FOW GRIP
Supervisor Brown Suffered for
Two Years but Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills Cured Him,
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have proved
in hundreds of cases .that they are ad-
mirably suited to correct the disorder
that follow an attack of grip and to re-
store the debilitated and depressed pat-
lent to health and spirits They are
also Invaluable in the treatment of
stomach trouble, especially in cases of
weakened digestion, acidity and flatu-
lence or gas on the stomach. It follows
that when the after-effect of grip takes
the form of ftomach trouble Dr. Wil-
liams Pink Pills are particularly adapt-
ed to effect a cure.

'One Sunday night a little over two
years ago, I was taken suddenly wita

medicine and ^dvlged a liquid diet. On
the following Wednesday I had anofher

doctor gave me something to deflden the
pain.
'I suffered a great de>ai for the next
two years and was under the care of
two doctors for the greater part of tne
time. One called my trouble acute in-
digestion. the other liver itroubie. I was
eak that I was often in bed for sev-
eral days at a time Sotnetlmeg I felt
strong enough to up, but not to
work.
"The doctors' medicine didn't help me.
I was deapondent and had about given
up hope of a cure. SomP of my friends
kept rguing me so strongly to take Dr.
Williams' Pink Pill*, that I finally con-
sented.
