People his entire recovery from a serious
stomach trouble. For three years he was
sadly afflicted, miserable, and unable to
enjoy, or even keep on his stomach, the food
which he ate. Mr.. Bliley tried the first box
to please friend, with little hope of bene-
fit, but the second box and each of the sew
en- boxes, which he afterward took, he used
because of the wonderful help derived from
the trial box Pink Pills did all and more
for him than even his enthusiastic friend had
hoped The story we give in Mr.. Bliley's
own words. He said:
About three years ago began to have
serious trouble with my stomach / could
not enjoy my IL eals, and usually my stomach
threw off the undigested food and much
water after had eaten. tried a number
OF treatments My regular physician gave
me medicine and took a quantity of pat
ent medicines, all to no purpose. took
Ayers Sarsaparilla until / was satisfied
that it did me no good, and think bought
$50 worth of different sarsaparillas,
besides taking a catarrh cure for a long
time. None of them benefited me, and
was discouraged, as was constantly grow
ing worse. While my physician was max
ing regular visits was called upon by q
friend, who asked me if ! had ever tried
DR.. Williams Pink Pills. told him I had
never heard of them. He begged me to
give them trial. / was timid, for / had
taken so many nostrums, as they proved
themselves to be, and did not care to throw
away any more money on them, to say
nothing of the harm they might do me
He insisted that should try them, however,
and even took me by the arm and walked
me down to the nearest drug store, where
purchased a box to please him.

dition after using the first box. After

what cured me. When she found out she
