There are few if any people in
Murray township, Northumberland
County, to whom the name of Chase
is not familiar. Mr, Jacob Chase,
who has followed the occupation of
farmer and fisherman and fishdealer,
is especially well known. . He has
been t great sufferer from rheuma-
tism, as all bis neighbors know, but
has fortunately succeeded in getting
rid of the disease. To the .reporter
he gave the following particulars. it
had been a sufferer from rheumali•rrf
for upwards of twenty years, at mes
being.eontined to the house. 4t one
time I was laid up for si - en weeks,
and during a port' .n o lat time was
confined to my a' , and perfectly
helpless. I ha f 't benefit of excel-
lent medical tr tment, but it was of
no avail. I believe, too. that I have
tried every medicine advertised for
the care of rheumatism, and I am
sure I expended at least $200.00 and
got necking more at 'any time than
the met.+est temporary relief. At last
I was imdteed to give Dr. Williams'
Pink Mils a trial, and: from that time'
I date, ray good fortune- in getting rid
of the disease.. I continued using.
them for several mouths and daily
found that the trouble-ttlh,at had made -
my life miserable for so many years
was disappearing, and at last all
traces of'pai» had left• me and I was
cured. I say cured, flor I have not
since hada recurrenceef the trouble. '
As proving the diversity of troubles.
for which Th'. Williams' Pink Pills.
are a cure it may also -be mentioned.
that theyrestored Mrs...Frank Chase,
a daughter-in-law of the gentleman..
above referred to, to health ands
strength after all otheet•nieans bad ap,
parently failed. Mrs Chase says i--
"I can scarcely tell what my trouble
was, for even !lectors -could not agree
as to the. nature of it. One said it
was consumption or the stomach,
while another •seas equally emphatic
in declaim -kg that it was liver trouble.
One thing. T do know, and that is Mr
years I was a sick woman. I know
that I was afflicted with neuralgia,
my blood was poor, anal was sltbjpet
to depressing headaches. My appe-
tite wag not good at any time, and
the least exertion left me weak and
despondent: A. lady friend who, had
been benefitted by the use of Dr, Wil-
liams' Pink Pills• advised mo to try
them,, and as they had also cured my
father-in-law,,1 determined to de so,
and 1 have much cause for rejoicing
that 1 did, for you can easily see that
they have made a well woman of me.
I took the pills steadily for a couple
of months, and at the end of that time
was enjoying the blessing et good
health. It gives Me much pleasure
to be able to bear public testimony
to the value of this wonderful medi•
Cine."
