After years of patient and intense suf.
fering, Miss Gertrude Gilbert, of 1901
Dauphin street, Philadelphia, Pa, has
recovered her lost health, and is TODAY a
rosy and blooming specimen Of young
womanhood. To reporter she gave the
following account of her case:
"I had been sick for long time, when
q friend urged me to try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. Previous to
this three doctors had treated me. Thew
diagnosed my trouble as heart disease,
together with consumption, and pre-
scribed accordingly. All this medical
treatment did not benefit me in the
least. was in terrible condition.
There was scarcely any blood left in my
body. My chief trouble was weakness,
and after laborious efforts to get up stairs
I almost went into faint and on several
occasions thought I was going to die.
$50 little blood had I that my ears
were almost transparent, and my com.
plexion was as white as sheet. I can
scarcely describe my sensations, but
after repeated treatment by my physi.
clans I became thoroughly discouraged.
"It was at this time that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills were recommended to me,
and T procured a box Before I had fin.
ished it began to feel the benefit to my
health. This gave me announcement,
and I began a systematic course accord.
ing to directions. At the end Of the
seventh or eighth box, in addition to hav.
ing q sufficient quantity and q better
quality Of blood in my veins I was re-.
ieved Of that shortness of breath and
quick heart action which had been my
chief trouble. My. appetite returned,
and I was enabled to do my daily duties
with a cheerfulness which had never
before experienced. always, as pre-.
ventive, keep a box of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills in my room. They are all
they are represented to be, and to them,
and to them alone, do I owe my restora-
ton to health"

Ulm on the charge of passing counter
felt money was mentioned by the Free
Press Saturday, was brought to this
city and was arraigned before United

money in his possession. He says that
he thinks that some one must have
put it into his pocket while he was
drunk

Hamilton. From there he came to
Mankato last week and day or two
later went to st. Peter, where he
worked for two days. Then he went
