A Courier reprosontativo, anxious, al though iiofc surprised, to know tbo rea son for Mr. Cliffs warm 'oulogy of tbo pills, called on that gontloman rocontly. Mr. Olift willingly consented to an in terview, and in tho following story gavo roasons for boing so sincere an advocate of a world renowned, modiciuo. "Soino flvo years, ago," said Mr. Olift, "my daughter Lilly began to droop and fade, and bocamo disinoliriod oifchor for work or pleasure.

For tbo laBt throo years she has been in oxoollont health. It was Pink Pills that virtually brought her from the mouth of the grave ' -' and preserved for mo my only daughtor.
