Biggsville, twenty-nine miles west OF
Galesburg, H., on the line Of the Chicago,
Burlington q Quincy Railroad, is an old,
quiet little town. In earlier days it was
noted as good business point.

presence of her grateful daughter, Mrs. u

as nearly as possible In her own language:
"Yes, 1t Is with great pleasure that can
give my testimony to the great value OF DIR.

ago was taken with chill and erysipelas

walk step. The physicians proposed to
take Off one Of my limbs but finally decided
not to do so. 1t mortified In spots, which
had to be cut or burnt out After was able
to get about with the use of crutches, every
two or three months erysipelas would set in

Fitch, Of Sheridan, Iowa; DIR. Brown, Of
Chanute, Kansas; DIR. Scarft, of Burlington,
Iowa; DR.. Trembly, of Oakland, California;
DR.. Searle, Of Galesburg, Illinois, and doc
tor in Kansas City, but obtained no relief,
and after treatment from all these physi-
clans, instead of getting better, began to
get very much worse. The other limb

the size of a silver dollar. could not sleep
nights without the aid Of morphine. My
limbs were so badly swollen that / could not
put on my shoes or walk step without

done without the Pink Pills for anything.
My general health Is much better than II
has been for good many years, and / am
now 81 years Of age Have not only used
the Pink Pills with success, but have rec
thought needed such treatment, and several
have tried them and found relief"
Mrs. Sloan said that just before commenc-
Ing to use the Pink Pills, she thought her
mother could live but very short time, and
was most agreeably surprised after she had
given the pills trial. Mrs. Talcott has
made her home with her daughter for five
or six years, and she can most cheerfully
certify to the benefit her mother has derived
from the use Of the medicine.
The reporter also called on Mr.. George
Kelly, the son of one of the prominent hard
ware dealers in Biggsvile, who has used
the Pink Pills. He was troubled with pains
In the stomach and back, and from the very
first he commenced to get better, and now
he Is not troubled at all.
John Mckee, the druggist In the village,
stated that he had sold great many Of DR..
Williams Pink Pills, and that they most
certainly give the best of satisfaction and
have accomplished great results. Quite O
number Of thevillagers are now using them.
