AN ILLINOIS MIRACLE.
A Case of Deep Interest to Women Everywhere. ■■ 1 I • Saved Through a Casual Glance at a Newspaper—Weak, Pale and in a Deplorable Condition When Belief Came—A Remarkable Narrative Carefully Investigated by a Dnbnqne Times Reporter. [Dubuque, lowa Times] Among the peculiar conditions with which the people of the present age are endowed is a remarkable capacity for doubting. The Timet determined upon a thorough investigation into a medical case out in Savannah. IIL, as a matter of news, with the result that the case was even more remarkable than the public had been given to understand. Mrs. Kenyon was a good talker and told the story in a terse way as follows: “I was born in Warren county. New i York, thirty-three years ago. I was married when I was nineteen and came to Savannah seven years ago. With the excepi tion of being at times subject to violent sick headaches, I considered myself a healthy woman up to five years ago. At that time 1 1 was very much run down and an easy prey to the ever present malaria in and about the Mississippi bottom lands. I was taken violently ill The local physicians said I was affected by malaria and intermittent I fever. I continually grew weaker and flnally went to see Dr. McVey, of Clinton, lowa, who is reputed to be one of the ablest physicians in the Mississippi valley. He treated me for a time without beneficial effects. I then consulted a prominent doctor of Savannah. My stomach would not retain the medicine he gave me and he came to the conclusion that my stomach was badly diseased. Occasionally I would choke down and nearly suffocate. I then went to Dr. Maloney and he pronounced it a case of , heart trouble. He helped me only temporarily. All this time I had grown weaker and paler until I was in a deplorable condition. I had a continual feeling of tiredness, my muscular power was nearly gone, and I could not go up half a dozen steps without resting, and often that much exercise would cause me to have a terrible pain in my side. Seemingly the blood had left my veins. I was pale as death; my lips were blue and cold and I had given up all hope of ever getting better. My husband insisted that J should take some of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. When these had been used I was somewhat improved in health. I continued their use and felt I was growing stronger, my sleep refreshed me and it seemed as if I could feel new blood coursing through my veins. I kept on taking Pink Pills until a 1 short time ago and now I consider myself a healthy, rugged woman. My house is full i of boarders and I superintend all the work j myself. In other words, I work all the I time and am happy all the time. lam posi- j tive that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People saved my life, and I believe there are thousands of women who could find great relief if they used them. The sick headaches I vzas subject to from girlhood have disappeared, and 1 have not had a single attack since I commenced taking Dr. ■ Williams' Pink Pills.” One of her neighbors said: “Mrs. Kenyon’srecovery is something marvelous. She was reduced to a mere shadow, and was the palest and most ghost-like person I had ever seen. If miracles are notperfonned in these , days I would be pleased to know how to de- ■ scribe a case of this kind.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, it seems, 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 i locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. 1 Vitus’ dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effects of ■ i the grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and ' sallow complexions, that tired feeling resuiting from nervous prostration; all diseases resulting from vitiated humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities, and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood and restore the glow of health to pale or sallow cheeks. In men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork, or excesses of whatever nature. These Pills are manufactured by the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, Schenectadv, N. Y., and Brookville, Ont., and are sold In i boxes at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for : $2.50, and are never sold in bulk.
