HEALTH IN OLD AGE.

A Reporter’s Interesting Interview with a Lady of Seventy-two Tears, Who Tells a Marvelous [Story. _ From the Union, Port Jervh.'. N. Y. j But a short time ago,-in a distant’partof the country, we heard of a cure by th® use“of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, which seemed almost marvelous, aigl more recently another,, substantial evidence of their value reached our ears. Being of an inquiring turn of mind. and wishing to know just how much there was in the story, a reporter was sent to interview the person said to be thus benefited. If the narrative as it had reached our ears was true, it was only simple justice to let it be known—if it proved untrue, it would be well to knqw it. The person alluded to above as having been thus greatly benefited by the use of Pink Pills is Mrs. .lane Hotalen. of Hainesville. N. J., a pleasant hamlet in Sussex County,, about fifteen miles from this office. The reporter had no difficulty in finding Mrs. Hotalen. It was nearly noon when we reached her pleasant home, a double house, one part of which is occupied by her son. She is.a pleasant-faced old lady, lookirtgtO/be about siXty-live, but is in reality seventytwo years of age. After a few preliminary remarks in explanation of, the call, she was asked if she had any objection to giving us the details "of the case and how she* ca'me to try this now famous remedy. • . “Not at all,” said she. “If my experience can be of any good to others, I’am sure they are welcome to it—it can ddaue no harm.” “When were you taken sick and what was the nature of the malady?” was asked. "It was about two years ago. The trouble was rheumatic in character—sciatica. they called it—and it was very painful indeed. The difficulty began in my hip and extended the whole length of the limb, crippling me completely. ’ I_ suffered intensely from it, and the ordinary treatment gave me not the slightest alleviation. I was under treatment about a month asstated, but grew worse instead of better, and was fast becoming discouraged.” “What brought Pink Pills to your notice?”-;;- <-> “.My son called my attention to an article in a paper, in which it was stated that_ a Mr. Struble, of Branchville, a village in this county, had been greatly benefited by their use. and suggested that it would be a good plan to try them. But I was skeptical in regard to their value—in fact, I had no 1 confidence in their efficacy and rather laughed at the suggestion. But the trouble increased and I was badly crippled. A few days later my son was about to vjgit a neighboring town and suggested again that it might be well to try this much-talked-of remedy, and I then He bought me a box of them and I began taking them at once. At the end of a week I noted a marked iffiprovement, and by the time I had taken the first box I was able to wall!'without a cane. I continued their use, taking several boxes, and am, as you see, in a very comfortable state of health.” “Have you had any return of the trouble?!’.-, . , , ■. . “Not as yet, though at my time of life, seventy-two, it would not be surprising if 1 should have. If it comes, I’should at once begin the use of the pills. I suppose I inherit a tendency to troubles of this kind—my mother died from them.” “Did you ever note any ill effects from the use of Pink Pills?” “None whatever. They never disturbed my stomach in any way or caused me any annoyance. Neither did I find it necessary to increase the dose, as the directions say may be desirable. lam able, as you see, to attend to my own work.” The reporter thanked Mrs. Hotalen for her courtesy and ba.de good day. It is not often that one can witness such a complete recovery from such a pertinacious trouble at such an advanced age, and sflch instances cannot fail th produce a profound impression. Readers of the Union may rely on the absolute accuracy of all the statements here given—nothing has been exaggerated, nothing withheld. 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 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 sn receipt of price, 50 cents a box. or six boxes for $2.50, by addressing Dr. Williams’ MedjcineCp.,Schenectady. N. Y. ■’
