TRUTH OR FICTION?
THE QUESTION WHICH WOR-
RED THE MIND OF THE
BANNER SCRIBE.

Proven Undoubtedly True by Practical
Test Applied Locally to one of Bussey's
Best known and Respected Ladies-A
Strange story Easily Verified Right
Here ut Home Proves that Testimo-
mails, are not Fakes-Mrs. Elliott's story
n Cfincher.
From the Banner, Bussey, Iowa.
The great frequency with which our at
tention has been attracted to certain artl-
cles, which generally go the rounds OF all
the leading newspapers, has caused us 10
wonder end speculate great deal as TO
why none of these things never happened
TO occur nearer home and finally our inter-
est and wonder grew To such pitch that
knowing certain lady in Bussey to be
regular purchaser of Pink Pills for some
thing over two years, by reason OF the tact
that she had also induced our own wife TO
give it a trial, with very beneficial results,
we at last determined to put the matter to
the test and see if this lady could put aside
her natural repugnance to appearing so
prominently in print in order to encourage
people generally to the greater use of her
favorite remedy, by giving her testimonial
IOT III ucl "ASAS
those who read would know that it was no
hoax fixed up merely to catch the unwary
and creduious.
With this object in view, we called on
Tuesday afternoon on Anna Elliott, wife of
our esteemed townsman, w. A. Elliott,
proprietor of the Commercial Hotel. the
leading hosiery of Bussey, Iowa, and we
give the story in her own words:
II have been landlady of the Commercial
House now for nearly six years, and for a
long time was hardly able to get along with
the work at all, being always out of sorts,
affected by pains in the head, dizziness,
and general weakness and nervousness, al
WAYS feeling over-worked and hardly able
to drag myself around from morning till
night, often nearly wishing that l were
dead.
IF things had gone on much longer in
this way l would certainly have broken
down entirely and had to give up my work,
but, luckily, just at this juncture, hap
pened to read an article about DR.. Will
hams Pink Pills for Pale People, which
seemed to cover the symptoms OF my case
exactly and / sent direct to the DIR. Will
nams' Medicine Company at Schenectady,
N. Y, and procured two trial boxes. These
did me so much good and l felt SO much
encouraged that Isent for $3.50 package
and have always taken good care to keep
supply of them on hand since, in over two
years now.
''Their continued use put me on my fee
completely, as the saying is, and have fell
stronger and better able to do my worl
and see to things about the hotel than
ever was n my life before and Pink Pill
have become the standard remedy in oul
family for every i'll arising from debilit,
Of any kind.
"One member of our family has beer
completely cured of very bad and long
standing case of kidney trouble, while {
number of the neighbors who have tried
them speak highly in the praise of this rem
edy and declare that there is no other med
icine that can possibly supply its place"
Those who know Mrs. Elliott know full
well that she would not be willing TO auth
orize the publication of the above state
ment without every word of i
being strictly true, but to prove con
clusively to any stranger who may rea'
this article that it is every word as true a
gospel she subscribes to the following all
davit in the hope that her fellow beings VIII
suffer as she did may be convinced of tn
wonderful merits of Pink Pills for UPal
People and thereby be led to obtain relic
through giving them a prompt and thor
ough trial.
Subscribed and sworn to before me tn
3rd day of June, A ID. 1896.
