W it h • H a p p y E n d in g .
How Mrs. Anna M. Tucker, of 362
Kossuth avenue, Utica, N. Y ., was
saved from a horrible fate when death's
jaws were almost closing upon her is
told in tlie following statement made
by her to a reporter.
“ It was soon after the birth of my
little boy,” she said. “ Three different
doctors had done their best for me, hut
they all failed to do me any good. My
case seemed to be a combination of
nervous and stomach troubles.
I had
fainting spells, my food.did not digest
and caused me great distress. My head
felt very badly and at .times I was de
lirious. I lost in weight from 130 to
98 pounds, I had no color, my feet and
hands were cold and my limbs had a
prickly Bensation as though asleep. I
was not refreshed by sleep although I
slept heavily. I learned of Dr. W il
liams’ Pink Pills from a published case
similar to mine that had been cured by
tlie pills. I took three or four boxes
before I was certain that I was being
benefitted, but continued their use until
was entirely cured.
“ I am glad to recommend Dr. W il
liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People for
they aro the medicine that saved my
life. I do not believe that ordinary
medicine could have cured me.”
Although Mrs. Tucker’s was a severe
case, Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cured
hor. Lesser troubles yield even more
roadily to the potent action of this mar
velous medicine. Not only will these
pills cure cases similar to Mrs. Tuck
er’s, but they have been proven to be
an unfailing specific for such diseases
as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis,
St. Vitus’ Dance, sciatica, neuralgia,
rheumatism, nervous headache, after

W ith many millions of families Syrup of Figs has become the
ideal home laxative. The combination is a simple and wholesome
one, aud the method of manufacture by the California Fig Syrup
Corapauy ensures that perfect purity and uniformity of product,
which have commended it to the favorable consideration of the
most eminent physicians and to the intelligent appreciation of all
who are well informed in reference to medicinal agents.
Syrup of Figs has truly a laxative effect and acts gently with
out in any way disturbing the natural functions aud with perfect
freedom from any unpleasant after effects.
In the process of manufacturing, figs are used, as they are
pleasant to the taste, but the medicinally laxative principles of the
combination are obtained from plants known to act most bene
ficially on the system.
