spinal sclerosiS, and all said he could not
live.
For three years he fingered in this con-
dition. Then 10y some friends he was ad-
vised to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. He took them and there
was a slight change. The first thing
noted was Il tendency to sweat freely.
This showed there was some life left in
his helpless body. Next came a little
feeling in his lil2bs. This extended. fol-
lowed 10y prickling sensations. until at
last the blood began 10 course freely,

body. and the hclplesSueSs gave way TO
returning strength. the ability to walk
returned. and he was restored to his old
