SATISFIED SISTERS.
WHAT POSTPONED THE TRIP TO HOT
G


SPRINGS.
From the Tribune, Cullnadn, Ala.
Two we'll known ladies of Holly Pond
Cullman County, Alabama, are the Misses 81.
A. and NJ. F. Shepard, and they are held in
tho highest esteem.
Two years ago, Miss NJ. F. Shepard, was
stricken with terrible sickness, from which
she suffered long. The history of the case
is so interesting that we publish the ladys
own version as it is every way worthy of
perusa:
"Two years ago last February, I was
stricken with a terrible pain around my
heart, which Frustrated me for hours, and
from then on l grew weaker urtil spring.
when from impaired circulation and impov-
erishment of the blood, a stomach Difficulty
set in, boating my body fearfully. OF course
was confined to my bed and to add to my
sorrows general attack of rheumatism fol
lowed, so that motion was painful and loco
motion impossible.
Several physicians were consulted but
they gave nae no relief, until the last came,
who so helped my stomach difficulty, that
after several months | was able to sit up
Tho rheumatism, however, stubbornly
stayed, and | was advised that my only hope
was the Hot Springs of Arkansas. 1 was
preparing to make the journey, when / was
recommended to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
During my illness. [ had taken two boxes
OF these self same pills, but not in the way
recommended, as / was taking other rene
dies. Now though, determined to try them
! properly, as l was no longer under a physi-
clans care. and could do as / pleased, and
| my sister, Miss H. A. Shepard, at my request,
| ordered six boxes of Pink Pills for me, as
| could not leave the house and could only
| hobble with the aid of crutches
l CIV he time had inishad tnn Mills had
| given up clutches, though l was still almost
| skeleton from the ordeal through which L
had passed am now quite fl eshy, and tho
| only agent that has caused the change is DIR.
| WILLIAMS Pink Pills, for l used no other
medicine. My right hand is still drawn so
that can only use the thumb and first fin
ger, and my back is still lame but am in
better health than for many years. None of
my friends expected me to i've and at one
time it was feared my reason was giving
way. Ido not know how TO pay suffl-
GENTLY high tribute TO DR.. Williams medi-
cine. 1t is, 1 believe, the grandest blood
medicine that was ever prepared.
''Now. having stated my own case, let me
refer to my sister, Miss II. A. Shepard, who
| had a scirrhous growth on her right temple
This was terribly inflamed and spreading SC
fast, that prevailed upon her to order five
| dollars worth of DIR. Williams Pink Pills
and test their virtue as a blood cleaner, az
| the only means of arrestingthe rapid growth
| vi lue cAuceE. Inns Sne ulu, ana mas taken
| about seven of the boxes. and is still taking
! them. The sore has stopped spreading, anC
| appears to be healing. When she began Il
take the pills she was the thinnest living be
ing ever saw that could move about. Now
she has gained in flesh, her skin has re
gained its normal appearance, and she i!
stronger, and her general health is bette
than it has been in many years. God gran
she may be spared the horrible death witt
which she was threatened. My sisters case
more than my own, has induced me to writ
this statement, in order that it may be mad
public. 'M. f. SHEPARD,
