The Remarkable Testimony OF a Husband

From the Wave, Odell, Nebraska

From the Wave, Odell, Nebraska
reporter of the Wave having
heard of the great faith Mr.. and Mrs.
]. o. Brace. of Odell, Nebraska, have
IN the curative properties of DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, de-
termined to see the parties in person
and ascertain the truth of the reports.
With that purpose in view a drive
was taken to their fine farm a few
miles west of town, where Mrs Brace
was found busily engaged in assisting
her husband make wire fence. No
doubt noticing our surprise, she apollo
gized saying that the children were
old enough TO be of much help with the
housewo-h, and she thus had time to
assist her husband.
But is it possible that you have re-
covered so as to do work requiring the
constant use of your arms. without
suffering" asked the reporter.
This question ELECTED the following
wonderful story: Il do not wonder
that you are surprised said Mrs.
Brace, for as every one in this vicinity
knows for several years ] was nearly
crippled and suffered constantly from
rheumatism. When ! first felt the at
tack l got medicine from a local ply
stefan, but instead of getting better
/ grew worse, until l suffered intense
the dread disease can understand. In
hopes of relief, leading physicians in
other towns were consulted, and they
all agreed in pronouncing it severe
case OF muscular rheumatism, and as
their prescriptions were taken month
after month without beneficial results.
they ceased to give encouragement,
and said that l was gradually becom-
ing paralyzed.
II had by that time become so Grip
pied that l had to give up all work,
and the only way l could carry my
right arm was in an upright position.
Any attempt to lower it caused ex-
cruciating pain. Constant suffering
caused general debility, and life seemed
too great burden to bear. 1t is said
drowning man will catch at straw,
and so 1t was in my case, as i read q
testimonial in newspaper / happened
to pick up, of a case similar to mine,
which had been cured by Pink Pills
for Pale People, and / determined TO
give them trial.
II admit my faith was weak, for
had always been prejudiced against
so-called patent medicines, but by the
time had taken three boxes the relief
was so apparent that i determined to
continue their use. In a few weeks my
general health improved, and l could
move my arm without difficulty, and

felt better than l had for years, and /
can now say with confidence that l am
cured. / always keep the pills in the
house and take box Of them every
spring as blood purifier, and at any
time that 1 take cold and fear a return
of my old trouble"
Continuing. Mrs. Brace said: II give
all the credit of my recovery to DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
and both my husband and I shall al
ways be ready to speak in their praise.
We tell our neighbors on every occa-
sion OF their virtues, and il you think
this is sufficient interest we will be glad
to have this testimonial made public,
hoping that IT may be of benefit to
those who otherwise would be lifelong
sufferers"

doubt, Mrs. Brace made AFFIDAVIT
