From the Examiner, San Francisco, Cal.

Four years ago, at the time of the trouble
between the United States and Chill, as a
result of the killing of the sailors of the u.
S. s. Baltimore, in the streets of Chilian
city, many Americans were obliged to leave
the country for safety. Among them was
w. M. Lugg, the private detective and col.
lector, whose Office is in the Croker Build
ing, San Francisco, Cal.
When Mr. Lugg left Chill he went across
the mountains into Argentine, travelling on
muleback.
Mr.. Lugg says that the trip is delightful
one in point of beautiful scenery and perfect
weather, but many people dislike to under
take it on account of the unhealthful stag
nant water which they are compelled to
drink along the way. Many persons have
been stricken down with disease from hav.
ing drank of it, and in number of cases
the attacks have proven fatal. The native

those who are not used to it.
Il fell victim to the injurious qualities
of the water" said Mr.. Lugg. I" 1t affected
my kidneys to an alarming degree. When
| got over into Argentine I thought the trou.
BILE would gradually leave me, but instead
OF that it grew more aggravated and / suf-
fered terribly from pains in the region of my
kidneys. l was en- route to Chicago and I
the complaint should grow so serious asl to
confne me to my bed. Upon reaching
Chicago at once consulted physician, who
told me my kidneys had been affected by
drinking polluted water. He treated me for
some time for that complaint, but 1 grew
steadily worse and new ailments were added
to my already serious condition. began to
have neuralgia pains in my head, my spine
was affected with shooting pains and had

lay awake many night suffering the most
intense pains, and the physician unable to
relieve them.
" But relief came at last. One day one of
my friends came to my room and handed me
box of Williams Pink Pills. Of course l
laughed at him for daring to think that any
patent medicine could aid me when my
physician had failed. took the pills, how
ever, to oblige my friend more than for any
faith | had in them, and / was treated to the
most joyous surprise of my life when I real.
lied that ! was being relieved of my pains.
First the peculiar pains along my spine
ceased, and then my neuralgia trouble be-
gan to grow less and finally left me entirely.
1t took a good while to improve the con.
dition of my kidneys, but after had taken
a number of boxes of the pills l knew that
they had done their work successfully, for
organs and the action of my kidneys was
strong and steady.
"When I thought was out of all danger
quit taking the pills. The relief they had
afforded was permanent, however, and
have never since felt a recurrence of the
complaints. l hardly know how to praise
Williams Pink Pills as they should be
praised. They certainly are wonderful
preparation. have recommended them to
a number of my friends who were suffering
from kidney complaints, and they have all
been benefited by their use."
