such an Interpretation Of the eSidHce

have permitted the publication y a

nom he Journal, Detroit, Mica
A very grateful mother Is Mrs. A. L. Hart
ness, OF GIG Grandy Avenue, Detroit, for tho
wonderful cure which her daughter has re-
ceived by the use OF DR.. williams Pink Pills.
Said Mrs. Hartness: "Yes, my daughters
life has been saved by using Pink Pills, thanks
to kind friend who recommended them
TO me.
"Blanche was sick for over three wears.
She had the care of the best physicians pro-
durable, and no expense or trouble was
spared to give her relief. She was 90 thin
that she was fairly skin and bones, her d.
gestion was out Of order and she had the
most awful headaches. We gave up all hope
of her recovery. Her long, thin, hstless face
made me nearly crazy, and We did every
thing in our power TO give her strength and
induce her to take an interest In anything.
"One day friend told me about the Pink
Pills, and Mr.. Hartness went down town and
got three boxes. She had taken about one
box, when, to my amazement, one morning
heard her playing on the piano. could
hardly believe it, for 1t had been over year
since the piano had been opened.
''Soon she began to take short rides on her
bicycle, and soon she went singing around
the house, our own happy, hearty little
daughter once more.
..Shethinks nothing of a spin on her wheel
over to at. Clemens or Pontiac, and Is as
well as she ever was.
"Ihad girl living at our house who was
great sufferer from impoverished blood,
| and who received instant and permanent
relief from the use OF one box Of the pills.
ssIf this information can be OF any use to
help some poor sick one, it Is given with the

I tried several doctors, took electric
treatment, patent medicines, and.
I'm fact, everything TIT ! could hear

no help for me, only to grin and bear

to see card with 'Ripans Tabules'

seems to me, the first dose took
