~ hare recommended DR.. Williams
Pink Pulls to many people," said Mrs.
Gossett, "because I have seen such good
results, time after time, right in my own
I family. There are three of us who have
no doubt about their merits. We do not
need to take anybody's word on the sub.
ject for our own experience has taught us
how we'll they deserve praise.
at was just about ten years ago that
I first read about DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, and bought my first box. 1 was at
that time ell run down, weak, nervous
and without ambition. I had been doc.
toring all summer for malaria and
stomach trouble. Everybody thought I
was going into consumption, as my
mother had died of that disease.
"Thanks to DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
I am now alive and hearty. I began to
improve as soon as I began to take them,
and when I had taken three boxes I wasa
we'll woman. Everyone wonders how I
keep so well and am able to care for my
home and six children without help.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills explain it.
my Oldest girls health began to fail
when she was about fourteen. She was
nervous, complained of sharp pains in
her head, would get deathly sick and
have to leave the schoolroom to get fresh
air to revive her. Igave some pills to her.
She took only few boxes, but they cured
her troubles, and caused her to develop
into q perfect picture Of health. Then my
husband took them for rheumatism and
found that they would cure that too. So
; you see we have all got great good from
using them, and that is why we recon-.
mend them 70 others"
Mrs. Minnie B. Gossett lives at
Uhrichsville, Tuscnrawas Co., Ohio, and
Is we'll known, rs she has resided in the
same neighborhood for more than thir.
teen years. Her story shows that a
medicine which makes the blood sound
and the nerves strong, overcomes n vari.

every household. DIR. WILLIAMSBURG Pills
are sold by all druggists everywhere.
They have cured anaemia, and all forms
of weakness, also the most stubborn
cases of dyspepsia and rheumatism.
They are Indispensable for growing girls.
