A COAL MINERS
AWFUL peril
SAVED BY A MINISTER FROM A
TERRIBLE DEATH.
The Story of the Rescue as Told by
the Man Himself--To the Knowl-
edge and Confidence Of Rev.
Ernest Graves He Owes
His Life.

David Collins, a coal miner, employed
in one of the mines at New Straitsville,
Ohio, had n narrow escape from a hor-
rible death. He tells the story himself
as follows:
while l was at work in the mine,"
he says, II began to notice u feeling OF
oppression. 1t came upon me very grad
ually but steadily grew worse and
worse until finally became really sick.
My stomach was most affected. j be-
came very sensitive and would not re-
tain food at all. My bowels also troub-
led me, my limbs were swollen and l.
had frequent hemorrhages of the teeth
and gums and nose. For nine months I
was under a physicians care but kept
growing worse till 1 was obliged to stay
in bed. After had been in bed three
days six different physicians called and
all pronounced my case incurable. They
said I had pernicious anaemia-one of
the most hopeless of diseases.
"Then. when the doctors acinowl-
edged that they had done all they could.
and could not take their medicine, nor
could they prescribe anything else, the
Rev. Ernest Graves, pastor of the Bap-
tist' church here, suggested the use OF
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie. My stomach retained the pills
when the physicians medicines pro-
duced the greatest distress AS near as
my nurses could judge immediate re-
lief 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 a few weeks
and was on the way to recovery. I
continued their use and was cured.
Many others hereabouts are using this
wonderful medicine with excellent re-
suits"
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 a striking example of what
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie have done in this community at the
present time, case that borders on the
miraculous. 1t is that Of David Collins,
Il 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
day working in the coal mine. ! count
it a great privilege to be able to say
j advised, nay, rather I 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. The conf
dence has been brought about in va
rious ways. In the first place this
remedy was brought especially to my
notice by my wife's brother who had
suffered from anaemiu and was cured
by Dr. Williams Pink Pills. Since
learning of the fact ] have always
deemed it my duty to advise the use
of this medicine to all l meet who are
suffering with that or kindred disor-
ders.'

People will never fail to effect u cure if
used persistently for a reasonable
length of time. They may be had of all
druggists or direct from the Dr.. Will
liams Medicine Co., six 80 cent boxes
