Transcribed by Ann Selchick. Geo. THE NORTHERN NEWS, OCTOBER 9, 1897. TEN YEARS’ PENALTY FOR LYING DOWN. ____ “It is ten years ago this year that I recklessly lay down in an open field when I was in a bath of perspiration.” Thus confessed a countryman. The consequences were serious. He said, “I got rheumatism, and my spine became diseased, and in fact, I seemed to be completely breaking up. I went into Salisbury Infirmary with my complaint, where I received the most careful attention, and I certainly obtained some relief, but I had not been out of the hospital long ere I was as bad as before, and I had to give up my work. This was ten years ago. I failed to get any better until early in the present year I read in the papers the wonderful cures that Dr. WILLIAMS Pink Pills for Pale People had effected, and I decided upon the persuasion of my wife, to try a box. In March last I bought the first box. I did not seem to feel any benefit for a day or so, but I went on the pills and to my great surprise before I had finished the first box I certainly felt much better. I bought a second box, but actually I did not require them at all! I was never better in my life than at this time.” “Do you really credit your recovery to the effects of Dr. WILLIAMs’ Pink Pills and to them only?” queried the reporter of the Wilts Mirror, from which this is reprinted. “I certainly do,” said the patient cheerfully, and he gladly consented to publication of the case with his name and address - Mr. John LAMPARD, St. Martin, near Salisbury. Ten years suffering is a heavy penalty for a momentary error: and Mr. LAMPARD would have been suffering still, but for his fortunate discovery. ______________ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Start the year off right.
