Reporter OF Her Recent Illness
and Cure.
From the World. Hkrald, Fairharea, Wash.
Mrs. R. c. Peterson, Of Fairhaven,
Wash, who has been for a number of
years a sufferer from nervous prostra-
ton, rheumatism and female weak
nesses, and who has lately entirely re-
covered therefrom, was called upon a
few days ago by Herald representa-
tive whose attention had been called to
her case. In answer TO an inquiry,
Mrs. Peterson said:
YES, was a sufferer for many years
from nervous attacks. rheumatism and
other complaints We, my husband
and l, expended : large sum of money
in visiting the celebrated doctors of
Denver, Salt Lake City and San Fran
cisco, but my relief in all cases was
only temporary, and we had nearly de-
SPARED of my ever recovering my
health, when, one day friend advised
DIR. Williams Pink Pills, saying they
had known of case very similar to
mine, where wonderful cure had been
effected by their use.
Acting upon this advice, as a last
remedy, my husband purchased box
of the Pink Pills more to please my
friend than from any belief in the
medicine. However, before the box
was half gone | felt decided change
| for the better and after using thret
boxes was entirely recovered, and fell
as well and strong as | ever did.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills have
certainly been wonderfully effective
remedy for me, and l have no hesti
fancy in recommending them to any
one who was affected as was.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are no
looked upon as a patent medicine, bu
rather as a prescription. An analysis
