wonderful cure a man had received from
Dr. Williams Pink Pills Tor Pale People,
but was so prejudiced against what l
thought was patent medicine of the usual
worthless character thatI could not make

They were precisely the same as mine, and
at last, with my wife's earnest entreaty,
consented to try the Pink Pills.

saved my life. Gradually my strength be-
