FER- GUS MERCHANT'S D tUQIITER. Had Been Weals and Sickly From Infancy Neither Doctor Nor .q'riends. Thought She Would Survive—Dr. William's Pink Pills Saved Her Life ---Advice to Barents From the Fergus News -Record. Mr. 0. M. Post,' fruit and confection- ery dealer, St. Andrew street, Fergus, last week related to a representative of the News -Record the sad story of the terrible suffering and sickness of his lit- tle daughter Ella, his only child, now a strong and healthy lithe maiden of ten. years of age. At the time of the child's illness Mr. Post was a resident of Ham- ilton. His story is substantially as fol- lows: "My daughter had been very deli- cate from childhood until about throe years ago, and the money it cost me for doctor's bills made rue poor as it was seldom she was without a doctor's caro, and at times we have had as many as three doctors in attendance and hope of saving her despaired of. The doctors suc- ceeded in keeping her alive, but she was gradually growing worse and we all thought she was going to die. Our ,regu- lar physician had given up hope of sav- ing her life and remarked that if it were only warm weather, (it was then ,winter) there might be a chance But seven sumn- morshad passed' since her birth and she had. gradually become feebler, and my wife mid I thought it was just a matter of time until the child would be called to a better home. About•this time Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were prominently brought to our notice through a cure they wrought in a neighbor's child. I thought I would give thein a trial and so informed the doctor, but he only laughed at the idea of them helping her. How- ever I bought a box of the Pink Pills, and began giving them to her, half a pill at a time. After a short treatment there was such an improvement that neither her mother nor I could doubt that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were help- ing her,'and I decided to abandon the doctor's services altogether. The Pink Pi11 treatment was continued and al- though the progress towards health and strength was necessarily slow, it was none the less certain and it was contin- ued until she is as well and strong as you see her to-day,and I am thankful to say she has bad no occasion for medical treatment since. I am a strong believer in the efficacy of Dr. Wil/hates' Pink Pills, for weak and delicate chiltiren,and I firmly believe it was this medicine that saved my child." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are an round -year medicine ztnd are quite as effi- cacious in the case of children as in adults. They restore to the blood its lacking constituents and make it rich, red and pure. In this way they strength- en the system and drive out disease. There are many cases like the above is which this ^wonderful medicine bas re- stored health and strength after the best medical advice had failed, The genuine Pink Pills are sold in boxes, the wrap- per round which bars the full trade mark, "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. ' There are other pills col- ored pink, but they are base imitations offered only beeauso they give the dealer a greater profit. They should always be refused. Terrible Suffering of an Elora Lady From Itheumatism---Fifteen 'Years a Sufferer, But Cured by Two Enttles of South • American l a rheumatic Cure. No pen can describe the intensity of suffering that may come from an attack of rbeumatism. "For fifteen years," says Mrs. John Beaumont, of Elora, Ont., "I have been more or less troubled with rheumatism, which took the form of pains in my bank, often confining me to my bed, and rendering me part of the time wholly unfit for my duties. At times I suffered so intensely that I could nut turn in my beer, and the disease was fast reaching a point where both myself and my husband had become thoroughly discouraged of recovery. A friend recozn mended South Americana Rheumatic Cure, and after the first bottle I was able to sit up, and before four bottles were taken I was able tu go about as usual, and have been in excellent health ever since."
