AN OU) LADY FINDS THE TRUE
SOURCE OF VITALITY.
A Reporter's Interesting Interview With
A Udy of Seventy-two Tenrs.
Whs Tells n Marvslens
Story.
From the Union Port Jervla, N. T.
But a short time ago, In a dlataal
part of the country, we heard of a
cure by the use of Dr. Wllllnms' Pink
Pills, which seemed almost marvelous,
and more recently another substantial
evidence of their value reached our
ears. Being of an Inquiring turn ef
mind, and wishing to know Just how
much there was In the story, a reporter
waa sent to Interview the person said
to be thus benefited If the narrative
as It had reached our ears was true
It wae only simple Justice to let It he
known—If It proved untrue, it woafld be
well to know It.
Tho person alluded to above ns having
been thus greatly benefited by the use
of Pink Pills Is Mrs. Jane llotalen. of
llalnesvllle, N. J.. a pleasant hamlet In
Sussex County, about fifteen rnlles from
this office. The reporter bad no dlffi
oulty In finding Mrs. Hotalcn. After a
few preliminary remarks In explanation
of the call, ahe was asked If she had
any objection to giving us the details
of the case and how ahe came to try
this now famous remedy.
•Not at all," said she. "If my expe
rience can be of any good to others 1
am sure they are welcome to It—-it can
do me no harm.’’
"When were you taken sick and what
was the nature of the malady?" was
askad.
"It waa about two years ago The
trouble was rheumatic In « haraeter -
sciatica, they called It—and It was very
painful Indeed. The difficulty began In
rny hip and extended the whole length
of the limb, crippling m< completely.
I Buffered Intensely from II, and the or
dinary treatment gave m< not the
■lightest alleviation. 1 was under treat
ment about a month as staled, but grew
worse Instead of better, and wae fast be
coming discouraged." A,
"What brought Pink Pills to your
notice?"
"My son called my attention to an
article In a paper, In which It was stated
that a Mr. fltnible, of Branchville, a
village In this county, had been greatly
benefited by their use, and suggested
that It would be a good plan to try
them. But I was skeptical In regard
to their value In fact, I had no con
fidence in their efficacy, and rather
laughed at the suggestion But »h*
trouble Increased and I was badly crip
pled. A few 'lays later my son was
about to visit a neighboring town and
suggested again thHt It might be well
1,0 try inn iciik u/,
I then consented He bought roe a bo*
of them, and 1 begun taking them at
once. At the end of a week I noted a
marked Improvement, and by the time
I had taken the llrst box I was able to
walk without a cane. I continued thfclr
use, taking several boxes, and am, as
you see. In a very comfortable state of
health.”
"Have you had any return of the
trouble?”
"Not aa yet, though at my time of
life, seventy-two. It would not he sur
prising if I should have. If It comes f
should at once begin the use of the pills.
I suppose I Inherit a tendency to
troubles of this kind my mother died
from them.”
"Did you ever note any III effects from
the use of Pink Pills?"
"Nope whatever. They .never dis
turbed my stomach In any way or
caused me any annoyance. I am able,
as you see, to attend to my own work
The reporter thanked Mrs Hotalen
for her courtesy and bade her good
day. It Is not often that one can wit
ness such a complete recovery from
such a pertinacious trouble at such an
advanced age, and such instances can
not fall to produce a profound Impres
sion. Headers of the Union may rely
on the absolute accuracy of all the
statements here given — nothing has
been exaggerated, nothing withheld
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new Ilfs
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are for sale by
by all druggists, or may bo had by mall
from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company,
Schenectady, N. Y., for 60c per bo*, or
six boxes for $2.60.
