Lost Appetite. 
COULD NOT EAT THE MOST TEMPTING DISHES. 
Many Days Without any Food at All—Gan Eat Four Square 
Meals a Day Now—The Cause of the Change. 
From the Leader, 
For the restoration of an appetite 
which has been impaired or lost through 
sickness, no remedy can compare in 
effectiveness with Dr. Williams’ Pink 
Pills for Pale People. This statement 
is substantiated by the experience and 
declarations of men and women with 
whom these pills have become a house¬ 
hold medicine. Among the many who 
can offer testimony to this particular 
property of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills is 
George Marshall, Jr., who lives at No. 
19 Norwich St., Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. 
Marshall is a news agent on the Lake 
Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad, 
and his territory extends from Cleveland 
to Toledo. Like thousands of others 
who owe their health and vigor to Dr. 
Williams’ Pink Pills, Mr. Marshall never 
hesitates to sing their praises. In his 
case it was necessary to use only a 
few boxes of the pills to restore him to 
the full possession of bodily health. His 
digestive organs had become almost 
useless through a long and serious ill¬ 
ness, but in a surprisingly brief period, 
through the agency of this wonderful 
medicine, they were capable of again 
performing their functions in a regular 
and perfectly satisfactory manner. In 
narrating his experience with them Mr. 
Marshall said : 
•‘Last spring I was taken sick with inflammatory 
rheumatism, and my entire system was affected. To 
Cleveland, Ohio. 
relieve the suffering it was necessary to paint me 
with iodine. After three months treatment 1 became 
convalescent, but the attack had sapped my strength 
and left me extremely weak and feeble. 1 could 
scarcely lift an arm or a leg This weakness per¬ 
meated my entire system, and applied as well to my 
stomach and digestive apparatus as to my limbs I 
soon discovered that I had lost my appetite almost as 
completely as though 1 never had one. 1 had no 
desire whatever to partake of any nourishment, and 
the natural result was that my convalescence was 
extremely slow, and my parents feared that I was 
going to suffer a relapse or fall prey to another ail¬ 
ment on account of my debilitated condition 
“Many a day 1 would not take any nourishment, 
and whenever I did the quantity was too insignificant 
to materially hasten my improvement. Tempting 
dishes were prepared for me. but I could not touch 
them. I began to become more or less alarmed as 
did my parents, and one day my mother suggested 
the purchase of some of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for 
me. They had been recommended to her by a neigh¬ 
bor who regarded them as nothing short of miracu¬ 
lous. and dwelt so enthusiastically on their excellent 
qualities that mother was persuaded to try them. 
There is not much more to tell now, for I don't look 
like a man who cannot eat three or four square 
meals a day, do I ? 
“Three boxes of l)r Williams’ Pink Pills fixed me 
up as sound as a dollar, and they will do thesame 
for anyone else, 1 am sure It was not long after I 
began to use the pills that. I could feel myself im¬ 
proving. My strength began to return and so did my 
appetite, and I was on the road again in a short time. 
That is my experience, and I am glad to give it for 
the benefit of others who may have lost their appe¬ 
tites through sickness.” 
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain all 
the elements necessary to give new life 
and richness to the blood and restore 
shattered nerves. They are for sale by 
all druggists, or may be had by mail 
from Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, 
Schenectady, N. Y., for 50c. per box, or 
six boxes for $2.50
