I doctored for six monllis, but in- stead of impiviving I grew so weak 'hat I could hardly move without as- sLslance. I kwt flesh till ! was alinfisl a skeleton. A friend from Stokes -Bay told me of the great benefit she had de- rived from llje use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and advis4'd me lo try them.
