Malaria on the Mississippi Bottoms.


From the Banner Democrat, Lake Propi-
dence, La.
The swamp lands along the banks Of the
Mississippi river in Arkansas. Mississippi and
Louisiana are generally considered very un-
healthy in contrast with the hilly country
adjoining them. It Is here the germs Of ma
laria are formed, and from which originate
those terrible malaria chills andfevers which
the people Of the low countries dread. In
addition to these are intermittent and re-
mittent fevers, dyspepsia, indigestion and
rheumatism, all caused from malaria germs
and the dampness Of the atmosphere.
Medical science has been put to Its utmost
capacity to devise some mode OF treatment
by which these physical ailments can be
moderated, II not era aiicated. but so far 1t
has failed. Nor does il seem that there can
be found any cure for these symptoms. Such
has been the general opinion until recently,
when DR.. Williams Pink Pills found their
way here, and came to stay. To-day those
who have used them say they would not do
without them for all the medicines In the
drug stores.

tite poor. his digestion poor, in fact. his en-
tire system was completely ont OF order; He

few days the change for the better could be
noticed. he continued to improve 80 fast
that the proprietor OF the Lake Providence
Banner Democrat interviewed him and asked
him what he had been taking to put him In
such good shape again. His reply was In
substance as follows:
"My liver was all out OF order, my diges-
ton was very bad, I felt sluggish and did not
want to do thing but lay around the house.
My blood began to get thin, and felt SICK
all over. concluded to try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, as 1 had heard 80 much about
them. After taking them few days could
feel that they were doing me a great deal OF
good. I continued the use of them, and in
a week or so I felt like new man. They
toned up my stomach, put my blood In good
condition, gave me good color, good ap-
petite, In fact, put me in flrst-class shape
again. My friends congratulated my return
OF health, and smiled when told them that
Pink Pills did the work.
