"Our son, two years old, was very
much afflicted with a breaking out or

washing with soda water and powdering
with boric acid. Finally, after he suf-
fered with the trouble several weeks /
took him to the doctor. He said it was
merely rash that was quit prevalent,
and that was giving the right treat
ment and that should just continue it
and the baby would soon be all right.
But instead Of getting better it was get
ting worse. The rash ran together and
made large blisters. The little fellow
didn't want to do anything but scratch
and we had to wrap his hands up to
keep him from it as he would tear the
flesh open till the blood would run. The
itching was intense, causing loss Of appe-
tite and flesh. When it seemed to hurt
him most the skin on his back became
hard and rough like the bark Of tree SO
that rubbing or brushing would not
break it. He was so feverish that /
thought it bad case Of eczema. He
could not wear any clothes but little

intensely for about three months. But

Kept the rash from spreading and in less
than q week the result was almost magi-
cal. That was more than two years ago

my doctor treated me for an@mia

grateful for DR.. Williams Pink Pills
My little girl began to grow weak and
seemed to have no strength. We tool
her to two doctors, who examined her
lungs and heart and told us to take her
from school. We were afraid of con-
sumption as the doctor watched her
lungs so closely. During her sickness
we moved here and not wishing to try
another doctor began giving her DR.
Williams Pink Pills. She gained right

resume her school work and is now in
