CONSUMPTION AVERTED.

From the Herald, Peoria, 111 More than four years ago Mrs. Cyrus T. King, of Williamsfield, Illinois, was taken sick and for three years treated with five of the best physicians of Peoria, 111. None of them seemed able to understand the nature of her ailment. Finally one physician declared she was suffering from a tumor in the abdomen. This she took medicine for until it was dried up, but still there was no improvement in her condition. “Finally,” to use Mrs. King’s own words; “my condition became such that all of my friends declared it was a mere matter of time until my death would follow. All thought I had consumption. 1 was compelled to lay down two or three times during the day even if I did not work at all, and I was able to do only the lightest. One evening I was sitting in a chair while my husband was lying on the lounge reading a magazine. He read the advertisement of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and turning to mo said, ‘Jennie, you ought to try those pills. Goodness knows you are pale enough/The next day I tried to get a box at the drug store in town, but they had none, so I sent to the firm for them and got half a dozen boxes. I had no more than taken one box until an improvement was noted in my condition. It was but a very short while until I was able to take up my work again and I began to Rapidly gain flesh. My blood, which had been like water, became healthy and strong, and I never felt better in my life. I forgot to say that while first sick I had rup tured one of the inner walls of the abdomen. For three years I had been compelled to wear a truss and bandage. That I think had considerable to do with my weakly condition. I had not taken the pills more than a week or ten days until I took the truss and bandage off, and it has not been necessary for me to wear it ever since. I had weighed but eighty-five pounds when sick, but in a Bhort while my weight had increased to 118. I am fully convinced that I owe my life to the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. “Not only myself has been benefited by the pills, but many of my neighbors who took them on my recommendation are now enjoying perfect'health where before they could hardly do their work. I was the first in this neighborhood to get them, but soon many of the surt-ouuding farmers were sending for them, and now the local druggist always keeps a good stock on hand. “Early this spring I met with a severe accident that threw me back for a while, but I got six boxes of the pills and am now feeling just as well as ever.” The four little children of Mr. and Mrs. King, two boys and two girls, are strong and healthy looking, and the mother says they are kept so by taking the pills when they feel bad. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, all the elements neces* sary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities and all forms of weakness. In men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of whatever nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes only at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all druggists, or direct by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.
