No woman is better able to speak to others

Weaver, Of Bushnell, ILL.,, wife of ex-City
Marshal Weaver. She had entirely re-
covered from the illness which kept her bed
fast much of the time for five or six years

wellknown remedy DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. Weaver is fifty-six years old, and
has lived in Bushnell nearly thirty years.
She is of unquestioned veracity and unblem-
ished reputation. The story Of her recovery
is interesting. She says:
