From the Star, Washington, D. G.
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills miracu-
lously cured me of two diseases and
have otherwise done me a vast
amount of good, said Mrs. Z. A.
Meeker, of No. POT Third Street,
Southeast Washington, D. c., to
Star reporter to day.
'For many years I was sufferer
from muscular rheumatism IN its
worst form, and in addition had
stomach trouble to such an extent
that for long tine I could eat moth
ing stronger than beef peptonoids.
The rheumatism commenced in my
back and not only extended into my
left arm, almost paralyzing it from
the shoulder to the elbow, but at
tackled my hips and limbs with such
vehemence that it was impossible for
NE to go out on the street without
being supported by an attendant.
81 was attended by four different
physicians-not all at one time-of
both the allopathic schools, and there
were times when I was covered from
my neck to my feet with porous OF
some other kind of plasters, for l
tried every thing Of the sort that was
recommended by my friends.
During the greater part OF this
time my husband and son were urg-
ing me to take Dr.. Williams Pink
Pills but steadily refused to do so.
'About two years or two and a
half years ago, the physician who was
then attending me, and I have had
none since, said to me, Mrs. Meeker
there is no use for me 10 come and
see you any more, you have muscular
rheumatism, disease incident to old
age, and you cannot be cured. I vii
give you some, iron for your blood,
and when this prescription runs out
you can get it renewed. If you get
much worse you can send for me
bat will not again call until I am
summoned
eOE course. I was much discour-
aged, but still tried a noted massage
treatment thoroughly, but without
the slightest effect. At last my hus-
band persuaded me to try the Pink
Pills.
Il want to say that when I began
taking the Pink Pills it was without
the least faith in their efficacy for
good or belief that they would benefit
me, but simply to please my husband
and son by taking something. How
ever, I took them as directed by the
makers, and about the end Of the
month I found to my great surprise
that my stomach was so much better
that had 10 longer to subsist on
beef peptonoids, but could begin to
indulge in more solid food.
80 I told my husband that as the
Pink Pills we're evidently doing NE
good, I would try them for another
month.
81 continued to use them as direc-
ted and during the second month my
eyesight, which had been very bad
for a long time began to improve, and
it was much more pleasant fer me to
go on the street, though I still had
to be attended on account Of my weak
limbs. How many boxes of the
Pink Pills | took in all I could not
begin to tell as there were periods
when I would stop using them for a
week at a time. But from the time
I commenced until I felt I could
safely cease taking them was about
fifteen months.
Sometime after my eyesight began
to grow better, memory, which had
been defective and caused me much
trouble for long time, returned and
became as good as when was many
years younger. During the period
to which 1 refer I had great difficulty
in remembering where I had put
anything, but as said before, this
trouble entirely disappeared and has
never returned, while my eyesight
also continues excellent.
My long continued illness had
reduced my weight from between l30
and 40 pounds to l12 pounds, but
while I was taking the Pink Pills I
gained 80 pounds, and I now weigh
138 pounds.
Some of my friends freely asserted
that my flesh, as they noticed my IN
creasing weight, was not solid and
predicted that I would speedily lose
it. Such, however, has not been the
case, although have not taken any
of the DiIls since last December. All
