.

well that it only meant another mortgage
on my little farm, but within few days /
was obliged TO return to my home. The
medicine furnished by the doctor gave me
slight relief but | could detect no perma-

could not sleep, and each day iNund me
growing weaker. | next visited d A. L.
Seeley, of Mayville, who, from the first, said
that he had but slight hopes of benefting me
With no money this ] could not do, even
though it would save my life, and with
medicine that the doctor furnished l re-
turned to my home feeling that the last ray

months which l passed that summer-and

passed until another seven days had been
added to the awful days of torture; and still
no relief, and my weight was now 40
pounds, nerves shattered and my system in
deplorable condition. AT this juncture my
wife said that something must be done, and
with assistance l was taken to Mayville,
where DR.. Seeley was again consulted. After
making thorough examination my wife
earnestly pleaded that he do something for
me. He said that he could do nothing; re-
lief might be found at sanitarium, but
otherwise he would give me just one more
month to live. SorroWfully she turned from
the physicians door, and what considered
my last journey home was soon TO be under
taken. | had read in the Caro- Democrat of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
and the benefits many had received from
them, and with faith less than the grain of
mustard Seed asked her to step into the
drug store and secure a box. This she did,
and after jolting ride over poor road we
finally reached home, tired, worn and in

famed into flame. But my father,and
many Of my neighbors shook their heads
and said: Simply something quoting about
those pills; twill be back again, look out
for the after effects But here are the after
effects, said Mr. Underwood standing erect
the picture of health and weighing 1866
pounds. From the second day after getting
the pills the change set in could deep,
my appetite came back, and before had
finished the third box of DR.. Williams Pink
