From, the Banner. Busssv. Lo,oa.
The great frequency with which our at
tention has been attracted to certain arti-
cles. which generally 20 the rounds of all
the leading newspapers, has caused us to
wonder and s~peculatc,a great deal as to
why none of these things ever happened
to occur nearer home, and finally our in
terest and wonder grew to such a pitch
thai. knowing a certain lady in Busscy to
be a regular purchaser of Pink Pills for
something over w years, by eason of
the fact that she had also induced our
" wife to give it a trial. with very ben
eficial results, we a. last determined to
put the matter to the test and see if this
lady could put aside her natural repug-
nance to appearing so prominently in print
IN order to encourage people generally
to the greater use of her favorite remedy.
by giving her testimonial for publication
in her home paper. where those who read
would know that it was no hoax fixed up
merely to catch the unwary and credulous.
With this object in view, we called on
Tuesday afternoon on Anna Elliott, wife
OF our esteemed townsman, w. A. Elliott,
proprietor of the Commercial Hotel, the
leading hostelry of Bnssey. Iowa. Mrs.
Elliott is a lady well known for the ability
and tact displayed in the management of
the interior arrangements and affairs of
the hotel, and the wonder has always
been with those who have observed the
amount of care and exertion required on
her part, as to how she ever managed to
keep up SO well under the strain. and we
give the sequel in her own words:
Il have been %landlady of the CONNER
cial House now for nearly six years, and
for q long time "a hardly able to get
along with the work at all, being always
out Of sorts, affected by pains in the head,
dizziness and general weakness and ner-
vousness. always feeling overworked and
hardly able to drag myself around from
morning till night, often nearly wishing
thu. l were dead.
IF things had gone on much longer in
this way / would certainly have broken
down entirely and had to give up my
work. but, luckily, just at this j%uncture. l
happened to read an article about DR..
which seemed to cover the symptoms OF
my case exactly, and l sent direct to the
DR.. Williams Medicine Company, at
Schenectady, n. Y, and procured two
trial boxes. These did me 20 much good
and l felt SO much encouraged that l sent
for a $3.50 package, and have always
taken good care to keep a supply of them
on hand. since, in over two years now.
'"Their continued use put me OF my feet
completely, as the saying is, and l have
felt stronger and better able to do my
work and see to things about the hotel
than l ever was in my life before, and
Pink Pills nave become the standard rem
edy in our family for every i'll arising
from debility of AIRY kind.
zone member of our family has been
completely cured of a very bad and long
standing case of kidney trouble, while a
number of the n%eighbors who have tried
them speak highly in the praise of this
remedy. and declare that there is no other
medicine that can possibly supply its
place"
Those who know Mrs. Elliott know full
well that she would not be willing to au-
thorize the publication of the above state
menr without every word of it being strict
ly true, but to prove conclusiyely to any
strangers who may read this article that
it is every word ''as true as gospel" she
subscribes to the following affidavit, in
the hope that her fellow beings who suffer
as she did may be convinced of the Won
derful merits of Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie, and thereby be led to obtain relief
through giving them a prompt and thor.
ough trial.
