The - so-called Burleson rate Increased the toll to ft.76, and, he points out, although the public service commission called the Burleson rate arbitrary and unwarranted, S8.75 is the rate provided la the commission's new order.

There were times when it was a great and very painful effort to lift my arm. The palps' were especially severe at night and It was almost Impossible for me to find a position in which I could be com fortable enough to get, to sleep.- Food distressed me and ' never tasted good. . I lost weight and strength. "I had heard ofTr. Williams' Pink Pills for a great many years and when numerous medicines had failed to give me any relief l decided to give this remedy a trial. After 10 days' treat ment I noticed that the pals was a little less severe and I was so pleased with even this small Improvement that I con tinued taking; the pills. In a few weeks the pain entirely disappeared from my back, shoulders and legs. I. get a bo lit now without pain and feel better than I have for a long time. Furthermore I sleep well and am rested In the morning, can eat heartily and have gained strength-. I heartily recommend Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills for the remedy has. proved of -great "value to me."
