Walk-Ris Friends COrrobOrate His Testimony,
From The Republican, Santa Rosa, Cal.

The reply came at once and to the point /:
by the use of a medicine called Pink Pills
for Pale People" he said.
How many did you take" was my next
question, and he answered, "three boxes"
and continuing, said:
Il had heard that these pills had benefited
our City, Clerk, Mr.. c. L. Mabley, and / de-
heard, DIR. -, manning one of the lead
ing doctors of this city had told me that 1
could not recover and that my left lung was
completely gone. was in despair-my
family in want-and /, as 1 believed, al.
most at the brink of the grave, and | grasped
eagerly at the chance to try Pink Pills. Not
being able to walk to town 1 asked my friend
Perry. Fits to get me the first box and
well, look at me now, " he ended lauphinply.
Have you any objection to my publish.
ing an account of your case2" l asked as we
parted.
"None in the world, q" he replied. "I CON-
slider that l owe a solemn duty to my fellow
man in giving it out to the world, and l am
more than willing to tell my story to anyone
who is likely to be benefited"
On leaving Mr.. Falkner's house I drove
direct to the residence of Mr.. J. P. Fits, on
College Avenue, and asked him to tell me
something of how Jim Falkner regained
his health. He corroborated all of the fore
going statements and added: "When he
first asked me to buy him a box of Pink
Pills l had no idea of his getting we'll, as he
was a pitiful sight. His eyes were sunk
clearly through his deathly white skin.
Thinking to humor the vagaries of a man
not long for this world, ] went to the drug
store Of Paul T. Hahman, on Exchange
Avenue, and asked the proprietor if he had
any Pink Pills, and at the same time asked
him what they were good for. Mr.. Hahman
me that they were good for any
disease of the blood, that he sold lots of
them, and that they were invaluable as q
tonic and as a nerve food so l brought
home a box and gave them to Jim. In three
days he told me they were helping him, and
after the second box he was handling lum-
Der in my yard"
Mr.. Fits is a postmaster and the present
Recorder of the Santa Rosa Lodge of A. O.
u. W., and a ~well-known citizen of this city.
After bidding him goodbye / drove TO the
City Hall to see Mr.. Mabley, the Clerk. l
found him in his Office at work, and after
the usual greeting | began relating the story
of Mr.. Falkner as above. / had not pro-
ceeded far when he interrupted me by
81 know what you are going to tell me
and am familiar with the whole story"
Here he pulled open a drawer in his desk
and produced a box of Pink Pills.
" You see | have them right at hand all
the time, " he said, "and would not be with
out them. When l first came here Pink
Pills could not be obtained In town and L
sent East for them. Now all the drug stores
keep them, and, as | verify believe, sell
more of hen than any other one remedy.
at was through me that Falkner heard
of this fine remedy, and l can say for my
self, that they have strengthened and built
me up when all else failed. / have recon-
mended them to fully two score people, all
Of whom have been benefited"
Wishing the CHEEKY City Clerk good day,
I crossed to the Court House and found
Sheriff Allen in his Office. Stating my err
rand, l asked him to state for publication
what he knew of Pink Pills and the recovery
Of his old mining partner, Falkner.
"Well, sir" said the genial Sam, " 81
know they are a fine remedy, though / have
never had occasion to use them myself, and
know that they saved the life of James II.
Falkner."
Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be
sent post paid on receipt of price, 80 cents q
