barely escaped death from progressive
enaciation. To a reporter she told the
following story:
"In 1896 began to have distressing
attacks Of indigestion that continued for
Two years. My stomach was constantly
sore and burned as if it was on fire. 1t
became finally so delicate that it would
not retain even plain water. My inability
to take food reduced my weight to ninety
eight pounds, and faintncss and dizziness
kept me In bed most of the time. was
really starving to death and besides was
extremely nervous. The doctor was
perplexed. He gave me tonics which
did me no good, and prescribed exercise
which l was too weak to attempt.
Zone Gay when I was so faint and
chilled that could do nothing but crouch
down on the floor by the fire, my father
brought me box Of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. I found on trial
that they would stay on my stomach un.
like everything else. really felt better
after three doses and I kept on using
Them. Food began to taste well and to
stay down. The pain and the burning
in the pit Of my stomach lessened and at
last went away altogether. My weight
began to increase until it reached
I65 pounds and my neighbors, who
were convinced that was wasting to
death before, were astonished at the
change. resumed my housework aud

liams' Pink Pills to several friends, and
I say to the pale, thin ones particularly,

These pills cure stomach trouble by
their tonic action, building up the di-
Hagtive organs aud enabling them to do
ths work that nature intended them to
do. They are sold by all dealers, or will
be sent postpaid on receipt of price, fifty
