From the Record, Canon City, Colo.
g. IL. Leavitt is n trusted employe Of tho
United Oil Company at Coalcrcek, Colorado.
For several years his health has been bad,
md rapidly going from that to worse. He
was troubled with cons tipation,a very seri-
Gus nervous headache, sharp pains down the
back, general debility, and, in fact, was 80

there wasn't well part or function to him.
During the winter of 'Q5 and '96, he was not
able to walk any distance or take any great
exertion whatever He continued work be-
cause his employment required very lite
labor, but he had one Of his children with
him constantly lest he should be overcome
and faint away.
Mr.. Leavitt tried several physicians, but
none could do anything for him. Instead OF
Improving under their care, he grew rapid
ly worse. Although he tried many prep
nrniions and medicines nothing seemed to

Sometime in May last, he read an account
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills In the Canon
City Record, and he determined to try them.
He Immediately purchased n box Mt II. II.
Rosser's drug store in Coalcreek, and began
their use, After he had taken four or FIVE
boxes he noticed wonderful change, and
after that he began to improve rapidly
Now Mr.. Lcavitt is u strong, hearty man Of
300 pounds weight. He has his full strength,
is never troubled with constipation, nervous
headache, pain In back and in most ways
feels better than he has felt before in many
years. He has good appetite, and says he
feels like new man. Mr.. Leavitt attributes
his recovery wholly TO DIR. Williams Pink

DR.. Williams Pink pills contain, In con-
