Journeyings
OF a Journalist
A new FIELD OF KNOWLEDGE EXPLORED
WITH MOST INTERESTING RESULTS.
Investigations Made in Three States all Reveal the
Same Truth.
From the Paragraph, Bloomington, III

A well-known journalist of La Sale,
Illinois, has been making some curious OBJ
BervatiOns and enquiries during an extended
trip in the Middle-West and Eastern States,
concerning the actual merits of a much ad-
vertised remedy for many of the ills that
flesh is heir to.
Before leaving La Sale County the enter
prising gentleman began his search for in
formation, and he now publishes an account
of what he found out in his own State and
in Michigan. Valparaiso, Burroak, Bronson
and Sturgls in the latter State are among the
places he has visited and written up, and as
he is now in the Eastern States it is more
than probable that we shall hear further
from him.
Ny first idea of taking up this matter, !"
he writes, g. was prompted by hearing John
+. Hawkins formerly a brakeman, but now
employed in the yard of the Rock Island
Road, tell about a wonderful cure of rheu-
matism effected on himself, and from which,
Judging from his story, he must have been
exceedingly i'll, broken up and unhappy"

said, "laid up with rheumatism, and could
get nothing TO do me any good. Doctors
were of no service to me, and | was pretty
we'll disheartened when another railroad

Iiams' Pink Pills for Pale People. laughed
1t him, but he got so much in earnest that
Tied them, and soon all rheumatism left
me. That's straight goods, Mr.. ----,"
he said, on seeing me smile incredulously.
They cured me right up"
II was not by any means satisfied that
this was conclusive evidence that it was the
Pink Pills that had really cured my friend,
the ex-brakeman, as there is such a thing as
a disease wearing itself out, so ] determined
TO investigate further, and to this end called
on Mr.. Walter Jones, the druggist, for in
formation concerning this much Wanted

81 sell great many of these Pink Pills"
Mr.. Jones said, in answer to my question, as
to what he knew about them, and quite a
number have said they were much benefited
by them. Suppose you so and see Mrs. John
Fellows"
"Instead of going TO see Mrs. John Eel
lows, | went to see Mrs. NJ. j. McGettrck
the wife of a prominent business man, as
learned that the lady was taking Pink
Pills"
81 have only just begun to use them, "
she said, but my faith in them is derived
from the endorsement of Mrs. William Had
den, well-known farmers wife, living six
miles from here, who swears by them. She
had general debility and break down, and
there is no doubt but they did her all the
good in the world and built her up splen.
didly."
The next person visited was Mr.. Charles
Epple good, solid business man of Seneca
who has been in that town in the drug bust
ness for seventeen years. As. anything that
Mr.. Epple says can be depended on, give
what he said in answer TO my demand for
information, exactly as l find it on my
notes:
81 have sold DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
over two years, and in that time the trade in
them has greatly increased There is a special
demand for them among the families near
town. There is William McElroy, who
s,,.k - al. H. n.
buys several boxes at time, and soon comes
back and buys more. If you have time you
might go and see him. Then there is another
man you perhaps know, Christopher Off,
farmer. He has used them constantly for
some time, though cannot say what for
