purchases are not made for me, but for my
father, Frank j. Ether, who is a farmer at
Priest River, Idaho He has been afflicted
with rheumatism for years and has tried
every remedy known to the medical profes-

he began the use of Pink Pills and has I'M
proved rapidly ever since. He writes me
that he feels like a new man again. He i
so much attached to the little pills, that
every time he writes me, he mentions them
and directs me to send him several packages
