From the Democrat. Message, Mt.
Sterling, Ill: Realden.s OF Damon, the
village fourteen miles northwest OF Mt.
Sterling, Ill. have recently told a re.
markable story OF the almost miracu.
lous recovery O. little Josie Williams,
the four-year.old son otJohn F. Will
iams, who resides 4 short distance
northwest OF Damon. q
The Democ-at-aIessage dispatched a
representative to the scene TO obtain
the actual facts in connection with the
case, and stakes Its reputation as a
newspaper upon the truth OF the incl
dents herein cited. n.
Mrs. Williams Is a pleasant voiced
matron. She has the forceful PERSONAL
NY. the positive manner that Is nurtur-
ed and developed by the cares and re-
sponsibllltics of a farmers wife. She
would make a good witness for any
cause founded upon the principles OF
truth and equity, and she told the
story OF little Josle's sickness and recov-
cry In q convincing way. fy{} E
SHe was never right from the time
OF his BIRTH" said she. "He was weak
and puny, and did not grow like other
children. A year ago last February,
when he was two years old, he had an
attack OF lung fever. We had the SER
vices OF DR.. Jones for two or three
weeks. After Josie had recovered from
the fever, he did not seem 10 get any
strength. He had no appetite and could
not keep anything on his stomach He
would fall, trying to walk across the
room and after while he could not bear
his weight. His legs seemed to tw!ther
away, until there were nothing but
skin and bones, and he kept up a con-.
tlnual coughing. q
I'VE had q boarder named Asa Rob-
inson who had rheumatism SO severe
that he was bent nearly double. He
had used DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, and had become SO well
and strong that he was able 10 chop
wood every day and>never feel touch
OF his rheumatism. He said that he be-
leHcd the pills would help little Josie.
AT that time also read an article In
the Quincy Wh!s regarding some peo-
pie who had been cured by Dr.. Will
iams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and I
said to my husband that we should
get some for Josie as they cost only so
cents box or six boxes for 81 80, and
could be bought at any druggist. He
decided to try them, and went to Mt.
Star1iny IN n,.I rttt
boxes. We began the last o: March
giving him one third of a pill three
times day. In thee days we noticed
an Improvement, and we increased the
dose. giving him half pill at time.
He kept improving and finally we gave
him one Pill at a dose. Near the first OF
June we gave him the last of the three
boxes which We had bought In March.
and now little Josleis as fat and hearty
as any hoy In the nelshborhood. He
has good appetite and never has any
trouble with his stomach. / never had
any faith In proprietary medicines be-
fore, but DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People saved our Josie from the
grave. and I do not believe anything
else would"
