Few men in Detroit Real Estate Circles
are better known than Frank B. Trout.
None place higher value On their reputa-
ton.
Mr. Trout has reason to Believe in the
potency of Dr.. Williams Pink Pills, and
be does not hesitate to say so.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills saved the life
Of his daughter.
Saved her when eminent physicians
failed; when the pharmacopoeia was ex-
hausted: when science acknowledged
defeat.
The gratitude of the father overbalances
the natural conservatism of the man, and
he tells the world his story that others
may be benefited.
At the age of fourteen" said Mr..
Trout, I'VE had to take our daughter
from school owing to her health. She
began to fall away and became pale and
languid. She was so weak she would
fall down every time she tried to walk
unsupported.
when she was fifteen she weighed
only ninety pounds.
She was actually fading away.
Several physicians said she might out
grow it, but that it would no doubt ternai-
nate in consumption.
She was growing weaker every day;
we concluded we must lose our child.
"The medical profession had exhausted
their skill, we had tried all the we'll known
remedies. Finally | bought box of Dr..

took them home to her. Before she had
taken all of the first box we noticed
change for the better.
"She gained strength daily.
Every one noticed the change;
bought two more boxes. When she had
taken them she was strong enough to
leave her bed, and in less than six months
was something like herself.
To-day she is entirely cc.ed, and is
big, strong, healthy girl, weighing 100
pounds, and has never had SICK day
since.
al know Dr.. Williams Pink Pills saved
my daughters life and / am glad to re-
commend them to the world"
To further verify this statement Mr..
Trout made affidavit to its truthfulness
before Robert E. Hull, IT,, Notary Public.
The last decade of the nineteenth cen
tury has been marked by some of the
most important discoveries IN the history
of the world. None have done more to
benefit mankind than Dr.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. Some of the cures
effected by this wonderful remedy almost
equal the miracles of old. Diseases long
supposed incurable have succumbed to
their potency. The para1yzed have
walked; the weak and ailing have
stepped from their beds we'll and strong.
The evidence is irrefutable. The fact
stands supreme that DR.. Williams Pink
Pills are the greatest blessing ever bestowed
on suffering humanity.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills arc sold BY
druggists through out the land.

THE FIRST STEP FOR CONSOLIDATION
CentraIia to Confer With Grand Rapids and
Report Back to Councils.

The committee of the Business Mems
ASSOCIATION, Messrs. l.. NJ. Nash, j. A.
Gaynor and John Schnabel, chosen to
appear before the councils of the twin
cities in behalf of consolidation, have
acted and their requests were heard.
On Monday evening Mr.. Nash and Mr.
Gaynor waited upon the Centralia
fathers, and on Tuesday night the trio
went before the Grand Rapids dads.
As result Cent? ALA appointed COM
mittee of three-Mavor Kellner, Alder
men Hill and Palmer-to confer with a
similar committee xhich Grand Rapids
named Tuesday evening Mayor Wip-
perman, Aldermen Hasbrouck and
Rowland This board of six will conduct
a careful investigation during the month
each committee returning report to its
respective council at the sessions in
January. 1t is to be hoped that these
reports will point so strongly to the
advantages of combination, and We
believe careful research will lead to no
other conclusion, that both councils will
deem it proper and find it expedient to
submit the matter to the, people of our
two cities as all issue for special election.
The REPORTER is encouraged to believe
that this important question Of consoli-
dalton, so long hanging fire, is in the
right hands now and that definite
settlement of the question will be
reached before the winter is over. Give
us the issue, anyway, and the ballots Of
the majority will tell us where we are
at.
