From the Journal. Kirksuiils, Ao.
Henry Gehrke is 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 well known hereabouts and well re-
spected wherever he is known. Last week
a 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 DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. She said she wanted every
body to know what a great medicine these
pills are, but as so many people are praislng
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 neighboring counties might be
convinced, If any doubted, that oft-published
testimonials concerning Pink Pills were
genuine statements from the lips of persons
who have been benefited by the use of them.
Speaking of her own Interesting experience,
Mrs. Gehrke said:
"a little over year ago was completely
broken down. had been taking medicine
from doctor but grew worse and worse
until could scarcely go about at all. The
least exertion or the mere bending Of my
body would cause me to have smothering
spells, and the suffering was terrible.
thought it was caused by my heart. When
everything else had failed to relieve me and
had given up all hopes OF ever being any
thing but helpless invalid, / CHANGED to
read some testimonials in the Farm, Field
and Fnesids, also in the Chicago Htcy-Ocean,
and the sufferings OF the people who made
the statements were so nearly like the SUI
fering had endured that when read that
