SATISFIED SISTERS.
What Postponed the Trip to Hot
Springs.

Two well-known ladies Of Holly Pond,
Cullman County, Alabama, are the Misses
Il. 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 80 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 terrible pain around my
| ieart, which Frustrated me for hours, and
| from then on l grew weaker until spring,
,ghen from impaired circulation and i'm
! toverishment OF the blood, a stomach diff
Guilty set in, bloating my body fearfully. OF
| course l was confined to my bed and to add
ID my sorrows general attack of rheuma-
| tsm followed, so that motion was painful,
aud locomotion impossible.
| Several physicians were consulted but
| h1ey gave NE no relief, until tie last came
who SO helped my stomach difficulty, that
after several months L was able to sit up.
The rheumatism, however, stubbornly
stayed, and I was advisedthat my only hope,
was the Hot Springs of Arkansas. | was
| preparing to make the journey when l was
recommended to try DR.. Williams Pink
| Pills.
During my illness, had taken two
| boxes of these self same pills, but not in the
way recommended, as l was taking other
remedies. Now though, determined to try
them properly, as l was no longer under
physicians care, and could do as pleased,
! and my sister, Miss Fl. A. Shepard, at my
request, ordered six boxes Of Pink Pills for
| me, as could not leave the house and could
| only hobble with the aid of crutches.
by the time l had finished the pills.
| had g ven up clutches, though | was still al
most skeleton from the ordeal through
which had passed. l am now quite tieshy,
%l,p< l,o1 ID |,
change is DR.. 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. 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 II. A Shepard, who
had scirrhous growth on her right temple.
This was terribly infiamed and spreading so
fast, that prevailed upon her to order five
dollars worth Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills,
and test their virtue as 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
still 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 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 i'll many years.
God grant she may be spared the horrible
death with which she was threatened. My
sisters case, more than my own. has in
duced me to write this statement, in order
that it may be made public.
