RESCUED Dy Her Husband
Among the many pleasantly located and
cozily comfortable homes in the eastern sec
ton of the city of Baltimore, that of Mr..
William A. Thompson, at No. 20S North
md street, would strike a visitor as pos
sessing more than ordinary advantages for
home life. Mr.. Thompson is a highly
esteemed member of Marley Lodge, No. 107,
/. O. o. f., and is generally well known in
that section of the city. In order to confirm
certain statements which had come to him
indirectly, and thereby secure data for ar
interesting article, a reporter called at Mr..
T~hompson's residence. Mrs. Thompson, be.
! ing asked for, received him courteously and
: told the story of her peril in these words:
81 have been q sufferer for fully seventeen
years, during which time 1 nave endured the
most awful misery of mind and body. My
illness became most alarming about five years
ago. Twas attended by Professor Yates and
Doctor Stephenson, of this city, both of whom
stated that | had the most aggravated case Of
nervous dyspepsia and indigestion that they
had ever attended Or heard oil. I am now
nearly 60 years of age and was told by my
physicians that owing to my advanced life
the process Of cure would be slow and diff
cult. / waited patiently for the expected re-
lief, but seemed to grow worse, until finally
] concluded / had to die. | did not eat the
smallest morsel without suffering the most
terrible agony My whole body was racked

might sweats, ard, believing that I was dy-
ing, would send for my friends and neigh
bors. My limbs would become rigid aud
cold, and have often thought I was para
.lyzed, for | completely lost all power of &C.
ton, and would lie in bed gasping for breath.
During all this long period Of suffering the
doctors afforded me no relief. I grew ema-
ciated, could not sleep, entirely lost my appe
title, and was truly the most miserable wo-
man imaginable. My whole nervous system
,was shattered. 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 purchased q bottle Of
Browns Iron Bitters and begged me to try
it. I had no confidence in medicine of any
kind. / believed my case hopeless, and K
fpected to die suddenly in one of my sinking
spells, which I experienced about three times
each week. / however, took Browns Iron
lBitters to crafty my husband. After using
three bottles ! began to feel better. When !
la finished the fourth bottle my husband
and friends were able to notice a great i'm
,provement in my general appearance. My
iappetite returned, and I could eat anything
without the least bad effects. Irapidly grew
stronger and more fieshy. When I had
taken SIX bottles / knew that ] was a well
woman, and at the present time / never felt
better i'm my life, and have gained forty-five
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 il I lad
not used that I am satisfied / would not be
alive to-day. I most cheerfully recommend
that medicine to everybody
Miss Annie L. Agner, Elmeria, Va, says,
FOR years / suffered with attacks of sick
headache, neuralgia and female trouble; tried
various remedies, but found nothing equal te
Browns Iron Bitters.
Mr.. Hugh Daily, Westminster, Nd, says,
! Browns Iron Bitbers cured mt of dyspepsia
.sof 90 years standing. Constant suffering
reduced me almost to q skeleton; this valua
sble medicine speedily and efectually restored
my health.
Mr.. ]. Ryney Whitehead, Halifax, N. c.,
says: I have used Browns Iron Bitters foa
indigestion, loss of appetite and nervousness.
Am satisfied it is q good medicine and taks
pleasure in recommending it.
