FROM me cau, San Francisco, Cal.

"You don't know me! Well, | am not sur
prised at that. | hardly know myself, and
yet here l am full of life and vlgor. Look
at my arms, round, strong and healthy:
The color of my cheeks show life and
animation"
So spoke Mrs. Hadix, wife of Rev. E.
Hadix, of Placerville, California, and what
has produced this wonderful change from
almost death to healthful, active life ~"
"Well, I will tell you 1t was Pink Pills for
Pale People. You will remember that for
years / walked the streets a living skeleton,
-emaciated-weak, and q complete wreck.
Ny flesh c~olorless, my nerves unstrung. |
had no blood. If my flesh was punctured,
a thin pink stain was all that could be pro-
duced. My physicians said there was no
hope for me. My friends despaired of my
recovery. l was sent to Sacramento where
three of the most eminent physicians dag
nosed my case, but they shook their heads
and said they could not help me, and they
refused to take my money as they could do
me no good.
"My husband was sent for to say the last
goodbye. When l lay on my couch to rest
I felt as though l was sinking, down, down,
down. I could not sleep, neither could l
rest. When all hope from physicians was
gone, l determined to try what virtue there
was in Pink Pills for Pale People. l COM
menced taking them and soon began to i'm
prove. / continued their use with the
result that to-day l am fully recovered to
health and happiness, and this in less than
six months from the time l commenced their
use. All hail to Pink Pills for Pale People"
&c. Stephens, another resident of Placer
vile, said: al was afflicted with rheuma-
tism for more than twenty years, and only
with the greatest difficulty was ! able to
walk to my place of business, my hands
were so stiff and swollen that | could
scarcely hold anything in them. When driv-
ing my team, | could not hold my whip. | saw
in the San Francisco Call that a friend of
mine had been cured of rheumatism by u.s.
ing Pink Pills. I commenced using them
with the result that / am completely cured"
Mrs. j. G.. Bailey was afflicted for a long
time with kidney trouble and could not rest
at nights. She said: 81 had heard so much
abe ut the wonders that Pink Pills performed
that ! concluded to try them. / commenced
taking them, and found immediate relief,
sleep nicely, and in every way am greatly
improved"
w. f. Fairchild is a druggist doing bust
ness in Placerville. He says he has been
selling Pink Pills for Pale People for several
years, and that his customers speak very
highly of them, and sales nave been more
than doubled within the last six months,
especially since the wonderful. recovery of
Mrs. Hadix, whose case was considered hope
less, and whose recovery by the use of Pink
Pills was considered almost a miracle. The
reputation of these pills is fully established
for doing what they promise.

Exnosure to.cold and dampness viii 9,

Exposure to,cold and dampness will ex-
cite the Tactic acid in the blood. hence
rheumatic aches and pains result, together
with much weakness and distress. To cur
this troubls and relieve the sufferer from
all liability of a return OF the disease, tn
poisons in the blood must be dissolved and
eradicated. LALLEMAND's SPECIFIC for
RHEUMATISM is an absolutely reliable and
permanent cure. The dose Is only twenty
drops, yet its penetrating power is so grea'
that it reaches to the remotest part of the
body, warming the blood and bones, re-
lleving pain, strengthening the joints, ano
what is more important, completely des'
troying the rheumatic acid, so that the
body is fortified against future attacks

San Francisco is the inviting Mecca of in

balmy air and the health-giving ocean
breezes Of the placid Pacific come the sick
from all climes and all countries.
The millionaire, the business man and the
tourist all meet on common ground in the
magnificent hostelries of the queen city of
the Pacific. They all come for some special
reason. The millionaire's visit is more often
for health than for anything else. The bust

domiciled in this land of sunshine. The

visitor In the mine have no effect on the patient
mule. In his stall. surrounded by solid. hard
coal. black as night, the mule stands quietly,
and muhchcs his portion of oats and hay. In.
deed, there are no flies on him. No matter how
intense the summer heat may DO on the surface,
or how thick insects may DO In tho broad light
of day. the mine mule wears out no shoes In
stamping to rid his limbs OF the pests.

them. The stable lads and the drivers are kind to
the beasts and their treatment far below ground
is likely better than mules generally receive
above ground. The average life Of the mule
In the mines is about eight years.
