WELL NO STRONG AFTER ELEVEN YEARS OF GREAT SUFFERING. A Wonderful Tribute to the Power of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to Cure Blubber') Diseases. Proof upon proof has accumulated that 1)r. Williams' Pink Pills will cure when doctor, hospital treat- ment and all other medloines tail. Paralyzed limbs have been restored to istrengtie rheumatic sufferers made well, weak, anaemic girls and women made aright, native and' Ed:tonal neuralgic pains banished, ancethe poor dye-pepti0 given a new( digestion when it • seemed almost hopeless to expeot a cure. Here Is a bit of "strong proof that Dr. Williams' Pink Pins bring health and etrengta after years of suffering. Mr. Louis Brien is a well-known ,resident of St. Didace, Que., and tells of his years or suffering as follows: "Ea - even years agO, while working in the bush, I strained myself and brought on terrible pains in my, ',stomach and back, where the trouble to locate. I had frequent Tits of vomiting, wbich caused much dis- tress. Sometimes I could work, and then again for months at a time 1 would be wholly unable to do any- thing; but even at the time I could work I was always suffering. At different time I was treated by three doctoes ,but they were unable eci help me. Thep I went to Mon- treal and pat myeelf under the care elf a (lector there. His medicine re- lieved me wbile I was inaotive, but as soon as I attempted week or ex- ertion of any kind, the pains re- turned worse. than belore. All this time I was growing weaker and less able to resist the inroads of the trou- ble. Then Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were brought to my notice, and I began to regain ma health and by the time I lia.d need thirteen boxes I was onto move a well, strong man. The proof of tills is that I jean do as bard a day's work as anyone and never ivave the slightest symptoms of the old trouble. I am °Aix; 'sorry, that I did not know. of tee palls sooner—theywould have saved me ucb suffering and money as 'well." With such proof as this, tbat even apparegatly hopeless cases can be cured, there can be no reasonable doubt that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will restore health at all cases where given a fair „trial.
