A well.known Journalist Of Ia Sale.
Illinois, has been making some curious OBJ
servations and enquiries during an extended
trip in the Middle-West and Eastern States,
concerning the actual merits of a much I'D.
yertised remedy for many of the ills that
flesh is heir to.
Before leaving Ia Sale County the enter.
Prising gentleman began his search for in
formation, and he now publishes an account
Of what he found out In his own State end
In Michigan. Valparaiso, Burroak, Bronson
and Sturgis in the latter State are among the
places he has visited and written up, and as
he Is now in the Eastern States, it il more
than probable that we shall hear further
from him.
My first idea Of taking up this matter"
he writes, was prouipted by hearing John
+. Hawkins, formerly q brakeman, but now
employed in the yard of the Rock Island
Road, tell about a wonderful cure of rheu-
matism effected on himself and from which,
judging from his story, he must have been
exceedingly i'll, broken up and unhappy"
said, "laid up with rheumatism, and could
get nothing to do me any good. Doctors
were of no service TO me, and was pretty
we'll disheartened when another railroad
man asked me why ] did not try DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. laughed
tried them, and soon all rheumatism left
me. That's straight goods, Mr.. -"
he said, on seeing me smile incred ulously.
They cured me right up"
81 was noe by. any means satisfied that
this was conclusive evidence thu. il was the
Pink Pills that had really cured my friend,
the ex-brakeman, rs there is such a thing rs
. disease wearing itself out, so determined
10 Investigate further, and to this end called
on Mr.. Walter Jones, the druggist, for in
formation concerning this much Wanted
remedy"
az sell great many Of these Pink Pills"
Mr.. Jones said, in answer to my question, ~
to what he knew about them, land quite %
number have said they were much benefited
BY them, Suppose you go and see Mrs. John
Fellows"
"Instead Of going TO see Mrs. John Eel
lows, went to see Mrs. NJ. J. McGettrick.
the wife Of q prominent business man, Ms !
learned that the lady was taking Pink
Pills"
az have only just begun to use them, "
she said, "but my faith in them is derived
from the endorsement of Mrs. William Had
den, well-l<nown farmers wife, living six.
miles from here, who swears by them. She
had general debility and break down. and
there il no doubt but they did her all the
gcod in the world and built her up splen.
didly."
The next person visited was Mr.. Charles
Epplc, n good solid business man of Seneca,
who has been in that town in the drug bust
ness t0r seventeen years. AS anything thnf
Mr.. Epple says can be depended on, give
what he said in answer to my demnnd for
information, exactly as ! find 1t on my
notes:
~ have sold DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
over two years, and in that time the trade in
them has greatly increased. There is = special
demand for them among the families rear
town. There is William McElroy, who
lives just north of this place, who always
buys several boxes at a time. and soon comes
back and buys more. II yon have time YOU
might 20 and see him. Then there is another
man you perhaps know. Christopher OFT, q
farmer. lie has used them constantly for
some time. though cannot say what for"
