" No, arid ! I DON'T FEEL VERY DEAD ; either, young man. I feel very much alive. : Why, do you know," he said impressively, I " that I've increased twelve pounds in ; weight s'nee I took those pills of Dr V-iHams 1 ." " Have yor ?" "Yes. / have. I improved gradu&Uy from the firs*, dose. First, I took a pill at a time, pnd later on increased the dose. Up to now I've taken about thirteen boxes, and I feel so well that I intend to discon- ; tinue them altogether. As it is, I haven't had any for over a week, and I feel first class." " Have you a good appetite now ?" "Rather," he laughed out. "lm always ready for my meals now, AND SLEEP LIKE A TOP. • And wheu I wake up I feel like a man instead of the weary wreck that I was three months ago." " How about the pains ?" "Oh ! they've all left me, I haven t felt them at all for a couple of months. " I supposp yon wrlk better now ?" " Yea. Before I to. ■< Dr. William' Pink Pills I'd hr.ye t" . • t,-vo or thi" times just walking i;Vo Ro !<weod.

" I "had to knock my cold baths el, too," he said, " becn^c I w<i 9 getting so weak, but now TtVi-- '..'- r ■ every morning. My dmestive organs are in perfect order, and all th luncuons of my body do tiieir duty." " And I'm only doing mine," he added, 11 in telling you this." " Do you feel as well as you did before the war ?" "Yes. I honestly feel better today THAN I DID TWENTY YEARS AGO, and that's saying a good deal, as I'm getting an old man now." "You firmly believe in Dr Williams Pink Pills, then ?" " Believe in the pills ?" he queried. " I should think I do. They've done a hundred times more for me than all the doctor-; and medicines I've seen and taken for nigh on eighteen years. That's sayiDg a good lot, but it's true. Believe in the pills ? I should think 1 did." Then we shook hand* with this gay old veteran and bade him " Good-bye," and wished him a long and happy life. As we went up the garden walk, "I say," he caUed after us, " look at this. We turned round, and found him vigorously going through a number of army extension movements with his arms. Then he held his leg^ straight, and bending his body touched the ground easily with either hand. " I couldn't do that before," he said. We closed the gate and left him there amidst his fruit trees and his blossoming vines. It is not only in cases like those described above, however, that Dr. Williams' Pills are so valuable.
