and to rest my back. l had spells OF vom-
iting, could not eat in fact, did not dare
to, had such distress after eating. My
stomach WAS filed with gas which caused
me awful agony.
1.-THE backache suffered was at times
almost unbearable and the least exertion
made my heart beat so fast that l could
hardly breathe. But the worst of all was
the splitting neuralgia headache which
never left me for seven weeks.
About the last OF August DIR. VIII
liams' Pink Pills were recommended to
me by DR.. J. II. Murphy. Of Dexter, Me-,
and l gave them trial. About this
time had had several numb spells. My
limbs would be cold and without any
feeling and the most deathly sensations
would come over me.
Nothing had helped me until began
taking DIR. Williams Pink Pills, in fact,
l had grown worse every day. After /
had taken the pills short time I could
see that they were benefiting me and
one morning swoke entirely free from
pain. The distress after eating disap-
peared and in three weeks / could eat
anything wanted and suffer no incon-
yenience. also slept soundly. have
taken several boxes of the pills and have
gained in weight from l20 to l54 pounds
and am perfectly well now"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cure an@mia

other city of the same size. Lowell
people know the value of this old med.

If you only knew what Father John.
Medicine would do for you. If YOU
