His case completely batiled the doctor. "is right arm began to swell and from the shoulder to the wrist it was of one size. With the swelling came a stiffness which made him unable to bend his arm at the elbow, or move it about. Then a purple swelling similar to that on the legs, broke out on the forehead, extending from the right to the left eye- brow. it had a glossy appearance, in fact looked as though it had been varnished. We were greatly alarmed, for my little boy's condition was pitiable and every eff-m we were making to relieve him only ended in failure. One of my neighbors advised me to try Dr. William's Pink Pills, and as his case was sodesperate thatI was willing to try anything that might better it, I decided to do so. Be- fore two weeks had passed there was a decided change in his condition. The spots that had covered his legs and fore head began to assume a greenish tinge and to disappear. How gladly we con- tinued the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, feeling that we had at last discover- ed a medieinethatwonldcureonrohild. Nor were we mistaken.
