On making known the object of his visit the reporter was invited into the house and Mr. Conklin gave his story as follows: - Yon can see for youself that my condition is now one of good health and yet I have been near death's door. A year ago last summer I injured my hand, with the result that blood poisoning set in; A doctor was called in and the usual treaneent given and the hand apparently got well and I started to work: It soon turned out, .however, (.bat the poison had not been entirely got rid of and it spread through rny whole system. The doc- tor was again called in, but looking upon my case as critical, advised me to go to the hospital at Belleville. This 1 did and remained there throughout the mouth of October, 1897. My con- dition was desperate, and as 1 was not making any progress toward recovery, I may frankly say that I gave my case up as hopeless. Believing that I could not recover, I asked to be taken home. I then tried varioas treatments with -no better results. I could not walk without help, and I was doubled up like a. jack-knife. At this stage I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and sent for half a dozen boxes. After using the firse half dozen my appetite returned end eight sweats which had been the bane of my sleep- ing hours deseeted me. Knowing that the pills were helping me I sent for a further supply. Meantime it swelling came in my hip, which finally broke, aetl from that on my progress was more rapid and I an again as sound as ever, and able to do a day's work with any one. I can only add that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills brOught me to my present state of good health and so long as I live I shall praise the remedy that brought 1110 back from the yerge of' th e grave. • Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure by going to the root of the disease.
