nounced my case hopeless. Then,
when they acknowledged they had
done all they could, and I could not
take their medicine nor could they
prescribe anything else, the Rev Ern-
est 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 nurse
could judge immediate relief followed.
"There is only this to add: Ny 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 road to recovery.
I continued their use and was cured"
BAPTIsT MINISTER TEsTIFIEs.
The Rev Ernest Graves, pastor of
the Baptist church, New Straitsville,
to whom Mr. Collins refers, speaks of
the case as follows:
"We 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, 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
doctors said must die can be found any
dav working in the coal-mine. I count
it a great privilege to say I advised,
nay, rather insisted upon his taking
DR. Williams Pink Pills..

pallid complexion, pale lips, dull eyes,

upon going upstairs; paIpitation of
the heart; feeling of impending death;
weakness, loss of appetite and ambi-
tion. II left to itself it is apt to re-

The one remedy that has proved it

A MINE WORKERS TESTIMONY.
Conditions in the Mines Compared with Those Our Shops and
Factories.-The Experience of David Collins Suggests
Remedy.-His Evidence Substantiated by
That Of Baptist Clergyman.

A Wilkesbarre physician, testifying
before the presidents, arbitration COM
mission, declared that fully 80 per
cent of the men who work in the coal
mines are an9mic, their health i'm
poverished and their general condition
below par, thus decreasing their earn
ing powers. The word 'anamic" is a
medical term used to describe a condi-
tion in which the blood is deficient in
quality, giving the victim pallid look,
dull eyes and listless manner.
That 90 of every 100 miners are afflict-
ed with this disease is a revelation to
most people, but fact of much deeper
concern is that the conditions that
promote this disease exist in the shops
and factories in almost every city
throughout the country.
Physicians who appeared before the
commission testified that life is Shor-
tened by work in the coal mines. 1t is
equally true that hundreds of thous-
ands Of men and women at work in our
great factories will die sooner because
Of being there.
The testimony adduced before the
commission Is substantiated by the
following evidence given by one of the
coal miners whose experience not only
points out danger, but shows that 9
remedy is at hand.
