From the Union, Port Jeruis, N. Y,
But short time ago, in distant part
of the country, we heard of @ cure by the
use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills, which
seemed almost marvellous, and more re-
Gently another substantial evidence of
their value reached our ears. Being of
an lnqulrlng turn Of mind, and wishing
to know just how much there was in the
story reporter WAS sent to interview
the person said to be thus benefited. If
the narrative as it had reached our ears
was true, 1t was only simple justice to let
1t be known-if 1t proved untrue, it
would De we'll to know it.
The person alluded to above as having
been thus greatly benefited by the use of
Plnk FILLS is Mrs. Jane Hotalen. of
Gainesville, N. j., pleasant hamlet in
Sussex County, about fifteen miles from
this office. The reporter had no difficulty
in finding Mrs. ..Hotalen. 1t W. nearly
noon when we reached her pleasan5
home, double house, one pars of which
is occupied by her son. She is a plea
ant-faced old lady, looking to be about
sixty-hye, but is in reality seventy two
years of age. After few preliminary
remarks in explanation of the call, she

alienation. I was under treatment about
month as stated but grew worse instead
of better, and was fast becoming dis

"What brought Pink Pills to your no.

my son called my attention to an ar

that Mr.. Srruble, of Branohville, a
village in this county, had been greatly

It would be q good plan to try them.
But was skeptical in regard to their
value-in fact, I had no confidence in
their efficacy and rather laughed at the
suggestion. But the trouble increased
and was badly crippled. A few days
later my son was about to visit neigh

taking them at once. At the end of a

kind-my mother died from Them
did you ever note any i'll effects from
the use of Pink Pills?"
"None whatever. They never disturbed
my stomach in any way or caused me
any annoyance. Neither did I find it
