I began to feel discouraged when I would think of the work neces sary for me to do. I got some medi cine from the doctor whom I consult ed, but it did not appear to meet my case as I showed no improvement while taking It. Then a-neighbor ad vised me to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and I got a supply of this medi cine. I very soon found they were helping me, and I continued their use until I was well again', and I have been strong and well ever since.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills do one thing—and do it well.
