what Brought Success Out Of Failure
to Hon. 2. +. MAXWELL.
from the Republican. Fresno. Cal.
The Hon. z. T. Maxwell, in 1887,
having just finished term in the Mis-.
souri, legislature, was compelled by III
health to seek change Of climate, and
after travelling for some months on the
Pacific slope, settled in Kingsburg,
Fresno county, California, and engaged
in raisin culture.
The change from Cuba, Mo-, Mr..
Maxwell's old home, to the balmy air
of Kingsburg, for time seemed to
benefit the invalid, and, for while, IN
addition to his labors on the ralsln
farm, he began to take prominent
part in the county politics, and held
several offices Of trust in his new state.
But ill health was the drawback which
prevented him from arriving at the
highest political honors, and his active
mind chafed under the restraint OF an
impaired constitution, SO that instead
of improving he became worse. These
facts concerning Mr.. Maxwell's health
were so well known among the people
of Fresno county, that when he lately
reappeared on the busy scenes in ap-
parent health, he was warmly congratu-
lated by his numerous acquaintance,
and among others the writer OF this ar
ticle.
In response to request to give the
reporter particulars as to the course OF
his illness, symptoms, cure, and indeed
all there was in it, he said:
"You have asked me for more than |
could describe. Sometimes I have
looked over an alphabetical index of
diseases, and fancied had them all,
but general debility, weakness, insom-
MIA, indigestion, constipation, partial
atrophy of muscles, headaches, pain in
the back and limbs, and general
wretchedness was my lot.
my horizon was contracting, and 1
supposed that the circle Of my vision
would never again have anything but
my bed for center, for On top of my
previous ill health, in 1895, I caught
la grippe, which brought me SO low
that I was very nigh the grim portal.
"New Years day I was Respondent
and unhappy, not knowing there was
such good fortune in store for mo, for I
had hardly ambition to read the news
paper that was brought me, and threw
it on the bed in disgust. AS I did SO
my eye caught the announcement Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie, and half in anger and half in con-
tempt read what it said and again
threw the paper down. But l could
not get this announcement of Pink
Pills out of my head, and at last I de-
termined to try them, and did SO. /
began to use the pills, following direc-
tions carefully, and by the time had
taken the first box my appetite had re-
turned, and was SO inv1gorated that
it almost seemed as if I were renewing
my youth. kept on taking the Pink
Pills until I was thoroughly recovered,
and now can do more work than for
twenty years before.
II will say that not only have they
saved me much expense in doctors
bills, but my life, and I am only too
glad to publish this testimonial to the
virtues of Pink Pills.
