The postman often has strange experl ncest. One of thes? came recently to Mr. C. V. Alien ot 377 St. Albans street, St. Paul. Minn., who has been a letter carrier for the past thirteen years. He is ZS years old and ha passed the greater portion ot his life in St. Paul. Owing to exfosure. Mr. Allen contracted a severe case of muscular rheumatism, which doctors failed to relieve. Hearing of the m"nt. if Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, he was persuad ed to trv a box. His improvement date from that period. To use Mr. Allen's own language: "The tlrst box brought me the llrt real relief from suffering I had experi enced in weeks, the second made me prac tically well again and. since taking the third. I have had no recurrence of the rheu matism, though it has been more than a vear Mnce I u---eil Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Why shouldn't I recommend them?" The blood in rheumatism has an acid im purity which irritates the sensitive tlfsue that unite the joints and cover the muscles, thus causing those indescribable torturs which rheumatic sufferers endure. Eh" umatUm is always dungeruus, as It i liable to attack the heart. Years ago those afflicted were hlfd. as if taking away some of the Impure blood could remedy tha balance. This folly has been abandoned and to-day physicians prescribe and druggists recommend the use of Dr. Williams' Pink 1'ills fot Pale People, as these marvelous vegetable pills go directly to the seat of the trouble, exerting a powerful Influence in purifying and enriching the blood by elim inating -poisonous elements and renewing health-giving force-thus making a pottnt remedy for curing this disease. Dr. William- Pink Pills for Pale PeopI will not only cure rheumatism, but are a positive specific for all diseases arising from impoverished blood or shattered nerves.
