Wonderful Results He Is Now a Well Man From the lieporler Fond du Lac Wis About a year ago The Reporter corre spondent on a trip through Stockbridge Wisconsin was introduced to Mr J W Flower whose appearance was anything but pleasant to one unacquainted with disease and its effects One would think Mr Flower had jaundice or consumption and to the reporter it seemed that he was not long for this world Some six months later the correspondent saw Mr Flower again and there was a very marked im provement in his appearance In reply to a question as to what had been the mat ter with him he stated he did not know exactly but that he had been examined and treated by several physicians who failed to agree as to his ailments Said Mr Flower One stated I had diabetes another in digestion and another said my spleen failed to supply the system with sufficient red corpuscles another said my liver had become hardened and torpid but none of the remedies prescribed did me any good I was cold and weak nearly all the time I had no ambition 1 had chills and then heat flashes I was at times numb and thought I was paralyzed my legs were so weak I could scarcely walk a- block at times I had given up all hope of ever getting better when one day I read an article in The Reporter which spoke of Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People I thought it was about the same as with other patent medicines and paid no attention to it but my wife who had been troubled as most women are concluded to send for a box of the pills to use in her case which she did I read the circular wrapped around the box and concluded to trv them myself unknown to her I had no faith in their doing me any good but much to my surprise after taking them a week I began feeling better and as my wife was also feeling better I told her I was taking the pills I sent for two boxes more and in two mouths 1 was much better My strength has improved ever since and I am still gaining flesh I have regained my appetite and to day I can do as much work on the farm as any man in my employ Then Mr Flower you honestly be lieve that Dr Williams Pink Pills have cured you and your wife questioned the correspondent Yes and I have given them to my chil dren when they complain and on them they work like magic It would be im possible for me to speak too highly of Dr WrViams Pink Pills which I have at all times in my household T commenced to use the Pink Pills in my family about one year and a half ago and find them to do more than they are advertised to do I would not be without them for any price and am always glad to recommend them to all my friends and would advise all others to use them especially those who have suffered as myself and wife have suffered Mr Flower after the interview sub mitted the following
