His Own Words.


The newspapers have printed q great
many statements lately regarding wonder

Pink Pills. Some Of these stories seemed
almost incredible a. many Of them happened
at some distance, but now We have case In

togive the public his remarkable experiences
He said:

ease known a. locomotor staxia. Growing
worse continually In turn engaged the
services Of Drs. Bamber, Little, Gillett,
Gleason, Holeman, Carpenter, Lewis and
Cook. I paid out over $500 70 these doc
