He says t " I was troubled with shortness of breath, palpitation of the heart and a general debility. My back also pained 111 a severely. " I tried one doctor after another and numerous remedies suggested by my friends, but without apparent benefit, and began to give tip hope. Then I saw Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People extolled in a bt. Louis paper and after investigation, decided to give them a trial. " After using the first box I felt wonderfully relieved and was satisfied that the pills were putting uie on the road to recovery. I bought two more boxes and Continued taking them. " After taking four boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People I ant restored to good health. I feel like a new man, and having the will and energy of my former days returned, I am capable of transacting my business within- . creased ambition.
