FACTS GUARANT EED
NEURALGIA AND AN&MlA ARE
CURED BY PINK PILLS.
Showing the Power OF this Wonderful
Prescription Over the Blood
And Nerves.

For nearly a generation the people Of
this country have known DR. Williams
Pink Pills, during which time proof Of
thousands of cures by this remedy has
been published and confirmed and not
one person has been harmed in the slight
cot degree by their use. The pills con-
tain no opiate, narcotic or stimulant,
nor any drug which could injure the
most delicate constitution.
Two cases in one family is ereditable
showing as to the efficacy of DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills in disorders of the
blood and nerves and the following cases
may easily be investigated by the in
credulous:
"For over year, says Miss Charlotte
Van Salisbury, of Castleton, N Y, Il
suffered from neuralgia and palpitation
of the heart. Ny skin was pale and sal
low and WAS troubled with dizziness,
faintinR spells and fits Of Indigestion.
was very nervous and would start at the
slightest sound. At times great weak
ness would come over me and on one oc-
casion my limbs gave way under me and
l fell to the sidewalk
"Of course l was treated by our local
physicians and also consulted noted
doctor at Albany, but nothing they gave
me seemed to benefit me. One day
read in a newspaper about DR., Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and | imme-
diately gave them trial. | soon felt
much better and my color had begun to
return. | continued using the pills and
by the time l had taken eight boxes l
was entirely cured.
My sister, Sarah Van Salisbury, suf
fered terribly from anamia. She was
pale and thin and we feared that she
would become n victim of consumption.
She tried DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People and in short time she be-
gan to gain in strength and weight.
She is now strong and well and we both
heartily recommend DR.. Williams Pink
Pills to all who are in i'll health.
