and nothing that | ate agreed with me.
[ would have spells when my heart pal
pitated so that would have to lie down.
The constant suffering made me ner-
Yous and weak. Our doctor said my
trouble was indigestion but I could not
see that he helped me although J. doc
tored with him for over two years. L
was naturally discouraged and later
when q friend urged me to take DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People L
bought few boxes for q trial. In q
few days I saw great change. l found
that | could eat without so much dis
tress and began to feel better in every
way. took ten boxes of the pills and
was cured"
