Those who have had the misfortune to be
afflicted with salt-rheum, more especially
when it has come in early childhood, can
appreciate what it is to "doctor ;" for this al.
most ineurable trouble. They almost all tes-
tlfy that they have "doctored" for years,
and often with some Of the leading physi.
clans. spending large sums of money without
obtaining relief When this is complicated
with an attack Of rheumatism, especially in
the case of man whose avocation is one
that exposes him to it, the serious nature Of
his physical ills may be imagined, and also
the potent efficacy of such remedy as DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, which
has proved able to conquer such coneensus
Of bodily problems, and to put the man into
o condition of vigor as q substitute for one
of most disheartening outlook.

prising that many in Boston, especially those

Hartford Railroad. This gentleman had
been afflicted with salt-rheum from infancy
and his blood had a decided tendency Ia
humors, in addition to which the exposed
character of his occupation promoted an ag

which threatened to destroy his usefulness
and deprive him of this means of livelihood

which had been given to the efficacy Of DR.

particularly such as arise from an impover

was induced to try them, and the result has
been so gratifying that he has became q
pioneer in recommending them to his fellow
workmen, who through his words and the
manifest results of his example have shown
constantly increasing use of the pills.
