Florence, the four-ycar-old daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. William H. Sturdivant, Of
Grindstone, N. Y, was Frustrated by a
complication OF ailments.
Her case became serious, seemed to be
beyond the help Of medical science.
Eminent physicians were unable to bens-
fit her.
The outlook was diseouraging.
Mrs. Stufdivants brother advised trying
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
The advice was timely; the pills proved
effective.
Little Florence was speedily restored to
perfect health.
The parents are positive Of the cure and
Mr.. Sturdivant even makes affidavit to
that fact before H. W. Moore, a Notary
Public.

weeks the fever subsidized but severe pains
were constantly in her back and stomach.
The difficulty seemed to BATTLE the

treatment she was completely Frustrated.

agreed with the diagnosis of our physician.
He prescribed A course of treatment
and we followed 1t faithfully for three

gan to give them to Florence.
After Using the pills a short time We
could sec an improvement.
Her strength began to return and her
appetite was restored.
when she had taken one box the pains
in her back and stomach ceased and hu
recovery seemed certain.
I'VE eagerly purchased a second box Of
pills and watched with delight the change
Tor the better that was being wrought daily.
Florence finally became strong enoush
to walk little. She gained in flesh add
strength rapidly.
by the time she had used three boxes
OF the pills she was evidently well.
I'VE continued the treatment Using an
other. box, the fourth, to prevent the pos
sibility Of recurrence Of the difficulty.
I'VE cannot praise too highly the value
OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills. l am positive
that without their use our child would have
been confirmed invalid"
The evidence Is irrefutable; DR.. Vii
