Tht (ioo.l Fortune Would Not Come-An Ap parent Trifle Kroughtlt About. As with many other women, fortune lingered a long while before coming to Mrs. Knowles. But finally a trifling occurrence brought it to her. Mrs. George M. Knowles lives at No. 16 North street, Portland. Me., and when a reporter visited her to learn the facts of the case, she said: "For a year and a hilf I suffered tortures from rheumatism. When I arose In the morning or when I got up to walk after 1 had been sitting down for a while, mv inints stiff and I could not move easily as I did before the rheumatism set in. Mv feet ached and I could not walk with out limping for some minutes after I started out. It was very painful and interfered a great deal with mv household duties." "How did you succeed in becoming cured?" asked the newspaper man. ' "It was one of those apparently lit tle things that brought it about," re plied Mrs. Knowles, with a smile. "I had been suffering in this way for a year and a half when one day I hap pened to pick up the paper and to see an advertisement of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I made up my mind to try them. When I had taken one box I felt better and after I had taken the pills for about two months all the pain was gone. This was a year ago. and the rheumatism has not troubled me since." The above statement of Mrs. Knowles was sworn to at the report er's request before Marshall II. Pur rington. notary public, at Portland, and published In the Express, a re liable newspaper of that city. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People will not only cure cases simi lar to that of Mrs. Knowles, hut. con taining, as they do, all the elements necessary to give new life and rich ness to the blood and restore shat tered nerves, they have proved efflca cious In a wide range of diseases.
