From the Fabo, 'Marton, Ont,
The Echo presents to its readers the
following plain abatement of fact, with
the simple comment that a medicine
that can perform so remarkable a cure is
simply invaluable, and it is no wonder
Mutt the aggregate of its sales throughout
the country is enormous.
I, Richard B. Collins, hereby make the
following statement, which can be con-
firmed by any number of witnesses in
this seotion of the country. I first began
to complain about fire years ago. I had
then been worlting in a fish shanty, and
was wet almost all the time, Summer
and Winter. I was then confined to the
house for three months. This was my
first attack and on getting better I com-
menced work again, the Bret of the fol-
lowing February, and confined at it
until the next January when I took a
much worse attack. The doctors pro•
nounoed it eheonuttism, and after treat•
ing me for that disease until about the
first of May, they disoovored that my
trouble was disease of the hip joint and
advised me to go to au hospital. I went
to Toronto and stayed iu the hospital
live weeks and then returned home. I
however, did not recover, and was com-
pelled during the following summer to
go bask to the hospital! where I remain-
ed three months, getting worse all the
time, I was told that I could not be
cured and when I left was only able to
walk by the aid of orutahee. I then
came home and was not there long be•
fore I was taken to my bed. i continued
in this state until January following,
when I was advised by several friends
to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I took
their advice and before I had finished the
fifth box I began to improve, and by the
time I had completed a dozen boxes I
was able to walk without crutches, and
have never need them since. I was
able to do light work in a short time, and
i t Jaunary last (1897) I commenced
working in the woods and have no trouble
from the hip unless overexerted, Our.
tog the last threw years I have spent

before X began baking Pink Pills during
my last cutter, i put in many a night so
bad that I never expected to bo alive in
