81 have been a sufferer for fully il
years, during which time | have endured
the most awful misery Of mind and body.
My illness became most alarming about
five years ago. I was attended by Pro
lessor Yates and DR.. Stephenson, OF this
city, both of WI ON stated that l had the
most aggravated case of nervous dyspep-
STA and indigestion they had ever attend
ed or heard of. l am now nearly go years
of age and was told by my PHYSICIANS

cess of cure would be slow and difficult.
/ waited patiently for the expected relief.
but seemed TO grow worse, until finally
concluded had to die. l could not eat
the smallest mOrsel without suffering
the most terrible agony. My
whole body was racked with
pain and misery. Frequently had
night sweats, and, believing that l was
dying, would send for my friends and
neighbOrs. My limbs would become rigid
and cold, and l have often thought L was
paralyZed, for | completely lost all power
of action. and would lie in bed gasping
for breath. During all this long period
of suffering the doctors afforded me no re-
lief. l grew emaciated, could not sleep,
entirely lost my appetite, and was truly
the most miserable woman imaginable.
Ny whole nervous system was shattered.
i never expected TO get well, and my
friends have since told me that
they expected to learn of my death at
any time. One day my husband pur-
chased a hottie of Browns Iron Bitters
and begged me to try it. had no confidence
in medicine of any kind. believed my case
hopeless, and expected to die suddenly in
one of the sinking spells, which l expert
enced about three times each week. l,
however, took Browns Iron Bitters to
crafty my husband. After using three
| bottles l began to feel better. When I
| had finished the fourth bottle my husband
and friends were able to notice great i'm
| prOvement in my general appearance.
| My appetite returned, and l could eat
| ANYTHING without the least bad effects. |
/ rapidly grew stronger and more feshy.
| When | had taken six bottles 1 knew that
| | was well woman, and at the present
time l never felt better in my life, and
| have gained 40 pounds in flesh. | firmly
| believe that Browns Iron Bitters saved
my life, for / had stopped taking all other
medicines and only used Browns Iron
Bitters, and if had not used that / am
satisfied 1 would not be alive to-day.
II most cheerfully recommend that
medicine to everybody. There are hun
dreds OF my friends who daily cOngr3tU-
late me upon my complete restoration to
health and vigor, and l gladly give any
desired information to those who feel in
