'ono 8iireretl Croat the Effects or Magill; la Alid int110estlon, the Other from Non, pus Presiratinm-THelr$tory as Told n 'folbuoo Reporter. From the Winntpeg'Tribnue, The modern world is decidedly ekep- ticnl, and in thecase of Dorsa by adver- tised medicines, it is sometimes remarked that they occur at long distanoes, Re gently, however, the Tribune woe told that a Winnipeg • gentleman bad passed through an experience as remarkable as any of those published, and inquiry into the matter revealed the foot that several prominent oitizene of Winnipeg had been greatly benefited by the use of Dr. William's Pink Pills. One of these citi- zens is • W. A. Charlesworth, the well known ocnbraotor,: who during his rasa - dance in Winnipeg has added bo the beauty and wealth of the Prairie Capital by erecting some of the finest and most substantial buildings. Naturally what Mr. Charlesworth would say as to the merits of a medical preparation would be read with interest by the many citizens who have met him in business and socially, and a Tribune reporter was de tailed to get, from him some partioulars in the matter. Mr. Charlesworth was seen at his beautiful and nay home on William street, a few days eines, and while unwilling to attract publicity, yet, for the benefit of those suffering as ha once was lis consented to give a simple statement of his Dasa.. About thirteen years ago, while living in the southern part of Illinois, near Cairo, he had several attacks of malaria fever and ague, which left his blood poor and thin, and so deranged his system that for about ten ysarsafter he was a sufferer from ohronio indigestion. He came north after resid- ing there for some years in order to try to shake off the effects of the malaria, but without much aueoess. He bas nob had, while in the north, another real at. taok of ague, bot every esaaon be has had incipient attaoks, which were only, ward- ed off bar the prompt use of quinine. Billions fever also threatened in the same way. He also suffered severely from in- digestion. Determining to make a de. oided effort to get ridof his complication of disorders, he began in the fall of 1891 to use .Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, the ad. vertisements he had .read in the .news-. papers. Mr. Charlesworth began to use the pills in October, . and for the first month scarcely felt any improvement. However, from that time on improvement was rapid and the effect marvellous. The cold of the winter of 1891-2, as will be remembered, was intense, .and yet so great was the toning up of the system and the enrichment of the blood, that he scarcely felt the cold at all that winter. Hie indigestion was removed, and since that time he hae not bad another attack of malaria fever. He continued taking the pills up to about the middle of Jan; nary. In closing his interview, Mr. Charlesworth said :-"However, do not rely upon my authority alone, but see Mr. Fairchild, who hes used: the pills." The Mr. Fairchild, it isneedless to ray, ie Mr. Frank Fairchild, the largest dealer in vehicles and farm machinery in western Canada. Mr. Fairchild's name is too well known to readers of the Tribune to need any further introduc- tion. He was also seen; and fully con- firmed what Mr. Charlesworth said. Some time ago Mr. Fairchild suffered. from nervous prostration brought on by overwork, and suffered also from a dull pain in .the back of the head, After spending some time in a famous Chicago sanitarium be was advised to take some- thing to build up his blood, the doctors mentioning Pink Pills in their list of things advised. At first be took a fluid preparation, but es he found this un- handy to take with him as he travelled, he decided to try Pink Pills, se Mr. Charlesworth had strongly recommended them. He found great benefit from their use and continued taking them un- til restored to health. He has no hesita- tion in recommending them as a great builder up and purifier of the blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills may be bad of all druggists, or direot by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine' Company, Brookville, Ont., nr Schenectady, N. Y. 50 cents a box or 6 boxes for $2.60. The price at which these pills are cold makes a course of treatment comparatively in. expensive, as compared with other remedies or medical treatment, The Windsor telephone exchange has increased in eight years from 54 to, 800 subscribers.
