For eight months past had not been
| able to comb my hair, dress myself or walk,
and had to be fed during all this time like a
babe. Well, the first pills remember dis
| tlnctly, | took on Saturday, and the follow
ing Monday I found this improvement;
namely, my nerves seemed to be frmer and
my pains less. / wish to state that at this
time, for the last four months had not slept
over an hour at time, had suffered so great
| ly from nervous prOstration, to the extent that
the least noise would completely upset me
and make me shake like one having the ague.
This Monday evening l was sitting in my
chair, and bear in mind, my daughters house
! was full of company making more or less
noise, all tending TO keep me nervous. With
all that commenced to feel easier, q strange
and quoting feeling I had not experienced
since that Christmas afternoon l was stricken
down. called to my daughter and said,
Ada, I don't know what has come over me,
l feel so restful and actually feel sleepy, I
think | will try to go to Sleep l could see
that she was surprised and pleased. Imme-
diately she undressed me and put me to bed.
u slept soundly from 8 O'Clock till
O'Clock in the morning, and that mind you
with a house full of people. I remained
awake but short time, feeling better than I
had for months, and went into sound sleep,
never waking till Z O'Clock in the morning.
1t was very hot down there in August, but
from that time I slept and rested well. Then
ing on. The first thing [ noticed was that
the swelling in my hands was going down,
and after several weeks assumed their natur-
al shape, and the tightly drawn skin, which
looked like glass disappeared altogether as
we'll as the pain. Before this time when
ever l tried to close my hands my finger
joints would crack and the same cracking
sounds l heard when bent my elbows or
tried to raise my arms as high as my shout
ders. All this left me and also all the fierce
rheumatic pains all through my body. I
came back to Chicago entirely cured, feel
ing hale and hearty, and that after having
used the miraculous Pink Pills of DIR. VIII
liams' for about four months. 1 suppose I
had taken during these four months about
one and half dozen boxes.
IT is now over three years ago that all
this happened, and I have never felt better
In ray life. You can see for yourself that I
am pretty spry on my feet. have no pains,
no aches nor anything that would suggest to
me DOW, the terrible time had then. There
is another thing / wish to say in regard to
the Pink Pills, which to me signifies a great
deel. That is when the weather changes
from extreme heat to extreme cold, or from
dry weather to raw, damp, chilly weather,
as we had the past two weeks, and have every
little while in Chicago all the year around,
! feel twinges and little pains in my shoul.
dcrs or in my arm, or perhaps it may be in
NY side, all have to do is to take few of
the pills Tor day or so and they take every
Indication of those pains away.
with the exception of the periods when
the weather is frightfully miserable, I have
not taken any pills since l was cured. And
The pills / have taken since have not been
Tor my old trouble, but simply for colds
which have tried to settle in some parts of
nay body, and which the pills have instantly
driven out. also wish to state that the pills
have cured my heart trouble, and in fact I
am in perfect health in every respect"
