"It was soon after the- birth of my llttlo boy," she said. "Three different doctors hnil done their best for me, but they nil failed to do me good. My case seemed to be a combination of nervous and stomach troubles. I had fainting spells, my food did not digest and caused 1110 great distress. My head felt very bndly at times I was delirious. I lost In weight from 130 to 08 pounds, I had no color, my feet and hands were cold and my limbs had 11 prickly sensation as though asleep. I was not refreshed by sleep although I slept heavily. "I learned of Dr. William's Pink Pills from u published case similar to mine that had been cured by the pills. I took three or four boxes before I wns certain thnt I was being benefited but continued their use until I was en tirely. cured. "I am glad to recommend Dr. Will iam's Pink Pills for Pale People for they are tho medicine that saved my life. I do not believe that ordinary medicine could have cured me." Although Mrs. Tucker's was a severe ease, Dr. Williams' Plri'k Pills cured her. Lesser troubles yield even more readily to the potent action of this marvelous medicine. Not only will these pills cure cases similar to Mrs. Tucker's but they have been proven to be an unfailing specific for such dis eases as locomotor ntaxla, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous head ache, after-effects of grip, of fevers and of other acute diseases, palpita tion of the heart, pale and sallow com plexions and all forms of weakness either in male or female.
