ATHOROUGH INVESTIGATION
ASTONISHING FACTS BROUGHT
TO LIGHT BY A NEWSPAPER
REPORTER.

Prominent Citizens C~orroborate vari-
ous Statements Made Druggists
Also MISUNDERSTANDING T~estimoni-
ais as to the Cures Effected by the
Pale People.
From the Herald, Clinton, Io,oa.
Fol the purpose of thoroughly investi-
eating the merits of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, which have been so widely advertised,
a reporter was detailed to visit three
towns, taken at random, between Clinton
AND Cedar Rapids. Clarence, Stanwood
and Mechanicsville were the places Sc
lected and thither our representative went.
Clarence is a village of seven or eight
hundred people, with two drug stores, run
respectively by Geo. e. Smith and w. H.
Blair. Both of these gentlemen spoke en-
Enthusiastically of the PM Pills. Mr.. Blair
said he handled them extensively, that
they had become a staple article of trade
among druggists, and now he would as
soon think of conducting a drug business
without quinine as PM Pills. He then
asked if the Herald man had called on
Mrs. Curley, and recommended him so to
do, as hers was looked upon in Clarence
as a most remarkable case of recovery
from advanced stomach trouble. Mrs. Cur
ley told her story briefly as follows:
~ year ago the UOcUOrS gave HE up 10
die, with disease of stomach, and / was
very near death. While / was very low a
friend persuaded me to try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, though l had very little faith
in them. After using part of a box want
ed to give it up, but my people made me
keep on, and before | had used up the
fourth box / was cured"
Mrs. Peter Gortner is another who has
been greatly helped by the Pink Pills. Mr..
Gortner is a retired farmer, and he and
his wife occupy a pretty cottage In the
southern part of the town. Mrs. Gortner
said: while my case is not as wonderful
as tina of Mrs. Curley, / think and know
indeed thai Pink Pills have cured me no
less truly. My nerves were weak for many
years, and / suffered greatly as a result.
Something like a year ago l was affected
with stomach trouble, largely dependent,
i think, upon the condition of my nervous
system. Hearing of the cure in Mrs. Cur
,ley's case, | consulted her, and on her ad-
vice tried the Pink Pills. They have cured
me. My stomach no longer troubles me,
and my nervous system is restored. We
always keep them on hand, now, and my
husband and use them whenever we are
threatened with any trouble of this sort. l
recommend DIR. Williams remedy when
ever l nave opportunity. Mrs. Laura
Nicely is one of my friends who has used
the pills with particularly good results"
Mrs. Nicely was visited. Her story was
very similar to that of Mrs. Gortner. Her
nervous system had been almost shatter-
ed. she was threatened indeed with spinal
meningitis. Pink Pills had relieved and
strengthened her. She told of several 9TH
er cases within her circle of acquaintance
where the pills had been used, and in every
case speedy relief and cure followed.
At Mechanicsville, the reporter found
only additional testimony as to the merits
of Pink Pills. The proprietor of the Pal
~ lr,r ltnmnonv QCSnrQd him that no
proprietary medicine had a greater sale
than this. This company buys the pills in
wholesale quantities. &. b. Gould also
sells large quantities of the medicine. Both
druggists told of many cases in which the
remedy had been very successful. Among
these cases was that of Michael Zerbe, a
retired farmer, living in the village. The
case was one of rheumatism, and was
cured by one box of the pills.
Mr.. Zerbe himself said: 81 was in bad
shape with rheumatism in the spring. /
was induced by a friend to try DR.. Will
Jams Pink Pills. One box relieved me,
took the disease out of my blood, and in
fact cured me. / am now as well as ever"
The visitor found Mr.. Zerbe at work about
his home, and he seemed the picture of
rugged health, despite the fact that he as
sured the reporter that he had been but a
few months before bent and bowed with
rheumatism.
The results of the experiment cannot
be regarded as anything less thar mar
velous. OF those visited not one refused
to recommend heartily the pills, and
everyone could suggest many others whom
the reporter was unable to visit, but whom
he was assured were just as well satisfied
as to their merits and just as enthusiastic
in their praise.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
dealers, or will be sent postpaid on receipt
of price, so cents q box, or six boxes for
$3.50 they are never sold in bulk or by
