From the Journal, Detroit, Mich.

Miss Lily Schnable, living with her parents
at No. 70 Grand Avenue, Detroit, Mich, is o
remarkable fine specimen of perfect health,
which blessing she owes to the efficacy of DIR.
Williams Pink Pills.
Said Mrs. Schnable to q reporter recently:
"We were very much alarmed about Lily,
for over year she was so miserable she was
she became very thin; she had no appetite, no
ambition, could not stand anything.
"She had never matured as O woman, and
doctors, of whom we tried three or four, failed
to help her. We took her to Harper Hospital
for a time but although temporary help was
obtained she received no permanent good.
One day friend recommended DIR. Williams
Pink Pills, e~d we secured q box. Inside of
four weeks she began to improve and nature
rghted itself, and she is now as we'll and
healthy as any girl, as her rosy cheeks and
sparkling eyes showed"
Mrs. Schnable can never be thankful
enough for the wonderful remedy which has
done so much for her daughter.
