Father Butler‘s Interesting Experience. sull'ered from an Abacus In the Side Which Dr. \Vllllnmu’ Pink Pills Cured After Other Medicines Failed. Caledonia N.b .Gold Hunter. Faith leads many to believe. yet when one has experienced anything and has reason to rejoice, it is far stronger Droof than faith without reasonable proof. About four miles from . Cale- donia. along a pleasant road, paSSing by numerous farms, lives Rev. T. J. Butler. the parish priest. of this district. Re- ports having come to the ears of our reporter about a wonderful cure effect- ed by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, he_ called on Mr. Butler to seek information on the subject. Mr. Butler spoke in very high terms of the Pink Pills. and said they had saved him untold suffering. and perhaps saved his life. The rever- end gentleman felt a little heSitancy at giVing a public testimonial at first. but after our reporter remarked that if one was really grateful for a remark- able cure, he thought it was his duty to give it publicity for humanity's sake, he cheerfully consented. His story in ‘hlS own words is as follows :â€""I was :led to take Pink Pills through reading ‘ the testimonials in the papers. I was \ troubled with an abscess in my side and {had tried many different medicines Without avail. I took medical advice on . the subject, and was told I would have to undergo an operation to cure it which would cost me about 3100. At last I determined to try Pink Pills, but Without a great feeling of faith of their curing me. One box helped me land I resolved to take a three months' course and give them a fair trial. I . did so. and to-day I am completely cured of the abscess in my side through usmg l’ink Pills, and I always recommend friends of mine to use Pink Pills for diseases of the blood. As Father But- rler is well known throughout this county his statement is a clincher to the many wonderful testimonials that :have appeared in the Gold Hunter from time to time. On enquiring at the stores of J. E. Cushing and N._F. ‘Douglass, it was found that Pink Pills 'have a sale second to none.
