N PAIN FOR YEARS

MRS. FRANK EATON
Yrankville, Ont., Sept. 27, 1909.
"I suffered for years from headaches
and pain in the back, and I cousulted
doctors and took every remedy obtain-
able without any relief. Then I began
taking "Fruit -a -fives", the funous fruit

medicine that ever did me any real good.
I took several boxes altogether, and
now I ata entirely well of all my dread-

Vignory turned pale and took tho

"'fhe imposture is evident," he
said after having glanced at it;
"it is eye n very clumsily done ; this
letter must have been dictated by

"To one of his friends, no doubt.
I do not know elle handwriting."
"But intimate as you 'were, you
