A HACKING COUGH
AFFLICTED TUE SUFFERER FOR
TWENTY YEARS.
Often Sat Up in Bed Coughing tit
Whole Night Long -Doctors Intim
ately Told Rim the Trouble was
DevelopingLto Consumption --How
Relief was obtained.
From the Times, Pitton, Ont.
Nothing racks the body more than
a, severe cough. If it is allowed to
run foe any length of time, it is very
hard to get rid of, and often leads to
that most dreaded of all diseases -
consumption. Such a sufferer was
31r. Thomas Jinks of Prince Edward
county. . Mr Jinks relates the fol-
lowing facts to a Picton Times re-
porter; -"I am sixty-seven years of
age, and for the last twenty years I
have had a bad cough. I was troub-
led with catarrh, whieh started in
my bead, but later spread to m
stomach, leaving me dyspeptic. For
two years I was troubled with pains
in the stomach, arid was not able to
raise nay arms above my head with
out experiencing severe pains about
my short ribs and stomach. Then
my kidneys begao to trouble me and
at times I could not get out of a
chair evithout help- My limbs and
feet were often so swollen that I was
linable to lace my boots, but as soon
as the swelling went down I was but
a mere shadow. My wrists and
arms were so shrunken that I could
span them with ease, My cough
racked my whole body. I have sat
up in bed ancl coughed the whole
t long. I tried several doctors
eithout success. They finally told
nie I was in the first stages of con-
sumption. In the spring of 1899, a
little pamphlet was thrown in the
halt dour telling: about De. 'Williams'
Pink Pills, and 1 deckled to try them.
Before finishing the second box. I
noted a change and after using them
for a couple of months, I was comple-
tely enred and the cold had left me.
At .pt•esent my health is as good as I
can wieh ,for, mid. I can truly say
through all my suffering, I never got
t relief until I took D
any permanen 1.
Wil Item's' Pink Pills."
Mr_ Jinks added that it was not in
hi$ Own case alone that Dr. Williams"
Pink. Pille had proved of advantage in
his family- His daughter, Miss Mild
red, was in very poorhealth, ancescar-
cely able to go around. In Tact, her
friendsefeae.ed her trouble was devel-
oping into dropsy, She 'used five box-
es of the pills and is now enjoying the
very best of healtb, ,
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure such
apparently hopeless cases as Mr.
Jinkse be,t•ause they make new, rich,
red 'blood, and thus reach the root
of the trouble. These pills are the
00 y medicine offered the- public that
can show a record of such marvellous
cures after doctors bad failed. If
you are at all unwell, ,this medicine
will restore you to health but be
sure you get the genuine Nvitl) the full
