A BARBER'S STORY
The Idea a Travelling Man Put Into
His Head.
Tie Vouches for the Truth of a State
merit That None but Skeptics Will
Question.

| An interesting story is told of how
| good fortune came to barber in
Dover N. j. Hulet Seybold, Jr.. the
| man in question, who lives at No. 4e
Fairview avenue, vouches for it's truth
| and relates his experience as follows:
About two years ago" he saws. AZ
| began to run down in health. NV
| stomach refused to do its work food
would not digest gas formed, became
constipated, lost appetite and grew Sc
| nervous as to seriously interfere with
my work. | also became bilious and
felt tired all the time. 1t was a severe
case of nervous dyspepsia and almost
despaired of ever getting well.
Through the recommendation of a
travelling man ! began to take DR.. Will
iams' Pink Pills for Pale People and
in very short time | could see that
| they were doing me good A few boxes
cured my trouble and I have had no
return of it since. My wife is now
taking this remedy with excellent re-
suits"
What DR.. Williams Pink Pills did
for Mr.. Seybold they will do for others
similarly afflicted as is proved by
thousands of cases on file. DR.. Will
liams Pink Pills cure stomach trouble
by their tonic action, building up the
digestive organs and enabling them to
Go the work that nature intended them
to do. Artificial ferments and pre-
dlgested foods weaken the stomach in
many cases. Medicines should not do
the stomach's work but should put it
III condition to perform it's natural
functions. A diet book giving useful
information will be sent on request by
the Dr. Williams Medicine Company.
