says: "For two years 1 suffered untold
misery, and at all times could not walk,
and any standing position gave intense
pain, the result of kidney disease. Local
physicians could not help me, and I was
continually growing wors'.which alarmed
family and friends. Seeing South Ameri-
can Kidney Cure advertised, tied, I grasped at
it as a dying man will grasp .at anything.
Result—More half a bottle had been
taken I was totally relieved
of pain, and
two bottles entirely cared me." To care
kidney disease a liquid medicine must be
taken, and one that is a solvent, and
can thus dissolve the sand -like particles
in the blood.

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."
