From the Richibucto, n. b., Review.
In the village of Notre Dame, Ca
NADIA. live Mr. and Mrs. John Wood,
respected by all who know them. MIS-
Wood had gone through trying ILL
ness from which she is now happily
recovered, and this recovery created
so much comment that your correspon-
dent called upon the lady with view
to getting the facts for publication.
The reporter was cordially welcomed
and was told by Mrs. Wood that she
had no objection to making a state
ment for publication if it were likely
TO benefit anyone else. She then gave
the following particulars of her illness
and cure.
For some time previous to Febru-
ary. 1896" said Mrs. Wood, Il had been
feeling unwell and from that time out
my health seemed to be going from
bad to worse | suppose the words
general debility would best character

blood seemed as thin as water. L felt
continually drowsy, and yet could not
get sound, refreshing sleep. My appe-
tite was Door and 1 had no relish for
food. | was reduced in flesh, and yet
my limbs were bloated and swollen ana
| was told that 1 had dropsy, but real
" | cannot say if this was the case. L
tried several medicines but they did
me no good, and l almost felt like CIV
ing up in despair. One or my frlends
urged me to try DR.. Williams PINK
pills and | began using them in the

to see that / had at last found a med1-
cine that would cure me if anything
could. for after taking couple of boxes
7 felt both better in health and spirits
than | had done for some months.
From this out I gained strength con-
tinuaIly. Ny flesh became sound and
healthy. the bloating left me, my
weight increased. and l soon found
myself resored from the position OF
an unfortunate invalid to a strong and
healthy person. | can say nothing but
words of praise for DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. and l strongly recommend them
to all who may be suffering. Mr..
Wood endorsed what his wife said, and
added that Pink Pills would hereafter
be their family medicine.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills strike at the
root of the disease, driving it from the
system and restoring the patient to
health and strength. In cases of para
lysis. spinal troubles, locomotor ataxia'
sciatica, rheumatism, erysipelas, scro-
fulous troubles, ETC., these pills are su-
perior to all other treatment. They
are also a specific for the troubles

women a burden. Men broken down
