The Most SkepticaI.

prescription, used by an eminent prac-
ttioner, and for nearly a generation
known as reliable household remedy
throughout the United States. Need
less TO say, no advertised medicine could
retain popular favor for so long period
without having great merit and it is the
invaluable curative properties of tho pills
that have made them standard remedy
in every civilized country in the world.
Added to this is the absolute guarantee
that the pills contain no harmful drug,
opiate. narcotic or stimulant. A recent
evidence of their efficacy is found in tho
statement of Mrs. N. B. Whitley, of
Boxlcy, Ark, who says:
Il had suffered for good many years
from stomach trouble. For long time
was subject to bad spells of faintness
and lack of breath accompanied by an
indescribable feeling that seemed 10
start in my stomach. Whenever j was
little rundown or over.tired, these
spells would come on. They occurred
frequently but did not last very long.
II was confined TO my bed for ten
weeks one time and the doctor pro-
nounced my trouble chronic inflamma-
ton of the stomach and bowels. Since
that time / have been subject to tho
fainting spells and at other times to fiut-
tering of the heart and feeling M
though / was snlothering My general
health was very bad and was weak and
trembling.
II had seen DR.. Williams Pink Pills
mentioned in the newspapers and do
cided to try them. When l began taking
the pills was so rundown in strength
that could hardly do any homework.
Now could walk ten miles if necessary.
Both my husband and myself think DIR.

made and we always recommend tho
pills TO our friends"
