From the Journal, Kirksviue, Mo.
Henry Gehrke is a thrifty and prosperous
German farmer living four miles south of
Bullion, in this (Adair) county, Mo. Mr..
Gehrke has a valuable farm and he has been
a resident of the county for years. He is
very we'll known hereabouts and well re-
spected wherever he is known. Last week q
reporter of the Journal stopped at Mr..
Gehrke's and while there became much in
terested in Mrs. Gehrke's account Of the
benefit she had not long since experienced
from the use of DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. She said she wanted every
body to know what q great medicine these
pills are, but as SO many people are prais-
ing them nowadays, she modestly doubted
whether her testimony could add anything
to what others had already said of them.
Her only reason for talking for publication
about Pink Pills was that the people of
Adair and n~eighboring counties might be
convinced, if any doubted, that oft-pub-
lished testimonials concerning Pink Pills
were genuine statements from the lips Of per-
sons who have been benefited by the use OF
them. Speaking of her OWL interesting ex-
perience, Mrs. Gehrke said:
"A little over q year ago was completely
broken down. I had been taking medicine
from a doctor but grew worse and worse un.

body would cause me to have smothering

everything else had failed TO relieve me and
I had given up all hopes of ever being any.
