AWFUL PERIL
SAVED BY A MINISTER FROM A
TERRIBLE DEATH.
The Story Of the Rescue as Told BY the
Man HImseIf-To the knowledge
and Confidence Of the Rev. Err
nest Graves He Owes
His Life.

David Collins coal-miner. employed in
one OF the mines at New Straitsville, Ohio.
had a narrow escape from a horrible
death. He tells the story himself as fol-
lows:
while I was at work IN the mine" he
says II began 10 notice a feeling OF OPP
preston. Il came upon me very gradually
but steadily grew worse and worse until
finally became really sick. Ny stomach
was most affected. II became very sensi-
tive and would not retain food at all. My
bowels also troubled me. my limbs were
swollen and I had frequent hemorrhages
OF the teeth and gums and nose. For nine
months was under a physicians care but
1 kept growing worse till was obliged to
stay in bed. After 1 had been in bed three
days six different physicians called and all
pronounced my case incurable. They said
1 had prenicious anaemia-one OF the most
hopeless OF diseases.
Then. when the doctors acknowledged
that they had done all they could. and I
could not take their medicine. nor could
they prescribe anything else. the Rev. Err
nest Graves. pastor OF the Baptist church
here. suggested the use OF DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. My stomach
retained the pills when the physicians
medicines produced the greatest distress.
AS near as my nurses could judge imme-
diately relief followed.
There Is only this to add: My death
was hourly expected and upon taking DR..
Williams Pink Pills according to direc-
tons left my bed in a few weeks and
was on the way 10 recovery. I continued
their use and was cured. Many others
hereaboHts are using this wonderful med
icine 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 a striking example Of what
Or. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
have done IN this community at the pres
ent time. a case that borders on the
miraculous. 1t is that of David Collins,
a member. OF my church and very VAL
liable helper in 1t. 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 doctors said must
die can be found any day working in the
coal-mine. count 1t a great privilege
to be able TO say advised, nay, rather
insisted upon his taking DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.
7 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 I have always
deemed II my duty. 10 advise the use OF
this medicine to all I meet who are suffer
ing with that or kindred disorders"

pie win never fail TO effect a cure IL used

time. They may be had OF all druggists or
