SAVED BY A MINISTER FROM A TER
RlBLE DEATH.
The Story of the Rescue as Told by
she Nan tiimself--To the Knowl-
edge and Confidence Of the
Rev. Ernest Graves he
Owes His Life.

David Collins, a coal miner, employed
in one of the mines at New Straitsville,
Ohio. had a narrow escape from a hor-
rible death He tells the story himself
as follows:
while I was at work in the mine"
he SAYS, Il began to notice a feeling or
oppression. 1t came upon me very
gradually but steadily grew worse and
worse until finally became really sick
NV stomach was most affected. It be-
came very sensitive and would not re-
tain food at all. My bowels also
troubled me, my limbs were swollen
ana I had frequent hemorrhages of the
teeth and gums and nose For nine
months I was under a physicians care
but I kept growing worse till was
obliged to stay in bed. After 1 mad
been in bed three days six dlfterent
physicians called and all pronounce
my case incurable. They said had
pernicious anaemia-one Of the most
hopeless of diseases
Then, when the doctors acknowl-
edged that they had done all they could
and I could not take their medicine, nor
could they prescribe anything else, the
Rev. Ernest Graves, pastor of the Bap-
list church here, suggested the use OF
DR. williams Pink Pills for Pale PeO-
pie. My stomach retained the pills
when the physicians medicines pro-
as my nurses could judge immediate
relief followed.
"There is only this to add: My death
was hourly expected and upon taking
Dr. Williams Pink Pills according to
directions left my bed IN few weeks
gnd was on the way to recovery con-
finued their use and was cured. Many
others hereabOuts are using this Won
derful medicine with excellent results
The Rev Ernest Graves, pastor of
the Baptist church, New Straitsville, to
whom Mr.. Collins refers, speaks of his
case as follows:
I'VE have q striking example of what
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale PeO-
pie have done in this community at the
present time, a case that borders on
the miraculous Tt is that of David
Collins, a member of my church and a
very valuable helper in it. A few
months ago he was taken very sick and
was given up to die by six doctors. DR..
Williams Pink Pills cured him, and SO
thoroughly that now this man who the
GectOrs said must die can be found any
day working in the coal mine. I count
1t a great privilege to be able to say
[ advised, nay, rather insisted, upon
his taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
II have great confidence in these pills
and firmly believe them to be all that
is claimed for them. This confidence
has been brought about in various
ways. In the first place this remedy
was brought especially to my notice by
my Wife's brother who had suffered
from anaemia and was cured by DR..
Williams Pink Pills. Since learning of
the fact 7 have always deemed 1t my
duty to advise the use of this medicine
10 ali ! meet who are suffering with
that or kindred disorders"

pie Win never fail to effect cure if
used persistently for a reasonable
length Of time. They may be had of
ali druggists or direct from the DIR.
