The town of Albion, down in Kenne-
beo County, Maine, is one Of those smart
little hamlets which, SO often dot the land
scape of the Pine Tree State If noted
for anything more than another in parti-
cular 1T is the thousands Of cords of pulp
wood which it annually furnishes to feed
tho yawning jaws of the immense pulp
mills which line the shore of the Kenne-
bee Its fine dairy farms and the sturdy
farm wives who make pleasant the snug
and thrifty homes within her borders.
Nestled down among the pine trees IN
tho Southern part of the town is
the quiet farm home of MIR. Leonldas
White. Mr.. Whites home is presided
ever by his daughter, Miss Carrie b.
White, who does the work for the Whoie
family, and this witnout help. IL Is
hard to realize that the young lady,
now SO full of life and energy was but
short ago great sufferer from ln1lan-
matory rheumatism. But here IS the
story in her own words: Gin the fall of
1894, think 1t was Labor day. was tax

Mass. on a visit to my brother who lives
there. / grew so sick that physician
was called in who pronounced it rheum-
attic fever. I was not out of the house for
five weeks. During this time | had to
be moved with the utmost care from the
bed to chair, for the slightest pressure
on my limbs gave me the most t5rrible
pains.

doubt the physicians did the best they
could for me. But the rheumatism still
remained. Finally my brother brought
home box of DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
l had never taken any but my brother
knew OF many cases they had cured and
as he seemed to desire it | began to take
them. | had not taken but a few doses
that my friends marvelled at my rapid i'm

Inflammation had subsidized and l could
walk around the room and use my hands
without any effort. This was the great
est relief to me- for my fingers were
drawn up so I could scarcely hold any
thing in my hands. and it was with the
greatest difficulty 1 could straighten my
arms out. | did not take but one box, as
there seemed to be no need of it. 1 con-
tinued to improve, and when / consider

home in Albion. Since that time have
been what I suppose might be called
we'll woman. I do the entire Homework
Incident to country home. and am out
in.allsskinds of weather. I have not been
troubled with rheumatism at all since I
used the Pink Pills. l regard them as
the best medicine for that disease ever
discovered. Infiammatory rheumatism
has no terrors for me now, for feel suro
that If / should suffer another attack the
Pink Pills would cure me.
81 suppose / have told a great many
people what cured me of intiammatory
rheumatism, for have the profoundest
sympathy for anyone who suffers as | did
during those five terrible weeks. I re-
gard these Pink Pills as invaluable and
would not think Of being without them.
am more than glad to give my testi-
mony as to the wonderful curative
powers of this medicine
