YEARS OF PAIN
The Experience of Mr. William Smith
of'Ha'wlresbury, Who Suiered for 1
Many _ Years from Kidney
Trouble.
From the Post, Hawkesbul'!,0lll~
Everybody in Hawkesbury knows Mr. '
Wiiiiiiiii smith. He came here when the '
town was yet in its village days, as one of
he lumber company’s stall’ of mechanics.
n 1881 Mr. Smith was appointed town
constable, and filled that position until
very recently. As is well known to many
of Mr. Smith’s friends he has sulfered `
much from kidney trouble for quitea ,
number of years past, and at times the
pain in his back was so great that he was _
almost physically incapable of exertion.
He doctored a great deal, but the cause of _
the triuble wasiiot removed, and soon the
pains, accompanied alternately by chills
and fever, returned. At last he came to
-look upon his condition as one which no
medicine could permanently aid. Indeed 
his condition might still have been one of f
much suffering had not Mrs. Smith ultim- it
ataly prevailed upon her husband to give
D;-_ VVilliam's Pink Pills a. trial. “It
seemed,” said Mr. Smith to a reporter of
the Post, “that it was a useless iexperi-
ment, and yet I was willing to do almost
anything that_would bring relief. I had
not used the pills long before there was
undoubted relief, more in fact than I had
continued their use. and   WMD-
