TRUTH Or FICTION?
THE QUESTION WHICH WOR-
RED THE MIND OF THE
BANNER SCRIBE.

Proven Undoubtedly True by Practical
Test Applied Locally to one OF Bussey's
Best known and Respected Ladies-A
Strange story Easily Verified Right
Here at Homo Proves that ''Testimo-
malls arc not Fakes Mrs. Elliotts Story
"a Clincber.
From the Banner, Bussey, Iowa.
The great frequency with which our at
tention has been attracted to certain arti-
cles, which generally go the rounds OF all
the leading newspapers, has causcd us to
wonder end speculate a great deal as to
why none Of uhese things never happened
to occur nearer home and finally our inter
est and wonder grew to such q pitch that
knowing a certain lady in Bussey to be a
regular purchaser of Pink Pills for some
thing over two years, by reason Of the fact
that she had also induced ors' own wife to
give it trial, with very beneficial results,
we at last determined to put the matter to
the test and see If this lady could put aside
her natural repugnance to appearing SO
prominently III print in order to encourage
people generally to the greater use of her
favorite remedy, by giving her testimonial
for publication in her home paper, where
these who read would know that it was no
hoax fixed up merely to catch the unwary
and credulous.
With this object In view, we called on
Tuesday afternoon on Anna Elliott, wife OF
our esteemed townsman, w. A. Elliott,
proprietor Of the Commercial Hotel, tho
leading hosiery of Bussey, Iowa. and we
give the story in her own words:
II have been landlady of the Commercial
House now for nearly six years, and for a
long time was hardly able to get along with
the work at all, being always out of sorts,
affected by pains in the head, dizziness,
and general weakness and nervousness, al
ways feeling over worked and hardly able
to drag myself around from morning till
night often nearly wishing that were
dead.
If things had gone on much longer in
this way ! would certainly have broken
down entirely and had to give up my work,
but, luckily; just at this jnncture, | hap
pened to reod an article about DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, which
seemed to cover the symptoms of my case
exactly and / sent direct to the DR.. VIII
&ASllS4iip N4N1Il tto boShShCSttsSJ,
~ Y, and procured two trial boxes These
did me so much good and | felt SO much
encouraged that sent for a 500 package
and have always taken good care to keep a
supply of them on hand since, in over two
years now.
Their continued use put me on my feet
completely, as the saying is, and have felt
stronger and better able to do my work
and see to things about the hotel than |
ever wasin my life before and Pink Pills
have become he standard remedy iii our
family for every i'll arising from debility
of any kind.
One member of our family has been
completely cured of very bad and long
standing case of kidney trouble while
number Of the neighbors who have tried
them speak highly in the praise of this rem
edy and declare that there is no other med
icine that can possibly supply its place"
Those who know Mrs. Elliott know full
well that she would not be willing to auth
orize tho publication of the above state
ment without every word of it
being strictly tfue, but to prove con-
clusiyely 10 any stranger who may read
this article that it is every word as true as
gospel she subscribe TO the following atfi
davit in thehope That her fellow beings who
suffer as she did may be convinced of the
wonderful merits % Pink Pills for pPale
People and thereby be lei to obtain relief
through giving them a prompt and thor
omgh trial.
