Fingers Distorted and Stiffened, the Heel of one foot tight against his hip, Charles Calhoun, Jr., suf-

 EVERY DAY IN THE MILL AT CAPR0N, NY.

worked every day for years now and am entirely we'll and have no trace of my old trouble whatever"
 THE MOTHERS GRATITUDE.
 Mrs Charles Calhoun, Sr., writing re- gardipg her sons case, says: -
 His limbs got so drawn up that his right heel was tight against his hip and we were afraid the disease would cause his early death or leave him a cripple for life. When he began taking the pills he had not walked for three months and after he had taken the third box he could walk as well as ev- CT. Dr Williams Pink Pills were cer- tainly God-send to him and would advise every sufferer to try them. v
 This case is an unusual one but it il- lustrates the wonderful power of Dr Williams Pink Pills in striking way. These pills are tonic for the blood and nerves, are absolutely harmless, and contain no opiate or habit-forming drugs. They build up the blood and through the blood, strengthen the nerves. They cure anaemla and all diseases depending upon or resulting from an anaemic condition such as rheumatism, headaches, neuralgia, sci atica and several forms of partial par alysis and are of marked benefit during convalescence from acute diseases such as grip and wasting levers.
 HOW TO CURE YOURSELF.
 If your are sick and the treatment you are taking does not help you write now, to the Dr Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. r., for proof of what the pills have accomplished in cases similar to yours. They are never ad- vertised to cure anything that we can not prove they have cured.
 Dr Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists or will be mailed, post - paid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes for S250. Booklet on Diseases of the Blood' mailed free on request.

For a generation Dr Williams Pink Pills have been curing rheumatism and other diseases caused by poor blood and during that time certain cures have been published that were so marvellous in their nature that they have been termed modern miracles. Such cure was that of Charles Calhoun, Jr., now living at Capron, N. Y.,and employed in mill there. The facts in the case are widely known in the neighborhood in which MT Calhoun lives and the cure is regarded locally as nothing short of miraculous. ..
 COULD NOT MOVE HIMSELF.
 When the Calhoun family was living at Winfield, N. Y, some years ago the young man was taken sick. "Our fam fly doctor pronounced 1t inhammatory rheumatism" says MT Calhoun, "and he attended me for about year. For nine months was confined to the bed and in such agony that l could not bear the weight of the sheets nor to have anyone touch me. I could not move myself at all.
 CASE SEEMED HOPELESS.
 "The rheumatism was complicated with nervous trouble resembling St Vitus' dance, my limbs and head jerked and I suffered all the agonies possible. Blisters were applied to my knees un- til they left scars but l could not feel them. My fingers began to draw out of shape and get stiff.
 "In spite of the doctors treatment and all the medicine 1 took 1 kept getting worse. My feet swelled so that I could not get stocking on and l could not straighten up at all. Finally the doctor told my father he could do nothing more for me.
 ABLE TO WALK ONCE MORE.
 "At this time Dr Williams Pink Pills were recommended to me and 1 found relief in the first box. After taking three boxes I could walk. l continued to take them steadily until cured. That was in 1895. 1 have

Remember that when the Stom ach nerves fail or weaken. Dyspepsia or Indigestion must always follow. But, strengthen these same weak inside nerves with Dr Shoop's Restorative, and then see how quickly health will again return. Weak Heart and Kidney nerves can also be strengthened with the Restorative. where Heart pains. palpitation, or Kidney weakness is found. Don't drug the Stomach, nor stimulate the Heart or Kidneys.
