FREQUENTLY DUE TO SLUGGISH LIVER OR KIDNEY TROUBLES. Mr, Frank Walters, of Exetar.

Mr. Frank Walters is a young man personally known to most of the residents of Exeter, where he has lived nearly ull hiB life. Talking with the editor of the Advocate recently Mr. Walters said :���"In justice to Pr. Williams' Pink Pills I think it my duty, in view of whut they have done for me, to add my lest monial to lho thousands of others that huve been printed. For some months 1 suffered most severely from pains coursing up aud down my back. It was thought that these pains weru due to liver aud kidney trouble, but whatever the muse, they frequently loft uie in terrible agony. The pains were not always confined to the back, but would shift to other parts of the body. As a result I gol little rest, my appetite became impaired, and 1 fell off greatly In weight. I fried different remedies suggested by friends, which having no ��� effect almost disgusted me with medicine. Then a personal friend urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I was not easily persuaded because I hud about concluded that medicine would not relieve me, but he insisted and finally I decided to try them. I purchased one box at lirst, and to my astonishment before It was finished I was greatly relieved. Then I got a couple more boxes and these restored mo to my former good health- I do not hesitate recommending this medicine that others may profit by my experience, und not suffer tortures as I did."
