"Some years ago I fell victim to tour on malaria while making a business," states Mr. Ekanayaka, "The fever attacks were recurrent and made me very weak. For about niue months I was trying various medicines in the hope of getting the malaria out of my system but they had little or no- effect.

"One day a little book came into my hends. wherein I read of cases of malaria having been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and thus was led to try this remedy. After the first bottle my temperature im- proved and I found my appetite returning. So I continued the treatment until I was completely restored. Ever since then I have kept good health, so from my own experience I can recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Fills as a cure for malaria."
