The Story of the Eycit a Told by AIM.
Tnckcr-A Horrible Bxpirlcwc with
Happy Boding
How Mrs. Anna M. Tucker, of vfl.".2
Kossuth avenue, Utlcn, N. V., wim
saved from u horrible fnto when death's
jaws wero utmost closing upon her r Is
fold In the following statement tiiiulo
by her to a reporter.
"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. Dr. William's
Pink Pills for Pale People nre sold by
all dealers, or will be sent postpaid on
receipt of price, fifty cents a box, or
six boxes for two dollars and a half
(they are never sold In bulk or by the
hundred) by addressing Dr. Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.
They act dircetly on the blood and
nerves. Avoid Imitations; substitutes
never cured anybody.
