Charles F. Carr of Custer City, South
Dakota, being first duly sworn says:
"ln the year 1876 l was a farmer and stock
man, living at Adell, Iowa. AT that time 1
was severely attacked by q malady little
understood by the professional men of that
time. Some Of the doctors called it rheu-
matism, and Others s~ciatica, the latter being
the true diagnosis, and they told me it was
temporary relief could be afforded. l was
for six weeks confined to my bed. I tried
everything l could hear of that would like
ly helpme. Twas afforded temporary relief,
but when very tired and worn l could feel
the effects of the malady at all times, with
an occasional return Of the intense pain
known to all sufferers with that dire dis
ease. For years | vainly sought for some
means OF relief without avail. A few years
ago, being then somewhat better, l came to
the Black Hills and took up a ranch intent
on establishing myself and family in our
western home. Exposure and over exertion
together with my age brought a return Of
the mQlQ6y and for avo 1yooH T ruoc oor-
slant sufferer from sciatica. l was for weeks
at q time confined to- my bed unable to
move about. but tried everything l could
hear of, and read all advertisements of
medicines, and tried almost everything in
the hope of finding the proper remedy for
my ailment.
~ was more than sixty years of age, and
no longer believing life worth living, long
ingly looked for the end which alone could
relieve my suffering. While in this dispond-
ing condition, one day 1 noticed and read in
one of the papers q testimonial Of q person
who had been cured Of a similar disease, and
being urged by my friends decided to try
the remedy, which was DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. In about October or November, 1895,
l began the use of Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie. ] bought two boxes of them from our
druggists, A. j. Jones g. Co., by whom they
We're highly recommended. Before I had
finished the pills l had bought, my pain
which had been increasing for at least five
years, entirely left me, and l enjoyed q
peace that l had not known in years.
lowing to the long suffering and the
affection which was more or less confined
to my left leg, it did not at once regain its
full ,vigor, and l still limp: Yet l notice a
fere with my taking care of my ranch n
the stock. I have never felt so well in
twenty years as now. I am able to do as
much work as any of my men, and I regard
my cure most remarkable at my age, for it
seems to me that 1 am as strong as 1 was at
twenty-five. 1 feel that I I'VE my recovery
to this medicine alone, and I think, my life.
Remembering what the testimonial which,
saw published did for me, l trust some suf-
ferer may see my tribute, and benefit from
it by giving DR.. Williams Pills o fair trial.
