Of Serious Complication of Diseases
How He Saved Himself
From the Enterprise, Mapleton, Mimi.
To escape death after being given up
by four doctors, and hidden goodbye
to family and friends is an experience
not granted every man. Yet it hap
pened to Mr.. LIE Roy Bowen, of De-
coria township, Blue Earth county,
MINI.
Mr.. Bowen is a farmer, but formerly
resided in Mapleton, where he was
clerk and city marshal for number
of years. He is a well-known member
of the Masonic fraternity and enjoys
an enviable reputation for his sterling
honesty and uprightness of character.
He told his story OF miraculous re-
lief and cure to reporter recently and
it is story of the greatest interest.
He said:
Il was suddenly taken sick in the
spring of 1895. The pain was intense.
The doctor was hastily summoned.
He pronounced my case one of gravel
and said that the pain was caused by
the passage of stone from the kidneys
to the bladder. 1 doctored with him
for thu ZEE months, but was not benefited.
Frequently, once a week, would
have bad spell of two or three days
duration, during which l suffered un-
told agony.
''Finally I went to Mankato and
L~l s-k ko1 hot
did not have gravel. but thought it
was rheumatism of the stomach. I
continued to visit him until the end of
August. Then I became completely
bedridden and sent for another doctor.
He called my complaint inflammation
of the bowels and treated me for that.
1 became better, but in one week my
legs swelled up and was worse than
ever.
s'The doctor laid my case before the
faculty of Rush Medical College, Chi
cago, and it was decided that had
neuralgia OF the stomach. was treat
ed for that until December, but contin-
ued to grow worse. Then the doctor
said, 4 can't do you any good. All
the help know for you is an opera
tion.' Very well,' replied, go on
and operate if that is left for me-
This was on Sunday. The time of -the
operation was set for Tuesday. My
children were sent for, and prepared
for the worst.
"The appointed time came; the four
doctors present examined me for two
hours, then they retired and consulted
for the same length of time. They
concluded that they did not know what
allied me. The head physician asked
permission to cut as he expressed it,
and find OUT / asked how big
place he wanted to cut. He said She
thought four inches far enough
knew enough not to allow any such
hide-and-seek game to be played with
me, SO the operation did not occur. I
continued under the DOCTORS care, but
my case was considered hopeless. I
made my will, balanced my accounts
and made every preparation for death.
II continued to grow steadily worse.
Day after day was passed in intense
agony. AS a last resort told my
hired man to bring me, the next time
he went to town, a box of DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I
had read considerable about them and
thought l would try them. Immed-
lately after beginning the use of these
pills / commenced to feel better. At
first, 1 took one pill three times day.
but increased the dose to three pills
three times day. In two weeks I
was out of bed and around.
Gin five weeks took trip to Man
kato, but this trip was a little beyond
my strength and came home and had
to 60 to bed. again began the use of
the pills. The effect was as before; in
four days was on my feet, and have
been there ever since, thanks to DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,"
hereby certify the above statement
is true, to the best of my knowledge
and belief. LIE ROY BOWEN.
