HEART DISEASE FROM CHILD- HOOD.

re-

From Ou Journal, Quinsy, IlHnota.Paul Gross, of 0M South Third Street,

Quincy, ill., is well kuown to many of the Journal readers. He M twenty-nine years old, waa born and alm ost raised in Quinoy. A t present he Is watobman on the “Peo­ple’s” fe rry bo at

Many who have known Paul since infancy know th a t he haa been near death’s door several times. Seeing him strong and vig­orous. the w riter asked him the other even­ing w nat physician had cured him. His ; ply astonished us. This is w hat he sa id :

“Dr. W illiams’ P in k P ills for Pale People a re my doctor. They beat all the physicians In the oouutry.”

When asked If he would object to the Journal publishing an account of his cose, Mr. Gross replied:

“ Not a b i t I would be glad If you would tell w hat P ink Pills did for me—it m ight be the m eans of relieving others who suf­fe r as I suffered.

“I had heart dictate; of course you know th a t When a child I had palpitation of the h e a r t and in afte r years all the ooiqpli cations th a t heart disease produces. At first the palpitations were not serious, for they would last only a few seconds, but as 1 grew older the palpitations gradually grew worse until they would completely prostrate me. These palpitations would sometimes last th irty m inutes, the blood would rush to my head and I would become so dizzy and my sight become so dimmed that I could not define any object before me. I could hardly get my breath, and i t seemed to me that my heart would burst. A t times 1 thought that I was dying. When my heart failed to do Its w ork properly m y blood became impure and th a t caused o th er troubles.

“ I doctored with first one physician and then another, but the doctors only aggra­vated the disease. One day, two years ago. 1 saw an article concerning Dr. Williams’

Pink Pills in a newspaper, and I made np my mind to try them —I thank the Lord that I aid. I took th ree boxes of the Pink Pills.They not only relieved me. but completely stopped the pulpitatious and restored me to a state of general health of which I was proud.

" I believed that I was entirely cured, but afte r about eighteen months 1 noticed a slight fullness of the heart. I a t once got a box of the Pink P ills which effectually re­moved this trouble, and I firmly believe that had I taken six boxes of Uie pills instead of three in the first plnce, I would never have experienced this ‘fullness.’

“Many times have I thanked God for hav­ing directed Dr. W illiam s’ Pink Pills to me, for they restored me to health—and health has brought me happiness.

“As a blood purifier and as atonic, I know of nothing th a t can equal these pills.

“You can say in the J o u r n a l that Paul Gross desires all people to try P ink Pills, fo r I would bo glad if others could be blessed as I have been blessed.”

Dr. W illiams’ P ink Pills contain, in a con­densed form, all the elements necessarv to g ive new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an un­failing specific for such diseases as loco­motor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica, neuralgia,rheum atism ,nerv­ous headache, the afte r effect of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, all form s of weakness either In m ale or female, and all diseases resulting from vitiated hum ors in the blood.
