Mr.. W. N. Beckwith, of Buda, H. is man
who is very well llncwn IN Bureau County.
He came to Illinois in 1855, and ever since,
has been known as an active business man,
popular with all, for his positive integrity
and honor. His opinions have always been
accepted with the highest regard, ana he has
life to look back upon that is filled with
deeds of well doing.
Of late years Mr.. Beckwith has been in
retirement from actual business. For num-
ber of years he was president Of The Buda
Bank and enjoyed the confidence Of the entire
community. Mr. Beckwith says that about
five years ago his health became so bad that he
felt he must retire, and besides he was getting
well along III years, and believed the younger
generation should have Il chance.
Some years ago, when quite young, Mr..
Beclwith suffered slight accident during
play, and ever since that time he has been
troubled with hemorrhagcs Of the lungs.
The long continuance of this trophle soon
brought on others such as inHammatory rheu-
matism and heart trouble.
"Why," said Mr. Beckwith, when the
reporter called to learn how ne was progress
ing, g its a wonder Pm not dead, seventy
one years old too. You won't find many
men of my age who have withstoOd for years
such complication of diseases as mine. The
doctors have told me many a time that they
have never seen anything Just like it; |
know it is So for understand it pretty well
myself. OF course from such a complica-
tOn my system finally became greatly run
lOwn. The greatest trouble | have Ia is in
keeping my food down. The assimilation
was very poor and under the most favorable
circumstances, l could not take much nour-
ishment.
81 forget who it was-some one of my old
business acquautances-who told me Of DR..
Williams Pink Pills. ! had also red
great deal about them in the newspapers, and
one day did come very near sending for
box of the pills, but it finally slipped my
mind. It never occurred to me agniN until
my friend asked me why didn't try them
He was very enthusiastic over them know
ing SO many eases that had been cured by
their use.
"I became interested finally, and upon
going to town again, bought a box of the
Pink Pills. didn't look for any immediate
results at all. Knowing so well my serious
condition, | knew that even the very best
and most applicable remedy, whatever it
was, must be used very thoroughly and
scientifically to obtain the best results. I
began taking the pills at once | noticed
no results whatever until had taken nearly
a box of them.
First, | noticed that I was eating more
than | usually did. Furthermore, | relished
it, and became hungry much oftener. l
told my wife that this alone was worth every
thing to me- But it wasn't all. for besides
eating more heartily. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills did just what I had been wishing so
heartily could get some medicine to accom-
plish. They succeeded in so soothing my
stomach that my food stayed where it ought
to.
certained that the tone of my system was
much better. l felt almost like a new man.
l slept better than l had for years. and felt
better in the morning. Instead of getting
down town once a day I managed to get
down twice. My friends all remarked that
I was looking remarkably well for a man
of my years. 1 wasn't well yet, by any
means. I knew that. But was better.
