The reply came at once and to the point
"By the use Of a medicine called Pink Pills
for Pale People" he said. i.
"How many did you take?n was my next
question, and he answered, three boxes"
and continuing, said:
~ had heard that these pills had benefited
our City Clerk, Mr.. c. l.. Mabley, and / de-
heard, DIR. ---, (naming one of the lead,
ing doctors of this city, had told me that |
could not recover and that my left lung was
completely gone. l was In despair-my
family in want-and !, as | believed, al.
most at the brink Of the grave, and ! grasped
eagerly at the chance to try Pink Pills. Not
being able TO walk to town | asked my friend
Perry Fits 10 get me the first box and
well, look at me now" he ended laughingly.
"Have you any objection to my publish
ing an account of your case ?" ! asked as we
parted.
"None in the world" he replied, II con.
slider that l owe a solemn duty to my fellow
man in giving it out to the world, and l am
more than willing to tell my story to anyone
On leaving Mr.. Falkner's house | drove
direct to the residence of Mr.. ]. p. Fits, on
College Avenue, and asked him 10 tell me
something of how "Jim" Falkner regained
his health. He corroborated all of the fore
going statements and added: "When he
first asked me to buy. him q box Of Pink
Pills l had no idea of his getting well, as he
was a pitiful sight. His eyes were sunk
deep into his head and the blue veins showed
clearly through his deaihly white skin,
Thinking to humor the vagaries of a mar
not long for this world, ] went to the drug
store of Paul T. Hahman,. on Exchange
Avenue, and asked the proprietor if he had
him what they were good for. Mr.. Hahmar
informed me that they were good for any
disease of the blood, that he sold lots o
them, and that they were invaluable as
tonic and as a nerve food so / brough
home a box and gave them to Jim. In three
days he told me they were helping him, ant
after the second box he was handling lum
Der in my yard"
Mr.. Fits is a postmaster and the presen
Recorder of the Santa Rosa Lodge Of A.. o
u. w, and q well-known citizen of this city
After bidding him goodbye / drove to til,
City Hall to see Mr.. Mabley, the Clerk,
found him in his office at work, and aftel
the usual greeting | began relating the story
Of Mr.. Falkner as above. l had not pro
ceeded far when he interrupted me b,
saying:
81 know what you are going to tell m,
and am familiar with the whole story"
Here he pulled open a drawer in his desl
and produced a box of Pink Pills.
"You see / have them right at hand all

out them. When ! first came here Pink
Pills could not be obtained in town and
sent East for them. Now all the drug stores
keep them, and, as l verify believe, sell
more ofthcm than any other one remedy.
at was through me that Falkner heard
of this fine remedy, and ] can say for my
self, that they have strengthened and built
me up when all else failed. l have recon.
mended them TO fully two score people, all
Of whom have been benefited"
Wishing the CHEEKY City Clerk good day,
/ crossed to the Court House and found
Sheriff Allen in his Office. Stating my en-,
rand, / asked him to state for publication
what he knew Of Pink Pills and the recovery
Of his old mining partner, Falkner.
"Well, sir" said the genial "Ssmpp 81
know they are a fine remedy, though | have
never had o~ccasioH to use them myself, and
know that they saved the life Of James Fl
