When they arrived at Forty-Mile
Camp this brave pair found there was
absolutely nothing to do. The husband
struck claim and made little money,

penses. But they had the supplies
which they had brought along with
them and little money left So they
kept on probing and poking the earth

lowed weary weeks of Encouragement
No gold worth talking about was
turned up and Clarence Berry began
to feel depressed. But the little wo-
man at his side kept telling him that
success was bound to come.
Soon afterwards reports began to
come in at Forty-Mile Camp that there
was a wonderful find of gold in the
Klondyke district. Mrs. Berry told her
husband that the best thing he could
do was to start at once for the new
fields and leave her behind. He was
reluctant to do this. but she persisted
in her counsel. and fortunately fol

From the Times-Herald. Chicago, Ill.
At the Normal Institute at Knoxville,
Iowa, on August 9th, the Knoxville CORE.
spondent Of the Chicago Times Herald was
much surprised to meet his old friend, Mr..
A. T. Conn, whom he believed to be a life
long cripple, from rheumatism and sciatica,
moving around as brisk as anybody. As
the last time Mr.. Conn had been seen by
the Iimes-Herald man he was on crutches,
and in a terrible condition, the subject of his
recovery was the topic of conversation. The
following is a resume of Mr.. Conn's story:
you are aware that from overwork and
exposure in April, 1894, lcontracted sciatica
and rheumatism, and grew steadily worse,
notwithstanding the best of medical treat
ment that the neighborhood afforded, until
was at last confined to my bed, and what
little locomotion performed was done on
crutches. From the time was taken until
August, 1895, tried every remedy could
hear of without any relief whatever. 1t
was at that time that n friend recommended
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and was so en-
thusiastic over their virtues that was per-
suaded to try them, and began to take them
in September, 1905. was rather discour-
aged at first to find myself decidedly worse,
but was urged by my frinds to persevere
and give the medicine fair trial and SO
did After while began to feel an i'm
provement, though 1t was not noticeable to
those around me, hut knew was botter,
and soon was so elated that / foolishly dis
carded my crutches. and received severe
fall for my pains. This so retarded my re-
povery that i became dishenrtened and
ave up taking Pink Pills, SO great wns my
discourngement shortly after this mis-
hap and set back, began again to take Pink
Pills steadily and perseveringly, and in q
short time could walk without crutches,
and in January, 1895, was able to dscon-
tinue tie medicine altogether, being entire
ly cured. Since then have cleared a
piece of brush land, and planted and Mt
tended this years crop. l took in all
seventeen boxes OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills

Mr.. Conns address is Pleasantville, Mar
ion Co., Iowa, where he is as well known
as in Knoxville, his former home.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills contain in u con-
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They ARE also a
specific for troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppressions, irregularities and all
forms of weakness. In men they effect .
radical cure in all cases arising from men
