Heart Trouble and Doctors Said She Gould Not Will- fink Have Made Her Sound and as a Cricket From the Hun In ft comfortable farm home in near lives Mr a prosperous and most respected citizen In this pleas ant homo the heart of a father and mother beats with gratitude to Dr Williams Pink Pills because they firmly believe they saved tlio life of their little daughter A reporter of Sun having heard of the case drove but to Mr for the purpose of getting at facts and found both father and mother of the little girl very enthusiastic in their praise of the medicine that hag un questionably done so much to relievo suffering this country Said Mr we have good rea son for praising Dr Williams Pink Pills I think they are worth ten times their weight in gold When our little daughter Clara was eight years old she was stricken with what the doctors said was heart trou ble Up to that time she had been a strong healthy child The first symp toms shown were fainting spells and these would attack her without a mo ments warning Wo consulted a doc tor under whoso caro she was for a time but the treatment did her do good in fact she was growing worse Then we called in another doctor and ho frankly told us that he could hold out but little hope for her recovery Bv this time she was confined to bed And for three months she was as help less as ah infant In some of fainting spells she was attacked with convulsions Her appetite seemed en tirely gone and she was reduced to a Hying skeleton At this time I read the particulars of a cure through the use of Dr Williams Pink Pills which gave me hope and I determined that our little girl should try them I first got box and when they were used she seemed brighter Then I got Ave boxes and by the time she had finish them she was as sound a child as you could find in the neighborhood bright and lively as a cricket She has boon going to school for the past eighteen and has shown abso lutely no symptoms of the old trouble I attribute her euro entirely to the Williams Pink Pills and if anyone doubts the truth of this statement you can refer them either to myself or my wife Williams Pink Pills are just as valuable in the case of children as with adults and puny little ones would soon thrive and grow fat un der this treatment which has no equal for building up the blood and giving strength to brain body and nerves Bold by all dealers or
