My life was made miserable, and for days together I partially starved rather,., than take a full meal and face the'consequences. As-my daughter recommended Dr Williams' pink pills, I began taking them. Alter a few doses I felt a little benefited, and one box made great improvement. Four boxes cured me. My health now is splendid. I can eat almost anything, and am quite strong and active."- Miss Taylor, when questioned, said :—"I was pale, thin and and anaume for four years. 1 tried many tonics, but. they were ineffectual.
