Father of Sixteen Thought End Near
Told Wife What to do With
Children When He Died.

What is probably the most remark
able Endorsement ever given pro-
prietary medicine was the statement
made recently by H. j. Williams, a
coal miner at the Tennessee Coal &
Iron Co., mine No. s, near Fairfield,
Ala, in the Birmingham district.
The story of his wonderful restor-
alton to health was told in his own
words, and is profoundly interesting.
His statement follows:
81 am "a years of age, and am the
father of sixteen children, eight living
and eight dead, came to Birming-
