SAVED BY A FRIEND.

Prom the Evening Pott, Chicago, IU. William H. Theel, who i» employed by the Title, Guaranty and Trust Company, in the Stock Exchange, Chicago, was seen one evening last week at the residence of his parents, 258 East Blackhawk street. His experience is an interesting one inI deed, which will prove more interesting ■ in allowing him to tell it in his awn words. ■ He says: "Some.time ago I had an,attack [ of typhoid fever which kept me inched for several weeks. Having from childI hood always been in very delicate health, I my physician and also my parents feared ; that I must surely succumb to the disease. : But I gradually passed the danger point : and after some time became convalescent, and in due course of time became strong enough to go down town and attend to my clerical duties. But for some reason I could not get back my strength and I found that the effects of the malady were still present in my system. I had no appetite, and the most tempting dishes which my anxious mother could prepare had no attractions for me. I became pale, languid, gained no strength, and, in fact, became weaker day after day. I became morose and peevish, and added to this state of my nervous system there was every evidence of quick consumption—such as short breathing, a deathly pallor, relieved only by hectic flushes and, in fact, a general breaking down of my whole system. My condition was such that my parents became very much alarmed, although of course they did not communicate their fears to me. The fact is that while I saw their alarm and felt myself surely and slowly losing my hold on this life I really did not care, for life had become a burden to me the way that I felt ‘‘lt was while I was in this desperate frame of mind that one day my fellow clerk handed me a pamphlet and two boxes of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills which he brought me from the drug store across the street. 1 took both the boxes and the pamphlet home and showed them to my mother. She was of the opinion that if the medicine would do as it was claimed, it might save my life, and she advised me by all means to give it a fair trial. I djd so, and the result exceeded my fondest hopes. Although I have so far only used three boxes of the pills, the improvement of my general condition is almost marvelous. The severe headaches from which I suffered untold torments have wholly disappeared, my appetite is again good, I eat hearty meals now three times a day and digest the food splendidly, and my strength is returning. My complexion, as you can see for yourself, is quite clear. My lungs are sound and, in fact, I am now a healthy and strong man.” Dr. 'Williams’ Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effect of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, all forms of weakness either in male or female, and all diseases resulting from vitiated humors in the blood. Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price (50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50), by addressing Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
