Recently a reportr of the A cadi en was told another of thoae triumphs of Dr. William*' Pink Pills, which are becoming very common in this vicin- ity. *Aie fortnnate individual is Mr. David Crowell, a highly respected resident of Hortonville. Below is his experience, in sub- stance, as he gave it to ns: "Ahont two years ago, for the first time in my life, I began to realize fully what ill health meant. The lirst gymptom wan a feeling of overpowering drowsi- ness which crept over me at times. Often I would be at work in the field when the urowsiucris would seize me and I would find that it required the exercise of all my power to keep awake. In a short time I was attack- ed bj sharp piercing pains, which Flint through the lower part of my back. At first this did not trouble me very mnch during the day, bnt at night the pain became almost unen- durable and often I would not close my eyes throughout the whole night. Gradually a nauwa aud loathing for food ileveln|)iil. Sometimes I would sit down to a meal with a keen appe- tite, bnt after a mouthful or so had passed my lips, sicklies* and vomiting wonld follow. I became greatly re- duced in Ili-sh and in a short time was but a wreck of my former self. The dux-tor said the tronb/s was disease of the kidneys, bnt this treatment did not help ine. My mother who was something of a nurse, urged me to try L>r. Williams' 1'ink I'ills, and at last to satisfy her more than from hopes of being cnred, I took up their uso. After taking one box I deemed better, and I resolved to try another. Before the second |M>X was nsod my condition was improved 1>< \oml gain- say anil I felt sure th pills were re- sponsible for it. I took two more boxes and before tln-y were all nsed the pain in my bark luid wholly dis- apixwcd, my |i|-iite hud returned and I felt like a now mini. For the sum of two dollars I cured myself of a iminful disooti*.
