Two well-knoWn ladies Of Holly Pond,
Cullman County, Alabama, are the Misses
h. A. and NJ. +. Shepard, and they are held
in the highest esteem.
Two years ago, Miss NJ F. Shepard was
stricken with terrible sickness, from which
she suffered long. The history of the case
is so interesting that we publish the lady S
own version as it is every way worthy OF
perusal:
Two years ago last February, 1 was
stricken with a terrible pain around my
heart, which Frustrated me for hours, and
from then on l grew weaker until spring,
when from impaired circulation and i'm

to, my sorrows general attack of rheuma-
tsm followed, so that motion was painful,
and locomotion impossible.
several physicians were consulted but
.ley gave me no relief, until the last anne
who so helped my stomach difficulty, that
after several months l was able to sit up.
The rheumatism, however, stubbornly
stayed, and | was advisedthat my only hope,
was the Hot Springs of Arkansas. | was
preparing to make the journey when was
recommended to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills.
During my illness, l had taken two
foxes of these self same pills, but lot in the
way recommended, as l was taking other
remedies. Now though, determined totry
them properly, as l was no longer under a
and my sister, Miss II. A. Shepard, at my
request ordered six boxes of Pink Pills for
me, as l could not leave the house and could
only hobble with the aid of crutches.
''By the time l had finished the pills, I

which had passed. am now quite fieshy,
and the only agent that has cansed the
change is DIR. Williams Pink Pills, for |
used no other medicine. My right hand is
still drawn so that can only use the thuu- b
and first finger, and my back is still lame,
but l am in better health than for many
years. None of my friends expected me to
live, and at one time it was feared my rea-
son was giving way. l do not know how to
pay sufficiently high tribute to DR.. Will
liams' medicine. 1t is, believe, the grandest
blood medicine that was ever prepared.
Now, having stated my own case, let me
| refer to my sister, Miss H. A. Shepard, who
| had scirrhous growth on her right temple.
| This was terribly intamed and spreading so
| fast, that prevailed upon her to order live
| dollars worth Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills,
| and test their virtue as a blood cleanser as
| the only means Of arresting the rapid
growth of the cancer. This she did, and
| has taken about seven of the boxes, and is
st Il taking them. The sore has stopped
| spreading, and appears to be healing. When
| she began to take the pills she was the thin
nest living being l ever saw that could move
| about. Now she has gained in flesh her
skin has regained its normal appearance,
and she is stronger, and her general health
is better than it has been in many years.
God grant she may be spared the horrible
| death with which she was Threatened. NY
| sister S case, more than my own, has in
| duced me to write this statement, in order
that it may be made public.
