Through reading the Advertiser he learned of thOben- efit that several of his friends in thisvicinit had /received by the use of Dr. Williams'illiams' Pink ills, and by the hope held out by their testimonials he secured a supply and took them according to directions. The result was almost magical; immediately his ey ptoms became less dis- agreeabl , and he .stcadily gained until now he is perfe tly free from his old troubles. He gladly gives his testimonial, that all who read it may know the reniedy if ever they are troubled with genersl debility. . _ g:g:;Z!g:":g°g;*C::";g:g4g:og;•t*;lgIV .1z IN.G EDIGINE. •ft.
