Remarkable Cures in Cases Sup
posed to Be InCurable.
PROOF IS INDISPUTABLE.
The Most Severe Nervous Disorders Known to Medi-
cal Science Permanently Cured-Some
Sworn Statements.

II is medical truth that beyond
dispute, the blood and nerves rule the
entire system. A medicine which both
builds up the blood and strengthens
the nerves is, therefore, calculated to
strike at the source OF greater mum
Der of diseases than any other Such
n remedy must also be an unsur.
passed tonic making pale, weak, ner-
vous men and women feel strong. ac-
tive and energetic That it should
also prove a specific for many serious
disorders of the blood and nerves is
not surprising and this Is true Of that
remarkable discovery DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People Diseases
long believed by physicians to be in
durable, chronic troubles OF long
standing, have succumbed to the pc.
tent influences Of this great remedy.
Locomotor ataXia. paralysis, sciatica,
nervous prostration and st. Vitus'
dance have Teen numbered among
the diseases cured. Indeed, so re.
mdrkable have been many Of the
cures effected that they have come to
be known as modern miracles Those
that 'o'low will show that this article
Is fully deserved.

The following is one case among
hundreds in which an attack of the
grip has left the patient wrecked in
health, and in which every effort of
physicians has proved unavailing. The
story is told in words of the sufferer.
Mrs. J. b. Shaw Of 2101 Bellefontaine

When the grip was epidemic here

ease left me in bad state. former

until nearly morning and then fail
into sleep that was not restful. My
heart action was weak and | was a
victiR of nervousness In fact my
health was shattered by the attack of
the grip and recovery seemed hope
less.
After being afflicted in this man
ner for several weeks, happened to
read an advertisement of DR.. VIII
liams Pink Pills for Pale People.
Thinking they might do me good. |
began taking them at once. In three
days | was much better and could
sleep ike a child at night After us
ing a box of the pills, my memory was
restored and felt greatly encouraged.
I continued taking them until | had
used three boxes and was in better
health than ! had enjoyed before in
several years.
II have recommended Or. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People to many of
my friends and urge all who are suf-
fering from the effects of the grip to
use them and drive the lingering dis
ease from their systems. If stamped

From toe Traveller. Arkansas CITY, Kas
Rapid as has been the advance of
medical science along many lines, it
is only in recent years that a remedy
has been discovered for one OF the
most dreadful of nervous diseases
that afilict children-St Nitus dance.
This and other nervous disorders
that cause the pale and wan faces and
poevish. irritable dispositions of so
many children can now be scientill
cally treated by remedy which
strikes at the root of the disease by
renewing the impoverished blood and
strengthening the nerves.
Words of commendation for this
remedy come from all parts of tho
civilized world. This is the interest
ing story told by Mr.. and Mrs. Chris.
TOPPER Armstrong of Jefferson, Okla:
"Our youngest daughter was for
three years afflicted with St Vitus'
dance, and we almost despaired of
finding relief in medical treatment.
She was so helpless that she he'd to
be fed and would fall over at times
mud be unable to rise
we had heard and read u great
deal about DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, and as a last resort, de-
termiued to try them. The effect was
almost miraculous. From the first box
there was noticeable improvement
and by the time she had taken six
boxes she was almost well. Altogether
she took about a dozen boxes ana by
the time she was thirteen years OF age,
was strong and healthy, weighing ia
pounds"
