My wife thought l was go- ing to die and sent for doctor. He gave me some medicine and advised liquid diet. On the following Wedaes- day l had another attack and was in such agony that the doctor gave me something to deaden the pain.
 "I suffered a great deal for the next two years and was under the care of two doctors for the greater part of the time. One called my trouble acute indigestion, the other liver trouble. was so weak that was often in bed for several days at a time. Some timesI felt strong enough to get up, , but not to work. ! "The doctors medicine didn't help :. me. was Respondent and had about :, given up hope of a cure. Some of my z friends kept urging me so strongly to take Dr Williams Pink Pills, that l finally consented. r "The first box made me more hope T full than had been since l was taken sick. began to sleep better, eat hearty and was able to work in a few e weeks. l was cured and have felt b we'll and strong ever since" 2 If you have stomach trouble, begin It ;o-day to cure yourself.
