A Winter Bath 
in W hite River 
WHAT GAME OF BREAKING THROUGH THE ICE 
IN A WISCONSIN RIVER IN FEBRUARY. 
From the Chronicle , Chicago, III. 
Five years ago last winter, there was 
considerable commotion on the banks of 
the White River, Wisconsin, as a young 
man named E. N. Ilalleck, had broken 
through the ice, and was for some mo¬ 
ments lost to view. It was not long, 
however, before Mr. Halleck came in 
sight again, and by artistic means was 
fished from the fluid and restored to 
society. If the ducking had been all, it 
would have been well, but unfortunately, 
the young gentleman contracted a heavy 
cold, resulting in chronic rheumatism, | 
complicated with disease of kidney and 
urinary organs. 
“For six mouths,” writes Mr. Halleck, “I was 
laid up, and not able to do anything. During this 
time I snilered with pains in the stomach and 
small of the back, and headache, urination was 
frequent and painful, my heart’s action was in¬ 
creased, and I had aches all over my body, and 
was generally used up. Then I was able to go 
out, but was a confirmed invalid, and for nearly 
four vears X was in that condition, and expected 
then that I should always be disabled for nothing 
that I took gave me any relief. 
“ In December, 1895, I read an advertisement 
about Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and on speaking 
of it to Mrs. A. E. Derby, she strongly urged that 
I should take them, as she said she believed they 
would cure me. I have been under physicians’ 
care for over two years, but as they did me no 
good I did not ask their advice about taking 
these pills, but laid in a supply and began to take 
them. In about 10 days I began to experience 
substantial relief, and continued to take them for 
four months, by which time I was cured. The first 
benefit I obtained was a less frequent desire to 
urinate, and lessening of that dreadful pain in 
the back, which ceased altogether very soon. 
My stomach became comfortable, and my heart’s 
action normal. After the first break my recovery 
was rapid, and to-day I flatter myself I am a 
sound man, and able to attend to my business 
better than I ever could before.” 
(Signed), E. N. Halleck.

Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People 
are not a patent medicine in the sense 
that name implies. They were first com¬ 
pounded as a prescription and used as 
such in general practice by an eminent 
physician. So great was their efficacy 
that it was deemed wise to place them 
within the reach of all. They are now 
manufactured by the Dr. Williams’ 
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., 
and are sold in boxes (never in loose 
form by the dozen or hundred, and the 
public are cautioned against numerous 
imitations sold in this shape) at 50 cents 
a box, or six boxes for $2.50, and may be 
had of all druggists or direct by mail 
from Dr. Williams’ Med. Co.— Adv.
