From the Nugget. Chehalis, Wash.

The neighbors called her walking corpse.
For fifteen years she had suffered from loss
of blood and dropsy. She had not the
strength to stand alone. She had spent
thousands of dollars with the doctors and
had been unable to find relief. Her case
was considered hopeless.
That is the experience of Mrs. G. Reed, a
well-known lady of this city.
A Nugget reporter called upon her at her
home last Tuesday. She was willing to be
interviewed, she said, if she-could be the
means of pointing out to other unfortunates
the way to recovery and good health.
"It has been over fifteen years since the
malady asserted ITSELF" said Mrs. Reed
"Since then, until within the last few
months, never knew what it was to be well
for single day. I could not sleep. My
appetite went away and began to lose flesh.
This continued for years. became so weak

Pink Pills for Pale People. l thought this

occasionally since then.

People. Without them fear should have
been dead before now.
"Since my cure has become known the
druggists here have always kept the pills,
and ] do not have to send away for them any
more. I have recommended them to several
of my neighbors and know that they have
done much good in more than one case SINH

In order to confirm this statement beyond
all doubt Mrs. Reed offered to make affidavit
to its truth, and the affidavit is here pre-
sented:
